SERENITYNOW


Okay--I know there a /lot/ of Firefly sites.

But there could be more.

Let's stack the deck--get the rabid fans who haven't established a fan site presence to up our Google stats. And guys, /this/ link was on the first google result page today:

http://www.zone-sf.com/firefly.html

Eek!

Anyone who's game, here are some tantalizing domains that haven't been taken yet:

* www.bluesun.com
Why doesn't the Alliance have its own fan site? (I see a site of nothing but ads...and subliminal messages...)

* www.redbutton.com
I think we should celebrate the symbol.

* http://www.serenityclass.com/

>What's up with http://www.firefly.com/ ? It comes up blank when I try it. Same with www.firefly.net . Is this a show cancelling thing? Does someone own them? (I'm guessing we want to make sure they're open and available for Mutant Enemy.)

Anyone who wants a site:
> I'll help as much as I can. I'm still learning myself, but whatever I can do, I will.
>You can buy this stuff pretty cheap these days. I found a domain name the other day for $8/year.

I want to set up a site called www.browncoatcompass.com designed on a Civil War era newspaper, complete with yellow journalism headlines.

Does anybody else have a domain name they'd like to see a FF fan site on?

msft.net also owns firefly.net

BTW, redbutton.com is also already taken since 1997.

and so is bluesun.com since 1996.

Like Fireflyfans.net?

firefly.com is due to expire in a couple of months. I use a service that tries to grab the domain name the second it expires, unless they extend it before than. And seeing it's Microsoft...
But might be worth trying.
