Yeah, but youtube is such a crappy lowres non standard format. Besides, there are many people I might get to watch the series, but who would never watch youtube.

How about posting them in high res(dvd?) format at least once to the binary newsgroups - that way no storage is required, and I'm sure someone would pick up the ball and run with it.



Sorry, I meant myspace page. Not enough coffee yet.

Can you provide more information about this? I know not of which you speak. Background and links would be very helpful!

Actually, just get them all together and make a Torrent file out of them, then post the torrent. It will take up a little of whoever's hosting's bandwidth, and then people can seed them on their own.

Sounds cool, whatever that means.

Define for me: seed, torrent, and who hosts these things?

Kids, I assume all these are great suggestions, but you're talking to someone who doesn't know how to do what you are suggesting. Any clarification or a volunteer to coordinate would be very helpful.

Totally random trivia here, but I was pleased to note that our winners split down the middle along gender lines: 2 men and 2 women. We have a pretty balanced 'verse.

That's all. Just thought it was neat.

Oh, yeah.. burn a CD of these and then show them, non-stop til you get to the point of showing the show or movie after the shindig meal!

Great idea, Kurya!

Or, if you have friends who are unsure of coming, and you described the show to them and you got a blank stare, just sent them these shiny clips!
Prakash
PS
Burning onto CD's is also a cool idea. I know it was thought of i nthe past to make trailers of the movie etc burn them to cds or dvds, and hand them out or leave them in public spaces.. but there was some reservations whether they would be thrown out or not.

*bump* I think more people should see them, and show them to new folks etc to help them get hookd. Is there anyway to have these linked on a central page or something? How about linking these winning trailers to the front page of fff.net? Can that be set up?
Prakash

ETA: I realize on Youtube, you can create a group , so if we can link all the episode trailers and the serenit ytrailr and overview to one group, then it would be easier to send a link to that group(the address would be relatively easy to remember)... watchya think?
