Yeah, it's sad, but it is the way of things really. I'm sure that there will be slightly more activity once Korra starts back up again. But, it will never reach its former glory sadly. But its good to hear from people. Glad to hear your daughter is well Mari, she's adorable.
I'm in graduate school currently to become a physician assistant. So of course I'm crazy busy, but I still try to check in ever once in a while. Just not much to talk about it seems.

Yeah, it's sad, but it is the way of things really. No, not really, there really is no reason for this inactivity like there is no reason for the inactivity on my bbs. There should at least be some activity even if it's one post a day or week. The difference being is that the people on my bbs are idiots who moved on to a board just because it involves feces in the name.

Aww, Mari, she looks so sweet. I'm so glad you two are still together, and am wishing you both all the best.
Spode, I appreciate your vigor, but if a new animated series and direct graphic novel sequels couldn't bring back the activity, I'm not sure what else can. Although ATLA's 10th anniversary is coming up next year and maybe/probably Nickelodeon will be doing something with that, so that could bring up our population, but otherwise....
This was great when it was great, and I'm incredibly happy that it brought people together and created memories, provided temporary escapes, and stepping stones to new opportunities or relationships. But everything has it's time, and this is definitely DH's Ghost Town period.
Personally, I've pretty much moved on. Although between work and family health issues, I rarely even turn on my computer. Whatever free time I do have for the internet, I'd rather spend checking on Tumblr and Nimona. I'm sorry. DH Fansite-wise, I have no interest in working on sprites or the numerous outdated content pages that make me weep just thinking about how much needs to be done. And I'm really not that excited about the upcoming Korra seasons, unless Koh shows up, or maybe the Royal Fire family, that's it. Or Teo and the Northern Air Temple's legacy, if there is one.
Right now what keeps me coming back is the pumpkin carving contest, and deleting the forum spam bot accounts. (that's so terrible, I'm so sorry!) I wish I still cared about keeping this place going and updating content pages and being a part of the ATLA world, but, I don't. I wish LoK made me want to discuss things like ATLA did, but it doesn't, and when it does, they're rants because I don't like how the characters are acting and no one calls each other out on their crap and it's just... negative, and I have enough of that elsewhere.
I will try though, posting on the other board topics, like shows and books. Breaking inactivity is a group effort, so I will add my worthless two cents to the pot, and maybe it will help add up to something.
(And congrats ILZ, best of luck with your studies!)

My cousin is a PA ILZ she loves it, good luck with your studies! I really want to get my MS in psychology education but graduate programs are so expensive!
Thanks for the wishes everyone. I can't believe how big she is.

Let me add myself to the headcount (for now at least). I still have contact with a few people from back in the day. I'm trying to get them to come back too. But don't expect wonders. We have to be frank about the situation. Everyone is older and has moved on in life. That much is true. But aside of that; fora seem a bit redundend as well. There are so many alternative mediums now a day. Going from stuff like reddit, 4chan, memecenter to tumblr and twitter.

I'm in and out these days, but I always come back eventually. Glad to see the forum is still alive and kicking!

well look who it is. You know, I was over in your part of the world about a year ago, Ignite. n_n went to Belgium, met Kohana and then we roadtripped it to Amsterdam before I headed back to Italy for my Erasmus/exchange. lawlz.

It looks like I am the only true fan left which is incredibly sad. Yeah, tumblr is VERY active within Korra and ATLA if you're looking for activity. I'm not sure why, but perhaps it has to do with this idea of live/instant blogging? It's a shame that Tumblr is a horrid place.

I'm not sure why, but perhaps it has to do with this idea of live/instant blogging? It's a shame that Tumblr is a horrid place. Ouch... a little harsh to say you're the only true fan left. I follow stuff the best I can. I just don't have all the time I used to have like when I was 15. To be honest, a lot of the original fans have aged up and I know we have new parents on the websites, as well as people caught up in study abroad or university or even a new career. Life catches up sometimes. I disagree that tumblr is a horrid place. There's a ton of crappy things about it (generally speaking) or fans that I'm not too keen on, but I think that any kind of open website that allows members to be from any part of the world or any age group run the risk of letting you encounter gobs of people who are just not your cup of tea. I'd be lying if I said I ~*loved*~ every member or blog page on Tumblr. But the beauty of that which I maybe don't have accessible to me on a website like DH is that I can block them and/or tags and not look at the stuff I don't want to look at, like hate on Mako or anti-Zutara stuff, etc. Tumblr has a lot of creative minds posting fan works such as music mixes, fan art, fanfiction, or even posting theories and exchanging ideas!

Same! Also I forgot that Shockie (I think?) made those sprites of me for your profile and I got really freaked out for a second, oh man.
edit: Oh nooo, my sprites are broken. They were the coolest!
