We have been up and down so much in this quest that we just expect everything to look bad and then turn around in a way that amazes all the doubters. Miracles are routine for this bunch.

Numbers are beginning to damage my calm. Then I come around here and remember that, yeah, Firefly is the thing that defies all reason, and that's sort of why I love it.
Pass that bottle, will ya?

Oh, dear. I've been posting on both. Nobody ever told me it was one or 'tother.

Whose job was it to tell me?

Is it too late to decide?

No, no! Not one or the other. I definitely prefer FFF (shout out to Haken), but I haunt both. I have, though, notice a certain difference in tone between the two. The O-Board seems...I don't know...more fanboy-ish. Folk here seem to be more of the feet-on-the-ground type, not so much obsessive as dedicated. I must confess that the numbers do worry me, but I also have my history with the 'verse to reassure me. Of all the folks I've tried to convert, only one would up not taking to it. On opening night we had a mini-shindig (watched Serenity parts I and II, then went to the BDM). We had one FF virgin, and now she's a dedicated Browncoat. I guess that's what we have to hope for. Don't know if you noticed, but the FF box set is at #2 in Amazon's DVD again. That means that folk who were never exposed to the 'verse are watching the BDM, then buying the series. All we have to do is have faith in Joss' vision and be the footsoldiers for his cause. Get out there and spread the word, go to the movie, drag your friends/relatives/acquaintances, and just keep flying! The fact that we got Serenity to the silver screen means we've done the impossible, and, well--you know the rest. As been's said elsewhere--we hold.

I signed up on the OB to check it out, as I was all twitchy with FFF.net doing the yo-yo and all.

A bit more fanboyish and obsessive over there, but a good bunch. I did feel like I was being watched by Blue Sun, as obviously it is a commercial site. (Yay, Universal! )

It feels more laid back here.

I'll just go watch the BDM a few more times...

Good thing to have servers in Hawaii. Arguably the best waves on the planet!

I'll stop (for) now.

Nah, nah, nah.. Them servers are in Australia actually, and the waves are much better down under...

Felt the server bounce and go yo-yo, did ya? Haken *really* needs newer equipment, the stuff fff.net is running on is *really* outdated and can't really handle this kind of load... Think about how much you've missed the site when you needed it and chip in a few. Hel Haken get newer equipment and you are really helping yourselves and all the fans.

Given the freedom to do so, anarchy will result in an organic organization unto itself.

The server blew a catalyzer and we're worried about usin' up all the air.
