Later, if they actually demonstrate they can sustain the numbers and only if we can't...

Damn those trolls, damn them to Hades. They're giving the Xenites great propaganda.

Oh, they're going to the special hell...

Although, when it comes to trolls, we seem to have nailed them down to a handful of truly persistent ones, and we seem to be getting better at ignoring them.

I find it interesting to see so many new names on this thread (and when I say new, I mean since I last actively participated...the 76th are keeping me a bit busy)

The numbers of active voters (thanks to Flyvote you beautiful person) has soared during the past few months.

When I started voting (October last year), we were always discussing how to get more people involved. And it seems to have worked.

I try not to get discouraged when I see Xena's votes because they have been doing this (voting) for much longer than we have. During that time, I'm sure they have been able to reach many more fans than we have.

We just need to keep on convincing more and more Browncoats that this is worthwhile and fun.

Now for a bit of wishful thinking.... Wouldn't it be great if we could get Haken to compile a mailing list of all the registered members on this site, so we can send out an e-mail to every member requesting assistance?

One e-mail. One voting day. One major push and victory would be ours!

Wouldn't it be great if we can win at least one war?

Well, that was a very short retirement We had 1518 votes yesterday and since many decided they wanted to try for the goal of 500,000, I'm baaaack!

I understand one of the fan posters over at the FF site flamed Xena and followers. Seems the only fans Xena has are connected to an underground Lesbian faction. The show really sucked and it was stupid, lame, absurd with bad acting, bad history, bad everything. He said it had to be on Lesbian web sites all over the world...not just Xena fandom. And to quote "I don't recall Xena generating any huge numbers in ratings when it was on TV, but over time the Gay coalition really held this show close to their bosom, especially that young stick-wielding blonde sidekick...if so, we are hopelessly outnumbered" . I think he is pretty funny, actually.

Hopefully that is only one opinion over there...not a nice thing to say about our show and our girls, the acting part that is.

Firefly is at 211,964 with 1681 votes turned in yesterday. We are still 56,746 votes ahead of them. I understand their goal is to become number one since we showed them up in the 2000 daily vote game, and they feel our votes are now going to drop since we no longer have a goal

Folks,
Let's face it, the Xenites are determine to take what is said here, even if by a tiny minority, and use it for fuel.
I've said it before, I'll say it again; we need to work to our best and simply ignore what the Xenites might say of us. The only thing we can do that will affect their voting levels is to roll over and die. If we did, they might slow down their votes...until Bonanza or some some other series gets going.

Any of you who think Xena is going to roll over if we get close; and trust me, the Xena fans perceive us as close or they would not be "getting out the vote", they will fight to the end. Look at Bonanza... they did not roll over when we got close; they have an active fan base and pulled together. Did we scrape by, yes. Are Bonanza fans still pushing out near record numbers for the show? Yes. Do I expect them to drop back? Maybe... slowly or not.
Same with Xena,but multiply it times 2 or 3. They have a huge, dedicated fan base. -Someone- amongst them will always get inspired to keep the top spot. They will find a new goal, set it, pursue it vigorously. We can do no less.

Xena Fans:
To be clear; I respect your appreciation of your show. It happens to not be my cup of tea. Be clear on this, we intend to compete to the end. Someone once said, "May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."

It discusses it yes: in mostly disparaging terms. Let's not forget: Firefly is the red-headed step-child of the Jossverse. Hell's bells: Buffy and Angel took place in the saem putative universe. We're the odd man out. Interestingly, they mostly say Firefly wasn't that good. So I'm thinking we're not going to get any love from them. (Though I take small consolation in the fact that we're number two.)
