Ok... by now you've all heard that DS9 is returning to the screen [for those that haven't had it in syndication this entire time I should say]. SpikeTV starts it in April. So my questions are:
Will Flare revive a DS9 forum?
What should we be looking for during this rerun of the series [specifically the tech questions]?
And, is there anything that an uncut DS9 can give us?

Well, first of all, saying that DS9 is returning to the screen (when it is rather returning to RERUNS) is a little misleading. You imply renewal.
To answer your questions:
No. TNG has been on reruns on Spike for years, and do you see an open forum for it?
I don't know about you, but I'm looking for nudie pics of Morn.
You are aware, I hope, that all seven seasons of the best Star Trek series (EVAR!) is available on DVD, in its uncut form. This isn't something new.
Question for you: when is Spike planning on airing our beloved most wonderful show of the not quite so beloved Star Trek franchise?

I'm pretty sure that Spike is showing the DS9 reruns in the evening, in the 7 or 8 PM timeslot currently held by TNG. But I could be wrong about that.
Oh, and don't forget that some people don't have $700 to spend on DVD's...

Uncut as in not missing little snipets for extended commercial breaks like sometimes happens in syndication, I think is what he's talking about.
For instance, two parters frequently lose several minutes of footage when rerun.

Exactly. It's imporntant to see the USS Yeager patrolling around the station at least a dozen times. Love that ship.

At least the DS9 forum would be better than the ENT forum.
And yes, not everyone is capable of forking over that much for a set of DVDs... if I had that much I would continue saving until I got $1200 for a new guitar.

I am constantly confused by US television, but has DS9 not been on over there for the past couple of years at all?
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I know that there are several Canadian channels that show DS9 on a regular basis, although our sci-fi channel doesn't show DS9 in the daily Trek run, though, which is odd. They only show TOS, TNG, and VGR in a run.

DS9, B5, Voyager and Farscape are not being aired in my area at all, unless you happen to have some sort of uber-TV with 6,000 channels. And I'm pissed. Except about Voyager, which sucked. And B5, which I've seen.

I don't think DS9 has been aired here since shortly after it ended. And TNG has been gone since before that, I think. (That's discounting cable, obviously.)

On the local Northern Michigan stations, TNG and then later DS9 (during its 7th season) was run in syndication on NBC at the ungodly hours of 3 or 4am during week, it was eventually replaced by a version of the Home Shopping Network.
As of recently, the last two years I was in college I caught DS9 on Fox at random times after midnight throughout the week or whenever they needed a filler show on the weekends before or after a sporting event.

When I was in college, the local FOX affiliate angered me by playing the early seasons of DS9 out of order. Youd have 3 shows in a row, then they'd skip the one I really wanted to see, then jump 3 shows ahead. I wrote the station and they sent back some letter about contractually only being able to show an episode a certain number times, which made no sense. I missed the two episodes DS9 that I've never seen because of such moronitude.
