Ooooooooo... you have my curiosity raised...
Want to see more... when?
And I like your concept of a site for fans, rather than just for a specific show. I'll be putting my thinking cap on and offer some ideas shortly.

LOVE that Cezanne font... I bought it too.

I'm in, Haken. What you have done with FF.net is remarkable, and I can't help but assume your next endeavor will be as well. I spend more time here than I do at my own site, and now you have me waiting with bated breath. It's all shiny.
While Firefly is still my favorite series ever, I have been a fan of SF and Fantasy tv, movies and books for almost as long as I can remember. I watched the original Twilight Zone and Outer Limits when they first aired ( yes, I'm old, what of it? ), cut my teeth on Heinlein, Norton and Asimov, and love the tremendous flights of speculation from the great SF films. It'll be great having one location to congregate with like-minded fans.

Concerning searchability, a neat trick is just use Google. Type "site:fireflyfans.net" followed by a space and what you are searching for. Google then does the work for you. Mind you, it is not a perfect solution but it works.

What do you think?
Sorry I missed that this is what you were talking about the first go round.
I think it's an excellent idea!
I've been a scifi fan since I was 8 and although Firefly is my favorite show, there are many others I love including Torchwood.
I expect the new site would become home rather quickly if my experience here at FFF.net is anything to go on.

I guess the frequent outages here ( they're small and quick and then it's back! ) are you playing with the site, Haken?
Does this new fansite replace FFF.net, incorporate FFF.net or is it in addition to FFF.net? Sorry, my curiosity got me.

Ah, this is the question that cuts to the nub of the jist. To the heart of the matter, as it were.

Yeah... I was almost afraid to ask it, but my curiosity got the best of my good sense.

I like to know too if Shinyuniverse is a replacement for fff.net.
There are only a few tweaks I'd do here, pages with topics listed on the first page.
In the BSR, separate the art and fic and make the fic searchable by title and author.

Ohhhhh YES!!! I'm most definately in the "keep this one" category... but I would love to see the BSR have a search or something

This question has already been asked and answered by Haken upthread:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=5&t=30835#545864
This thread concerns a new, additional, fansite, and not a replacement. FFF.net lives on...
