It's strange...

This is what I never wanted to write. But I must. Because something happened that I never wanted to happen. It's this forum. It has always been fun to be here. The people are really really nice, you can talk with them for hours, among all the users who know what Avatar means for you (because they feel the same) I feel understood.

Now it's not that I lost interest to the movie. Or the language. I think the language is quite exciting, still I did not manage to learn much of it because I can't think of learning all that pronounciations without another person. Being inside a crisis? No. Staying too long here? Maybe.

So, what's strange? Well, I can tell you. This is related to (nearly) all of my friends on this board. Nobody of them had left the forum. Some have less time to spend here. This is NO problem for me, I understand that school's important. Or that your job's very stressful. Or whatever reason you got. Though it's a problem that those that are here - regularly, everyday, going here for the same reasons I got - are not posting. Everyone spends here at least an hour. If not, even more. In that time, all they do is to post into 5 threads. After that, nothing comes. If you write them a PM: no answer. Maybe you'll get one in 2-3 hours. 2-3 hours. Know what this means? That means that I'm already gone when you're answering. Anyway, I know that the main discussions should be held on the forum. But if no one talks, nothing can happen. Where are the days when we posted 15 pages per day in the "Can we get..."-thread? Or 5 in the party thread, having discussions about the music we've been listening. The days when I couldn't wait to get online, excited about what Tawteng blew up this time.

Note that this mainly affects this boring spam section. But I also don't see much activity in other parts that are more "easy". The parts where you could have shorter discussions. Thanks for reading this, sorry if I wasted your time.

Oel ngati kameie ma oeyä 'eylan. I've been noticing this too, and sometimes I feel the same way  :-\
I remember coming home from school and there being between 20-30 updated threads on the updates page every day

I can explain why I've been less active in the posting area lately.
putting it simply I can't think of what to post. I've been spending most of the last month having difficulty of even following a chain of thought.
I dunno what it is but now I am almost permanently tired. Doesn't matter how much I sleep I just can't keep awake the next day. So I just hang about posting whenever I can string some thoughts together...

This is true. I feel like I'm waiting for the phone to ring.

See... I actually am too busy during the day (Monday-Friday, that is) to be able to get on the forums even once!  So that's one reason why I may not be making posts.

And I can't even get on during the week.

Lol. I was just about to make this topic myself!! But yeah, it's natural for forums that get their life from movies and such to fade. It's just nature running it's course. Some will lose interest in the movie, others won't. Even those that don't will simply run out of things to say eventually.

The best you can do long term is try to bring the friendships you've forged here outside the forum in some way. Maybe if you have facebook or aim, invite your friends. Or plan a meet up or something. Get involved outside the forum but NEVER LEAVE THE FORUM!!

I have found that doing things outside the forum makes it easier to talk and post while here.

The great thing about this forum is that it can keep on giving well after you've left it for good. I've made two awesome friends here that I hope to someday meet (I'm looking at you Hufwe Ta'em and Kxeyey).


;D ;D

I've been here only a week, so I can't comment on trends, but loyalty is always a good thing. I know what you're talking about, exactly. I have highschool, but I try my best to get on.

Eanikran

I get on whenever I can, even at school from my ipod (thank Eywa they don't block it  :D ). srane, I realise that I post more in the spam board than I really should, but I've made a lot of great friends on here in a week than I probably would IRL in a week, many of which I too hope to meet at some point. you guys have really changed my life ma oeyä smuk. I will be here for as long as this forum lives.  ;D

Maybe Avatar 2 is calling! :P

I don't know guys, but how can we get back into material? I mean: Didn't we want to start an RPG? Where could we get 2 Earthbenders and 1 Firebender?

Well, I don't want it to be that spontaneous. We still need to plan one or two things. I'll PM you.

You can have a nutter with a machine gun if you need one...
Or just a rifle...
Or a bow I'm not too picky. :D

Seems like a pretty simple equation for me ATM....

What I hate is people not continuing RP's, they just go blank... how does this happen? its a short RP how can you not think of anything.

I might start my own RP if any of you are interested... how bout one of the creation of the RDA?????

Think of this place as an extended family.

You don't have to visit every day, but drop your buds a PM when do.

Stay in touch, but there is not need to obsess over traffic.

One day Avatar 2 will be out, and everyone will be buzzing around here again.

Until then, it is just about talking to people who have a common interest, and if Avatar has the life that star wars or star trek does, you will be glad you kept in touch, because you would be able to say that you were here in the beginning, when the fandom started, and the most die hard of them were here making things fun.

Wise words that I'll keep in mind.

Yeah, this is one of the very first Avatar fan forums, and I have no doubt that Avatar will reach the same hights as Star Wars, LotR etc. At least when all sequels are out. :)

Next big milestone will probably be Avatar 2, and I don't think that this will die before that ;)
