He thought up the site during a discussion on Buffistas.org, a community of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" enthusiasts, a group of whom became the first tropers.
At least it's not a link, is it?
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Should we consider blocking registration for a couple of days?
Or maybe that's a little paranoid? The article went up yesterday and there hasn't been some sort of deluge.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
After re-reading old Bureaucracy, I can say that we were fine when Joss was breaking news here, so we'll be fine now.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it. So funny to me that I saw the story linked by someone totally unconnected to buffistas, though.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That is funny.
Really, how much of a draw would "Buffy the Vampire Slayer enthusiasts" be to the general public in 2010? They probably assume the site is long gone.

But that's true, right? And it's pretty much what was said in the io9 article too?
It's true if Fast Eddie is Gus (which he is/was), and it wasn't a group of three people who were all Buffistas (which it wasn't).

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
