I am picturing a new Firefly thread with hardly any posts in it just sitting there forlornly, and it's a sad thought. I'd rather just close it and let the discussion move.

I'm fine with closing Firefly.

I thought rolling it in with Buffy and Angel might be an idea, but I can see lots of reasons why not, and Minearverse makes more sense (I think), and yeah, it's probably best to just let it happen wherever.

I want a dedicated place for Firefly discussion, especially since there are so many poeple here who don't like the show and don't want the discussion cropping up anywhere else. But I don't want a thread to sit there unused. I... don't know what I want.

What Sean said.

I am picturing a new Firefly thread with hardly any posts in it just sitting there forlornly, and it's a sad thought. I'd rather just close it and let the discussion move.

As I mentioned in Firefly, the thread has not been particularly forlorn, at least as judged by number of posts in the last year. There are many threads here with less in the way of recent activity. It's possible that the last words have been said now and there will be no future discussion. But it will be hard to find out without a thread.

I feel that given the slow pace of the thread over the past year, it's probably best to just let the thread close as normal and have any discussion that follows crop up in Minearverse. If the subject gets a sudden influx of posting, then maybe the possibility of another dedicated thread should be raised in response—but honestly, I don't see that happening.

I propose that we close the dedicated Firefly thread and continue our discussions in the Minearverse thread.

I would amend this to closing the thread when it reaches the post limit.

I don't really see enough discussion to justify a new thread, but I don't feel all that strongly either way.

Assuming we close the Firefly thread when it reaches the post limit:

Why not add Firefly to the Minearverse slug, to complement the mentions of Wonderfalls, the Inside, and Drive that are already there?

I've been dark grey and b.org for a while, partially because Natter and Bitches just take too much time for me right now. I love having places like Firefly because the traffic is slow enough that I can keep up. And while conversation has slowed since the BDM, it certainly hasn't stopped. I understand that this is not all about me, but the Firefly thread is very important to me and I would really, really like to renew it.

How much more is there to say?

no.

It is open for any fan to join, right?

I am a late comer to Firefly, well after the show was canceled, actually, with the release of the movie. I know I'm not the last. I am of the group that LOVES this show, so my vote is obvious to keep a thread alive.

But what about new fans that join the ranks of B.org? Should they plow through a ton of posts on other stuff for the diamond in the rough of Firefly? It's nice to have a thread to say "OMG, I just saw Shindig and that dress is awesome" which could get someone else to link where they had one made, or some such. As a new user, the site has a TON of threads, and it's a little intimidating as to where to post, and if it's ok to post there (see my "Hi I'm new here" post in Sunnydale that was almost deemed Natter and deleted).

A Firefly thread is great. So what that it has a slow use. Does it cost extra? If your not a fan, don't subscribe. How many of us go to the home page and look at all the threads. I would venture to guess most of us have Message Center bookmarked. And how much of a joy is it to see pixels of a new fan, and reinvigorate the joy that is Firefly?

Tho I still consider myself new to this board. I would like to vote to keep a Firefly thread.
