 Yams. Lots and lots of yams. And a Don Lapre benefit concert. Y'know, I haven't a clue what the future holds. But that's sort of the point, isn't it? Provided the Sci-Fi Channel doesn't do much tinkering with [[Caption This!]] (i.e. they leave the screwups to their programming department), I think everything will be fine. Everything will pretty much continue as is. Jokes will be made, laughs will be had -- good times. Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

-[[CT]] will be around for a while, even after the cancellation of MST3K. It gets too many hits a day. "[[CT]]... [[OF THE FUTURE!]]" would have to involve sound. I can't imagine how it could be done effectively, but that would be awesome. Maybe some of you web page designers/computer gurus can come up with one. Possibly you can use .wav files and instead of posting written text below a picture, it would have a link that would play your audio cap. You could then listen to the caps you wanted to, without worrying about having everybody's voice coming over at one time. Just a thought. Send royalties to the address found in my profile.

 Oh yes, I still feel the love -- er, get that community feeling. We all have those two things in common that bond us -- MST3K and a sense of humor. In addition, [[CT]] is the one place we can all go to and be judged, well, basically on our personalities/abilities to be funny, rather than our looks, or our money, or our fame, etc. To quote the great Martha Stewart: "It's a good thing."

 ABSOLUTELY. I have more friends on-line than I do in the meat world. True fact. Pathetic, but true. I suppose it's because we have complementary interests and personalities that draw us to [[CT]] anyway, so I think it makes sense.

 [[CT]] probably won't change much, with the exception of the immediate face of it when they take the MST3K name off of it. What I'd like? Well, being the dreamer that I am, I'd absolutely love a little more attention from SFC. Something like a "caption of the show" during the credits in amongst the commercials from the split screen, or more contests like the one during the last scifi.con. Support like this can bring in more talent, and, to paraphrase the Borg, increase our "perfection."

-Not yet, and maybe it never will. Hell, if it wasn't for the few MST3K images in [[CT]], you could hardly say it was even MST related! The saddening/disappointing/ill thought out/heartbreaking/dooming themselves to burn for eternity in Hell/*stupid* decision to cancel MST3K bewildered me. That show is the only reason I watch the SciFi Channel (The last bastion before total cancellation... should be their slogan) in the first place! Do I still feel the same connection? Hum... I never really thought about it before, but not really. NOT because I don't enjoy the [[CT]] community or the fine bunch of denizens therein. Can't put my finger on it, but doesn't quite feel the same. I never would have found [[CT]] if not for MST in the first place. [[CT]]came up while doing a web search one day in late '97. I've been hooked ever since.
