    Unfortunately, threads aren't marked for "Nick bashing" like they are for spoilers, and a large majority of threads contain at least some of it. How would you have me avoid it? Also, you grossly exaggerate what I say. If I was as disrespectful as that, then I would expect someone to tell me to shut-up.

    If I made a thread trying to be thankful to Nickelodeon for supporting Avatar I'd get bashed for it, but everyone still has a right to their opinion, right?

    Your reasoning doesn't really make any sense. No one would respect me enough to not bash Nick in every single thread. Why is there a double standard that makes it not okay for me to say that I like Nick in every single thread?

    You're a Libra aren't you? LOL

    As in the Zodiac sign?

    Yes exactly! You were born in October? LOL

    Has anyone thought of a positive aspect for them taking the july 14th date off of nick.com. I mean they could ( gets on knees and prays) take off the july 14th date cause they realized their stupidity and wanted to air avatar sooner but havent realized exactly how soon yet

    You're right. I mean nothing is for certain. So literally with Nick anything can happen. I've given up trying to figure out NOL. (Nickelodeon-Oxymoronic-Logic)

    lol, try saying "Nickelodeon-Oxymoronic-Logic" 5 times fast. Heehee.

    Can I get a little off-topic just for a second? I didn't want to say anything earlier cuz there were lots of people and stuff... but now it's 3am so it seems most people have filed out for the night.

    Lisa, as a mother you could appreciate this, guess what? I did some college tours today! Yup, me and my darling mother headed down to Boston today to look at Boston University. My mom wants me to go there to be some crazy scientist/politician/who knows what. But after, since it was still early afternoon, I convinced her to come with me on the Emerson College tour. Now THIS place I could get into. It's one of the top colleges in the world for digital media, and they have ridiculous amounts of courses and majors involving EXACTLY what I do. I was so pumped, I really liked it. Mom liked it too, strangely, which fills my heart with so much hope it's making me tearbend. Who knows, I could make a career out of this after all!

    Raven you just made my day! I'm being totally cereal here. That is AWESOME! I sooo feared you might be pushed to be an accountant or a lawyer. LOL Artists aren't made in my view, they're born that way. And to counteract what the Universe has already ordained usually ends in pain and suffering. Can you imagine if Mike and Bryan caved and became government workers? Ugh. The world would not be nearly the beautiful place it is because they exist in it. The same goes for you. A talent that abundant should never be squandered or wasted.

    Good evening late night crew! (For some reason I heard Toph's voice when I typed that. Oh yeah, Bitter Work episode semi-quote. lol.)

    You know, I'm thinking they just don't want to give us a final set airdate so that we go all crazy if they DON'T air it on that day. Nick obviously doesn't respect us enough to be consistent, but at least they respect us a tiny bit by promising a broad but true airing date. *shrug*

    Rav, as for your off-topic post...awesome! You're so lucky to be able to go college hunting. I wish I could do the same, but with Aloha Airlines and ATA Airlines officially out of business (two MAJOR airline businesses in Hawaii) and American Airlines going all crazy on us, flights are UNBELIEVABLY expensive now. Anyways...Emerson, huh? Sounds great, especially for you. I know that you can make it in. Just show them some videos and they'll probably admit you right then and there!

    Hehehe. Very nice. AND it kills them for anything to be 'unfair.' ET77 seems to want more than anything else to be 'fair' to Nickelodeon.

    Bah, I hate that Zodiac stuff anyways. I don't think I'm really that stubborn. I'm not having a problem seeing your side of things Lisa, but when it comes to the internet; the minority opinion is just going to trampled if no one sticks up for it.

    Edit: Besides, I thought I was the optimistic one here?

    I can see the Avatards tomorrow on the forum...'Wth with all the astrology guys?' LOL

    But to be completely serious for a moment...

    What if Nick left the July 14th airdate scroll up and then come July 14th didn't air ANYTHING.

    Somehow like many who have posted on this thread thus far, I am taking some small comfort in the fact that the bandaid is being pulled off in one fell swoop NOW and not July 14th.

    That would be beyond heartbreaking...not unlike the past few Fridays where the Nick schedule read Avatar at 8:30 p.m. EST only to suddenly change to 'Barnyard' or 'SpongeBob' on Thursday morning.

    So yes, it sucks. There's no way around it. But it could be a heck of a lot worse.

    EvilTwin what do you lose here by allowing Avatards to freely vent in this thread? I mean what do you personally lose? Do you feel if you don't defend Nickelodeon no one will?

    I agree. As long as we have a set airdate in the month of July, then I'm all good. A set airdate, no matter how broad (unless, you know, it's like "airs in 2008!" or something), is better than nothing at all.

    You're right.

    The end of the S3 Finale Trailer said "July 2008."

    In the Toonzone.net interview Nickelodeon confirmed the finale would be in "July 2008."

    I will take 'July 2008' over 'sometime in 2008' any day.

    See, that's the thing. The trailer cleary says "the story concludes July 2008". I'm not sure, but does it mean that all eight yet-to-air episodes are going to be airing that month? It could give us any timeframe from now until then, right? At least that's what I'm hoping. I mean, I'd love the Avatar overload, but having the new episodes once a week gives me something to look forward to, ya know?

    It's not just this thread, and it's not just today or just tomorrow. It's every thread and it's every day I come to these forums.

    I love Avatar too, but I think we suffer far less than we pretend to. Doesn't anyone try and look for the positives at all? At least it isn't canceled. Which is far more than I can say about hundreds of thousands of other shows that people loved. Can't we be thankful that Nick funded this project in the first place?

    I mean, I don't expect everyone to love Nick, or to be entirely positive all the time about it. But it isn't becoming to dwell on the negatives this much. There are far worse things going on in the world to be really upset about. Besides, Avatar is supposed to be a thing of enjoyment, if we're this upset when we think about it; then we have lost sight as to why we watch it.

    Basically what I'm trying to say is, if I don't try stem the tide of hatred, then I can't in good conscience post here.

    You know, EvilTwin, I have to agree with you on this one. Nickelodeon must have a reason for the way they're airing these episodes. And even though I don't like waiting, I'm thankful we even have the series at all.

    Plus...all this waiting gives us more time to chat here, right? I personally start to slowly lose interest in a show after it's over, sad to say. So I'm actually thankful for the waiting, at least a little bit. Still...one new episode a week, like how they started out, wouldn't be too bad.

    I agree. As long as we have a set airdate in the month of July, then I'm all good. A set airdate, no matter how broad (unless, you know, it's like "airs in 2008!" or something), is better than nothing at all.

    You're right.

    The end of the S3 Finale Trailer said "July 2008."

    In the Toonzone.net interview Nickelodeon confirmed the finale would be in "July 2008."

    I will take 'July 2008' over 'sometime in 2008' any day.

    See, that's the thing. The trailer cleary says "the story concludes July 2008". I'm not sure, but does it mean that all eight yet-to-air episodes are going to be airing that month? It could give us any timeframe from now until then, right? At least that's what I'm hoping. I mean, I'd love the Avatar overload, but having the new episodes once a week gives me something to look forward to, ya know?

    You hit it. We just don't know. Think about it, the posters at the NYCC said that 'Avatar Returns May 6th.' What they didn't clarify is that Avatar returns May 6th only to DVD. What I'm wondering is does the 'Avatar Concludes July 2008' mean Nick intends to air these episodes...all of them...meaning WAT, FBM, BR:1, BR:2, TSR, EIP and the four-part finale OR is Avatar NEVER returning to air on Nick and we're looking at another never-before-seen episodes including the finale going straight to DVD as well?
