I know a lot of msties who don't go on the mb's. it's just not their bag.
Take football mb's, they might have 4,000 to 6,000 board members, but come Sundays there's 65,000 screaming fans in the stadium. A MB is a small community of fans.
Our MB doesn't come close to numbering the MSTies out there.

Alright, this is my last reply and then I'm dropping the subject.
YES, there are 65,000 people in the stadiums every week, but they as hardcore and insiders as the 4000 or 6000 on the boards. No ones going to get what I'm saying, so I hate to do this, but I'm comparing to wrestling. There are about 5000 people on a wrestling message board, but Millions watch every week on TV. HOWEVER, those 5000 are really hardcore fans. They know the wrestlers backgrounds, what's backstage (like wrestlers legit cheating on one another this week is a good example of something the regular fan doesn't know), and other such stuff.
We know how Joel Hodgson started, who Mike Nelson is married to, what sort of socks Kevin Murphy wears (okay not that). But we know that and that's what makes us more hardcore than other fans. It's NOT an insult to other fans. Maybe hardcore isn't the right word, but I think you catch my drift.
I NEVER said this was the only amount of fans left. I said were the last hardcore fans WHO ARE GOING TO HEAR ABOUT TIME CHASERS, which was the subject at hand.

Lets get something clear. We get what you are saying -we are not stupid- but we don't agree.
#1: Being on a MB doesn't constitute being a hard core fan. I didn't get on the Net till AFTER the show was cancelled. But I was still a hardcore MSTies!
#2: We are not the only avenue of publicity available to this studio, but having it broadcast and released on DVD via MST is an added bonus.

I think you're misunderstaing me. Either A) they don't know about the online aspects aren't as dedicated as us, nor could they be because they don't know, or B) they do, but they aren't on the board, BUT there aren't too many people like that. I think alot of the hardcore fans are here. Not a majority, but probably cloase. See, I completely disagree with you here. You're pretty much saying that because they aren't on a message board discussing MST3K a lot means they're not (or can't be ) dedicated. I don't think a lot of the hardcore fans are here; just some of them. It's not like this board means anything anyway. And how do you know there aren't people like that? Because they're not on this board? You can't know. But Rhino's DVDs do sell, and I know I'm not buying all those copies by myself, so those numbers come from somewhere. I think it's a bit silly to think all or most MSTies have to be concentrated and in one place, or have to discuss obscure or fan-like things within our earshot.

See, all it takes is one simpleton like yousonuva. He'll tell 2 friends and they'll tell 2 friends and so on and so on and suddenly there's a groundswell of support for Time Chasers 2.
yousonuva is like a God weeping fire! (whatever the hell that means, I just like the sound of it)

Hell, it's horrible and the sequel's going to be horrible. I mean, if these guys want to keep putting out horrible movies, it's their damn business. I mean, it's not like their making Citizen Kane 2.
