Ah Cheers for the Chicago gathering. I only wish i could be there. It is a history making event for those who, as i, are faithful followers & supporters of a Living Legend! Now i've assigned myself to staying in touch via the web, i can never waver again or neglect my deepest feelings i will always have thanks to the enormous generosity of our devoted original cast members, who performed with perfection & left an indelible mark and appreciation for us all. Keep up the good work and efforts. Thanks.

This is my first session as a full-fledged poster to this board, and my vote is without hesitation for the miniseries as "ripoff" though for me personally, there's more that can be said about it as well that aren't presented as choices.
Since the miniseries aired though, there's been the wave of expended energy and all other emotions associated with the minseries, that I don't anticipate the need to express that negativity any longer in the way I and so many others felt compelled to do when it aired and what we saw was from our standpoint a betrayal of what Galactica has always stood for and ultimately the triumph of those who had run down the original series from the beginning. It's been aired, it's done and the real world is such that we as fans of the original series have to stay focused on promoting the greatness of the original and let those who chose to like the miniseries occupy their own niche.
My opinion of Ron Moore has not altered no matter what kind of donation he makes to the effort to show interest in a TOS feature revival, but barring any new public comments by him, there's little point in rehashing the old wounds there as well.
I would also like to say to those who know me from another board and who are familiar with the unpleasant circumstances of how I came to leave that board, that I have joined this board in the hopes of starting with a clean slate when it comes to Galactica discussion. Things got out of hand at that other place in part because I feel things were structured in a way to invite far too much in the way of OT discussion and threads on things that don't have anything to do with the things that cause us to look for Galactica discussion in the first place. I am impressed by the structure of this board to see so much diversity of topic and structure that's Galactica related that whatever niche there is for OT discussion is so small that I can easily steer clear of it, and I shall. The posts that I make in this place will be entirely about Galactica, and I hope that even those who may not have reason to think highly of me because of what's happened over OT threads in the past will be able to share that sense of a clean slate as well when interacting with me.

And thank you for the kind welcome! I am looking forward to having a good time posting here.
In the meantime, while I am aware of the increasing library of fanfic available for reading here and will be giving them a look, I hope the members of CF will find time to check out the 300 plus stories of all kinds available here at Robert Hanczyk's site:

Hi,
I just joined and I am trying to get the hang of this forum. I am kind of new to this forum thing. I did enjoy the BG remake and am glad they are making a series out of it.

Hi,
I was a cherry only a few days ago.
Everyone was very friendly and offered advice.
Dont worry, you will soon lose it.

welcome betacloth: the cherry just means you're new. In a few post's it's gone and you get a title. (and sometime you can customize the title but I don't know when: Like mine is because someone told me there were horses and unicorns on the BSG livery ship, I assume to herd the cattle if they could ever let those graze on a planetary stopover.)
Did anyone tell beta to watch out for the Blue Koolaid? and not to drink anything that the beavers might be offering in the Cafe?

The third choice was the best answer, for me. I did love the original, and I liked the nwe one, too. But I don't think they need to make both. It should be one or the other. I just hope its the original.

Worse than their penchant for wood is their sometimes alliances with the Cylons and their penchant for passing off something yellow in a bucket for yellow koolaid (see threads in the Rejuvenation Center for more info).
Blue Koolaid is OK in moderation, anything Gnawty and Harry offer you is generally to be run from, post haste.
