I think maybe a vote is the way forward? I'm on the side of no new thread, so long as Firefly talk is welcome elsewhere, but it's not like I'd particularly mind a new thread.

so long as Firefly talk is welcome elsewhere
I can't imagine a situation in which there will *not* be a place for discussions of "Firefly". If/when the "Firefly" thread is closed, the question then, as I see it, will be where it's best to talk about "Firefly" (I agree with those who suggested Minearverse), not if to talk about it at all.
[Edit: signed, spreading the throwing-way-too-large paragraphs custom in every thread possible by now, but started this in the "Firefly" thread, and, yup, it'll always have a special place in my heart, even if only for that reason, but actually, for many more.]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I don't have strong opinions on new FF thread or not, but, yeah, Firefly discussion will always, always be welcome around here.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
In the absence of Minearverse and Other Media, I might feel differently, but as it is, I think it's appropriate to retire the thread at this point.

Yeah, I figured Firefly talk would fit in somewhere, which is why I don't mind saying goodbye to the dedicated thread.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Do we need a formal proposal then?
I propose that we close the dedicated Firefly thread and continue our discussions in the Minearverse thread.
(I really have no opinion one way or t'other.)

All is well that ends in pizza.
I would prefer a dedicated Firefly thread. There was something special to the show and it's always nice to have a place to discuss our latest conversions.
For instance, nearly everyone at our helpdesk has now seen Firefly. It's passing from tech to tech like a virus. Eighteen months ago only two of us had seen it.
Plus? it's beloved enough to have quotes in our header, why not let us post in spurts?
I don't think Minearverse is the proper place. If we must kill the thread, I would suggest including it in Boxed Set, as Minearverse is mostly for his live projects.

Seconded.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I don't think Minearverse makes sense, myself, as Tim does work which merits discussion, and will bury Firefly. Plus, if you want to talk Firefly, you'd have to be keeping current with Miracle Man/Drive/The Inside/Whatever.
