Yes, I noticed that. I try to stay open minded about Whedonesque, because it has good info and ofcourse Joss posts there, but I do find it very irksome. I have tried to post 5 links there since I've been a member, all well within the rules as I saw them, but every one has been deleted, often after some condescending remark by "simon".
Anyway, what am I doing turning this into a Whedonesque bashing thread, when it should all be about the vumping!!!

Quote:I've had a couple of people email me in the past when I refer them to whedonesque. They've made the comment the the moderators are biased against Firefly, and that they no longer serve the interests of the people interested in Whedon - they just serve themselves. Oh, well. I'll keep visiting whedonesque anytime I have the strong desire to see another "database failed" message.

You know what the first rule of flyin' is? Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of worlds. And love keeps her in the air when she oughtta fall down… tells ya she's hurtin' 'fore she keels… makes her a home.

I saw your post got pulled FlyVote. What was the reason that Simon gave?
I never got to see the comments.
One of my friends posted Firefly news one day as well and got pulled. She's never tried again.
I don't believe that Whedonesque is biased against FF/S, there are articles there now. I think their rules are so very strict that it's hard to live within them.
Congrats everyone! To turn this back to the topic of the thread... I'm voting and will be every day til we get there.

Yeah, me too. Birthday this weekend. (Although I'd rather not think of myself as a Leo.)
Almost entirely new to Firefly and brand new on Fireflyfans.net, but I voted.

Clowns to the left of me, vumpers to my right.
Sorry your post got pulled. 'Tis okay; we'll make it without 'em. Just thought they might want to join in the fun these next few days are likely to bring.

This story appeared before? There were more than a quarter million votes for Firefly before?

I think what we have done is fantastic. I think that it is news to share with Joss Whedon and his fans. I just got another email bashing whedonesque as I was typing this. It appears that the moderators there are good at pissing people off.
Funny - long ago I thought that the site was one sanctioned by Joss. I was happy to become a member. The truth is it is just another random link-gathering site. Yawn. Now they can delete my membership, for all I care. Not bitter, just disappointed. And I have no use for membership at a site that treats so many people so poorly.

I'm still sorry they pulled it, it IS news and deserves to be known 'round the 'Verse.
Back to voting!
