Chroniclers eh?
I dig.
I also dig in helping out.
I could try and post one new Chroniclers post on my Blog that could of course be quoted verbatim over here.
And be very aware...Timstuff and Myself are coming roaring back later this year with a project that will blow your minds.
Sarah Connor ain't going nowhere! (Bad English aside!)

I think that we've all been depressed and in mourning - it's time to change that and time to get ourselves out of our funk and move forward.
For anyone attending Comic Con I say that we should meet up to chat a bit.

Start putting money away for next year. I'm really grooving on the idea of getting us a room/time for putting together a fan gathering at next year's Comic Con.
I bet that we can talk Zack or Ash to come as guest speakers. Thomas & Brian love Comic Con - maybe we'd be able to get one of them to come as well.

You just KNOW the fanbase wuill respond. I'll start weakening Zacks iron will and resolve. This just in new boards are always so darned empty at the beginning. ;D

I have begun discussing the Chroniclers et all with Zack.
Comic Con time is complicated for him (important B-Day C-Con weekend) but he did say that he "can always try".
He certainly appreciated the early heads up..and loves the Chroniclers name.

Is it just me or does anyone else have an issue with the name "Chronicler" I've always liked the Resistance.. I know that can be used for the rest of the Terminator world, but Chronicler is just so... weird and does not sound cool at all lol. Any other ideas?

He was talking about enhancing and building on our identity, not changing it.
We ARE the Resistance.
If you really want to kill this movement, go ahead and change our name to Chroniclers.

I prefer "Resistance" too. People have been using it for a while already and "Chroniclers" is kind of awkward. John forms and leads the resistance. Sarah is legendary among resistance fighters. The Resistance is the good guys!
I was reading through Erika's post of stuff Ash said and I don't think he's been paying attention. Letter writing and such is how we started, but we've moved beyond that. We've got a grassroots sticker campaign (fans in 12 countries spreading the word). We've got t-shirts and other stuff selling at cafepress. We've got a mobile billboard campaign coming in September. We've got Comic Con around the corner in which fans are gong to be handing out stickers and schmacky and I are also going to be handing out gift cards for free S&D rental on iTunes.
Right now everything is all centered on pulling in fans, uniting for the cause because the season 2 DVD is coming out Sept 22. This is our time to push and might be our only chance. There's time for more community evolution later. But right now, there's work to do.

allergygal: Agreed. There is a great deal of sage advice in Ash's comments, but his words need to be read carefully and digested. We dont need knee-jerk reaction to anything he said. There is a lot going on right now in this fight and much of the community building that he talks about will be a natural evolution which will occur all by itself with time. Lets discuss what he said and come up with useful ideas, and not just try to invent a new identity over night. ! V L R !

Sorry I gotta disagree with the majority.
For one Zack REALLY LOVED the designation Chroniclers.
I mean Really REALLY LOVED!
That and there's a huge chunks of Resistance groups affiliated to Terminator that are already in existence.
Where as Chroniclers stands us apart from the rest of those groups as being SOLELY Affiliated with the Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Once again The Resistance...while synonymous with Terminator...also makes us much less visible because there's tons of "Resistance" sites and folks out there.
Whereas being a Chronicler sets Sarah Connor Chronicles Fans apart from all the other "Resistance" based groups. If people see that we're a Chronicler they'll know specifically that we're die hard fans of Sarah Connor Chronicles and not just a fan of the Terminator World as a whole.

But it's so hard to say! Not only is it hard to say, it's really annoying lol. Am I alone in this? Really? Is there not something else we can be besides the Chroniclers.. I mean, really? The Chroniclers?? And since when do people on the show name the fans? Don't the fans name the fans?

And since when do people on the show name the fans? Don't the fans name the fans? Hard to say?!? Seriously. Chron-icl-ers. Chroniclers. Come on now...it's easy as hell to say. As for Why the Chroniclers?Because we Chronicle the Future of SCC.Because to Chronicle something means to expound upon it, to continue writing it as in a history. Or a future history.
Those who Chronicle or continue to Chronicle events DON'T let said events die.Chroniclers ensure that something a Chronicler cares about, something special in their lives is not forgotten.As for aren't fans supposed to name their own fanbase? I suppose so. But when fans name it something so vanilla as The Resistance regardless of how connected such a name is to the legacy of the incarnations of the series (film and TV). So that it will get lost in the multitudes of already existing Resistance Groups. It seems a flipping waste of energy to me.Aside from that I feel that naming ourselves Chroniclers would be a nice nod to Ashley. And not only that but as a writer, like Ashley I'd also argue that a name like Chroniclers would enable us to stand out from the majority of Resistance folks who are generally talking about the films and NOT Sarah Connor Chronicles.Something tells me I need to wrie a blog about this eventually.
