And unfortunately the good members are the ones that leave.....Please don't let me scary any of you away from here. For the most part, this board is quite peaceful.

For the most part Chit Chat is peaceful. The Politics /Current Events board is the only real exception. If you post there, you'd better be prepared for some very heated responses. CC Main develops arguments from time to time, but generally is calm. The same goes for Movies and Music. And, of course, the CC Games board almost never has any trouble. As far as I've seen, most of the boards for individual shows are very tranquil, although there are some notable exceptions. The TZ board only rarely generates an argument.

Sad news. The Fifth Dimension site is currently, and for the foreseeable future, off the Web. Apparently CBS has threatened the site owner (Matthew Cregg) with legal action. There were a lot of pictures from the series on the site that CBS owns the rights to, and probably a lot of other things.

If anything changes, I'll let you know if no one else does first.

I got the news also & I'm just devestated about it. I'd like to know what CBS has to lose by this website being on the internet? If Matt were charging a fee then I could understand it but he wasn't. That guy really put a lot of hard work into that site and now CBS is whining and for no logical reason that I can see. It's funny to me that some sites can stay up but others can't. I hope nothing happens to this one, I kinda like it here although I don't post very often. Bevis, What would you think about keeping the message board & the chat room open? I doubt CBS could legally force those 2 areas of the site to close because of freedom of speech.

Mr. Bevis · 02-15-2004, 10:53 AM

Yeah, this was shocking and very saddening for me, too. I don't see how CBS could object to the message board or chat room, either. I hope they can come back.

The irony is that Matt's site probably made money for CBS. The Fifth Dimension made me a Twilight Zone fan again. I know I would never have gotten the DVDs of the series I have if the site had never existed--and of the hundreds of people who were members there, and thousands more who visited the site, there are probably several others who would say the same thing. I don't know whether CBS gets a percentage of the profits on the DVDs or just a flat fee, but either way, you'd think they'd see anything that generates interest in the series as a good thing.

There is a temporary ezboard for former members of the Fifth Dimension. It will last for 30 days, and it's at

pub119.ezboard.com/btwilightzonerevisited

TZRider77 has set this up for us (anybody remember that name? It's very nice of him/her, whoever he/she is).

Unfortunately, I can't log in right now because of my old "Walter Smith" local account. I can't get a new account, but can't delete the old one. Serves me right for getting a local account.

Hope no one else has any problems!

TZRider77 has announced that he's going to extend this ezboard for a while. Meanwhile, the consensus among the people who've been meeting at the temporary board is that we're going to continue at Eric Burke's new TZWorld board, here: www.dkompanie.com/tzworld.

Right now this board has 40+ members and is still growing (compared to over 300 members at the Fifth Dimension board). There's still a lot of 5th D'ers who haven't been found yet, and perhaps some have been lost for good. I hope some of them might come across this post.

Also, any posters here who might feel that they have additional time to talk about the Twilight Zone, beyond what they already do here, are encouraged to drop by and take a look around. It may not be a comfortable fit for everyone, but there are a lot of nice people there who will do their best to make you feel welcome.

OK, here is an update. As of yesterday afternoon, the site is back on the Web!

Matt had to take a lot of things off the site, but there are still a lot of things there. A new message board is attached to the site, and needless to say, people reading here are welcome there, too.

Thank you, Mr. Bevis!

Sorry to tell you that the site has been down for a few weeks. This time it may be down for good. Right now, it looks like the webmaster just got tired of it. The message board members are meeting at www.dkompanie.com/tzworld again (all here are welcome, of course), and we may set up another board sometime in the future, who knows?
