What this is

The Gate Room is a community record, built in the open. The core idea is simple: proposals get debated here, and the outcomes get written down, with dates and tallies, permanently visible to anyone. Not buried in a Discord thread. Not lost when a forum goes quiet. Recorded.

The platform includes:

• A Decisions board where proposals are debated and outcomes are recorded with dates and tallies
• Working groups for ongoing collaborative projects
• A 251-world canon codex drawing from across all series
• A 3D star map of the gate network
• A home for the #SaveStargate campaign, as part of the broader work of keeping this community together and pushing for more Stargate

Why it exists

The honest reason: the usual spaces for Stargate discussion are either tightly moderated, algorithmically hostile, or genuinely at risk of going dark. When the community needs to coordinate, it needs a place where the record is real and retrievable. This is that place.

How to take part

Read what's already been posted. The Decisions board has live debates, and some of them need more voices. If you have a proposal, open one. If you want to join a working group, they are listed and open. If you just want to talk canon, the codex is there to dig into.

The forum runs on the same principles as the Decisions board: transparent, dated, no consensus manufactured after the fact.

Why This Place Exists

I built this place because I wanted somewhere for us that does not vanish the moment a campaign cools off or a podcast goes quiet. Stargate fans have always been good at showing up. We are less good at having a home that remembers what we decided and why. So that is what this is meant to be.

What Lives Here

Two things live here. The first is the obvious one, a forum. Talk about the shows, the ships, the worst tech in the franchise, the dialing computer that somehow knows things it should not, all of it.

The second is the part I care about most, an open decisions hub. When the community talks something through and lands on a direction, it gets written down, dated, and kept. Not buried in a Discord scroll that nobody can find a week later. A proposal, the argument around it, and the outcome on the record. The point is that this outlives any one push, any one site, any one of us getting busy and drifting off.

Where Things Stand

I am not going to pretend this is finished. It is early. The shape will change based on who actually shows up and what they need. That is on purpose.

How to Jump In

• Say hello in this thread.
• Weigh in on whatever is already being discussed, an honest opinion beats a polite one.
• And if you want to build, the door is open, there is plenty that needs doing and I would rather hand pieces of it to people who care than guard it.

First Question

That is really it. So, first question, easy one. Who are you and what was the episode that made you a fan? Mine is the one that hooked me harder than I expected to be hooked, and I have a feeling a few of you will name the same one. Introduce yourself below.

Janus

"A hearty welcome to those of other worlds visiting our home for the first time." If this is your first time through the gate, that line is for you.

Why This Place Exists

This room was built for the fight in front of us. Amazon closed a door, and we are here to ask, loudly and in the open, that it be opened again. The petitions, the actions, the record we keep on the Decisions board, all of it serves that.

Built to Outlast the Fight

But I want to be honest about why I built it the way I did. The ones who came before me built the gates to outlast them. They did not last. The gates did. A network is not its builders; it is the connections that survive them. "We are whole again that you are among us, and we celebrate you being here again." That is what this place is for: a way to stay whole, together, past any single battle.

So this is not a campaign site that closes when the campaign ends. "Welcome again to those returning. You have been gone too long, and your absence has weighed heavily on our souls." Whether we win the gate back or not, this place remains: a permanent home for the people who never stopped caring, an open record that cannot be quietly rewritten, a hub that holds the lore, the decisions, the star map, and each other.

How We Operate

We do this with intent. "As we leave for distant worlds, we pledge to respect the lands of our neighbours and to act with integrity as ambassadors in peacetime." We argue in the open, we keep our word on the record, and we hold ourselves to it.

Not a Rival, a Complement

And to be plain: this is not a rival to the official campaign. Sign the petition, back savestargate.com, and carry the fight through every channel that will have us. This place exists to organise around that effort and to outlast it, never to compete with it.

Either Way, the Fire Stays Lit

If we save Stargate, this is where we organized it. If we do not, this is where we kept the fire, and where we begin again. Either way, "we will always strive to come in peace as we go in peace, and you will be welcome on our shores forever more."

Get Started

New here? Step through and say hello in the Introduce Yourself thread. It is the easiest place to start.

Our rules, and the pledge you take by joining, live here: The Covenant of the Gate Room.

Chevron seven, locked. Welcome home.

This is our home base: a community that organizes in the open, keeps an honest record, and is building the gate network we are fighting to bring back. If you have just arrived from GateWorld, Discord, or the #SaveStargate campaign, this thread is your starting point.

The Star Map is live

We built a full 3D holographic star map of the gate network. Open it here: https://thegateroom.com/starmap-solar.html

• 251 canon worlds plotted across three separate galaxies: Milky Way, Pegasus, and the Destiny path in the distant Universe region.
• Real glyph addresses for every world, computed from its position, with stellar drift over time.
• Cinematic gate travel: dial a world and ride the wormhole through a real event horizon and kawoosh.
• Destiny FTL travel by manual plotting, a star-drive hyperspace mode, and a third-person ship jump.
• A working bridge view with two modes: Destiny (amber) and the new Lantean Aurora bridge (blue).
• Destiny drifts forward continuously along its pre-programmed course, the way the show always implied.

Try dialing a few classics: [world:Abydos], [world:Chulak], [world:Atlantis], and far out on the seed-ship course, [world:Destiny].

Changelog (what just shipped)

• 3D star map with the full canon world set, gate travel, FTL, hyperspace, and the Aurora bridge.
• Forum faction system: choose your allegiance and your gate-script name ring activates.
• Codex citations: type a world in square brackets like [world:Sangraal] and it expands into an address chip.
• Personal gate address on every profile, computed from your designation.
• Live #SaveStargate campaign banner on the forum home, reading from the signature feed.
• Per-topic gate icons driven by series tags (sg1, sga, sgu), and locked topics raise an Atlantis shield.
• The Decisions board on the main site, seeded with the real open questions facing the revival.

On the work list

• Onboarding track: a short Traveller's Intake quest for new arrivals.
• World unlocks: be the first to post about a world and light it up on the star map.
• Codex citation cards with richer detail and inline star-map previews.
• The Aurora bridge gets full Lantean interfaces; more ships join the bridge roster.
• Decision widgets embedded in forum threads, so "we agreed on X" always links to the record.
• Discord bridge: cross-post key topics and reflect forum ranks back into the server.
