Members of the official STAR TREK fan club and subscribers to its Communicator magazine knew something was up when they didn't receive the latest issue several weeks ago. With nothing but silence, it became clear there was trouble with the fan club and its parent Decipher, a customizeable card game company that bought the magazine operation several years ago.
Inside Business reports that waves of layoffs at Decipher and court judgments against it have plagued the company. Owner Warren Holland sold his former 10,000 square foot offices and has yet to fill vendors' orders or fan prizes from recent card game tournaments.
Former editor Larry Nemecek told fans at last weekend's Las Vegas Creation convention that Decipher has stopped publishing but Paramount and Viacom Consumer Products are quickly formulating a rescue for the fan club and Communicator. Writing in, Nemececk says "Paramount will not let the Fan Club and magazine die--forces are zooming along as we speak to get the magazine and club operation going again--good forces, and to have the Fan Cllub and Communicator back better than ever, especially with the 40th anniversary of STAR TREK next year."
He says despite recent shake ups at Viacom and Paramount, the company is committed to restarting the publication and is taking steps to do so.
"I also expect that Paramount (who as you may know from the news is itself amid the big Viacom split happening now, affecting STAR TREK and many arms like video, online, licensing, etc.) will be insisting that the next incarnation will be in experienced hands, with a return to a more accessible payment and customer service attitude. I would bet we'll also see new and returning member bonuses, including online components."
