Werthead Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 As we know, a decision is expected on the full series within the next couple of weeks.Anyone with a Facebook account who wants to add their support for the pilot being picked up can do so on the official HBO Facebook page here.It will likely have zero impact (at this point they may have made the decision anyway), but if we get a few hundred comments that could be pretty cool anyway :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vrana Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I don't have facebook, but aren't the many comments and threads on this board any kind of indicator? Apologies if this kind of question has already been asked, I'm just curious to know if anyone has data on how many people from HBO has ever ventured in here.

Apologies if this kind of question has already been asked, I'm just curious to know if anyone has data on how many people from HBO has ever ventured in here.Yes, and certainly the show's producers and some of the actors know about Westeros, Tower of the Hand and the other fansites and so forth, and I'm sure HBO know about that (and the fact that ASoIaF has a significantly larger fanbase than the True Blood books ever did before the TV series started). However, having a couple hundred people comment on the issue on HBO's official Facebook page (and we're already almost at 100) can't hurt, and might assist. At worst it's a sign of support :)With over 10,000 people on each the two biggest SoIaF FB communities (lots of repitition between the two, I guess), I'm hoping we'll get rather more comments than that though.

I wasn't even aware ASoIaF had so many different sites. I now know what to do with the rest of my evening, thanks for your reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninepenny Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Note that before you can post on that link you have to first become a "fan" of HBO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninepenny Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 HBO tweet: "No news yet on Game of Thrones. As soon as there's official word it will be announced here and on Facebook. Promise." - so at least someone at HBO knows we're interested :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitheach Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I'll do it, but do you think it'll really make a difference with the decision HBO makes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Won't hurt, anyways, and if they're coming to the critical decision making point, perhaps a fresh sign of loud and excited fan buzz may help nudge them where we want.I've commented, in any case. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defter Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 do you have to have a fb acount to comment/? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Afraid so. Once you have one, become a Fan of the page and then you can Like the thread and place a comment on it as well. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humble Asskicker Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I'm a little worried, with the recent news that Luck is getting the go-ahead at HBO. Didn't they have a program quota (which, if I've counted correctly, is now filled)?Of course, if they do go ahead anyway with Game of Thrones, HBO has an unbeatable line up. Luck, Boardwalk Empire, Treme and Thrones, in addition to Big Love and Curb Your Entusiasm. I guess there's also the lamentably popular True Blood.And The Pacific is debuting this month.
