i guess you guys didnt notice yet but the last link of the affiliates doesn't work anymore so you might want to remove that one
as well the affiliate called Hou Tian isn't linking back to this place, as far as i can see
just letting you know
btw how come this place got so inactive?

Aww, The Last MiSTer finally went down? That's too bad. Thanks for the heads up though; I'll remove the link. As for Hou Tian, they switched sites last year and seem to be missing a lot of the affiliates they used to have. I'll look into it.
As for this site, people came back when Korra was airing and the SDCC news, but otherwise it's been in cruise mode for a while. People have work/school/family/etc, not to mention that we're all years older from when this place was booming. Without something constant to tie everyone together, or something to bring in new people, it's natural that things would fade. Kinda like an old town, aw. At least, that's how I see it.
It's slow, but people still come around. The long wait between Korra Book 2 won't quite help, but I'm sure things will pick up again when there's new stuff to talk about.

no problem and why don't you guys try to affiliate with other forums besides avatar ones? its too bad avatar is such a great cartoon and it bugs me people only go to RP forums these days they forget about forums like this just general, fan , boards/forums

I think we used to have a non-Avatar affiliate some years ago, but I'm not entirely sure. It's worth looking into, though.
And yeah. I think part of that reason though is because the RP gives new storylines and characters to explore, while you can only discuss Zuko's betrayal or which character you like best for so long before it runs into the ground. More of the ATLA fanlife outside of RP I think rests on fanart/fics, finding parallels/easter eggs, and just expanding on characters' pasts/futures, and of course the ships. Which is a lot of fun, but also requires a lot of time and creativity. But unless there are people to share in it and discuss it with you, then it kind of feels like you're talking to yourself. Sort of a catch-22, really.

it sure is if you affiliate with forums that are also about cartoons im sure some members on those forums will are interested in aang and korra and might join us here
or anime related forums like naruto ... etc
teen related forums is also a good idea... and of course avatar / korra rp related forums as last but not least x]
maybe also a good idea to ask a popular avatar related tumblr to promote this place? not sure if you will succeseed but worth trying perhaps?

Those are all good options to consider. I'll look into it and bring it up with the staff.

Yeah. It's tough when there's nothing Avatar-related going on, but there will always be a place for fandom.

Yeah, this isn't something that's going to happen immediately. #1 unwritten rule about this forum: everything takes a while. ^^; We're all somewhat busy and spread out atm, so just the discussion itself will take some time. I'm sorry, but bureaucracy! We have it.

Would you like me to kick the admin's butt at Hou Tian to get a link back? I am a member...and ex-mod...there.

That would be great Nandi, thanks. I'd been looking for a staff list there, but hadn't yet found one that worked.
