    With all these trolls posting spoilers and fail threads, people are leaving. The mighty HighLord has to work double-time to fix all this. Anyone have any ideas to stop all this...this...crap? And can someone ban Gelem? I even heard he made a fake AKB account?

    Yeah he did, but a lot of us are at the Refuge. PM me if you want the link.

    Lets keep this short and sweet. The Avatar forums used to stand strong and overweight with lots of epic win.

    Now it stands anorexic and full of epic FAIL, thus sending people away.

    Gelem is like Grendel. He attacks once the sun goes down.

    I already have a link to the refuge thanks. And I personally haven't seen Gelem's troll-age but from what I hear, It is pretty bad.

    Then again, the book may be wrong...I haven't read it. But it probably isn't right.

    The book is a crappy, slapdash adaptation for 4-8 year olds.

    As far as im concerned, Gelem is lying.

    Also, about these boards, well, after the banning of SgtHydra and others, well, everyone else decided to leave to the Refuge.

    Still, i shall always remain here, this is my home.

    I actually made a list of the reasons I think the book is full of bull, if anyone wants to hear it.

    We were once like Ba Sing Se, strong and nothing could penetrate us. Until we were attacked from the inside out.

    And it used to be such a nice neighborhood, too. Until those blasted n00blums decided to move in. But hey, at least we don't have to pay housing tax!

    Okay, here it is:

    1. Even though Nick wants money, would they risk the chance of lowering the ratings by releasing actual major spoilers?

    2. Mike and Bryan would have to be out of their minds to allow a book containg major spoilers to be released

    3. Aang didn't seem worried about having to kill Ozai in DOBS, why would he suddenly have a problem with it now?

    4. "Iguess he could just talk the Fire Lord to death"- Sokka, The Avatar State

    5. The book seems to be written for kids 8 and younger. Maybe the content was wattered down

    6. The boxed set cover, at least to me suggests by the way that Aang's clothing is tattered, that this is not as easy as the book makes it sound

    7. The only scene that was for certain in the spoilers was the one of Azula throwing a brush at her mirror

    8. Remember that magazine that came out before the season started airing? Remember it showed that Fire Whip guy, and so far he hasn't seemed to have been introduced yet. My guess is that it's the killer of Katara and Sokka's mom, however, the "spoilers" mention nothing about her killer.

    Mike and Bryan really have no control on when Nick releases the episodes. I'm guessing the same is true for other merchandise such as the book. And even if what Gelem said is true, it doesn't mean Ozai won't die at the very end. So don't worry too much. A violent, bloody fate may still befall him.

    Boiling Rock spoiler


    ***SPOILER***

    Warning I may be bursting people's bubbles with my responses so don't read if you're the faint at heart.

    Seriously you've been warned, I wish I could do spoiler tags, but it's too big

    *** POTENTIAL SPOILERS***

    1. You have to remember that the book was suppose to come out after the finale.

    amdragfreak wrote:

    2. Mke & Bryan don't have any control as to when the stuff comes out, plus remember it was suppose to come out after the finale.

    3. Because at that time he had the support of the invasion team, this time he most likely has to go about alone. And he's had time to think about what it means to take a human's life.

    4. "Iguess he could just talk the Fire Lord to death"- Sokka, The Avatar State

    4. Sokka being Sokka.

    5. Watered down or not they'll have to stick to then general story and the major points.

    6. It most definitely won't be easy but it is still plausible.

    7. True

    8.He was in The Boiling Rock and the spoilers have nothing to do with the Southern Raiders or Ember Island Players.

    Good job, Eman. You are the steel backbone that keeps this fandom upright.
