If you don't already know, several of the members of fff.net routinely (nightly) talk on the IRC channel #firefly. We're currently on the server "etherstorm.net" and someone is almost always there, although we don't usually don't start chatting it up until around 9:00 Eastern or so. We have, recently, become so self-involved that we felt the burning desire to make a website devoted to (what else) ourselves.

The site is being hosted at " www22.brinkster.com/numberfirefly/". Check it out if you find blatant self-promotion and other people's inside jokes interesting and maybe even drop by and say 'hello'. Rudimentary instructions are on the about page and if you post in the taglog that you need help, someone will almost certainly answer you.

P.S. What do we talk about? See the thread title.

Excellent work on the site maguinan.

There is always a good time to be had on #firefly. Where else can you discuss whether or not River is a psychic assassin, whether that is good or bad, waffles, akira fubuki, and the merits of curling all in the same night.

Stop by and say hi.

What a bunch of crap. You IRC browncoats are a bunch of hypocrytical snobs. You are mean towards new people, and when the Offical Board closed you were very rude to them. It's embarrassing.

I'll never go to the IRC again. Last night I was kicked out after trying to defend myself against all of your insults. You people suck.

I dont know who you mean by 'We'.. but I've heard directly from 3 people now that they have been harassed, made fun of, etc by certain people from FFF.net...(some people have an odd way of making people feel at home I guess)
.
The 'loon was a place to chat in real time..
so any place (for an OB'r) that has an instant chat is considered a 'loon dong ma?

P.S. I've never thrown a penguin at someone I didnt like.


Just my 2 Cents.

We do make fun of people a lot, including and especially ourselves and each other (e.g. I am often referred to as being a 'cyborg'; see http://www22.brinkster.com/numberfirefly/F_quote.asp, et alibi for others). And while we do welcome those who lack a sense of humor or are thin-skinned, admittedly they don't always have a good time.

A scene from #firefly: by maguinan

FADE IN: Two young women are standing on a hill, discussing.

SARAHETC: Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sarahetc. I'm a matron of a family of sorts. We're mockery demons. I'm sure you've heard of us.

MAGUINAN: No, I'm sorry.

SARAHETC: Oh, well, that's quite -

MAGUINAN: Oh, no, don't feel bad. I, uh, I don't talk to people much. I mean, I talk to them, but they don't talk to me, except to say that your remarks are irksome, and perhaps you should take your grammar corrections and your pop-cultural references to another fandom.

SARAHETC: I get the sense that your talents are not fully appreciated here, maguinan. We'd like you to /join #firefly.

MAGUINAN: What would I have to do?

SARAHETC: What you do best. Mock people when they say or do stupid and useless things

MAGUINAN: Mockery.

SARAHETC: But only to those who deserve it.

MAGUINAN: They all deserve it.

SARAHETC: That's where I was going with that, yeah.

Anybody can have a good time in #firefly, you don't even have to be cool to get along with everyone (just ask HFK ), although it helps. If you do come to chat, bring a healthy dose of self-effacing humor and an inflated sense of self-worth, and you'll do fine. Liberal use of sarcasm is encouraged.

1.) Question is..
Are you For or Against Penguin throwing..


2.) I believe theres a bit of difference between verbal sparring (making fun of people to their faces).. and back stabbing (pretending to be nice when their there, and then hacking on them when their gone..)
.
3.) keep in mind, I love FFF.net and the people here! It just irks me when I mention how great it is (to other browncoats) I get responses like "oh that place, people are mean there, I'm never going back"). The problem is this ummm 'rumour' seems to be spreading more and more :(

Succatash, were you bad? Actually, I should ask, can you not be bad?

Have you seen Sarahetc lately? I have found a post about her (Maguinan, this thread) but nothing by her today. I'll keep looking.

matron = big assed! It's a nice scene, fengmi. Thanks for the props.

Hey Lora who's like Carolina sunshine! I'm here all the time. What can I do for you?

HFK, ironically, I've never seen you be mean to new people or the O.B. fans. I am referring to the people you serve. Your masters.

You always sit back and do what you are told. You are just a cheerleader, a Yes Man. A follower, lacking vision and creativity. You are not my problem.

There are too many hypocrites in #Firefly. People who dish it out but can't take it.

Everything you said to me above can be equally applied to your masters. The only difference is, they've got the EJECT button and I don't. I was kicked out for not knowing my place among the elite.

HAH! Well, I'm an Independent and proud of it. Kiss my ass.

C'mon Arch, isn't that pretty harsh? I don't like all this Tash-bashing. He's done a lot of good on this site, he made a lot of people feel welcome, he has had multiple great chat sessions in the IRC, initiated many fun topics, (not cannabis or female related, but about Firefly), made a lot of great vids, and was a good friend to y'all. If he's made you angry, which is apparent, can't y'all let it go?
I can't see this getting any prettier, if the name-calling keeps continuing. It all depends on where you decide to take it. Personally, I suggest the high road. Now Arch, I want you to say something nice about Tash... Gorramit!

Archer, I barely know you. I'm aware that you have viciously attacked me, but so what? As if I'm the only one with problems. You're a weirdo, don't deny it.

You and HFK certainly help prove my point -- IRC #Firefly is a private club, biased and cruel. It's NOT a public Browncoat forum like Haken's site, where people are free to express themselves.

I've had a lot of fun on fireflyfans.net and I've posted my share of brilliance and stupidity -- And that is not against the rules. In fact, it's, um, the point. Don't you get it?

I'm a Browncoat. You are, too.

Instead of playing Jack Ass Rambo, why don't you and HFK trot on back to your Poodle kennel and wag your tails until your bitchy masters issue a public apology for chasing away Browncoats and spoiling the fun!

I can't see how anyone calling anyone a name will help, so let's say I am going to go somewhere else for a while and think peaceful thoughts. When I come back, prepare yourselves for some cheesey stuff. Get out your hankies, prepare to dry the bucketload of tears that will fall.


Okay, I am back......

That does not mean that all my difficulties are solved. Only I have found that this law of love has answered as the law of destruction has never done. - Gandhi

Maniac, on occasion you flat-out amaze me. I mean that seriously, sincerely, and with as much respect as can be packed into html-based text format.

Go in peace, mi amigo. I'm done here.

We don't know who put this cup of life into our hands. But when we go our bones will bake upon the burning sands. 'Cause we walk but once among the living, so no regrets and no forgiving- it's hard to dance when you're down upon your knees. And these are dark days indeed.
