Gotta admit, the BB layout confused the heck out of me, too. It's probably just a "fandom culture" difference. Heh. I'd like to echo Secret Scoobies welcome to all the BBers hanging over here. Even if it's only a vacation spot for you, you're most welcome! I hope you have fun and if you have a question, feel free to PM me.  |

I'm here for roll call as well. It's nice having another place to chat away about stuff. And I love that there are lots of active comps for arty stuff to.

Sounds great. I think that when(if?) the Buffy Boards come back up I'll probably still hang out here a lot. Still getting used to it all, but I'm enjoying myself nonetheless!

Hey Nate! It's nice to see some familar people. And thanks for the welcome, Secret Scoobie. I admit, with all that's gone on lately in BB, the daunting task of learning how to navigate an entirely new forum is not on my list of fun things to do - but hey, I'm not willing to give up talking all things Buffy just yet.  I know one can get a Watcher on here, to help with any questions one might have. And yes I also find the layout here very strange. In time I'm sure I'll get used to it. |

Hey Nate! And thanks for the welcome, Secret Scoobie. I admit, with all that's gone on lately in BB, the daunting task of learning how to navigate an entirely new forum is not on my list of fun things to do - but hey, I'm not willing to give up talking all things Buffy just yet. I know one can get a Watcher on here, to help with any questions on might have. Yup! Request a Watcher[/b][/size] The boards themselves are organized by category, then by board topic: Category: Collectibility Boards: - Buffy Season 8 (comic)
- Angel: On-Going series (comic)
- Figures and Collectibles
- The Library (all other novels, non-canon comics, magazines, etc)
All boards in the Collectibility category are related because it's all different kinds of Buffyverse merchandise! Things we consumers pay for and naturally would want to share and discuss. Season 8 is our most popular board which is why this category is at the top! Category: Whedonvision Boards: - Joss & Company (non-verse related topics i.e- The Guild, other Joss projects, other cast projects)
- Angel (an all-encompassing Angel tv show board. Any topic can be posted here)
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer (an all-emcompassing BtVS tv show/film board. Any topic can be posted here as long as it isn't Season 8)
- Dollhouse
- Dr. Horrible
- Serenity & Firefly (all encompassing board for both the series and film)
All boards in Whedonvision pertain to past and present shows, films, and so forth. The Buffy the Vampire Slayer board also has sub-boards for Episode re-watch (discussions). Category: Non-Hellmouth Variety Boards: - The Bronze (off topic board where anything goes, music has it's own board. Same for other shows and film)
- Radio Sunnydale (Music only discussions)
- Movies & TV (topics about any non-whedonverse show, film or otherwise go in here)
All boards in this category are considered off topic since they aren't centered around the 'verse. But these boards are still pretty popular. Category: Interactive (meaning games!) Boards: - SlayChallenges and Contests (this board houses all of our moderated games and contests, usually prizes are involved)
- Slayer Stadium (non-moderated, simple fun games!)
- Role-Playing Games
The interactive category is pretty self explanatory...you interact in multiple games and get to know your fellow members! Category: Fandom Boards: - Character Appreciation (basically a board for shipper threads, single character appreciation threads, etc. Anything goes too!)
- Customizer's Coven (a board where members can show off custom figures and such. Sculptures, plushies, etc)
- Fan Art & Graphics (banners, requests, tutorials, avatars, wallpapers, etc)
- Fan Fiction & Literature (fan fic, poetry, original stories, etc)
The Fandom category is also self explanatory. All boards pertain to a certain area of the fandom: art, fic, creations, and shipping. Category: Community Boards: - Introduce Yourself! (Post an introduction topic to tell us about yourself)
-Get a Watcher Sub-board (Request a Watcher who will guide you through the forum and be an instant friend/mentor!)
- The Hyperion (your basic help, rules and faq board. Find topics pertaining to site maintenance and stuff like that. Ask questions as well)
- The Chain (a board where our affiliates can post threads "spamming" to let us know what is going on, on their site)
- The Magic Box (a buy/sell/trade board for members to communicate and make deals with each other)
- The Hellmouth (conventions and events board)
The Community category simply houses boards dedicated to things pertaining to either the forum community, or the fans as a group (like conventions). So you'll find help topics in the Help Board, Newbies can post in the Introductions Board, as well as get a Watcher. People can trade or sell things with one another in the Magic Box board. And our affiliates have a place to talk about what they are up to. I hope this detailed list helps some! |

Hey guys! Sad news? I tried to get onto the Buffy-Boards FB and apparently I am no longer a member, so I couldn't view the page. Did Buffy post something? I fear the board is closed for good, eh? I figured. I'm glad you are here, SweetMissEdith! I missed your pretty Sprusilla banner. How are you liking it on this forum? |

Oh, I just now noticed this thread. (I've been too absorbed with the season 8 forum lately).
I joined BuffyBoards last November and was pretty active for a while, but really tailed off quite a bit over the last few months.
Seems like some sort of explanation would have been nice for the 99.9% of us who had nothing to do with whatever blowup triggered the shutdown. But, whatever.

Well, I hope you guys enjoy your new forum! But also hope you stick around here as well. It'd be sad to lose all the nice new people we've had on here in the past month (and some longer!) |

I pointed out in a thread over at AD that there should be some kind of confirmation from B herself so we can all move on. And I plan on sticking around here, I like having another place to put my art and see others art. I'm not big on discussion, I pop in occasionally, however I do read the threads. It's nice seeing different views on episodes. |

It's nice seeing different views on episodes. Our Fan-Art board is pretty active here. We also have have 4 art contests that run monthly as well, if you want to check them out: Bannerama: (Members make a banner, based on a theme, and then the forum votes on their favorite) *Current submission period ends tomorrow* Layoutarama: (Similar set up as Bannerama, only the winning entry is used as our forum layout for a week) *Current submission period ends next Sunday* Coverama: (Similar to Bannerama, only the themes are more dymanic; comic covers, movie posters, book covers, CD covers, magazine covers, etc.) *Next submission period begins Monday* Last Icon Maker Standing: (Members make avatars and compete in a point based contest) *Sign-ups currently closed* Be sure and check them out if you are into making graphics and stuff. |
