Hello all. Since our home forum The Buffy-Boards has been shut down until further notice (or possibly indefinitely) I have taken it upon myself and designated Slayalive as our new adopted home. We're all pretty bummed about our forum getting shut down, but hope we will like it here as much and you all will accept us with open arms Please post in this forum if you were a member of the late Buffy-Boards! - Becky

Oi, me me me! I know you wrote on your FB to sign up here with our BB name, but sorry, already signed up way back in May, when the first bannings took place....I hope it's clear that I'm formerly Cangel, now Kristine from BB It's really a pity about the Boards, I've been posting there for over a year and it's really been like home! Well,it's good the community has found another way to communicate, cos there were a lot of members on BB I wouldn't want to loose touch to! Quick question on the side...do you think we'll get BB back or is it gone for good?

Hey Cangel/Kristine! Thanks for joining! (and so quick!) In answer to your question; honestly? I don't know if Buffy will open the boards again. I hope so, but I have a feeling this is it. But I also don't want to have to constantly worry about her closing them every time she can't handle it, you know? At least we know this place won't get closed down everytime someone mouths off to the mods. I know this forum is different, but I think if we have all of our gang here we could learn to love it just as much as we love BB

Hey guys! Quick question on the side...do you think we'll get BB back or is it gone for good? I'm really, Really, REALLY hoping that Buffy's just realized she's going to be busy IRL next April Fool's, and she's making up for it now. If not, do we have word on the reason she shut the boards down? Last thing I heard is that we weren't going to learn anything until they reopened, and if they aren't, (which, like I said, hoping that they are) I'd like to know. Oh, and also, great idea, Joan, having us regroup here. I'll have my BBers wherever I can get 'em.

Glad you're here Well, we've been discussing it on the BB Facebook page, and someone mentioned that Buffy felt that she needed a break and that she didn't want to the boards unattended during that time. Someone else said that it might have something to do with the new mods Rampage and Athena..and someone else thinks it was Silum who pissed her off so much she shut the boards down - but really, it's all speculation. No one from the board staff has posted anything.

i'm no BB-er, but i don't know if this thread is a good idea. i can definetely see a BuffyBoardsers versus SlayAlivers thing developing eventually. It's just my opinion, but i dunno if clubs like this are a good idea.....we'll see though, it could be totally harmless.

Although BB and SA are 2 different forums and have difference aspects attached to each it would be nice for us all to Unite under one fandomWell said. I agree. It's not that I feel that BB was superior to this board - it's just that I was used to it and it was the first one I ever joined. I'm sure I will love it here once I am more familiarized with the people and layout. On that note, I just want to remind us how incredible the Buffy fandom is. I love Buffy fans so much and love talking to all of you!

I just desire a way to get in touch with all my friends on there, that's all. I just created this thread as a way for me and others from BB to touch base; all discussions about anything else can take place in the other threads

I assume many people who were longstanding members may feel a bit lost. So of course you are welcome on the site, here. Since this seems like a topic people want to discuss, I'll allow the thread to remain as long as things still happy, haha. If arguments happen, gonna have to lock it. I want all of us to get along and have a good time when we're here! K? It's totally understandable that you guys would want to reconnect. I would too!

I know how that Silum rumour got around...he himself btw also considered it, so it's not something that just started out of thin air. It was something he wrote, which Buffy in the end 'whatever'ed, logged out of the IRC and then a minute later the Boards were closed.

Silum is also a member here, but I don't think he's logged in for some time.

Silum is also a member here, but I don't think he's logged in for some time. I think quite a few BBers are members here already. Thanks for the welcome.

Hey guys, it's Nate. I remember I was about to sign up here a while ago actually, but I ended up forgetting the site... then when I thought about it later, I couldn't remember the name of the site, searched "buffy boards" online (just in general, you know, for a Buffy related forum) and ended up finding the BB and just assumed that's the one I initially saw.
But as long as I get to chat about Buffy and related things with other fans, I'm glad to be here as well.

Hey guys, I'm Jess and while I've not been a member on Buffy Boards - I just wanted to say welcome to SlayAlive, and I hope you DO like it here and you like us - because this place is really wonderful. I hope it becomes more than a temporary site for you guys ;D I can imagine how hard it'd be to not have the first forum/main forum you belong to available to you! If SA was gone, even for a while, I'd feel so very lost and joining a different forum would be really intimidating. Some of you BBers suggested anxiety that SlayAlivers wouldn't like BBers on principal (in a PM)- so I thought I'd pop in and say, hopefully with the backing of all the other SAers, that we have no prejudice against BBers and are more than excited to have new members joining us - not caring where you're from!

Nice of you to say! I suppose it's about as intimidating as a message board can be, but the thing that gets me is that I was so very used to how BB is set up. I haven't really figured all the ins and outs of SA yet, but I'm sure I'll get around to it in no time. And even when BB reopens I'll be happy to have dual membership.

Haha, it's funny SA layout confuses you, because the few times I looked on BB I was so scared about the layout - I didn't get it So I guess it works both ways! I think SA layout will reveal it's self to be pretty commonsensey soon enough. You have the comics at the top with figs and books sections. Then a section for all things screen Whedon, with the major stuff split into sections. Then fun random stuff - Bronze for anything that doesn't fit elsewhere, Radio for music, and Movies & TV all in the name. Then the area for games and stuff. Stadium for forum games, Contest area for comps and the SlayAlive Challenges (Big role-play games that are super fun and I suggest signing up for!) Then you have the FAN section, which is all about what we do (Customs, Graphics, FanFic etc) and the Comm section which is for board and community stuff (Rules, Selling/Buying, Conventions etc). Sorry if that was redundant but I think after you have a quick look in each main topic you'll be comfortable with where everything is. Just trying to help
