Fox's Drive messageboard is now up and has way cooler colors than the OB.
I still hate that message format. I hated it for Firefly and Kitchen Confidential. Still not liking it for Drive.
But the video is making up for my board crabbiness. And hey -- it is better than Booster's site. It loads, after all.
A victory for long term memory (and computing at 6am): I remembered my prospero login details from back when The Inside was on.
...Now I just have to remember how to navigate it.
There is a cute little video of Tim introducing the series at the bottom of this page
cute is definitely the word i'd use. "so it's, like, a mini...van."

Oh, my word, yes. I can't navigate it to save my life. I tried posting at the Fox board for
Firefly,
when it was brand new, but I couldn't take to the format well enough to bother sticking around. I seem to remember a Bronzer concocted mandate about filling it with good conversation.
It seems to me we got the tip-off at the Beta, or in e-mail, to go try out the original
Firefly
board. Did that actually happen, Monique, or did we just find it early?
(I clearly remember finding UPN's thing they called
The Bronze
[despite my best efforts to the contrary], and I might be conflating memories.
Tim's video is adorkable. They even made the little "ting" sound-effect, after his smile in the final shot. Ben Queen looks to be approximately 7 years old, and much too young to be a co-creator of anything but an awesome backyard fort.

It really is. FAQWife didn't think she'd watch, but after seeing the video, I think she's sold.
I don't understand -- what's different about the format? It's still threaded with X posts per page. You mean because of the sidebar?
The colors are eye-twisting, but that's a different problem.
There's just something about the Prospero boards that I've always found awkward. I don't find it as user-friendly as the other types of forums I've used.
just watched video. I (heart) Brian Bloom ever since he was on As the World Turns.
I can't tell if I'm seeing all the pages, or what threads are available. I'm never quite certain where I am. I like more linear-leaning threaded, like this board and TWoP.
