Coming back to the fandom

[Cedarheart]

Hi everyone :D
As a young young child (I was 8 when I made my account here), I was very obsessed with Warriors, and although I wasn't very active on forums and such, there was still a lot of content (both good and bad :> ).
But now... it seems like the series' popularity has just fizzled out. I've never heard it being talked about outside of a few nostalgic comments, so maybe I'm not looking hard enough, but compared to other groups it doesn't seem to get much attention. I'm pretty sad about that... I guess my question is, is it even worth it to get involved here again?
I reread some of the Po3 books lately, and they're still the exaggerated cat dramas I love. I guess I'm overly nostalgic for the time I grew up in, but I do still genuinely like Warriors, and if there's still support/community I guess, I wanna get back into it.
This is a pretty confused rant, but for anyone reading this, what are your thoughts on this? Or, considering you're reading this in 2021, what have been your experiences with the fandom these days?
(Also, can I just say I was really lucky to get the username cedarheart here? O_O)

Welcome, Cedarheart (Or welcome back if you've been on the forum before)!

I think the Warriors community is still strong, but this forum is definitely not as active as it used to be. Sad. For me personally, I still enjoy reading the books from time to time but don't read them nearly as much as I used to when I was 13-15. I am 23 now, so it's definitely been a long time. I recently finished the A Vision of Shadows arc, and I also read Dawn of the Clans last year/in 2019. Other than that, haven't read the books since middle school/early high school.

What about you?

Hi Spottedleaf!
I have been on the forum before, and apparently did some annoying things considering my reputation is now -4 xD Thank you!
That's good to hear that Warriors as a whole is still active. I guess it's kind of to be expected that a pretty minor game this old isn't as popular now, but it is still sad for sure :(
I've read the first three series completely and only bits of pieces of the newer ones, and I'm rereading the third one now since it's the only one I own. What do you think of the newer arcs, by the way? I know the authors switched around relatively recently, so would you say the quality has changed at all? I did like the first book of the... sixth series? with skyclan? so many at this point >_<
Sorry, lots of questions ^^" I'm relieved to hear that it's still pretty active, though!
Honestly, this is a little surprising talking to you now, since when I was more active on the forums I always saw you as some far off mod xD

I enjoyed Dawn of the Clans quite a bit, actually. It was like a breath of fresh air because entirely new characters were introduced. Gray Wing is my favorite! I enjoyed A Vision of the Shadows pretty good too. I liked that SkyClan was brought back. Haven't touched The Broken Code yet (the series that comes after A Vision of the Shadows).

How about you?
