The campaign to "Save Psi Factor" has ended, and I have given some information below as to why the campaign has ended. Those who chose to fight fought what we thought was a good fight, but it just didn't work out. This page will re-direct you shortly to the new domain we have established at www.psifi.net. While I love to give more detailed information, you should find the below explanation pretty much contained, but if you have further questions, you can contact me directly at hyphenate@aol.com, or through the new website you are being directed to.

You may click here if the redirect transition is too long for you! Psi Fi!

I am sending this announcement to the three separate Save Psi Factor Campaign mailing lists, as well as posting it to the Campaign website, the regular Psi Factor mailing list, the Links page, and the Psi Fi board. If someone does NOT receive the news, it means they are not among the known online Psi Factor fans in existence, have lost their interest in the series, or are just out of touch with reality. (Which, unfortunately seems to be a LOT of people!)

I met with David Rosen, Psi Factor's fourth season producer, at the Lights, Camera, Auction event in Toronto, Ontario, on October 22, 2000. The event was informal, as was our meeting. With me was Clover, another Psi Factor fan, and between us, and a couple of others (including Lora, Janet, Jill, Rae and a few others), we represented the fandom for the series at the Auction.

Of course, we had many questions to ask Mr. Rosen about the show, and we were glad to have the opportunity to do so.

The first thing we discussed was TNT's purchase of the series. Mr. Rosen had previously been unaware that TNT was stripping (showing it 5 days a week) the series, and he hadn't been certain if they had purchased three or four seasons. So much for TNT's continuing involvement with the show's producers.

I asked him about the possibility of anything further happening with the series, in terms of either a movie, a 5th season, or ANYTHING else at all. The answer was resounding, short and final: there is NO possibility of anything further being done for the series in terms of future production. It is over, done with, complete, ended. Barclay Hope, with whom I also met briefly over the weekend, reiterated that sentiment as well. Psi Factor holds no future in terms of being made into a series again, nor of being made into a film. And with TNT's treatment of it, it is not even garnering enough support to gain any resurgence in popularity.

Thus, with this news and information, I will be shutting down the Save Psi Factor website and other affiliated dialogs. For any continuing Psi Factor fans who DO wish to be kept up on the series, either for purpose of correspondence, or for information on the actors or production staff, or who simply wish to talk about the show (and there are still enough of us!), I suggest you join the regular Psi Factor mailing list at egroups. The regular list will enable fans to keep in touch with each other on a regular basis, but whose main directive is NOT as a campaign list.

As the Save Psi Factor campaign site has now been shut down, I would like the webmasters of all sites who have participated in either the button campaign or the webring to contact me, as I have added a "Friends of Psi Factor" webring to the new Psi Fi website, where fans can continue to be part of the webring and interact with each other.

The Links page will no longer be updated as it stands; however, I have added two separate Links pages to the new site, and hope people will become involved in that new site, as it iss being built for everyone, and will continue to be for all fans. The Fan Fiction Archive will remain quite active, I think, as we get new stories all the time, and my own Psi Factor sites will also keep going as well.

The Psi Fi board, too, will offer a continuing section on Psi Factor, though already its emphasis is centered on general psi/SF subjects.

Mr. Rosen gave me some enlightenment on some other relevant issues for which I have begun to post my reports on the Psi Fi board. However, the news in respect to the series was important to disseminate to fans as widely as I could. Feel free to post the information to anyone else you feel could benefit from this information. Any false hopes of the series being renewed can thus be put into their proper perspective.

Sad as the news might be, we must admit that we, as fans of Psi Factor, should consider ourselves lucky. We had, after all, a full 88 episodes--four season run, which is a lot better than many other shows are able to achieve. In network television, a four season run is a major accomplishment, and for a syndicated show such as Psi Factor, it is extraordinary. We must give credit where it is due, and thank the solid and ceaseless devotion of those who brought us the series over the past four years.

Due to Mr. Rosen's and Barclay Hope's generosity, I will be able to post updates (on an infrequent basis) on the current and future activities of many who worked on the series. I hope those of you out there who are fans will continue to remain fans, and follow both the actors and the production members in their new endeavors. These updates will be posted to the Psi Fi board in the future.

We may not have been a large fandom, but for better or worse, we have been a tenacious one!!

Wishing everyone my best at this time, and please--do not hesitate to email me in respect to anything you might have read here. I will do my best to answer your questions.
