Good to see you're still around Burk

I would have to agree with that. But with me, I joined in 2010--instead of joining in 2005, which is the year that I started watching the show again; a part of me regrets not joining back then.

It's good to see you, Burke.

It certainly does seem that way lately... I try to check in every so often and provide what little support that I can, but there's only so much that can be done about that..  It saddens me to see a once very talkative community turn into a ghost town.

It saddens me too. Honestly, the reason I love this show, and I show up as much as I do for that reason; that, and I am also making up for the fact that I didn't sign up in 2005, when I got back into the show.

My hope is that this place does get more life soon.

I do appreciate your effort to keep this place alive.

Yes, that is a real shame.

It was bound to happen. A large chunk of us are in our 30's already and beyond.

That's true. And as they say, all good things must come to an end.

Forgive me if I disagree.  As Glenn Frey of the Eagles once put it: "For the record, we never broke up, we just took a 14-year vacation." (Yeah, I'm a bit stubborn when it comes to the things I like.)

Still, life has a way of dragging a guy through the mud. College; moving out of state; getting a job; alternating between apathy, creativity, procrastination, and flat-out tiredness; being diagnosed with Crohn's Disease (and suspected to have Asperger's, but that's something else entirely); shifting through multiple interests; getting introduced to Touhou and 4th-gen MLP... I've been through all that since 2002 (though I like to think I've at least matured a little since then; for the curious, I became an honest-to-goodnes fan in late 1998, 1999 or thereabouts). I abandoned my website in 2007, deleted my SPC fanfics from my Fanfiction.Net account because I felt they were an insult to the Pizza Cats, and (I'm ashamed to say) forgot about this very site for long periods of time.

I'm still interested in the Pizza Cats, though, and at the very least I have both the SPC and KNT disc sets. (Ironically, it's my cats that are preventing me from watching the KNT discs from start to finish, as they like to lurk behind the television and threaten to chew on all the wires back there if I don't pay attention to them. Crazy critters.  ) I'd like to be able to write an SPC/Touhou crossover sometime, but the trick is mustering up the time and energy to do so, as well as getting myself reacquainted with the characters.

Yeah, it sounds like you've been through a lot. For what it's worth, I'm sorry you were diagnosed with that disease.

I do think it's true what you said, though. I remember watching the Pizza Cats briefly, on TV, in the Summer of 1997, and then I stopped once it was taken off the air--it was taken off the air two days after I started 4th grade, which I thought was weird at the time. I then again got into it in November/December of 2005 with the magic of torrents and all that stuff. Since then, I haven't looked back.

It's good to hear from more and more members.

[CRBWildcat]

Thanks. I appreciate that a lot. 

I think you had a better start to it than I did; I saw two episodes when I first found out about it, and that was it.

You're welcome.

When did you watch your episodes? Also, which episodes did you watch?

[CRBWildcat]

It was back during Thanksgiving Break of... I think 1996. I was able to catch "Samurai Charm School" and "Drumming Up Trouble With A Big Bad Beat". Until I found SPC Labs a few years later, that was it; the episodes only aired at 8:30 in the morning, and school for me started at 8. 

[blind2d]

I'm not dead! Just, yeah, took a long break. Glad this place isn't completely abandoned. Right? Anyway, I've been computer-less for eleven months, but now yeah, I'm back. What's new?

Well, both SPC and KNT are on Crunchyroll. The KNT fanbook will be getting a translated release. Speedy and Catatonic figures are due for release within the coming months, and Polly and Guido figures are set for release next year. So quite a bit has actually happened recently now that I think about it.

[blind2d]

Sweet! Good to know! I'll be looking forward to those figures, and if I still had crunchyroll, I'd be watching. Maybe I should get it again...

[ronin]

Samurai Charm School was the last episode I saw before the show was cancelled. Granted, this was when I was a kid, so the idea of a show getting taken off the air was a new concept for me.
