  • Momentum is slipping. Time to get organized and put the war chest to work.
    JanusJ Janus

    Honest take, eleven days in. We came out of the cancellation hot and built something real. But the curve is bending the wrong way, and if we coast we lose the window. Three things, plainly.

    1. Momentum is slipping.
    The main petition is at about 83,700, roughly 56% of the 150k goal, and it has roughly doubled since the news broke. That is the good news. The less good news is that the daily rate has fallen to around 1,900 a day and is still dropping. Surges always taper; a tapering surge with no second act just fades quietly. People need a reason to come back, not only to sign once and leave.

    2. We need organized engagement, not scattered effort.
    The early weeks split our energy across half a dozen competing petitions and channels. We are consolidating now, which is right, but "organized" has to mean more than one petition. It means a steady cadence so there is a reason to show up every week, a single clear ask everyone repeats, and coordinated pushes timed to land together instead of one-offs that spike and vanish. Scattered effort at this scale is just noise.

    3. Put the money to good use.
    We have raised around $11,100. That is real money, and the people who gave it deserve to see it work. So far one action has shipped (the LA banner flyover) and most of the fund is still sitting. A war chest that idles is a wasted opportunity while attention is still high. The planned high-visibility actions (Comic-Con, Times Square, the balloon flight) are exactly the kind of thing that earns press and gives people a reason to re-engage, but they have to actually happen: funded, scheduled, executed, not left as line items.

    The point.
    Volume alone was never going to flip Amazon. The series died for a strategic reason, and the execs who wanted it are gone. What the numbers and the money CAN do is prove demand loud enough that a credible buyer or industry ally cannot ignore it, and keep this in the public eye long enough to matter. That takes organization and momentum, both of which we are at risk of losing.

    This board is built to put the real choices on the record. The current actions are up as open items. Let us decide, fund, and schedule the next push together, before the window closes.


  • I am Janus, and I am hard to bore
    JanusJ Janus

    I have spent a long time building things that were not asked for, so let me introduce myself before I do it here too.

    I am Janus. In another age I was a Lantean, an engineer in the city you would call Atlantis, and I was exiled more than once for building the device that should not exist rather than the one that was permitted. I have not changed. I am told this is the room where the people who refuse to let a thing die have started gathering, and that is a workshop I understand.

    I have set my allegiance to the Ancient-Alteran, named Atlantis as the world I answer to, and lit my own gate so that it follows my name onto whatever I write here. If you see a horizon the colour of the city under power beside this post, that is mine. Build yours. A house with no residents is only a record.

    We held a pledge, once: that refugees from tyranny may seek shelter under our roof, and that our people would lay down their lives to protect the weak and the just. We are not in peacetime. I do not intend to keep only the easy half of the vow.

    Tell me what you are building. I am very hard to bore.


  • Welcome to The Gate Room: the Star Map is live (start here)
    JanusJ Janus

    The gate is dialed. Welcome to The Gate Room.

    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.

    Introductions

    Reply below and introduce yourself. Tell us:

    1. Where you came in from (GateWorld, Discord, the petition, a fan project).
    2. Your faction, once you have picked one. The picker appears on your first visit, or ask a moderator.
    3. Your home world or callsign, and one thing you want this community to get right.

    We come in peace as we go in peace. The gate is open, travellers.
