browncoats unite

Operation Full Burn

To all my Firefly friends: I joined this forum and made a quick post to support Operation Full Burn after reading this in the “Big Damn Knitters” group on Ravelry:

Repost from www.fireflyfans.net

We need your presence on the Universal HD Forums. Universal seems to be responding to our demands…HAHAHA! I’m reposting some info from fellow Browncoat and Uni-HD site Moderator “Cordrone” in the hopes that it serves as a little inspiration to go register.

Cordrone posted…

Howdy fellow Browncoats! In case anyone had not heard the Shiny folks over at the Universal HD channel have picked up the BDS for another full run starting in a little over a month. The show was not originally scheduled to be picked up again after it’s airing in 2007 but the influx of fans and traffic to the Universal HD Firefly Fans forum I’ve been told basically caused the Universal VPs to rethink that position. (My source for this information is the Universal_HD site Admin “A shiny Browncoat in his own right” who I now communicate with frequently since becoming a Moderator for those forums. No pay but the inside info is well worth it!!)

Anyway, Firefly will be re-aired in a weekly format like a normal series and will be shown in its proper order all in HD.

And a little more…

The Admin there reports weekly to some Universal VP’s and he brings our Browncoat desires and stories directly to those folks during his planning meetings with them.

This is the main reason I’m so very adamant about Browncoats joining the site, posting, and such. The folks there can actually SEE us and have been responsive, on a smaller scale, to what we want. It is my notion that they will respond on a LARGER scale if there are more users there. As of 5 mins or so ago there are ONLY 1,736 registered users on the Universal boards and of those 1,736 users approx 1,500 are Browncoats (I’m user #176 and have been keeping count sorta from there). that’s not enough for the Universal folks to say… “You know the fan base for this show/movie is big enough that I think it warrants us to invest in a sequel.”

However, if there are 10,000 screaming Browncoats then that’s a different story! I know that with all the fan sites out here in the black that numbers like that are easy to meet. You need not have HD to join the boards folks!
