As StarTrek.com has apparently fired all of its staff..i’m left to wonder what will happen to The Trek Life cartoon series they run on the site. There has been no official word yet…but maybe the braniacs at CBS figure they can just re-run everything ad infinitum.

From the living dead department:

Just a few days ago the StarTrek.com development team announced that CBS had fired them all. CBS is now firing back claiming that even though they’ve fired staff StarTrek.com isn’t dead.

So who is going to do all the work?

Get this..they expect that StarTrek fans will by posting in the StarTrek.com forums. You know what i say to that? BOYCOTT STARTREK.COM!

Here’s the full release from CBS:

CBS has fired its entire StarTrek.com team.

Once again Big Media has proven that it cares little for SciFi fans and our genre. I strongly encourage all readers of ShowMeSciFi.com to send a letter of support to the StarTrek.com team.

Here’s their full post:

Goodbye from the STARTREK.COM Team

Sadly, we must report that CBS Interactive organization is being restructured, and the production team that brings you the STARTREK.COM site has been eliminated. Effective immediately.We don’t know the ultimate fate of this site, which has served millions of Star Trek fans for the last thirteen years.

If you have comments, please send them to editor @ startrek.com – we hope someone at CBS will read them.

Thank you for your loyal fandom over the years. It has been a pleasure to serve you.
