eh, be glad they are doing something constructive... whether or not the idea was hijacked, its positive that its being done, be glad its already been setup and try and join in and help out.
On the other hand, i t hink you run into the same problem with blogs as you do messageboards, pertinent information can fall to the wayside, and you will again have to dig to find things, a simple website as opposed to a blog with a list of links to current projects might be more useful, I would also check in with the cortex, perhaps yall could work together, it never hurts to have more eyes looking and ears to the ground so less information falls through the cracks.
Good luck and I think a listing of all browncoat projects is a great idea!
Browncoats are the shiniest folks in the 'verse

FollowMal!
Any thoughts about anything existing that your group is doing regarding ArtCats and Sigmanuki's idea?
Want to thank EVERYONE again for all of the bleedin brilliant posts. I go through these at the end of the day and take notes. Plus have been doing a massive amount of email with some of you off the thread.
I love it!

Anduine,
The Browncoat Signal Corps website does list the current projects as they go out posted by our crew. You can find that on the page under Pre_Written Posts.
It also has information currently up about the charities that are ongoing, although there isn't a page yet for the screenings, although there soon will be.
Our site is Corps based rather than info based, but it is there.
http://www.geocities.com/browncoatsignalcorps/index.htm
Our method of delivering current guerilla marketing messages to the entire fandom isn't fool proof, but it's served.
There is also the forum on www.serenitymovie.org for our Irregulars crew. Any and all are welcome to join and a list of TDBrown's and crews current projects + fun to be had are there.
You can find that at:
http://www.serenitymovie.org/browncoats/forums/index.php?showforum=41
You will have to be a member of the Browncoat Board to participate, and ask for membership on the team- ( a given! ) but you can see ongoing projects without being a member of the Irregulars.
There is of course word of mouth within the fandom, there is the guerilla marketing section of this board + news sections on practically every board in the fandom. There are two podcasts, and the Cortex.
It seems like when you arrive here that we're huge, there must be thousands of us and there are, literally in numbers there are thousands of us, but the amount of people physically active on the boards and particularly active within the realm of guerilla marketing is small.
As 11th Hour said so aptly in her post above...

Doin' is harder, takes more work and time than just postin'.
If joining up with current projects or folding these ideas into current projects won't do in your opinion....there are some real good suggestions in her above post about how to proceed.
She suggests above that the really good ideas be broken down into their own threads here and then folks can volunteer to actually do them.
You'll need teams, you'll need coordination, you'll need dedication and lots of hours.
You'll need complete focus.
I'm all for anything that promotes the 'Verse as long as it's positive and not negative activity.
I know you folks feel a real need to rush, hurry, get the job done, NOW, and that enthusiasm is a wonderment and most welcome.
But be honorable and give credit where it's due and let's pool ALL our resources together. We are mighty if we're together, we're fractured and ineffective if we divide our energy.

Actually, not too productive. Doing such things, as FM points out is an action that fractures our community. In all honesty, can we really trust that RiverRunsDeep won't steal other ideas? Especially since this is his/her /first/ week here.
(S)he has decided to not be part of the group and usurp ideas. That is very dangerous behaviour for the community. I really don't think that this should be taken lightly as in some circles it's called plagiarism.
It looks more like (s)he is going for personal glory and/or status in the community than actually helping out. At least that's my opinion and IMO the evidence supports it. Personally, I'm putting RiverRunsDeep on my "gone to the bad place" list.

Well, it wouldn't be just a blog. That, as you point out, would be rather limited. But, I'm going to discuss off thread with Anduine for a little bit. Once we develop something and we will get back to everyone here.
EDIT: I just re-read the last little bit here and I think it comes off rather different than intended. By bolding "we", I was just trying to get across the whole teamwork thing. NOT trying to shut anyone out like could have been inferred.

Sig, if Penguin and I can be of help, please don't hesitate to ask.
Otherwise, I look forward to what you guys come up with!

This thread is way too long to read. Get a webpage in the first post that links to an updated explanation of your plan.
Though I don't really think some 4 day old member should be coming in here ripping on everyone who's exhausted from fighting the good fight from day one.

For what it's worth (and if this is what's going on), I agree wholeheatedly.
As to the original idea, I had the impression it was meant more to be an easy to access summary rather than a blog? Perhaps a one page (cool looking) list that provides names and direct links to each group that is currently engaged in guerilla marketing, or other fan related activities.
There could be a brief description, with a dated status post to show what is currently happening with that group/activity. Then people can click on the section to go into a new page to get more detailed info if they are interested in participating.
Just some thoughts.

i really like the put an ad in your local paper
but i really don't know what it would say your it be like a look out for the special edition of serenity kind of thing cause thats something small that we could all do. and about a unified site would it be a site like this but maybe a site where people post there emails so if someone wants to talk to all of us they could but we could only email everyone for like rallying not talking
