Whatever happened to the "reboot" of Reboot that was in the works a while back? Did it ever get off the ground? Could this be it?

I recently watched reboot and man I don't understand what the whole shows hype is about. I remember as a kid watching an episode and hating it but decided to check it out from all the praise it got online.
Season 1 is unwatchable, Season 2 slightly more watchable but still unwatchable. Seasons 2 and 4 are both watchable and have some pretty cool ideas however theres still a bit of crap here and there and while those two seasons are good thats it, they are good not amazing and they don't redeem the first two seasons.
Not to mention the show didn't make sense in a lot of stuff, I guess you're not supposed to over analyze it but that would be the only thing that would make the show more interesting...
Anyways after investing so much time on the show I did grow to like the characters, I even bought a Dot and Enzo toy at a store two weeks ago. I did enjoy the show but I was expecting something extremely good based on all the praise it got like I mentioned, and its just an average series overall, not bad but nothing special either. Only reason I can think of people liking this so much is they saw it as kids and it was the first show they got that actually had continuity (later on at least).
But yeah, I'd definitely would watch a new season or movie. In fact I remember reading here on Toon Zone that they were making new stuff on it however I haven't been able to find any information on that and no one seems to know about it.

I've been rewatching the show lately. It's crazy good. Kinda flat at the beginning, but that was due to the crushing weight of ABC BS'nP (which was mocked several times on the show itself).
Back when it was new and Season 1 was all there was, I just liked to look at it. I watched it for the sake of having a computer-graphics show every week, back when CGI was rare and fascinating.
But even now, when the graphics could be easily replicated on a PS2, it still looks amazing. The history of CGI over the past two decades has been "more realism, more realism." ReBoot goes the opposite direction and it's infinitely more interesting for it. They used the "inside a computer" excuse to do all sorts of wild things. Metallic hair! Glowing orange static hair! Box bodies! Whatever!
And I still love all the crazy dizzying camera tricks. They could do things no other show at the time was capable of, and they darn well knew it. Facial expressions could have more subtlety and tense situations could be rendered more scarily. I still look away when Megabyte opens his mouth wide in "Infected" because that just looked freaky (and it was the only time he did it too).
Each season was better than the last (except for Season 4). I didn't even know there was a Season 3 until after the turn of the millennium and I had to wait even longer to see it, but the overarcing epic they concocted was amazing. This is one of the animation hallmarks of the 90's, and the best thing to ever come out of Canada. Period.

According to their Twitter page it's the countdown to the new website. It'll no doubt contain a new look, feel and content.

Yes I noticed this like 2 days ago! I really hope that they will give us season sets and that movie trilogy. ReBoot was so freakin awesome! I'm currently watching the episodes online.
