Well, put simply, I lost interest, not in the characters so much as the forum itself. For starters, with the demise of the show came a lack of meaningful content (note: there was also a slowdown in fanarting around the time I departed). At that point in time, the youngest and most grammatically-challenged segments of the membership had become dominant posters, too, so I felt like the IQ of the forum as a whole had fallen into the basement. There was also a minor troll invasion soon thereafter that deterred me from checking. I did lose some interest in the characters as well, once their newness to me wore off. I just wasn't a fan anywhere long enough to create the lasting fervor for them that I have for the characters and shows I grew up on.
Ah, so one of the primary reasons you left was basically because of n00bs. On the upside, though, a lot of the old members in general seem to be making an appearance now, and the forum isn't nearly as grammatically and intellectually challenged as I seem to recall it being in the past. And with the rearrival of old friends comes REVIVAL.
I actually haven't watched the show in about eight months or so, but yet I'm posting here a lot more than I did when I was watching the show. Odd.
I won't lie, reading through this last page has made me kind of regretful that I never really was a part of the proverbial LU-Family back in the day. I just hope I can be one day. D:
Yeah, that's a decent summarization. I don't need every thread to be intelligent discourse, but I don't like it much when checking the Recent Posts page kills brain cells.
I haven't watched an episode since last summer, and I still haven't gotten around to watching all the episodes that aired before I got involved. I have both seasons' DVD's, though, so I'll get around to it eventually.
I'd say that the so-called "good ol' days" were just over a year ago. We still had new episodes to discuss, speculation over what would happen in the season finale, and a lot of fanarting and fanficking. When the show wasn't renewed, things just slowly started winding down.

Well (I said don’t ask because I didn’t wanna explain… Yet here I am explaining)!
OK! SO!
I wrote a journal recently that has a thingie I stole from Bandkanon who stole it from Akira who stole it from her sister Twighlight… What you do is, you have the numbers 1 to 10, and next to each number you put a random fave cartoon character. And then down the list it asks you to answer questions about each character… And in every question that Duck was in… I’d somehow incorporate repe… XD
ANYWAY! I was sittin’ between Darty and Kez in writers class today (both are pretty into LU and both have DA accounts), and they were talking about how I wanted to repe Duck. And see, Duck is one of their favourite characters too (‘cept Kez is a Techie and Darty is a Revvie)… So, they were all like, “We could all repe him together! It can be a gang repe!” 83
Then Darty was all, “We haffta bring someone else into it… To make the gang even bigger!”
So, Kez was like “TECH!” and Darty was like, “REV!”
And somehow… Slam came into it. XD
I SWEAR! It was NOT me!
Anyway… Darty was like, “OMG! SLAM! HAHAHAHA!”
And this image of Slam silhouetted behind Duck, leaping into the air and Duck standing there wide-eyed came to mind… So I doodled it in my SPLATT book. ^__^
Then Darty photoed it and giggled non-stop for aaaaaaaaaaages. XD
I might scan it in sometime…
