bon, the front page looks like gibberish. Just a bunch of interests thrown at the screen. The information (lack of ) architecture pains me.
I just don't use the front page. I guess there's an argument that architecture will affect how we psychologically compartmentalize the community-- it kinda did in WX-- but message center obviates any organization. I would plead not to compartmentalize message center.
Now that I'm thinking about it-- sorry, hazard of the job-- I can see how it would affect my use of threads I'm NOT subscribed to. Some threads I would probably never click on unless I saw they had new posts when I used the front page. But again, the risk is a bit contingent to raise an issue about it.
Are you asking about the OT/ness that is my head? Minearverse isn't a show thread to me, so I wasn't thinking of it that way.
I've been loving the fact that the closed thread folder has moved threads out of my general daily view somewhere else.
I like the idea of all the TV threads living together in a folder because easier to find, or to ignore... would the angel/buffy threads be there too?

Foldering doesn't do that.
Some threads I would probably never click on unless I saw they had new posts when I used the front page.
And some threads I know exist I have to ^F to find on the damned page -- I think it goes both ways.
I haven't watched VM, yet. The enthusiasm for the show around these parts have put it on my "when I get a chance" viewing list. I favor a place for the VMiacs to discuss the show.
Not sure where I sit on the TV folder thing. I'm happy enough with the way the threads are organized now. I'll listen to the pros and cons on that one.
How is Boxed Set not live and active?
Boxed Set isn't as intense; it isn't all-obsessive all the time. Back in the day, the Buffy thread was still racking up oodles of posts on Friday after a new ep.

Back in the day we were a Buffy board. Right now we're talking about serving slices of the population -- I doubt it could be (even with our greatly increased numbers) be like that again.
I think that boxed set is fairly active but that VM doensn't really fit in the group of shows regularly discussed in Boxed Set. (Smallville, SG1, SGA, Dr. Who and BSG are most commonly discussed there. . .well, Smallville mostly in the past.)
Yeah, for whatever reason when VM posts start up in Boxed Set it seems a much more jarring transition than discussion of other shows I don't watch regularly like BSG. If there are enough people interested in discussing it to make a separate thread worthwhile, I'm all for it.

A new (non-animated) Buffyverse show on network television. IJS.

Am I supposed to not doubt this will happen?
One show to rule them all,
One show to find them,
One show to bring them all
And in the interwebs bind them
Not only do I doubt the existence of the show, I doubt the unifying power.
