I would just give them the link and get them to do it themselves. Best to go about it the proper way.

Oh, and I signed up... but I'm not saying what my number is! Ha!

[Reply #42 on:]

Not if you use the same e-mail address.  Why not send your friends the link and ask them to sign it?

[EDIT]Damn, Ranadok beat me to it.

[Reply #44 on:]

Ok, I'll take your advice

[Reply #45 on:]

Stop yelling at meee!

#62

Yes, my real name IS that goofy.

[Reply #46 on:]

Well, I tried to help out a bit, posted the link in a few places, got yelled at. I still don't think the petition will work, but hopfully it will get you a few more signatures. Hope it helps because I think my name is now offically tarnished at the No Homers Club (more so than before I mean).

[Reply #47 on:]

fred - no i havent emailed any webmasters of big sites. but i will, soon. or if someone else would...?
I've emailed CGEF and TFP. Teral, i notice that you are part of the LeelaZone staff... could you see about putting a link or two up?

[Reply #48 on:]

Yeah actually you should.

[Reply #49 on:]

I signed it, I'm number 77

[Reply #50 on:]

99 or 96. i have no idea which one, but i signed anyway.

[Reply #51 on:]

It got my vote.
101 I thinks.

[Reply #52 on:]

Yeah, you need to get it up on all the Futurama Site's frontpage.

Zeep, you are a hero. And yes, I second that. The success of this movement needs edorsement from a big Futurama sites, CGEF espescially.

While the webmasters are harassed I'll link it around to my friends.

[Reply #54 on:]

I'm sorry, but I don't see the point in that. You at least need to have something new to tell them. The CN ratings and DVD sales were apparent in the March 2003 already (Europe had two successful releases and the US followed just 2 weeks after we handed in the petition).

TV Execs don't make decisions on grounds of mercy or pitifulness. You need to give them NEW input to re-evaluate the situation. And I don't see what that could be.

The idea of the last petition was to show them that there might be more support for the show than the pure ratings might have suggested. That obviously wasn't enough to make them turn around.

In addition, you'll end up with less than 25% of the original drive since you lack the oomph factor we produced back then when the wounds were fresh. Handing in something with less than 150% now would produce the opposite of what you want.

I'm sorry you feel this way. The way I see it, the constant rerun ratings and high sales for all of the DVDs is more or less new info. I think that if we show them that there are still enough people that care about it, as well as ratings and DVD sales, that might be enough to influence them.

We would really like your support, but if you won't give it, we'll have to take it by force! No, I'm just kidding. But I still think that if we had the help of big sites like CGEF, PEEL, and TFP, we could get almost as many people as the original.

[Reply #58 on:]

erm i have signed twice! not on purpose but hey its all good!

Good Luck Zeep!!!!

   

[Reply #59 on:]

@mArc, Zeep has one point - when the original petition was started, the only DVDs available were the European Season 1 discs, while there was no syndication deal with CN.  The Neilsen ratings were practically the only indicator of how Futurama was doing in America, which is the main audience FOX has to sell shows to.

[Reply #60 on:]

I signed this(number 145) Although it has been tried before, why not sign it. I hope this actually reaches FOX

Now that's funny. Get to work now Zeep. I'm spreading as much as I can myself 

[Reply #62 on:]

I signed it, #146! 

[Reply #63 on:]

I signed as #90 and I told as many people as I could. Spread the word! I'm ready to put the petition link wherever I can, and I know if we all try together, then we can get plenty of people to sign it.

[Reply #64 on:]

I put the link in my signature at another site I'm at. Signed it too. 157 I think.

Here's hoping!

[Reply #65 on:]

I'm 110% sure this will fail, but bleh, what the hell, I'll sign it.
Oh, and please, sign it with your full names. Nicknames and things like that will have to be pruned from the list. Also, rude commens will have to be pruned as well.

[Reply #66 on:]

Well so should dumb comments, I dont think fox are going to be convinced by

"FutuRAMA RUUuuuullzzzzz cancel Simpsons instead its SuckZzzz now"

[Reply #67 on:]

well, number 160, for all the good it will do.

[Reply #68 on:]

yeah, only constructive comments and constructive criticism.

But the KOTH hate comments I like.

[Reply #69 on:]

yeah, nick names are unprofessional, we gotta make it look the best we can. I just e-mailed Teral at The Leela Zone, and Dave at The Neutral Planet. I asked them to make a link on the site. If any of you know anymore popular Futurama sites, then try and e-mail them the link.

"It's a million-to-one chance, but it just might work."

I'm 163 I believe, I doubt this will have much affect but I'll get some other people to vote too.
Just in case.

[Reply #71 on:]

Well if films are anything to go by, a 'million to one chance' always pays off

[Reply #72 on:]

Heh, ever read "Guards! Guards!"?

[Reply #73 on:]

Lucky number 172 here

[Reply #74 on:]

family guy's petition got thousands upon thousands of signature, we have to take this  to the streets, get so many signatures that fox can't refuse! "we will fight them, on the beaches!"-bender from "the birdbot of ice catraz"
im 175! a landmark number! YEAH!!
Also, i think you, or choose a totally die hard fan to write a personal letter which you tell your feelings, but in a sophisticated way, you should also let everyone see it so they can add things to it

[Reply #75 on:]

And while we are at it, instead of just sending it out to Futurama sites, lets send it to the offtopic boards of every single forum in existence! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

My work has begun...

I also think I am number 59. If I stole your number, smack me for being lazy.

Actually I plan on putting it in all the off-topic forums I'm a member of. 

[Reply #77 on:]

I've already done that.

[Reply #78 on:]

it would be better if the petition said that all people that signed will watch episodes/buy merchandise.

[Reply #79 on:]

I am sending it to my friends, enemies, and everyone else I know.
