Yeah, I think part of the thing which came out of the voting process for this one is the sense some people had Firefly isn't part of the board -- and I was thinking, if it goes to vote, it's a majority rule. If it wasn't here from the beginning, it doesn't matter, because over time a majority of the posters and voters aren't going to have been here from the beginning anyway. I really do think the proliferation of extra topics is just a sign of a site's base shifting, and that's quite normal growing pains.
Of course, the other aspect is Firefly is this crazy show which won't die, even though it's so very dead right now.
Cattle in space!
How do they breathe in space?
(eye roll to infinity)
Anyway, there's not really any us and them, much as a voting process makes us feel like there is. There really are only Buffistas, with differing opinions. Which is pretty normal for us
Thanks for the clarification Liese. It does makes sense. It wasn't until deep in discussion that someone finally said it wasn't as black and white that I relaxed. (I was still afraid of the vote but relaxed.)
and that's one of the nifty things about this board to me: its community. But I'm one of the shy people at the edge of the cool kids' crowd: there's no way I could keep up with Natter.
Agreed I'm really digging the thread even more. Much love to all's of ya'lls. I'm the opposite of Omnis in that I tend to keep up with Natter first, then Bitches. And it is occasionally weird "floating" amongst people with so much back history but it's more of a testament to the group more than anything. And yeah you see some more prominent than others but that's just life. Though I don't say as much in other bigger boards I'm a big talker irl.
And yeah (heheh) this show just won't go quietly. (Especially in an Alliance friendly bar come U-day!)
um. ah. well. about that. um. Ya. like. I don't go in Natter. NO OFFENSE! It's just. well. I tried to subscribe to all these threads, and I was like "whhoa dude! can't keep up". But I really loved the people. So I decided that it was best to pick a couple threads and try and keep up on them. So, I got about 4 in my Message Center that I check, plus the ones in the right sidebar.
On IMDB somebody is suggesting a hunger strike to get Firefly back.
Possibility for a Darwin award, that one.
Oh wouldn't that be precious if someone died for a cancelled TV show? I mean sure it's Firefly but I picture Bobby Sands punching them in the eye up in heaven.

You should tell them that's what the writers' strike is actually about.
I was gonna tell/remind them only 14% of the world's population has a tap in their own home. But I like that idea better.
I don't go in Natter
Eh there's only so much you can read and catch up on. It's as simple as that really. Some people are just lucky enough to have access during the day for whatever reason and don't have to process all at once. I should probably read Minearverse...but with how much it's probably moving with a new Joss show coming up... and as much as I'd like to know, I can't keep up. Blah
Minearverse has been sidetracked by discussion of the writer's strike recently - just an FYI.
