The Future Of ToS.

[Cyan]

Because there are soo many memories attatched to this place, memories like meeting gabrielle and such.
Its most likely a total lack of interest, but whats getting me a bit annoyed is the constant avatar thing, its a movie, sure it tought us things but reall this is getting a bit obsessive.

You don't like this place because others do? Most people are coming here in their spare time just to talk and it isn't necessarily about Avatar, like, 3/10 threads now are Avatar related, the rest is just discussion of normal things in our lives. The fact you're annoyed about this escapes me though.

[Eltu]

But there's a simple solution to that.

If you feel like some parts of the forum hold you here - remain in those parts of the forum ONLY. Accept the fact that some people have different interests here than you - and see the forum for what YOU like about it.

If you are losing interest in Avatar, simply don't visit the Avatar sections of the forum.

As long as you have a positive mind and don't troll the forum with negative comments, I'm happy.

But haven't we already moved far behind "Avatar thing" Cyan? In fact I observed that Avatar related themes are fading. It's nothing bad. And if you don't like them there is lot of space for different discussions.

You were just as "obsessed" about this movie as the rest of us before, so don't even try to pull that card, thank you.

Who's to define what "obsessed" really is, anyway? To me, obsessed is when doing something (your hobby, or posting on these forums for instance) actually hurts you mentally or physically. We do quite the opposite, so what does that make us? Obsessed? I'd say rather... that we're "healing". I know it sounds weird but it makes perfect sense in my at the moment dull mind.

Point being, you're on an Avatar forum, you don't want to talk about Avatar? Fine. But if you're going to talk $hit about the people who do talk about Avatar, then you're on the wrong forum.

[Advent]

That's what I'm saying. I mean, Na'vi are okay. They're beautiful creatures, and intelligent. (to a degree) But Na'vi obsessions and overzealous avatar fans are rising. They're mouthing off at their own race!

Avatar could have turned into a nightmare over the months.

I don't mind talking about Avatar all the time, but plenty of people take it too far. And I ain't pointing at anyone, but the "Physical attraction to Na'vi" Thread is a major abuser of humanity.

[Eltu]

Well that's the fine thing about an internet community - if you feel like certain discussions make you feel bad - just avoid visiting them. "Overzealous" Na'vi fans, as you call them - if you don't like this, don't visit the related threads, simple as that.

Instead, focus on the subjects and threads YOU find interesting and enjoyable

I find debating interesting and enjoyable. You should know that.

I just find how people can put down their own race for a fictional one to be completely unnecessary, and stupid. Blasphemous even. I just want to know how they could do such a thing, and why the find Humankind to be so terrible.

Well in comparison to Na'vi, there are many reasons for that. This topic is like giant pond full of piranhas lol, I hope it's gonna cool down. Just to say something before I fall of dead... every community I've been on so far faced this problem, this midlife crisis, it just depends on the people how they will face it. Remember, with infinite respect to each other, anything is possible. You don't like the thing he does? Well he doesn't force you to like it! It's his thing! Wow I'm not sure if I make sense anymore, I'll leave it at that. Goodbye tomorrow!

this should be enframed

[Eltu]

I think we all can agree on one thing:

Nobody likes everything.

Of course we have different interests, different morals, different ways to look at the world. But this should be a ground for discussion - not something that should split us up. And if you don't want to discuss certain things - don't. Nothing forces you to.

If we all can realize this, there would be no trouble.

[Eltu]

That's something to discuss in the debate forum, isn't it?

Getting offtopic here though..

[Eltu]

Agreed with rasomaso.

We don't have to agree on everything everyone says, thinks or does. As long as we respect it, we should be able to maintain a great feeling here.

Yup but obviously this place should try and stay fluid as possible, we should still be able to joke about something and not have 3 pages of serious disagreement afterwards.
