just got the message:

Browncoats,

We have done the impossible, and that makes us mighty!

Serenity was the #1 DVD upon its release! This was a huge success that would not have happened without the support and dedication of The Browncoats. On behalf or Universal, I would like to thank you all for everything you have done to promote Serenity.

It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that on January 6, 2006, The Browncoats will shut down. We have had some wonderful times over these 19 months: met people from around the world, had interesting discussions about Serenity and every topic under the sun on the message boards, had lots of laughs (“I can’t believe Shepherd Book is Mal’s father *spoiler* ” was a personal favorite), and seen some sadness as well. There really has never been a community quite like The Browncoats.

Of course this is not the end of The Browncoats; there are many other sites that will allow the community to continue on. If you do get nostalgic for these boards, check out http://serenitymovie.org , a forum similar in look to this one set up by Gossi - one of our own.

All of your orders from the store are being processed, and will be shipped over the next 2 weeks. If you haven’t placed an order, please do so - your points aren’t going to be of any use once the site closes down. Remember we are at http://browncoats.serenitymovie.com

Once again a huge thank you from everyone here!

S_L

so, go sign on at the new site! ;-)

Wow.. that is just so sad... that is where Nathan likes to post.. it has been such a mighty sight for so long..

the beauty is that the .org site seems to be pretty much structured identically, and like FFF we can make it what we want it to be.

so no worries: Uni wants to close it down...let em. we'll hold.
