One detail: The twitter account is back, but no activity since Feb. 9.

i am still so sad at the destruction of AF, not just for all the obvious reasons, but that even though i was able to rescue some of my Neytiri edits from internet archive page screenshots, there are so many lost forever, as well as great edits and gifs from many other members who have never made it here. i thought i still had most everything, but sadly my old pc blew up in late 2015, and two of my older non-ssd external drives are just so much electronic felgercarb now, just waiting their turn to be dismantled for eventual inclusion to my Statue of Fail. the evil of the AF Hometree destruction remains palpable in the air.

For sure - I certainly had so many memories in the form of thousands of posts across the first months of 2010, now all gone... but, at least the People remain

i found this screenshot of mine, from the sadly deceased AF, in an old external drive that i am transferring data to a new SSD, and getting rid of old unreliable drives with platters and breakable stuff inside. i had over 15,350 posts at the demise of AF, so much fun and memories. rest in peace, AF memories


btw, no one ever really answered the question i asked, on that screenshot...

Oel ngati kameie ma Ja'k, As for your question, imo, its because no matter what the movie is about, if there are people who like it and enjoy it and want to take the point the movie has to heart, even if it has an important message, it comes down to the fact that there are always tragic souls that like to cause uncomfort for others, they enjoy the thought of ruining others fun, or making light of things that the members of the community see as important. I also can't understand it, but I guess its just a human illness to like to ruin someone elses parade. That being said, I will never let them ruin my experience, and stop me from talking to my Avatar friends and I will try to do my best to remember the message from the movie while at the same time enjoy the ride of the Avatar franchise. I will enjoy walking past the decomissioned Amp suit on Pandora in two weeks, to personally see the ruins of the greedy and evil RDA for myself, Hell yea!!

i wish there was a way to keep alive the memories and good times of AF, like a sort of interactive memorial or something.

Srane, there were some great people and memories from AF and awesome discussion, sadly the person at the helm, and his philosophy on how to "run" the place and what was important( imo) ran it into the ground. But us fans will always find a way and the sequels are getting closer each day, the best days for Avatar fans are still ahead of us, I believe

Sharing my respects for the loss of the Avatar-Forums.com - had been my Avatar home for a long time even though it's been a while since I had been on.

Very sad to see it gone.......

It's a shame Avatar Forums went down. It was the first, well, Avatar forum i joined and my favorite. May it be at peace with Eywa.

[Ja'k Dawsiin]

it's funny how many links i have to go back and fix, across all my footprints on the net, photosuckit keeps fading in and out, sometimes they allow my old accounts to show and other times it's down hard, and now my current host keeps changing domain names. i get the feeling all this shall join the sadly deceased AF one day, once trump and his ilk crush the fairness of net neutrality.

It seems like the Twitter account is inactive, the Facebook is still running but not popular and Lon runs a Westworld website with the same template as the late Avatar-Forums website.

So yeah, somebody killed a website without permission.

I guess, there is no realistic way of getting the domain and database of Avatar forums to make a rebirth of it?

I think you would have to contact Lon for the database, but you can at least buy the domain.

asking CorporateLonSatan to be reasonable with the AF wreckage and it's still grieving fandom, is like asking Monsanto to stop GMO'ing the planet and mass-producing it's chemicals, pesticides, defoliants, and atmospheric-seeding programs to alter weather patterns. not gonna happen. sad. very sad only.
