I see some of you are doing this for yourself - whelp, it's time I got off my ass and did some work here as a Mod. Steph doesn't look to be coming back anytime soon, and, I'll admit, I got spooked at the prospect of trying to take all this on on my own with my schedule. My schedule rather suddenly opened up, go figure - and I am so sorry about ditching you guys - it wasn't intended nor wanted.

SO! I need a rollcall - please state active characters, their ship & position on said ship if you would like to remain active. If you want to drop some characters, let me know, and we'll do that (the profile will be saved, so if you decide to reactivate them, let me know).

And, finally, the business about possibly dropping a ship from our ranks. It wouldn't be permanent, we'd just let it sit out there in the black for a while until we can finally get back to it. My vote is to temporarily drop the Shengli. Post your vote at the bottom of your roll call.

Again, I apologize profusely!! I just hope I came back in time...

Well, I'm afraid I joined the site at the wrong time. I was writing up my app when everyone was very busy posting on Shinbone. Then, as things tend to go in the RP world, when I finally posted my bio everyone faded away.

I wrote up a post for Shinbone thinking that Dot and me could play there while waiting for the crew of Serenity to return. That didn't happen and it got archived, without any warning, before we could even begin to play. And now it looks like Dot has also disappeared.

It looks like there are a couple Serenity crew members still around but without a captain I just don't see much happening on that ship....especially since Serenity was quite slow even when there was an active Mal on the board.

I really was looking forward to playing on this site since it's the only Firefly board I've found that allows canons. But unless Brad returns to play Mal again, or if someone else submits an app on him, I'm leaning towards giving up Jayne.

If anyone would like to convince me otherwise (that Serenity will actually have a place within the plot on the board and it won't just center around Cressida) I will be sticking around for a while to see what happens with this activity check thread.

Hi there,

I'm not a member yet but I'm thinking about becoming one - if the board is active enough, of course. So you can't count me in yet but I still want to say a few things.

Jayne : the character you decided to play is actually the canon I am most interested in reading about. I mean, if you decide to stay and play him right I'd be more than happy to play with you.

In fact I'd be willing to join the ship which most needs players (as long as there are at least two other people), so I'll be waiting for the new "crew & passengers" lists. If there are positions really needing to be filled (apart from canon characters cause I'm afraid I wouldn't play them right) just tell me and I may fill one of them.

Also, in addition to this topic, maybe you could e-mail (or MP if you can't as a mod) every member to say something like "hey, it's OK, the board is going active again, you can come back !" instead of just waiting for them to visit. Some won't give a damn but others may actually log in and see what's up.

Reading it again, I find my message a bit weird but I'm starting to fall for this board and I'd really be happy to help.

Jayne: I understand your frustration, but realize that you can play more than one character - I encourage it! I am attempting to restart the board, as is obvious, and the reason your thread was moved because, as stated in the rules, if there is no activity in a thread for two weeks, it's moved to the archives. ;)

Lueur: OMG! It's so good to know that there is still interest!! I'm trying to spread the word that we are still here, as I have some contacts outside of the board. Please stick around, and tell your friends!!

Lueur: I'm glad you're interested in the canons. They are the reason why I decided to join the board in the first place. =) But whether or not I stay depends completely on what the plan is for the Serenity crew.

Sarah: I realize that thread archiving is part of the rules. I suppose it was the way it was done that was slightly off-putting. Staff had been absent for a good long while and then it just seemed like suddenly someone appeared and swept the board clean without asking for any input from the members who had been patiently waiting around for any word on the status of the board.

As far as my creating a second character...I haven't even had a chance to play Jayne yet. And like I've already stated, it's canon that I'm interested in. Besides, I am on two other boards and simply don't have the time for multiple characters here. That was the reason why the slow posting of the Serenity crew didn't bother me all that much while I was writing up my app. I wouldn't have been able to keep up with the Cressida postings at that time and the speed of Serenity would have suited me quite well. But now that we have lost Brad...[shrugs]. Do you have his contact information? Did anyone try to get in touch with him before his ID was deleted?

as far as dropping the Shengli, as long as it isn't permanent because I'd like to play Delaney more than I have.

Jayne: No one came in and did it - it's set up to do so automatically. Or so I'm guessing - because it wasn't me and I haven't heard from Steph in ages. If you will be patient, I will get to advertising, and drag some people in here for canons and originals.

Oh! Automatic archiving hadn't occured to me. I'd just seen the Blue Sun account logged in around that time and thought Steph was doing a clean-up.

If you'd like a hand with that, just give me a shout. I recently went through an advertising spree so I have a large list of sites that could be used.

Jayne: That would be FAB!!! I'm trying to double-time it, I swear, but there's only so much, LoL...

Jenn: If I had control, you would've been a mod a LONG time ago, but I've no idea how to change that, and, unfortunately, I'm too new to zetaboards to really change things around, LoL. Just keep doing what you're doing, and I'll try to figure things out. *huggles*

If Serenity fills out, I'll still be here. I'm sad we've apparently lost some good people, though. :( But maybe if we got a group of new people all at once to fill canons, Serenity won't keep dwindling and we could get some stuff going.

I don't know if you can or want to, but on another board--every couple or three months--we have an activity check. An email is sent out to let everyone know they have [insert time limit here] to come in and take part in the roll call.

Aurora : unfortunately to be interested in this board my friends would have to 1) know Firefly, 2) be easy writing in English, 3) like roleplaying. I think they could skip the 1st part but they couldn't do without the other two ^^;

Jayne : so you wouldn't stay for me ? You're breaking my heart, you know ? (just kidding, of course I knew you wouldn't)

Just wondering... When someone leaves the board, is his/her "face" free again ? I noticed some celebrities are taken in the Picture ID list though their players have left, so I'm just curious.
