The main site is up ( www.serenitymovie.com) but all other features within the browncoat board is not online - I didn`t see any info on maintanence yesterday, but it maybe something they have had to do.

Everytime there is a new trailer...

And I feel so lost without it.

It may be for a radical new design to incorporate crews etc.

or it may just be an upgrade or just a maintanence check - they should really schedule these in on a regular basis.

I hope they get it up and running soon - I wanted to double check some info posted there.

Am I correct in thinking the home / main page has changed to be the same style as the poster?

It would be really strange if the site went all black and blue.

Here I am at work and I'm listening to Buffy "Once more with feeling" (not watching, just listening).

Most of the songs are filled with angst of one sort or another (my favorite is Giles' song).

I wonder if I could come up with a ballad describing our relationship to these boards? How we feel when we can't access them?

I'm sure I'm not the only one that has withdrawl symptoms if I don't check in daily (or more) !

Stay shiny!

Yes - you part-time FFFNeters! We know where your true affections lie....!

With regards the UB's unavailability, the lyrics from Tara's sone spring to mind: "Wish I could trust that it was just this once...."

How about this then (to the tune of Going Through The Motions):

Every single day, the same arrangement
We go out and write the fight.
Suddenly today, a strange estrangement,
Pages not displayed, 404s in sight.
We all need the host to show our posts,
Just hoping it's not toast,
We're all going for the refresh,
Clicking it in vain,
Starting to make River look quite sane.

We all really need our fix of Nathan,
Now where are all the crews?
This is looking grave, this can't be right,
Please tell us what's the news?
We've all got the blues,
Nothing left to lose.

We don't want to dwell on server hell,
But this pain we can't quell
We're all going for the refresh,
Pleading with the screen
How can one computer be so mean?

Will it stay this way forever?
Is this the end of our endeavour?
Are our lives now stormy weather?
We don't want to be...

Going for the refresh,
Feeling so ignored.
And we can't even read,
The cleavage thread we need,
And we just wanna seeeeeeeeeeee the board.

I have no idea how that tune goes but then I can`t sing in tone/tune so that might not make a difference :)

How disappointing - it's back up and still looks exactly the same, at first glance at least.

I`m going to get flamed for this but, maybe it`s beacuase it`s Buffy related?

I`m not into The Teenage Vampire Slayers - that could be a rock group?

Personally I find it very reassuring that the fanbase for Firefly is different than that to Buffy/Angel. Not that I don't love those programmes (and I do, oh so much, which is why I had those lyrics by heart already) but Firefly stands alone, it doesn't need either show to back it up.

Granted, we see the same creator's fingerprints all over them but we have to remember that Buffy was only a cult hit, not a mass market one. Serenity needs to meet the mainstream to be considered a success and I have this gut feeling it's going to do so like a thunderbolt.

Oh, and the Browncoats board is back up so you can stop singing now. I'm tone deaf too Zol, I wouldn't worry about it.

My one previous public singing event was in Edinburgh about five years ago. I'm afraid the restraining order still applies.

I must admit not having a good singing voice is top of my "If I could fix one thing about myself" list. It's either that or my indecisiveness. No, definitely the singing thing.

Hmm.

I'm confused - apart from the totally inadequate description of Buffy, this seems to contradict with this post: http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=11683

So far I can see, Buffy is just a teen drama (totally wrong anyway) so is beneath you in some way and yet Harry Potter is OK? Now I'm a great fan of those books, but here we are at book 6 and he's not even as old as Buffy was in Season One.

Addictive though the books may be there's no getting away from the fact they're kid's books and fan though I am, all that talk of "snogging" in the last book got a little tiresome...

Anyhow, really just curious : biggrin: I 've been a lurker to date but your posts really got me thinking about someone can dismiss Buffy as childish (if I read you correctly) and yet praise Harry Potter - so here I am, all official and ready to join the ever-growing band of Browncoats!
