Skippy Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I've never thought of it as such, but I guess someone considers Xena SCI-FI... Can anyone elaborate? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggie Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Its what I would classify as fantisy not Sci-Fi. Nite needs to remove this show from this site. :stare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elderbear Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Xena's not any more fantastic than Star Trek. But one is set in the future (generally), the other in the past. That doesn't mean that Xena belongs here ... but it's no skin off my nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relentless Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Has nites always meant to be a sci fi place? I'm curious when was nites started? :) [i dont know since I joined only a month ago or so] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonHelton Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I've never thought of it as such, but I guess someone considers Xena SCI-FI... Can anyone elaborate? :o Zena is fantasy, yes. ......I've always wanted her to be MY fantasy, but we won't go there...... ;) The "Fantasy" category is: Zena The Lord of the Rings Conan the Barbarian She-Ra Hercules Barbarella etc.... Your typical "Dungeons & Dragons" stuff. Most people think Fantasy is Sci-Fi......(Thanks in large part to the Sci-Fi Channel here in the USA) .....Unfortunately, it's not. The closest Fantasy comes to being science related is an Alchemist. :thinking: If it were up to me, I'd have another website like this one, but devoted to Fantasy. .....And this time, I'd make sure it was in Switzerland or something, so the MP@@ can't touch it! :stare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yammichi Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 You know what.......I was just trying to make my own contribution to the site by adding Xena, But since you guys seem to only want to complain and whine about them not being real sci fi then I have removed them......I cirtainly hope this makes you happy, Try to do something nice for people and they rip your head off for it, well I have removed them and preserved the sanctity of your all hallowed Sci fi web site.....oh by the way check some of the misc. torrents and such, some of the things in thier are not sci fi either, perhaps you would like to complain and whine about those next.

I had always thought it was about some 'Warrior Princess' in the age of the Greeks. I may have been mistaken. I just wanted clarification. No need to become so upset. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect other sci-fi related channels are guilty of this as well. :( Understand that no one here was attacking you personally........ :stare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonHelton Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Has nites always meant to be a sci fi place? Nope.......It was actually alot less. .......Strictly Star Trek. :o :o :o We recently expanded it to include primarily "space-farring" sci-fi specifically, and other sci-fi in general. :stare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindTrick Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 This is all to bad really. Not that I'm a big fan of Xena by any means, but sci-fi and fantasy to me, always went very well together. Maybe the site should be expanded slightly to include fantasy. When fantasy and sci-fi come together, great things happen. Star Wars anyone?

lamp Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 i dont personaly think fantasy belongs here, it should be kept sifi. Zena isn't sifi, sifi is a type of fantasy based in sience, not magical stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammichi Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Then I apologize for what I said earlier I beleived you were all attacking me personally, if you would like me to put Xena back up than let me know if not also let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relentless Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 We are all friendly trekkies, we don't attack our fellow bretheren unless we have differing aggreements about what's the best series etc :thinking: :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have enough u/l bandwidth to support seeding everything I want to seed. Although I'd love to see a Buffy & Angel torrent site, unless Nite adds a category for it ... And don't forget that we've got some hard-science material here, too: various books and documentaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you posted Xena, although you probably should drop a PM to NiteShdw before reposting. I'll probably never get around to the d/l, but don't pay attention to somebody who tells you what you can and can't do here, unless that somebody is NiteShdw. Any other user, it's just opinion. Thanks for your efforts in contributing to our community here. I'm glad you're trying to give back - and if Xena's not appropriate, I'm sure you'll find something else you can post/seed before long.
