Because that boxset would be hella expensive and probably wouldn't sell well.

It would be a lot of money, but other shows had a complete box set and still did well.

Like what? I'm not sure there are nearly 300-episode series out there with "Complete Series" box sets.

Star Trek: The Next Generation and the G1 Transformers were able to put all of the DVD's into a single box set then I don't see why Funi can't do the same for DBZ?

It's about retailer shelf space and price points.

Madman was able to put the entire orange brick collection into one boxset, so it's definitely possible.

As for the presence of DBZ Uncensored folk, Psaros has not been active in Dragon Ball for many years. One of our members, Castor Troy, has been kind enough to host the site on his own website (http://dbzu.3gkai.com) and even managed to contribute a new piece of content: an interview with Psaros 10 years after he closed down the site.

Aside from that, user GS7X7 was one of the members of the DBZ Otaku Alliance, the site that hosted DBZ Uncensored immediately after it closed down, as well as one of the contributors to DBZ Uncensored 2, a sequel site hosted on the DBZOA, which attempted to continue where Psaros left off.
This is what separates Kanzenshuu from other DB sites and always will.. thanks for the link. My nostalgia is exploding and that interview was really very interesting.
