In the most recent threads section of the home page here, I noticed something odd.

Of the items visible in the window, only about 30 were actually FF/Serenity and or fandom related. The rest was.. well a lot of it looked suspiciously like unrelated rants at best.

Are there any browncoats left here to actually celebrate and discuss the joy which is Firefly?
I remember not too long ago when there would have been at least 90% on-topic posting.

Anybody else out there noticing what I'm seeing or is it just me?

We're still here.

You gotta remember, the show was 9 years ago. We've run out Firefly things to talk about, yanno? I don't think there is anything to say about Firefly that we haven't already said in the last 9 years, repeatedly.

So we celebrate Firefly by hanging out here with other Browncoats, but talking about other things we have in common. Or not.

Please note that there are different boards here on FFF. You posted here on Real World Event Discussion, which is dedicated to all topics NOT-Firefly.

Firefly-related posts would be found mostly on the General Discussions board.

Been too long since I commented on actual FIREFLY related stuff.

I miss those days.

Only so many things to discuss about 14 episodes and a movie, nearly a decade later.

And comics and short stories!

Those are often good for about a week of debate and speculation.

But the actual Firefly discussion actually tends to happen with e-mails among groups of fan writers. Occasionally the conversation will leak out for discussion on the board.

There's a number of people who I still talk to about Firefly two to three times a day with.

We should probably re-watch the show for all the newbies coming in.

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

I honestly don't see much difference in thread topic ratio between now and a year or two ago. Actually, if anything, I'd say there's been more talk about Firefly lately than there was a year ago, with Nathan's growing popularity and such. Real World has been the dominant board on this site for a long time, it seems, and the various projects our BDHs have been doing ebb and flow quite a bit. Occasionally people talk about Whedon's other projects, too, but until Avengers there isn't much to currently talk about. I'd like to see more discussion in that sort of vein, but... I guess we'll see if that ever happens again.

Ritual is what happens when we run out of rational.

Yes, but everyone, these are the newbies who are coming in from SyFy, and they're not used to FFF.

So, Newbie. This is RWED. It's where all the trolls go to feed ;)

Firefly topics are more apt to fly in other sections.

Stinkingrose is not a newbie, she's been on the board for five years, joined shortly after I did.
