I have been a member of this site for three and a half years. I agree with Bejeweled that there have been numerous shifts in the community dynamic.

Although, I have embraced these changes and find that there is always something interesting and new around the corner.

There have been numerous gimmicks on this site in the past. Does anyone recall the church sign generator, or the motivational poster craze? These were mainly based in the Blue Sun room, but there was always a constant flow due to their popularity.

I recall the Muppet Firefly craze (of which I took part in), and that was thread based. It generated a lot of interest.

Do we need three caption games on this site? Do we need various factions or role playing threads, that discuss things in an ongoing manner? Do we need alphabet games or Firefly hangman? Do we need threads that vent frustration, when they could easily be placed in a blog? Do we need blogs?

The answer to all of these things is yes. We live in a society of supply and demand. Variety is the norm. It brings people together. Life would be boring if we all wore the same clothing, drove the same cars or owned the same tvs. The same applies to the content on the internet.

With regards to photos, I recall a Browncoat photo gallery that was separate to this site. Although, it has since been taken down.

It is cool to put a face to a username.

Welcome to our site. We are glad you are here. We have all at one time or another "vented" and there are petty arguments all the time. Thats what family does.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion as is everyone, but I have to repeat what is already being said - if you don't want to see the pictures, don't go into that thread.

I do not read everythread there is. I am sure many do not, but I enjoy seeing who I am speaking to - it makes it more human I think.

Anyway, again we are glad you joined us! Stick around and join in the fun!

Any minute now this thread is going to get claimed by one of our clans...who will it be.


Hmmm...maybe I should start a betting pool. $5 buy-in sound good?

I heart PhoenixRose.

I like the pics. Gotta have something to fill the gap on a forum of a show that is off the air.

What a rude post, for no other reason than to be rude. And this, coming from a guy that probably 30 people in here don't like very much because of my political views.

Browncoats are good people and most in here are so nice that they're going to welcome you with open arms even though your first post was more than trollish. So, out of respect for my fellow Browncoats, I will refrain from ripping into you and saying what I really think.

I fart in your general direction.

BTW... hope you like my sig pic, cause if you stick around, you're going to see a hell of a lot of it. Yes. I am beautiful and I love myself. Don't be a hater.

I'd completely forgotten about the gallery. Maybe we should bring it back?

I don't know why there are so many pics, but I will say that I love 'em. They are hilarious. Nothing better than a bunch of narcissists playing dress-up....I always thought that was reserved for children, I have been proven wrong, so there is an educational value to it. The comedic value is bar none..........
