    The problem is that nick is so obsessed with spongebob and fairlyoddparents because they were so successful that they totally neglect Avatar even if it's probably the best show that nick will ever have.

    It IS the best show that Nick has, or ever will have cause no show can stand up against it!!

    nick's problem isnt neccessarily that they ignore avatar but that they treat it like an outdated show. they dont advertise many avatar items like they do with spongebob and the commercials for it are few and far between. they definetly pay more attention to the sponge than the guy with elemental powers

    Its true most people are getting turned off the show because they don't know as much as we Avatards know.

    As for the Nickstapo they just sit back and get fat off the money Avatar makes from the Avatar reruns.

    I feel so sorry for anyone who dosen't know Avatar is back on.

    Saddest part of the hiatus is the noobs that go around asking "When will it come back" or "Has it been cancelled" or "Who's the _____est ______"

    God, I get sick of them.

    That really is unfortunate, but understandable. You have to have really kept up with the show to understand what was going on in the series anyway. So few cartoons these days are story based. Also, I can't help but wonder if the delay was in part because of the little tiff the creators and the exec producer had with Nick earlier this year. Didn't the exec producer move to Disney? And it's likely that the creators will follow the producer once Avatar is over and done with.

    Im telling my cable company to get rid of Nickeleodean after Avatar finishes airing. Nick has the worst programming ever. Zoey sucks, drake and josh sucks(sucks because it ignited other crappy shows), icarly, spongebob(someone burn it already) and fairly odd parents. Danny Phantom got the axe, invaderzim was chased off(ill never forgive that), and now nick is strangling Avatar by a thread only because it's necessary to their survival. I only watched Nick because of the cartoons, not these crappy low budget teen shows, if nick wants teen shows they should allow more mature content like InvaderZim or the unknown amount of scenes edited out of Avatar. All nick cares about is money and there is no excuse they cannot bring in new cartoons, a decade ago they had some pretty good cartoons and I know they had less money back then. Come on nick, at least bring rugrats back, ill watch that 24/7 rather than becoming colorblind by a bright yellow sponge.

    I never noticed that actually.. but that does kind of suck...

    But now that i think about it, it would be confusing for new viewers. I convinced my younger sister to watch Crossroads of Destiny, and i had to explain what was happening for like 10 minutes.. 0.o (in the end, she left XD I accidently slapped her in the face in the first 5 minutes and she left XD Too bad, such an awesome episode!)

    They've already killed /b/. And 4 chan is barely holding out the onslaught.

    Could any old little kid stumble on to 4 chan? I imagine that can't be good. Though I think I was there after seeing a post from dumbtvnut and it was a bit tough navigating so I gave up.

    I don't go there meself cause of the lack of restrictions on certian images, but I mostly pick up whatever memes I can and talk to ppl about the funnier things. Everyone agrees that noobs have completely ruined /b/ by literally posting anything and everything, except something funny.

    I will not allow the same to happen here.

    Maybe, but remember, civilizations rise and fall... We are undergoing the dark ages at the moment. Once all this "Project Chanology" dies down and the new***s go away, we'll be able to start anew.

    /rant

    Really I don't understand the mind of Nick, but I honestly don't think it's very smart. Unless people are on these forums or check the Internet they have no clue as to when new stuff is on it's way. How much has nick done to promote this show? The fans have done more advertising then them, the fans where and are the ones reassuring people it's coming back. I am willing to bet that without websites like tv.com, avatarspirit, dongbofeng.net (or however it's spelled) the show would have at lest 40% less viewers (probably even more). I know would have given up on it and thought it was cancelled had I not come here. I just find it annoying that we do so much to keep this show alive, to keep this thing we've all come to love going, and all Nick can do is drop the ball time and time again.

    pfft. I never got how someone could rank a show based on how often it airs rather than it's quality. The wait is annoying, but if someone who's shallow enough to call a show crap because new episodes aren't broadcast regularly, then I say good riddance.

    The same goes for fanboys/girls. I'm talking about the ones who call themselves fans but only watch a show for a certain character and throw a fit whenever they don't like what's happening to that character and stop watching a show because of it. There's a big difference between a fan and a fan[insert sex].

    The real sad part of the Hiatus is that Nick used to show Avatar reruns, but now they apparently are such Spongebob junkies that they have to sacrifice anything for the stupid little talking cheese.

    Sweet Toph, Nick, at least show reruns, or the occasional marathon!

    You know, i would love to see Nick's logic behind this,

    *at board meeting*

    Nick exec 1: "Alright guys, Avatar is ending. We all know that this show can bring in a vast audience and fans, and the finale can be an explosive hit. How should we go about airing Avatar for the next few months?"

    Nick exec 2: "I know! Let's not show it at all. I mean, not once. No re-reruns, no ads, nothing."

    Nick exec 1: "Brilliant!"

    fans: wtf?!
