Here's the problem: I am not sure we HAVE a lot of time. How long is the original cast going to hold out before they take other projects? How long is Joss going to keep trying to get this back on the air before he is involved in other stuff?

I'm just thinking, this can't take 10 years or we are gonna have "Firefly: The Retirement Years"!

I wish there was a way to know if what we are doing is even possible. I know nothing about Holly-weird and how this whole TV thing works. All I know is they keep canceling my favorite shows.

How do we know if anything we are doing is having any impact?

Short answer - we really don't.

However, as Sheperd Book told Mal "Believe in something". I choose to believe that we can make a difference and so will keep trying things that I think up and things that others think up as well.

Just FYI, the only way to get a thread to stop showing up on the front page when people post to it is to move it to 'troll country'. Sometimes mods will do this even if there isn't any trollish behavior if the thread is out of date, has inaccurate or misleading information, etc.

Just didn't want you to assume the mod(s) thought you were a troll.

i feel your pain. i started watching firefly when sci-fi aired it promoting serenity and was instantly hooked. i didnt find out until, oh... a week ago that the show was cancelled going on two years ago.

i watch about 4 hours of tv a week and firefly was one of the shows i couldnt wait to see. i sure hope they start the show up again. i need some closure. mal and inara, zoe minus wash, rain without the psychoness, jayne... just being jayne :)

maybe sci-fi will pick it up from fox or something. they have a way with things like that (sg-1, battlestar gallactica, tremors, etc...). you know they have a firefly bulletin board too right? if anyone can bring it back they can.

anyways... just had to comment. i dont think you will ever raise enough money to bring it back just for the simple reason that most people have never heard of it or seen the show. and youre not going to get money from but about .01% of the ones that have seen it. i think the best bet is to buy the dvd's. loan them to your friends, post on the sci-fi bulletin board a bit and cross your fingers.

funny though. i read this board and im sort of creeped out at all the people that cant face the fact that firefly has been cancelled and isnt coming back. then i realize - im one of them lol. please bring back firefly, please please please.

Even if you are right (everyone is allowed to have an opinion), what system would you use to accept international donations? Credit cards are not common there.

It's true; outside of America people pay for goods and services with twigs and muddied leaves.

I personally pay Amazon.com with wolf pelts from my hunting trips.

Though I would imagine International Money Orders would be acceptable for donating.

Talk 'bout what? If you're looking to work towards the return of Firefly in a legitimate fashion (and the closing of your website indicated to me that you are) I'm willing to assist as I can.

Actually, we mostly use these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debit_card

Quote: In Germany and Belgium, many merchants, including most supermarkets, do not accept credit cards because of the higher fees charged by their banks. However, most merchants usually accept debit cards, because the fees for accepting them are much lower, for example in Germany 0.3% with a minimum of €0.08.

Um, that just means not everyone accepts credit cards, it doesn't mean that people in Germany and Belgium do not use them or do not have them. (And I've never had a problem using mine when i'm there)

A very large part of "there" (as in "Credit cards are not common there"), and certainly the parts of "there" which are likely to be interested in donating money to the cause, are as credit-card-crazy as the US.

I know I am!
