So I've got a plan on how to get a 150,000 extra Browncoats.

FOR GODS SAKE, USE YOUR HEADS PEOPLE.
When I said 'Post the same topic over and over', it's clear that what I mean is to post the same topic, on many different forums. As in writing one topic explaining Serenity and why we're desperate for it to succeed, and that posting that topic on as many forums as possible.
Also - who said anything about not posting it on the tv/movies forum? OF COURSE you'd post it on there, if you posted it anywhere else it would just get moved there anyway.
I think all you people can't get over the fact that I jokingly said the word 'spam' in my post. JESUS CHRIST.

Well, if you're as charming on the other forums as you are here, I don't see how your plan can fail.
There are places where talking about the movie will succeed (other sci-fi or media forums for example) and places where it won't (say, forums about breast cancer or Care Bears). If you're posting an absolutely irrelevant topic to a forum for the purposes of promotion, that is spam, even if you're not directly profiting from it.
Put it another way, how would feel if someone joined this forum, posted about this amazing new anti-wrinkle cream and repeatedly bumped the post to keep it near the top? It doesn't matter how good the cream is, that's just spamming the forum and we'd hopefully all ignore the product as a point of principle.
Lots of us are already pimping the movie on our other favoured forums so adding your voice to those would be useful. However clogging up random forums elsewhere, particularly when you seem to have difficulty controlling your temper, won't help and will turn people against the movie.

Jimmy, why are you so upset?
Everyone here is just stating their opinion. They aren't personally attacking you. Relax. So some may not like your idea... oh well. Some of them do have very good points in their replies.
I, myself, don't visit other forums besides Firefly/Serenity related ones, so this plan doesn't really apply to me. I'd just be preachin' to the choir.

While I kind of like the idea, if it were done on boards you're already established in, I don't like the idea of invading other peoples forum communities. Many communities don't like people coming in with their first and only post being some sort of advertisement. They won't take much of what you're saying if they have no clue who you are, why you're there, and only have a post count as one. You need to introduce yourself to these communities, become one with them, and share your thoughts and feelings about the movie as they get to know you, that way they take what you say more seriously and don't discard it as useless rambling.
As for the original Poster, I personally don't think you're the man for the job. You're responses are harsh, and for the one post it seems you only read the first line and took it as a flame. I don't want a Browncoat with such a short temper who will respond harshly to peoples opinions out there trying to advertise our movie.
Again, I'm sorry...but personally I don't like your attitude, and don't think you'd be right for the job, and that is my opinion. If you don't like it, say hello to Vera.

What, so now you're threatening to shoot me? Forget this place, this place is nothing like the official Browncoats forum.

So that's one person who decamped here then complained we're just like the official forums then another who complained we're nothing like the official forums.
