Full Version: 500,000 Browncoats
The Serenity Browncoats > The 'Verse > Official 'verse news
gossi
SerenityMovie.org has been live since the beginning of the year, and I'd just like to announce over half a million individual people (we keep statistics) have visited this site since then.

So, who knows if the future of this story is in movies - I don't - but I can say this: there are over half a million people who are actively keeping up to date with news about this universe, which is quite an asset of customers to sell to. In fact, it's one of the most active fan communities around!

Browncoats should take note: this story isn't over yet, it's just about what format the next chapters come in.

Some us have some very specific and intense desires as to what format we want to see our beloved 'verse continue in, though:) Very cool, that's a LOT of people. And as the Bedlam Bards song puts it, browncoats carry greenbacks!
Masanori
I'd say the story is just beginning. icon_razz.gif Here's to 500,000 more visits and even more after that!

Wow. Just. Wow.

And hats off to you, Gossi, and your merry band of Admins! Thank you so much for everything that you did, and everything that you will do.

That is always encouraging to see numbers like that. icon_razz.gif

Woo-hoo! Browncoats rule! See, we love our gossi, and our forums. icon_biggrin.gif

Thanks for hosting us!

uh thats great, but...(sorry to be a downer), is that 500,000 separate IP addresses? or just the number of hits the main page got? here are quite a few people(like me), that revisit this site over and over in the same day , and every day of the week(I need help I know). But anywho... its still not asmall number. Lets hope the ranks just continue growing and the signal spreads further and further, even if one person at a time.

I would guess that is individuals, as in different IP addresses (though some may log in from different comps. at different times). But whichever, still prety gorram good!

That sounds like good news, good numbers to me. I agree that this story isn't over yet.

DizzyEllie
Uh, hate to be a downer, but I visit this site from at least 4 different computers, depending on where I am working. So the number is more like 499,996.

Sorry to be such a bummer, but we have to face facts.

(hee, seriously, tho, that is amazing. Is anyone of note (i.e. someone with the power to get us more 'Verse) noticing?)

THANK YOU, GOSSI!! A little fresh hope on a Monday morning is never a bad thing. I've got to believe that the planets will all align (so to speak) again one day, and our beloved 'verse will be back, with Joss, Tim, cast and crew the same as always. It's just too pretty to die.
FollowMal

Thanks, Gossi for keeping track for us! And it gives me hope for our future.
bhealey
I check every news, movie, Whedon, Firefly, Serenity and nerd-culture forum everyday to see if there is any new news related to getting more from the 'Verse. This is definately good news! 500,000 browncoats in just 2 months is quite impressive, and with DVD sales soaring... Well, I'm not getting my hopes up too high, but it's definately not looking half bad, either... icon_biggrin.gif

Come on! Bring on more from the 'Verse!
Serenity rocks
now that is impressive, half a million in two months. all thanks to not only the movie but the guys that created this website and forums. 'GO YOU GOOD THING'
bauer
I'm the same DizzyEllie, I've vistited from at least 12 different comps but that number is still damn impressive!!

Great News!!

As someone mentioned before tho....is there anyway we can let the people who need to know this amazing figure??

So they can get on with starting the next phase in the 'verse??
Leelioux
I visit from two different machines, but still... just AMAZING! And very exciting! Thanks Gossi!

We have 5,240 registered members

That is the impressive number. After only 2 months, to have over 5K registered members is quite an accomplishment.

I don't participate in this community too often because I really don't know anyone here, but I made a point to register to add my name to the list of a rapidly growing fan base. That will be the important number when execs make decisions. Also, someone posted a thread about the level of education Firefans have received. That demographic is the other important factor. Nobody will put on a show that can't make money, no matter how popular it is.

In all, this is a fantastic start and congratulations to all involved for reaching an important milestone so quickly.

Some people may be visiting from different computers, but I am a new BDFlan just since December. Already, I have recruited a couple more people to the 'verse. The numbers just keep growing. The only way I know to support the cause is to buy products, so I've already bought the DVD's, soundtracks, visual companion, and comics. And may I just add that even though I am new, I am just as severely depressed that there is no more. From ecstasy to hopelessness in so short a time. Joining this forum helps to alleviate my frustration. Thank you so much, gossi!
wickedmomo
now that's what i'm talkin' about!! way to go!! keep it up Browncoats!!! salute Gossi!
Let's be bad...and take over!! woohoooo! oh..and free coffee too.
wickedmomo...browncoat, bad guy actor
TapMouse
Way to go Gossi and WAY TO GO FELLOW BROWNCOATS!!!

I know that those numbers are going up because of the fact that so many of us have let others in on this beautiful 'verse that Joss & co. have created. As an example, I gave a guy I really, truly care about (some might even call it love...) a copy of the BDM to take with him on a road trip with his hockey team this week. Hopefully, there's a few more Browncoat converts on that bus (including the special guy I gave it to, LOL).

Wow, we got quoted!

At ConDFW, I had a room full of people singing the chorus with me: Trilogy, Trilogy, I want my Trilogy!

BTW, if any of those 500,000 Browncoats are interested, you can hear samples of that song and the rest of On the Drift: Music Inspired by Firefly and Serenity at

http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/bedlambards/from/celtic

Here's to the next 500,000! No power in the 'verse can stop us!

Even if we accept that a number of us log in from different IP's, there are several hunderd thousand browncoats on this site alone. That dosen't include all those without computer access, or those who don't/won't log on. Remember, 4 million dvd copies and $40 million opening week. icon_biggrin.gif
MalGal
That's an impressive number. icon_smile.gif Thanks for the info, gossi.
mantheycalljane
im a newly recruited browncoat....and i am damn glad to hear so many people are in to this.....i pray for more of this story
kaele
Excellent work, gossi.

Whod'a thunk we'd be that numerous???

I know I'm one of those that have joined just since the new year. So glad I found this place. FollowMal recruited me from the next door neighbors (fireflyfans.net) and now I post regular on both.

It's so nice to find a place where my coat blends in.
ShinyApple
Wow. A half-million Browncoats. Ummm, Gossi, do you think your server would be able to handle all of them?
