Love makes her a home, and all of you family.

This site is the light, it's the only light in the whole damn tunnel.

If there isn't a light at the end that's all the more reason for this one to stay lit.

Sometimes I drop off the face of the net, but when I come back this is always one of my first stops, even if the only reason I came back online was to do something totally unrelated. I certainly hope it lasts forever, or something like that, but as to whether or not it will...

No idea.

Well forever is a bit long, but if we have a little luck and Haken passes off the site it can certainly outlast all of us.

We sniff the air, we don't kiss the dirt.

Let's not forget our step-brothers and sisters; the Buffy and Angel fans who also consider this site their home.

'Step'-nuthin'. They're our brothers and sisters. Oh, we may argue, fuss and fight a little; but what siblings don't? That's how you know you're a family: At the end of the day, there is Love...

There's always gonna be a place on the line for you!

Hey, I've been kicking around an idea.. maybe this is just the thread to open this discussion.

We need a place to go to when FFF.net will be down for the above mentioned move ( see Haken's post up above) and a safe Haven for when it's down like what happened before.

I think we should connect up over on the serenitymovie.org site. Gossi's board.

We could start a thread over there called FFF.net and all check in from time to time. I have played with the notion of starting a thread over there with news from over here that we'd like to share with them anyway.

So.... it'd be Haven. A place to run to in times of trouble over here.

What do ya'll think?

Opening a FFFn thread at serenitymovie.org sounds like a workable idea, I suppose. But for the reasons listed above -- i.e., discussion group page format, etc. -- I'll just wait right here at this address until the lights come back on, should the site go back down again.

There's just no place like home, and I'd rather pitch a tent and sleep on the front lawn than shack up anywhere's else...

Faithfully,

zoid

Nice try, Skeeter! Unfortunately, I completely agree with you...

You know, I belong to some of the other sites out there... and I'm sorry Gossi! I know you're working hard over at SerenityMovie and all, but this is the best thing out there!

Haken, thank you a thousand times over for giving us this fabulous house, letting us party in it, steal it's priceless artwork, and puke on the furniture.
Sorry about the llamas, though!

Not sure how long it will last, but I hopes it don't ever fade. Who knows maybe it will last the ten years necessary for Firefly to be resurrected on TV. How wild would that be?

Either way. I'll still consider this the birthplace of my inner-geek.

God bless Joss & Haken too.

Kinda like the Allspark's "Alpha Site." (Yes, the Transformers website has a Stargate-themed backup. I don't know why.)

In their case it's an actual free forum they've set up on VB (or UBB, or something). I can't find a link to it now, but next time Allspark goes down (it won't be long, it never is

) I'll make it a point to check the place out.

gossi's board is a good refuge in
time of need. It's not fff.net --
no way it could be -- but if you spend
some time there you start to get more
familiar with it, and you find cross-over
members and some similar topics.
And they are quite friendly, too (as I
said, "some of them is us") so there's
nothing to be afraid of, really.

While fff.net was down I was there and
it was a bit like having to stay in a
different room: where are my clothes,
my hair-brush? do I dare get out of bed
without turning on the light?
That kind of thing. You're not on auto-
pilot for a while. Then you start to find
your way around.

Bless and keep Haken and I hope we're here
forever. I'll take my place on the line
right beside NRDPWR and even offer to share
some of my secret stash of vowels.

This site is one of the very best Firefly sites. I cased em all, really and truely. This I liked cos of the uploading-ness of fanfiction and images. The boards are so very grand and thought-provoking. I seriously come here every day. Dial-up connection or no. I read the newly posted fics that interest me, check out the latest images and flip through the threads. It is part of my routine. E-mail, fireflyfans.net.

That is my two cents worth.

Keep flyin'.
