Hey Pixfan, even though I didnt’ know you for long, I remember your cool Halloween sigs back in the day!
It’s kinda sad most of the older members like Rachelcakes, TSS, Phileas and bright-dot-dasher hardly log on anymore (although they can be found elsewhere). Some of the semi-new ones like JSWeC, EJE, little_chef, IV, and Violet Parr are still regulars.
It also saddens me that there’s hardly any discussions on the older movies (Toy Story, for example, has - I will say this out loud - become a merch thread), and besides new signatures and avatars, and Cars fanfics, there’s not much output in terms of Pixar fandom on the site.
And I miss all the old events we used to have, like Movie Nights, and Commentaries, and Radio Pixar, and the short-lived Peach, and even those competitions (of which one I won, The Art of Pixar Short Films).
And in a way (I feel), it has mirrored Pixar’s decline in the critics’ eyes, with the sequel productions and the re-releases in 3D and merchandising (by Disney) all that. It used to be the animation studio to watch, but now the others are catching up (and winning my attention too).
Still, this forum will have a place in my heart, because it has been part of my life for the past half-a-decade. Hopefully it will remain so for many more years to come.
