I know there's still some oldtimers around. Browncoat1 is still prolific, InevitableBetrayal (formerly Causal), Msckaren, Msg, Chrisisall,... others...

At least, I think they still are.

HELL'S KITTEN

Huh. I was just thinking the same thing last night...

BadgersHat, Ebonezer, Zoid (don't nearly see enough of him - or you, if you're reading this - around here), and more... and Gunhand..... aw, Gunny...! I miss him...

Mostly lurked back then, but there were a lot of good folk who posted a lot of funny and thought provoking things. *sigh* Damn nostalgia.

*goes back to lurking*

Flying on duct tape and a damaged registry.

I started lurking in January of 2003 and finally joined in September of 2005. There are some from "yesteryear" that drop in from time to time, but there are those who have just... moved on. Even last year seems like an eternity ago at times.

I still merrily frequent fff.net, but it is not the same fff.net that turned me on to my first fandom ever at age 41 (then). What a fantastic and eclectic group of people! You all rock (still).

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Prolific? Don't reckon I've ever been called that before. Thanks.

I'm still around, and even manage to post when I think I can add something to a conversation.

I understand what SoulofSerenity means about old friends dropping off the radar. Here's some of those I miss:

Channain
Astriana
TeelaBrown
Saint Jayne
Zoid
SevenPercent
Static
Ebonezer
Litwolf689
BayBreeze1
Serena
Canton
Malicious
Mantichorus
Blinker
Badgershat
TheReaver
Succatash
ManiacNumberOne
Physchick
Csteinme
Hardy
Spookyjesus
Gunhand
Wydraz
MisguidedByVoices
GorramReavers

I know life pulls us away or in different directions, but I miss these browncoats. I am sure I have missed a few, and for that I apologize.

Here's hoping they find their way home.

I wasn't really around when all those people were here, but I have read some of the archived threads and seen that many of those that posted aren't regulars now. It kinda makes me wonder if all our people will someday stop as well...

The wheel turns. Time to make new friends. People move on in this world and right in your own back yard. We are still diverse. We have had surveys here and we have people from 9 years old up to their seventies. We had a couple of religion surveys and if there is a religion not represented here it must be very small or bans TV. So the best way to keep in touch is to make this a part of your life.

BrownCoat1's list brings back memories; well, maybe more of a warm feeling than individual memories.

My "list" would include some that are still regulars, some that do not frequent fff.net anymore but with whom I am still in touch, and some that have disappeared altogether. It just isn't the same as when we were all here together.

Sentimentality aside, there always seems to be a new Browncoat in the 'verse to meet every day! *looks for Astriana*

Channain is reasonably well and exists in the real world it seems ...

She occasionally posts stuff at

She is busy with her college level work, etc.

You're right to a point Traveler. The wheel keeps turning. People come and go. Some stay, some move on. Here's hoping they always remain browncoats, no matter where they go.

I got on board just as the movie was coming into being, December 2004, so I guess I'm part of the third wave (the first wave being those who saw the series first run, the second wave being those who got the DVD at launch) though I still feel quite old school in some ways.

I think it's reassuring that the fandom keeps changing - it shows there's more and more recruits coming along but it's always nice when old regulars drop in (sadly Zol's IP address was barred so that's why he hasn't been around).

I remember getting the DVDs for Christmas 2003. SO happy was me, the 15 year old. But does that make me a second waver if i got them when they first came out or am i still a firstie since i watched the Train Job when it first aired etc.?

Anyhow, i remember coming onto the boards not quite from the very beginning, but i think i was led here from Slayage.com, a Buffy/Angel/all things Joss site that i think is now defunct. It was probably around the time that the show first aired, since i was, and still am, a huge Joss geek. I would have been about.....13. MAYBE 14 years old. I lurked for a little while, but i have been a member for a LONG time, and proud of it. Probably about 2, maybe 3 years a member.

Heck, i remember all those old days when ppl like TheGreyJedi and Succatash and BadgersHat were some of the most frequent posters (nice to hear from you again!). I havent heard from BadgersHat pretty much since the tragic event with his cat.

I think there were about 8 or 9 images in the Blue Sun Room when i first came. Seriously! There was one involving Shindig's swordfight, but with Mal vs. Dark Helmet. Funny how you remember these things.

Thanks to all of you in FFF.net, no matter how long a member, for being here during about 95% of my teenage years so far. And to those of you who may leave for a while due to various circumstances, just remember the words of a wise preacher: "We'll be here."

I'm babbling like a moonbrain.

Hello Browncoat1:

I notice some of our missing people are showing up. I guess you have to grab that wheel and give it a little push. People never forget their Browncoat roots. They made this a great site and we are lucky to have found it. And I believe that people who have moved on still have the Browncoat goodness with them.

I think this would be a good time to thank you guys for this verse. It is not easy to create something as wonderful as this. Do not think we newbies don't appriciate the warm carrying place you made here.

Thanks for the mention!

Actually, today is my first visit in a few months. Been missing the place, too...

All for good reasons, though... challenging projects and new romance mainly. Looking to see if there was some news. Glad to see Joss is still thinking about it.

I still drop by to lurk or whatnot, but not really to post that often. To me, the Serenity movie was bittersweet, deflated some of my inner Browncoat as it were. Some. Not all.

But BY GOD, I will finish my fanfic. So let it be written so let it be DONE! Or at the very least be written.
