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.
Slap my hand now!

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

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

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.

What is even happening?
Faith and Wesley roam the country side, naked, looking for people to torture.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They have a pet penguin.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
They have a pet penguin.
I bet it's the evil penguin from The Wrong Trousers.

And I'd go so far as to say it's probably likelier than a new Star Trek show. Wouldn't even need any of the old cast. The world is already built, and yea, it has its fans.

Still not with the assuaging, but it's beyond the point.
I think the Buffistas have a Buffyverse legacy, and expecting to duplicate parts of that are impossible without time travel or a reset button. It's too different now.
