You know, they say to never reply to a troll with a good natured post, but it is, on occasion, hilarious.

Hey! I haven't gone trolling for the vicious troll thread PR, but I might have to go see it in all its spiteful glory now. I've been electrocuted a couple of times myself (sorry about the psychic thread CIT). They're hard to resist, but have been boring me to tears lately. Lots of we happy few newbies are sorely lacking in fansite skillz (me for instance), and there are a breathtaking # of "I hated" threads out there.
AURO: You can search by keyword as CIT suggests. Also, if you want to wander around in the records room and read old threads, use the toolbar at the top of the homepage and go to
Community/Threads/General (or category)/ then scroll to the bottom of the Top 100, and you'll find "Read Threads That Have Been Archived". That's the li'bary of all that is. There's some amazing stuff in there. When you have hours to waste that is.

PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T BE UPSET!!! I've only just started having this wicked addiction for a month now and have only been coming to this site for that long...don't let a few negative people spoil it for you!!! I came across a few on here too that did not make me a very happy camper either and because I've never gotten on the net to do anything besides shopping, I was very hurt and angry that (some, rather, only one in particular in my mind)were anything but "becoming"...but I refused to be discouraged!!!! I thought, "There's tons more that are gonna be real cool!" So please, cheer up...the rest of us are awesome and the majority of these people on here are just as well too!!! Wanna have a good laugh?? Go to the Blue Sun Room and read "The Very Secret Diary of Jayne Cobb" by BelacGod...you'll be dying!! And also too, check out my "Gettin Jiggy W/Kaylee"!

I guess this is where I
This is probably just another one of those threads that gets buried (or a "troll" HIJAXng a thredz... all your thredz r belonged to us", BUT...
gonna take u folks to task. Ya you loved firefly before most of us ever heard of it. however, many are being converted to your way of thinking, and your "I was here loving it before you and hence, I am superior" nonproductiveattitude ain't helping.
New recruits bring enthusiasm. Also, a fresh perspective. Frankly, many of us never heard of it cuz we closed off the science fiction genre. How many times can I see a remake of King Kong (rip-off of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's writing ~ please give us another Faye Raye for the masses)?
How many times can I watch a rehash of (or remake if you please) of hollywood fodder? Nothing new, nothing originial, only remakes of crap that's already been done.
I'm waiting for Episode 13, season 3 of Gilligan's Island Next Gen ~ where Gilligan singlehandedly kills off a whole boatload of technologically advanced Polynesian-infiltrating superadvanced space aliens who want to turn humanity into a slave-race/foodsource, rescues his ambiguously gay commander "the loveable bumbling obese 'Skipperrrr', u hammock hamhock u", and then had wild foreshadowed moments of potential nonsex with ginger (played by whomever hollywood decides will be the next big talent). Oh, of course there is "MaryAnne" the virginal purehearted countrygirl who has religion, who soon becomes the high priestess of the enemy, only to be saved by Gilligan (and tempted with gratuitous moments of televised nonsex).
Think I'm kidding? Watch, wait, and see.

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

i'm sorry if i gave the "i was here first" impression because that's not what i meant. it's just that there isn't a fresh perspective, it's just the same retoric on both sides repeated ad nausum.
at first i was really into the debate, and particpated my own self. but i think this pony's been beat to death 7 times over, lets bury it. or at least have 1 thread deciated to said debate. i feel like i'm watching 'bill oreilly the firefly/serenity edition'

Can't we all just get along?? *sniffs, gets out tissue*
I have read many of those negative threads (and I am a newbie) and they have made me angry. However, I have refused to participate in them cuz I could make some of those trolls cry and then I would get evil hate mail. So I think we should all just forget about the negative evilness and have random fun! Check out my random skit in the "signs of joss in BDM" thread. It's in a couple of others too I forget which ones now.

Everybody's makin' a fuss.

XH,
Don't let it get you down. This is still a fun board, the best Firefly/Serenity board in my opinion. It's why I hang out here and barely post anywhere else.
Sure there are a ton of posts about Wash, Book, or How could Joss do that, but we should expect this. The BDM was the emotional roller coaster that Joss promised & this plethora of threads is a result of the movie. There is going to be some anxiety and grief to be expressed, and rather than post in other threads many are going to simply start all new ones. I have all but quit reading or posting in them simply because many are rehashing what has already been discussed many times.
We should encourage these new posters because they are fans just like us. They might be new & not have the mileage on them that some of us do, but we vets owe it to them & the fanbase as a whole to be civil and encourage any and all newcomers to post & discuss. These fans that are posting now will be the ones out there recruiting more fans to expand our little army & help insure some sort of future for Serenity.
I like to have fun too, so let's not take everything else too seriously.
Keep the faith lady, & keep flyin'!

Bwah ha ha ha ha ha. You bust me up, Raptor. I was late seeing the BDM, so I had to aviod the board for a while.
Couldn't say I was surprised, because Joss writes life. In life, people die. It's silly to complain about that sort of thing in a drama/action. In that genre of entertainment, action causes dramatic things to happen. *duh*
