I just hope that when/if the Nuffy movie comes out, the discussion forum for it will be kept strictly separate from the one(s) for Joss's Buffy. Can you elaborate? Do yo think that it should not be discussed here when it comes out? Since we are a Buffy forum, it will be getting it's own section in the new forum. And discussions are encouraged! But it will be separate from the Joss show. Since it is a separate entity, like Season 8 is.

Ugh. It bugs me that pretty much all Jo did was look at the Season 5 promotional photos and copy/paste. Hi.

I don't like the idea of asking members for money so they can enter a contest. In my eyes that's a cheap ploy for a broke Administrator! I will fund our contests. Now, we will have a PayPal for donations, but that will never be mandatory. SA is and will always be free. Having people pay to participate in something we do is not right, in my opinion. But I am grateful for the suggestion and that you all are willing to donate. That means a lot to me! Seasonal or holiday skins will be optional and not by default, so you'd have to select it in your profile cp. We will be having a contest the moment the forum opens. Every member that registers automatically gets their name tossed into a bucket and I'll draw winners live on video around Christmas.

dusktodawnThis is a mock-up for what the actual forum space will look like:

No, I mean posting things on our main page, like what you saw in that mock-up.

I think if Joss were to get an advance version of the script, and give some sort of approval, then I would be very much okay with this.
The only thing in recent times I can think of are the Harry Potter films. JK didn't write or direct or anything did she? I'm not sure, but I don't think she did. But I did see that she visited the sets, and gave her input on casting and stuff. If Joss were to have that type of influence I would be happy with that. Don't flay me.
I don't really want the re-boot because I think the show is a great beginning and end. But let's not forget that Sarah is not the first Buffy, and not she will not be the last one either.
To me, this means that ultimately Buffy the Vampire Slayer will grow and become something bigger, more than an amazing show, and reach new people. The show and it's continuity will continue for years. There isn't anything we can do as fans about the reboot except allow this to ruin our days, because it looks like this will happen whether we accept it or not. So I am choosing to just be optimistic, and hope for the best. I love Buffy. It shaped my youth, and it plays a role in my daily life, with this site! So I will see this movie. And I don't really care whether or not I am a Joss purist. Just because I own everything he's ever done doesn't mean I have to make myself hate the reboot. Hell, it might just turn out amazing!
If the people behind the reboot really want to do something great, and feel inspired to do so, why not just wait and see? It's not very related, but I happen to like Batman Begins and the rebooted Star Trek, and I am always quick to notice the inaccuracies in the film stories versus "what really happened in the show/comic". But it doesn't make those films wrong or terrible. It makes them what they are, a mostly diluted version of what they are based on...like most movies are! Interview with a Vampire was not as good as the book. Neither are the Harry Potter films.
This is a Buffy forum, not a Joss forum. So I hope that if that time comes, it will not turn into a huge war of superiority where members have to feel wrong for being "pro-reboot". I'm sad that Joss 99% won't be involved. I wish it were a continuation with the same cast. But it's not going to be.

I'll be the first account. By default. I have to load the forum software But, the person who registers after me will the the new Seed of SlayAlive!! haha I kid. That image is a photoshopped mockup. I am still working on the graphics offline. When the new forum is loaded it will be ready to go, so I am finishing up all the graphics and buttons and stuff before that. What you saw as the home page was not real. Just a glimpse of how it will look. A few questions: What kind of skins do you want to see? Does having the option of different selectable skins interest you? Would you be interested in contributing to our main page by posting stories, articles, reviews, meta, and such?

Seems like this project is gonna happen whether we love the idea or not. All I hope is that the team behind this movie watches the entire show to understand the concept of the mythology and the character of Buffy. Even if they can't/won't use any of the show's characters or stories, I hope that watching the show would show them who Buffy is supposed to be.
Amanda Seyfried for Buffy Summers?
I wonder if they'd go with that whole reincarnation thing, the menstrual cramps, and the mole...like they did in the movie? I hope not!

Hopefully soon. It could be somewhat spoilery, so they may hold it for another month.

Heh... I'm on the front page. I made the front page. Can that happen more in real life? Heh. It will if you post new articles all the time! Actually, we will probably look for a small group of writers to contribute to the main page section.

It's all about the money, honey.
But, to all of us this is just unfair. My Mom, a casual viewer is happy with the news because she likes "Buffy" overall, but doesn't know the behind the scenes, or the difference between Joss/not Joss because she never saw the original film.
The more I think about it, I would rather them use the television show's characters because if they are going to put this thing out I want it to be the best it can be. Without Willow, Giles, Angel, and Xander, Joyce, etc...what would a Buffy movie be?
If the ship is sinking, if this is gonna happen whether we hate the idea or not, I'd at least hope that the new representation of Buffy includes the characters I love. I don't want to sit around and be negative about it, we know it will not be Joss' vision. But if this is coming out, I hope it does well and most of all I hope it does not tarnish "Buffy" to the general public.
And secondly, this will undoubtedly bring a thousand new fans to the series. I hope!

Amber Benson tweets her thoughts: Apparently, they're rebooting 'Buffy' w/out Joss Whedon: I told him that asking to play the title role would frighten the Studio Execs.Someone asks her: Amber_benson IF you were invited back to play a role in the Buffy movie, would you do it?Reply: Well, @phoenix_Ranger, they asked me to play the penis montster from 'Double Meat Palace' in the reboot & I said that Tara doesn't do dick.
LOLZZZ!!!! I love her so much! Love Amber. Thanks for posting this here

I'm looking forward to the new forum as well, but I don't know anything about that type as I'm only familiar with proboards. Also a big plus for me will be the mobile feature, so I can be on here as much as I used to cause I really miss all of you. Cowboy Guy I noticed you mentioned that there may be an app for the iphone someday in the future...would you also consider something for android as well? Please? I will help with that in any way I can. And thanks for working so hard The app will be available in the iTunes store. For now, it will only be the only app. But if the demand is high I would get an Android version too! For all other mobile users I am creating a nice sleek mobile skin for easy and fast browsing!
