The Comfort Zone: My Favourite Part Of BF

[Cori]

Hello party people!

Let's be honest. All of us have sections and parts of BF that we love more than others. Sections that we visit daily, sections in which we can spend hours and where every new post makes us giddy and eager to check it out.

For me personally, my two favourite parts of BF are the Other Shows section and the VIP section. After having spent years discussing Buffy and Angel on BuffyWorld, I feel as if I've said everything there is to say about these two shows. So I love having the opportunity to post about other shows, most of all Supernatural, Smallville, Heroes, Nip/Tuck, 24, Grey's Anatomy and most recently also Chuck and Gossip Girl. I find posting about shows that are still airing much more satisfying in a way because you can go wild with your theories and speculations. So I feel right at home in the Other Shows section.

As for the VIP section, that's where I just hang out and chat with my friends. It's a place to get to know people better and to have discussions about just about anything. It is definitely my personal comfort zone here on the forum.

What about you? What are your favourite parts/sections of BF? Which parts are the reason you keep coming back here? Which sections do you visit constantly?

Let's hear your thoughts on this!

I totally agree! I don't spend much time posting about the Jossverse anymore because I have pretty much exhausted my thoughts on them. I haven't even watched either one in quite some time! ALthough I did watch a few Angels eps a couple weeks ago.

I do like Other Shows a lot because there is some really awesome tv going on right now! Great new shows like Terminator and Chuck and Pushing Daisies....as well as established shows like Battlestar Galactica and Weeds.

And lots of people know I am in the Games forum a lot. We have fun in there and actually do have some good convos in there. And good-natured arguments too.

Oh I definately agree. I've exhausted all my thoughts and theories on the Buffyverse.
Now I love reading up on the Other shows. Usually I don't post that much about them anymore. With SN I don't have much to add since Jo, Chris, Cori and Lyn always portray their thoughts with such beauty. But I love reading their opinions and thus I spend quite some time there

Up till 3 years ago I used to spend my time mostly in fanart, that slowly went away and in the last year I've not been there more then maybe 10 times... unless it was for the HTML help thread.

So most of my time I spend in the VIP section, where I meet up with the people I care about And that's also why I come back every day, need my updates on my friends

[vampmogs]

Well I'm the odd one out here! I spend most of the time in the Btvs and Ats section of the site! Everyone would have heard a lot of my arguments and opinions over and over again, I must have talked about the same subjects with different and even the same people, over and over again.. but it never gets old for me ... except maybe the "why isn't there three slayers?" topic, which I just can't take anymore!

My favourite section on BuffyForums definitely has to be the 'Buffy Season 8' section of the site, I'm just loving all the discussion in there, it's great to have new Btvs and talk about it all over again, and it's so much fun speculating on what is going to happen next! I've come to know a few of the members that post in there and their likes and dislikes, I can usually pretty much guess what someone is going to write when I see their name before I even read it.

Hopefully this year Buffyforums will get a 'Dollhouse' section and I can practically live in there as well

No you're not vampmogs. Or you are and I'm odd also
My fav sections are the Buffy/Angel ones... obviously more into reading and posting about the new stuff. I'm not as comfy in the VIP section actually. Also the fan art section is great to post or just look around.
I post about season 8 on a few forums when I'm bored, but this site I have to say has the most intelligent thoughts.

[Veverka]

I'm another VIP thread girl... before I was VIP it took me a LONG time to get many posts- posting intelligently and thoroughly is something I need energy for, so I'm not always up to that, but I'm always up for a chat/wave.

I love looking at the fanart, and fanfic is still a home, but it's been a while since I've been hardcore there...

[sherrilina]

And lots of people know I am in the Games forum a lot. We have fun in there and actually do have some good convos in there. And good-natured arguments too.

Lol, me too--I do spend most of my time in either the games forum (which is lots of fun, though sometimes there are TOO many games to keep up with, IMO! ), or in the VIP section! Though I do spend some time elsewhere as well, since I managed to accumulate 400 posts here...

Yeah, I was more into posting in the Buffyverse stuff back on BW before I got my VIP....I tried to restart my fave ship thread here, but even lost the energy to keep that up......but I do love chatting so much in the VIP chatters thread, some great discussions every now and then....

So yeah, VIP and Games for me! Though I do visit other Buffyverse sections every now and then, as well as current TV shows (though I'm not too much of a TV junkie, so not too many of those....).

[Smth_Blue]

I live in Fanart, sometimes pop in Fanfiction and lurk everywhere )

[Francy]

Well, I'm not as active on the forum as I used to be...however, I can't let a day pass without my usual stop and the usual chat with my friends there!
So I'd say that the Vip Section is definetely my favourite part of the forum, as I spend most of my time online there.
I also love the Fanart Section, I love to check out everyone's art, even though I'm not arting anymore! I miss that, and I miss being part (even if just a little part) of the fanart community.

I used to play around in the game section, on BW..but now I'm over that, just like I'm over the Buffyverse (hence my non-activity in the Buffy-related discussion threads.) A part I always check out and where I'd like to be more active (damn laziness) is the Other Show section...I'm such a tv-show whore, I watch so many shows! So it's nice to read people's opinion about them.

LOL Me Three, I've really gotten to know the People in there and as Vampmogs said I can usually tell what People are gonna vote for/not vote for as soon as I see their Name an Vice Versa. Other than that I have a recurring seires in the Fanfic thread and dont really go much of anywhere else.

[tangent]

For me it's fic, vip and other shows (especially Doc Who) with the occaisional dip into Buffy if something interesting crops up. At the moment I'm also enjoying the season 8 threads which throws ups ome very interesting theories and speculations.

Lol I know--hence Nostalgia saying he wanted you to come vote in the "Passion vs. The Body" contest b/c he wanted Passion to win, Pandora's "Ben-call" to help The Body, and Jenni and I trying to save "Inside Out" from LRae!

Good times....

Like most of the older Buffyworld members I stopped posting in the Whedonverse long ago, because I felt that I have nothing more to say there and was tired of having the same discussions over and over again and to be honest, I moved away from Whedon shows over the last couple of years.

I enjoy thinking about fresh topics and shows instead, so the 'Other Shows' section is definitely where I lurk most, but of course I am at home in the Supernatural thread, which is the only section that I regularly post in apart from the Supernatural fanart section.

As a fanartist the fanart section is my 2nd home on the board and I love the open, helpful and friendly fanart community we established over the years. I love to see new artists come and grow into their own style and the challenges and battles on BF have a long tradition and are really original and fun.

And of course I the VIP section, where I come every day to meet the people that became such good friends over the last years. The personal bonds that we knit are just as important as any real life friendship I have and are proof that online friendships can be just as close and real, even if you don't see each other face to face!

There are so many of you who have met, and I know one day I'll meet some of you too!

Do you reckon you'll get into 'Dollhouse' or is it more Whedon in general that you're moving away from now?

I can only speak for myself, but I think it's just the shows, I just need to find something fresh and I totally think that when Dollhouse comes by I'll be quite inspired to post.

Oh, I hope to meet some of the VIPs as well. I already met Francy and Kirsi (a member that isn't active anymore) and I really hope to meet especially the UK folks, since that is probably the only area that I can realistically think of travelling to with relative ease LOL

I have to admit that I developed a general dislike for Joss Whedon as a show creator that makes me hesitant to get into any other show that he might invent. Now, what I read about the premise of 'Dollhouse' in itself didn't really tickle me, although I love Eliza Dushku. I know though that if it becomes a huge success on the board and most of my friends here get into it, I might still watch it in order to be able to have an opinion and talk with them about it. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Ah k. That's what I was wondering, wether or not it was Joss' style of show some may have been moving away from or just because his shows that have been out there have been out for a while now and have all ended.

That's what I did with SN, thought I'd give it a watch so I could figure out what on earth people were talking about in the VIP section

You don't have to reply if you don't want to and I hope you don't mind my asking, but what is it about Joss Whedon that you've grown to dislike? I'm not asking this so I can rant and defend him or anything, I'm just curious

I can write you a PM if you want, but I'd rather not post it here because I really am not keen on being jumped on in this thread and having to defend myself all day long from Whedon fans

If you have time I'll be happy to read a PM from you lol, I'd love to hear your opinion on him. And I promise I won't try and defend him and jump down your throat lol. It's one of the reasons I promised I wouldn't in my post above, because I understand someone could be hesitant in saying anything negative about him on these boards

But only if you have time
