Hi! I've been lurking here since early 2016 - around the time I was new to TWD. I was trying to get into the series in 2012/2013 but couldn't because I've read complaints on how bad and tedious the show was becoming. Finally decided to get into the series in Christimas 2015 when I had nothing to do. While I think I should've followed the show early, doing the seasons 1 - 6A marathon was awesome!

As for the forum name change I was able to read the announcement in February (or early March?).

 

I hope this forum still gets new members.
