It happens to every fandom, unfortunately. But that's why you just have to find yourself a good core group of people to enjoy the show (and possibly its derivative works) with, carve out your own little sector of the fandom, and let the rest of the 'community' be damned. It's the only way to survive in something like, say, the Sonic fandom at this point.



But that's not the point, necessarily. The first two seasons were great, community-wise as well as show-wise -- if I may, try to hold onto the good memories from those times, rather than focusing on how much things have changed since then.



And hey, the fandom may have lost all semblance of standards, but at least the show itself hasn't lost (much of) the charm that got this whole thing started.
