Well this 
sucks. I just got there too like FollowMal did.
There are a ton of members on the site too. Damn does this wanna make me 
. I figure a bunch will head this way to our home, and I'll welcome all of them with open arms, but I gotta say 
Universal.
It makes me 
that no matter what we do, these people ignore it. I mean, the movie just came out on DVD and it's been on top ever since, even on Amazon was it on top with the pre-orders. All of us have this passion for it for sake and our ranks increase. I just hope that there's a greater plan in the works and we just don't see it yet.

Got an idea. We could invite the whole cast (and especially NF) to consider this their home. Does anyone know how to contact them/

Adam, Chris Buchanan and Greg Edmondson still post and Nathan still lurks at the OB. Joss posts at Whedonesque. Summer posts occasionally at her UK site and Jewel has her blog.
I don't know if Morena posts at her site and Ron claims to not own a computer. :) Gina has a fabulous site, but I don't think she posts regularly. I have never seen Sean or Alan post anywhere, but maybe I haven't been looking.

well this is discouraging, the e-mail I got said Jan 6th, but the blog at the Universal home page says Jan 3rd:

FloralBunny: Joss still posts at Whedonesque:

but Nathan doesn't....he used to lurk here, at the old OB
(where Adam still posts regularly):

I worry that this indicates some lack of faith on Universal's part,
but we do have this wonderful site,
and we have Joss...who'll keep up the love with the comics
and hopefully some nice novelizations...
**********************************************
watch the R. Tam Session vids: http://www.hittarivertam.nu/
and buy the 'Serenity' comics published by Dark Horse,
and have you joined the Browncoats yet?

Thank you, Embers. That's useful.
We could beg Universal to keep the board up (offer sexual favors?) but of course shutting it down undoubtedly saves them precious dollars, so there's no real expectation they'd cooperate.
It's more fun here, anyway.
("Nice novelizations" is an oxymoron in my book.
Heh.)
Off now to buy DVDs and a book, I think.

embers please edit your original post subject and put 3rd in it. You may have to edit and save it twice to get it to show up on the home page.
I did not get the email you refer to and I got the other email from Serenity Leader about the DVD release.

Browncoats to Close 01.03.06
Posted by: on Dec 29, 2005 04:12pm EST
Sadly, the time has come for this site to close down. We have been through a lot together over the past year and a half, and it is with great sadness that I post this message. Please redeem all of your points in the store if you have not already, as they will do you no good after the site closes down. Gossi has set up a near identical forum at http://serenitymovie.org, so The Browncoats will continue there. Thanks to each and every one of you for making this site, and Serenity such a huge success.
Keep Flyin’!

Thank you Serenity Leader!
Thank you Gossi!!!

Geez! I joined, what? Two weeks ago?
*sigh*
I like it here better, but it was a great resource, and how many members don't know about us over here? Or about Gossi's new site?
Thank you once more, Haken, for making this the coolest place in the 'verse!

Alright, people time for a pistol blazen charge here. Yeah I like FFF.net to and only one I'm signed up with at moment, but nan da yo, kocchi cho baka da yo!!! (For those that didn't catch it basically WTF in Japanese) Here we are losing another nice big shiny advertising place not to mention all the fans that have signed on with this one. Yes there are other sites, but your screwing with the support and it dosn't make sense. Instead leave it how it is. I'm sure other people could take over managing the site or at least help in the chore. majiF'en de!!! Its reasons like this that had us shaken our heads when Capt ordered us to charge the damn cannons (Sorry Mal, diff Capt) Well there is my 2 cents. mata, Ookami yori
Time for some flanken moves to dislodge these here Alliance boys!!!

Way ahead of you, ncbrowncoat.
At the Flanvention, I personally handed the BDHs their 13th Independent Airborne Gosling badges. In case you don't know what that means, some of us frequent chatters at The Juggled Gosling (as we've come to dub the chat room in this site) have a sort of crew. Membership is randomly assigned, and now the BDHs are members too. One hopes that they will start coming here to post more often...
And as for FFF.net being here, well, some of the BDHs said this back at Dragon*Con:

That good enough for ya?

Just got my e-mail from there and posted my goodbye. *sulk*.
Seems rather quick to scuttle the site , after the DVD just reached No.1 and all. FFF.net is still my primo site, but I enjoyed the 'versal board, as well.
On the lighter side, I just saw another SERENITY sig on one of the other non FF boards I frequent. Oh, and ran into a few more Browncoats while playing Halo2 Live.
So, with the bad, there's also some good. I guess Seinfeld was right after all....it all evens out. heh heh.
