Nowadays, it is quite common the cast and crew of TV shows to interact with the audience through various social media platforms. But in the days before Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, interacting with audiences required a bit more skill. Fortunately for Babylon 5, its creator, J. Michael Straczynski, frequently logged in to different online forums, and he used these forums to help promote the show.

Participating in online forums made it easy to interact with viewers, answering questions and taking comments. Straczynski would also drop teasers about what to expect in next week's episode, fueling anticipation and encouraging even more people to tune in.
