Rob Cooper told Gateworld that it's not time to give up hope yet. They're still exploring options, among them is switching to a different station or network. And for those of you new to the fandom, remember that Stargate: SG-1 has been cancelled at least once before; that's why the show is now on Sci-Fi instead of Showtime where it started out. If they can't find another network, they'll try and do something else. (E.g. a movie, miniseries, new series, etc.)
How Fans can Help:
Watch SG-1 live in its first run. That is, if you live in America, watch it in its early time slot on Sci-Fi. Ask everyone you know to do it to. It'll be a lot easier to get someone interested in the project if the ratings pick up or at least stay constant.
I also can't help but think of the letter-writing campaign that saved the original Star Trek for a third season, though I don't know who to write to. Sci-Fi has already announced they're cancelling SG-1, and both MGM and the SG-1 producers want to find someplace for their show.
BTW, keep in mind that several of the key players already had contracts signed for the next season. That might mean that Sci-Fi could be persuaded to change its mind; it might make taking the series on more attractive to a new network. What it means for sure is that everyone on the show side of things is committed to making it work somehow.
