we have to realize some points
except for blogs, Tvcom Mods prefer one to be on topic "for the forum", not off topic
we are not able to get much "new blood" as not many are discovering avatar than coming here
since there is not new blood, most of the "ON TOPIC" views and such of Avatar has been superficially discussed
we go too much on "tvcom rules" on mind, and thus directors close old threads, like it was done with an old thread, which I gave it a possible spark plug and put it on a possible new spin of it, but was soon after closed (we should give allowances if old old threads are bumped up)
the set of mind of TVcom mods means that except for the "offical movie discussion thread", they would discourage talking and discussing about the movie, instead they want the more open discussions to go to TLA board at movietome
until the movie is close to come, "not rabid fans" would not be going "wow, avatar is back", and when they do(and also new fans), it might spark a lil the ATLA board here, but most of them would be going to movietome and to the TLA board, than make home there
the only way to go might be to use tvcom tools for finding information of the episodes only, and to be more diverse and also be part of other shows boards, and be more "blog active" so we can keep "in touch" with each other if we don't have a forum to interact outside of being "on topic" about ATLA
reasons more people who are true avatards have gone over to the refuge are 1- they can interact freely about thing off topic (not ATLA), and able to go off topic in a thread 2- there is a sense of community with each other, we just not fans of ATLA being together in a board, we are a family in there. talking about countles things freely, not just ATLA or TLA
