I tried to join on the website but they're referring to a form containing groups and there's no form there.

There's also an e-mail address which links to a yahoo page saying the page I'm looking for doesn't exist.

I'd like to get involved with this.

(In addition to the "Regulators" of course



It was indeed a good idea, Canter.
We can all thank Kaele for having it last year and thank Zisker for implementing it for the Serenity Day crew then turning it over to me and Silence after they were done with their campaign. We added crews and sites and expanded it, but we'd not have what we have without those two phenomenal ladies.

I went to the site and looked to be sure that our join page is working properly. The form is there, you just have to scroll down. When you push submit, it prompts your default mail to send it as an email to the browncoatsignalcorps@yahoo.com address. I'll answer if I see it come thru.

Here's the join page:
http://www.geocities.com/browncoatsignalcorps/join.html
Just scroll down and you'll see it.

Our email address looks as if it's not working... Redhead wrote me a letter to inform me that it wasn't but when I submitted a test email, it DID go thru, it just brings up an error page at yahoo.
I have informed our webmaster and also written yahoo in case it's a glitch.

I'll receive anything you send me, I've tested it several times. So please try again.

I don't know what to tell you, FM.
When I go on that site there's no list of yahoogroups, alphabetical or otherwise. So where do I cut and paste the groups I'm interested in adopting? Does this mean that there are no groups available?

(I made screenshots of what it looks like to me, but can't seem to link it to this today.
I'll try to send it through e-mail to the listed e-mail address)

I did submit a form, though It just won't contain anything much.

I'm so sorry, Canter, I misunderstood what you said.

There are indeed no groups listed because there aren't any available at this time or on the site.

Really ( they're just not up there yet ) there may indeed be some available as we're getting ready to make sure our teams have everyone covered and there isn't anyone wishing to quit being a volunteer.

If there are any folks needing to quit, we'll have a list for you.

Is there a group you belong to or know of that you'd like to see if you could be the team member for?

Yes, we can.

And we'd be happy to.

Would you like to write it?

Hello! I am new to the board, but not the 'verse:)....so, please be gentle w/ me! I just got and watched "Done The Impossible", and am COMMITTED to doing what I can to bring another Serenity to the screen....so, I am available to whoever needs support.

That being said, I can appreciate that so many people have given so much to keep this cause in the air, and I would just like to offer a little observation....it seems like there are SO MANY sites/threads...I know it's been mentioned, but I thought someone up-thread mentioned a BRAND NEW site, just for this project. I think that's a great idea, to be tied in with the release of the new DVD Set. Everything distributed (and all media communications) should have that one web-
site as the contact point.
I don't know if anyone has seen the massive fan campaign for (cancelled) Jericho, but the fans are mailing tins of nuts to the studio....I propose a letter writing campaign, but of a very short duration, that has ALL the letters/cards arriving @ Universal on the days surrounding the DVD release date.
I think a massive media hit/fan outcry, coupled with huge DVD sales may get their attention!
Also, I read somewhere that the deadline for a greenlight on SERENITY II was in September '07....would the proximity to the August DVD release be helpful, or not leave enough time? Thanks for listening. Feedback?

Here's something that was done quite well in 2002 from a group called SOS (Save our Sentinel) when it was canceled on SciFi channel. I've copied it here for everyones FYI.

But just to let people know, miracles can happen. EVERYONE NEEDS to get behind the letter writing campaigns that are out there.
--------------------------------------

September 20, 2002
One of us subscribes to an online newsletter called The Sci Fi Guys( http://www.scifiguys.com/index.jsp). They ask a
question each issue that they want folks to write in about and they publish some answers in the next issue.

The current question: "What cancelled series would you like to see brought back?"

AND the Tribe made its voice known big time!! "The Sentinel" is one of only two such series featured in their latest newsletter, and the letter chosen to represent the fandom's voice was from one of your very own SOS sibs - ta dah!

EDITOR: All I can say is, "Holy Cow!" Our question found its way to a Sentinel fan list and we got flooded. Again, many sent in excellent letters and it was hard to pick the one to carry the banner

There you have it, sibs. SOS will forward the news-letter to Bonnie Hammer with a "Heads up, Sci Fi Channel! Demand for 'The Sentinel' is still out there, and we want our show back!" And...this MIGHT just be a good time for such a push.

Back in July, Chris Regina, Sci-Fi's Programming Director told SOS that there were "no current plans" to put TS back on the schedule. Yet barely a month later, he was quoted on SciFi.com's Bulletin Board as saying yes, TS would be back in the fall or in January. SOS called Regina and confirmed the quote. He further stated that it "would most likely be back in January". Yeah, we've heard this before - but this IS a change from Chris's July's comments! Hopeful? Maybe - and we say, jump on it! Take the man at his word and send a couple of emails to the Sci-Fi Channel at:

program@www.scifi.com

AND

feedback@www.scifi.com

Remember, too, that hard-copy has as much, if not more impact than e-mail. Splurge on a stamp and send a postcard or letter to Chris Regina, and/or President

Bonnie Hammer at:

The Sci Fi Channel
1230 Ave. of the Americas
New York, NY 10020-1513

Call Sci Fi at 212-413-5000, ask for the Comments Hotline, and give 'em some comments! ASK if it's true TS will be back in Jan. TELL them we want it back!!

May we suggest that, once you've written to /emailed /phoned the Sci Fi Channel to agitate for the return of "The Sentinel"...you then zip over to our most excellent sib Sandy's (z3magic) Web Count site? She's set this up to keep a running total of correspondence to Sci Fi, and we'd love for her to track your input.

All these URL's should work:

http://www.www1host.net/sentinel/

http://www10.brinkster.com/sandy2/

http://clik.to/sentinel

Let's see those numbers jump!!
