I want to talk about Stargate and stuff, but I can't find a forum that has the right amount of postings. Why don't you guys post more often? Why isn't there more US and Canada (mainly US) people on here to talk with? Why does nobody ever talk about the upcoming Region 1 DVDs that I am always gawking at and anticapating? The traffic in this forum is ALMOST good, it just needs a bit more traffic. Gateworld.com's forums are flooded, with like 50 new replies in threads every day, there's no way to keep up. Help me.

Well...

Well, ASci-Fi covers a lot more fandoms than just Stargate. We're busy, just in a different way.

And if you really want to be busy talking 'Gate with a lot of US and Canada folks, wander on over to "Our Stargate Forums" on Delphi. Believe me, we keep it hoping over there.

There's a lot more out there than just Gateworld.

Hmmm, I'll check it out. Thanks for the link.

Welcome!

Most welcome! There's actually a lot of Stargate specific forums and such out there. It's gotten to the point I can't keep track of all of them anymore.

Can you list some of the best ones you know?

I need to find a forum where people actually DISCUSS the DVDs and stuff, and it's not 99% shippers and thumpers or whatever. I guess I am looking for a more...DVD Geek, Guy Stargate forum...

Ah ...

Not sure where'd you find that. Most forums for any show discuss the show itself, not the mechanics of how that show is distributed to the fans, other than an occosional passing as to how to get an episode. What you sould like you're discribing is a stardard Tech/DVD forum where a particular show might be mentioned in passing. Or a specific email list catering to a very specific group of folks. Sadly, I don't know of any in that last catagory.

And I wouldn't say that that sort of thing is limited to guys and geeks...

Well I find it odd that on here and on Gateworld nobody really dicusses the DVDs. I go to several DVD.Movie sites, but nobody there is really SG-1 fans. On here you guys talk about the episodes and stuff, you'd think that when the DVDs came out there'd be discussions about the extras, video and audio transfers, ect. I dunno, I guess I am just not used to these kinds of forums or something.

Ah...

Okay, now I follow you. Yes, there usually is a bit of a spike of interest when the DVD's come out in regards to the extras, but I don't know just how many folks [number of fans interested in DVD talk vrs the baseline number of all Stargate fans] who go out and buy the DVD's, vrs. those who tape the eps, just download the 'squinty vision' off the net or not archive the show all together]. The percent of DVD's buyers vrs everyone else just may not be high enough to kick-start a lot of discussion. I know I'm archiving the DVD's. A percentage of my fan friends aren't because of the overall cost.

I've found the same to be somewhat valid in other fandoms I'm in. Such as "Babylon-5", "Firefly", etc. This is my experience. It's not something I can quote cold, hard facts about.

Now, as I understand it, the usegroups/newsgroups run to a different demographic of 'discussion' [like alt.rec.stargate, for example] and you may find what you're interested in there. I'm not a usegroups user, so I'm not much of a resource there.
