Sounds good, a clear precise new thread is a great idea
also folks once the links are posted all over the net instead of spamming and duplicating posts, add to an already made one keep it on top where folks ahve to take notice, something simple like, I will be attending ______ screening or , I will be attending the Lonestar Shindig (June 23-25) or I'm saying 5 bucks a week to buy dvds on the 23
what we need are positive and informative responses to keep the thread bumped.
Get your local groups active if you are not a member join one, or make one for your area keep them up to date on this project
A central site NEEDS to be made so info can be more easily spread contact the operators of the various boards and alert them to what is going on here, chances are they can make this a news item or make the message more noticeable
Once the site is up we need banners so people have even more chances to see what is starting
Browncoats are the shiniest folks in the 'verse

Some comments/points to debate.
-Of course SOMEONE has to become the PROJECT-LEADER or we will just make a mess.
-In my opinion we should stay focused to the movie. Our target is Universal, and publicity.
Not Fox! We can leave the serie alone, just for that day.
Let's all buy the MOVIE.
A focused, mighty blow is better than many little hits.
-I also was concerned about the reduction of purchases before that day... but come on. I decided I'll go for the HD version, I wouldn't have bought it otherwise.
And, we may act as if nothing was happening... we just have to save a few cents each day :)
-We must be sure that the site (Amazon?) accepts pre-orders even if the item is not currently available. Otherwise we'll miss many, many hits...
-There can be problems with the net. No problem in making a Two-Day event, for me, considering also the time differences for all of us Browncoats in the world.
-A Banner for Firefly-related sites, and a little banner for signatures.... ALL of us will have to use the same, everywhere... EVERYWHERE.
Let's UNITE under a common banner.
We all happen to post in many forums, don't we?
This might work even beyond the idea of the 23 june...
Think about it, how many times you see people's signatures in forums, and pass by?
But suppose you start noticing A LOT of people, in different forums, using the same banner... at last you'd be curious, wouldn't you?
-We must start immediately! 23 june is much too close. So, where's the graphic team, already?

Reporting for duty, Cap'n.
It's not perfect, but it sure is shiny. With some direction or input, I could make a tons of these in various sizes and color schemes. Just say the word!

This is a good idea, it's easy and cheap i could help in this.
Anyone know of any groups in the Bristol, UK area?

That's awesome, Jana!
Great image!
Only note, I think we should have a poll about the name of the "Operation".
Independents Day would be fine, but it may be misinterpreted...
Everyone, toss ideas! I'll try and think something too overnight :)

Re the big banner:
Sexy, darlin! Big, beautiful and most importantly, direct. The only thing I'm thinking is maybe a Serenity logo placed somewhere? Seeing as the emphasis is going to the movie.
Would suggest talking to Maxrimstain/ Kuangzhede/Pizmobeach...they seem to be quite technowise about setting up a site/getting the banner distributed around all the various fangroups?
Anyone volunteering to set the central website?

'Kay, I'm gonna post a new thread with some sort of clarification of what's been discussed here. Apologies in advance if I get it wrong. Or sound like an arse. Just wanted to get people thinkin' about it.

Upon digging further into the successful Family Guy campaigners' strategies, I found this:

Basically more of the same - DVD sales are love, etc. - but... apparently an army of Baby Stewie fans sent *diapers and baby food* to their targeted network exec. I'm thinking, um, *not* taking that particular page out of their book? Heh.
Although I suppose we could all send shotguns...
Erm, so DVD sales then. ;)

ya know i was thinking along the same lines. if there is a way to get the scifi channel to to air the reruns of Firefly, not jst in a marathon but rgularly, people will stummble across the show, fall in love with it and start buying the dvds. enough of that happens then fox or whomever will see there is a market and perhaps new air new episodes.
evrybody get that? has this idea been batted around before? Im a newbie so i'd love some imput. thanks.
oh and sorry about my bad grammer here. its late and im tired.
