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?"
Timelies all!
That story will. not. go. away, will it?

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
Yeah, I mean...that's not wrong, at least...(not in a "SOMEONE ON THE INTERNET IS WRONG!" way that some of the OTHER stuff he's said (HI GUS WE SEE YOU) is wrong like a wrong thing)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister keeps trying to stress to me how devoted Arrested Development fans still are. I think she's not been listening for the past how many years.
But I'd guess most people who need an online Buffy home would go somewhere where there's more actual Buffy talk, instead of just Buffy people. Like TWOP, maybe.

This is not the 'community of Buffy the Vampire Slayer enthusiasts' you're looking for.

The site's founder is a 55-year-old computer programmer near Rice Lake, Wis., named Fast Eddie -- not his real name but his online "handle," which he asked to use for this article for fear that drawing too much attention to himself would go against the site's collaborative spirit.
Interview must have been done a little while ago -- he turned 56 last week. (OK, I'm being a bit creepy researchy. I was in "want to figure it out!" mode last week.)
