Don't loose faith. There was a recent dramatic event (i.e., movie) that shook everyone up, and everyone had strong and different reactions. Soon those high emotions will cool down. It already is a lot better than it was.
In the meantime, if you don't want to encounter a single nother thread about "Wash's death suxxors. No, you suck!", then hang out elsewhere than the general discussion board. You're guaranteed none of that in the buffyverse forum and so on.
But I think here it already is simmering down. There are fun threads to play in, and you can avoid the still-angsty threads. They'll go away.

Like others have said, just wait it out, it'll pass. Similar things have happened on Buffyverse boards in the past and they always died down in a few weeks or so.
Let's just be glad we haven't had a character war. :shudder: Those are ten times worse than even this painful division.

Yeah, that's getting very old for me too, but it will calm down, is already. In the meantime we need more positive threads with interesting topics to offset the dead pilot blues that's being played so loudly from so many speakers. Bum Bum Ba Dum!
I'm missing some of the old voices as well. There are some very quiet, probably lurking old timers I'd like to hear from soon. Hint. Unless they all went to a tropical island where Serenity is playing at a drive-in, in which case I'm very envious and wish I had de-cloaked months ago so I might have been invited.
Oooooh! Shiny Trees! Yavanna made shiny trees!

"The Random Elves of Chocolate Land" (apogees to Doug)
The elves of Pixietex were transported to the Land of Chocolate by way of a freak website accident when each of them simultaneously pushed "post my reply" on a reply containing the word "chocolate".
The speed of light was brought into play by this seemingly random act (photons being notoriously mischievous and slippery fellows), when the resulting combination of 1s and 0s dialed the unpublished cell phone number of the local deity. Always a fan of any joke with the punchline "chaos", it created The Land of Chocolate in the twinkling of its eye.

Yes...it does seem to be a problem of the sort at the moment.
I don't know why I do it...I hate them, but I just can't stop myself. When I see a thread thats bitcing about you-know-what...I just can't help going in there. Even though I know it'll piss me off.
Some of you may have seen, I was involved in a little spat in a thread yesterday.
I shouldnt have gotten involved...shouldn't have replied...shouldnt even have opened the thread. But I did.
Anyway, I have now made a promise to myself not to go near any bitching threads. I shall just let them fall off the page.
Well thats the plan anyway.

Heck, look at me....
I joined the board when 95% of the front page was WASH!!!!!!! (spinelsss crying, whining, and gurking) GAH!!!!
I managed to find the other 5%, because Firefly (and Serenity) are just that gorram good. Hell, I think I enjoyed the movie more than I did the series.
Point is, there's plenty of good feelings and shinyness around here to make up for the asshats.
(I think I've found more reason to post today than ever... not sure why that is.)

I think part of the problem too is the site organization. Unless I am greatly mistaken, it's almost impossible to find threads that haven't been posted on in a while... they just dissapear beyond the "Top 100." This is why we have something like 50 re-posts of the same thread saying the same things that some of us have already heard and discussed. People don't post in categories as much as they should, and those categories get lost in the "Top 10" on the main page. A search function would be cool too... do we have one?
That aside, I do agree with what is being said in this post... I have been getting frustrated about the same thing being bounced around. I'm finding little to talk about on the board that hasn't already been said. I still come though. I'm waiting for definitive news on the DVD and the sequel.

Yep I was there...
Tried to just good naturedly give an alternate view and Troll boys go nuts...
And I can't resist making Trolly dance, it's a flaw in my nature...
Anyway, yeah, down with the bitching all ready!

I confess... I'm a latecomer to this board but I beat the motherload of posters by a week or so. I heard the buzz about firefly and it's offshoot serenity for a good long while, then finally I went and watched the DVD. Watched it 2 days before it aired on SciFi chan.
After doing so, I finally understood what the buzz was all about. In fact, I was more freakishly devoted to it than I ever have been to Star Wars and Star Trek (and I'm olde school on both accounts).
Wish I'd got into it long before then but I'm a latecomer, no doubt about it. No way to change it. I also fit into the category of people who bitch and moan alot about the current state of affairs. I'd have always been that way from day 1 if time had been on my side. Sorry, lost my faith in SciFi a long time ago given the buttsludge coming out of the entertainment industry since forever.
However... I have a one-tracked focus... I want to see the show restored. Just absolutely gotta have more of it, no matter what. To hell with #2 of 3 possible sequels to the show ~ this ain't Star Wars... I wan't the friggin show back on the air, and I will campaign unrelentingly for that one purpose. Whedon needs to say screw hollywood and moviemaking, return to his true calling (Firefly eps).
To that singular purpose I remaind devoted.

No such thing as gravity. The "Earth-that-was" just sucks.

No built in search, but you can use google. Just type:

followed by your search.
