Yeah what stood out most to me on this forum was when Neuro stopped posting. He was probably the show's #1 fan. He would even do trivia on characters.

Seasons 3 to 5 were probably the height of the show with fan interest. Like you said, you could never keep up with all the content. There was so much speculation too on what was going to happen next.

 

The world went to shit, and life got crazy. I feel like that probably happened to a lot of people. Plus no RICK MOTHERFUKIN' GRIMES hurt the show.

 

Last I knew (which was about a year or more ago...) the spoiling dead fans ended but there is a new spinoff of that site called "We are twd fans" (http://www.wearetwdfans.com/) I have not been active on there whatsoever, but I am Jen on there. It's possible Neuro is on there too but i am not sure! I know he was on Spoiling dead before it shut down.

 

I was a member and former chat moderator on the spoilthedead forums. This was years ago, over 10 years. Back then the site was run by King Grimes and 1 other..forgot his name. I was a member for several years from season 1-3. I left the site because all kinds of drama broke out. I actually forgot about this site until I stumbled across this. Even back then I believe alot of people went to another walking dead fansite.

 

http://www.wearetwdfans.com/ is a lot busier than here. It was lovely to read a lot of people’s reaction there to the finale. So yes, there are still people out there who enjoy talking about the show. I prefer it here as even though it’s only a handful of people posting, or maybe because of that, it feels more like a group chat. But I like the other site too for giving a wider picture of how different fans receive the show.

 

An awful lot of truth in there.

A very interesting topic for me, why we choose to see something through and what makes us walk away. There’s a complex bunch of reasons for both, but generally with the direction the world is moving, it gets harder to stick to things, and harder for making people commit.

TWD is a classic example. Now that it’s over, I’m really glad I stuck with it. Despite its mistakes and problems, the overall vision and its prime message was worth it for me.
