I sure do hope that the shut-down is only temporary. I'll wait no more than five years, and if they don't come back, then I guess the shut-down is indeed permanent. -_-

However, if it is permanent, I do see at least one benefit. When you write a good fanfic, it can be frustrating when a new sequel or episode comes out and it contradicts something in your fanfic. If no new sequels or episodes are ever going to come out, you won't have to worry about any future contradictions. This is especially true for that well-known plot-hole created by the TV series. (how Chomper got off the island, how he met Ruby, and how they were accepted into the Great Valley (without knowing officially what happens here, you can say whatever you want :yes ))

...Earlier today...  I talked with Iris about this...  And we cried...  ...A tear actually fell onto my glasses...  I let it spread, relishing in the symbolism of the end...  And...  As I helped it to spread natually across the lens...  It formed a perfect L...  (LBT...  Love...  Yes, both of those...)  I let it dry, then washed them.... :( As I said before....  Rest...  In...  Peace...  *neck breaking crunch*

I have to ask would they really want to tick off loyal customers?

I think I'd take it a step further and B-52 em.  Anyway, It makes no sense to stop the series as long as it is making money.  Hopefully this is just temporary.

Yeah so do I. Cause they don't want to meet my little friend called low level fly by at Mach 1.

I'm not really bothered too much by the crash, to be honest. I've never really been upset about the cancellation of any series I've seen, whether I liked it or not. No offense intended.

While I respect your viewpoints, DarkHououmon, unfortunately, I cannot agree here, as most here cannot.  We love this series - some of us very much (puts himself on that list) and it is hard to see something like this come down... :( However, I respect your viewpoints.  You seem to have an easier time dealing with it than many of us here...  ...Goodbye, LBT... :(

Dang, just as I was getting back into the series, it shuts down. While this is unfortunate, I do know we have to move on with life. This was a great series, but it's not something we all should dwell on.

This isn't going to stop me from coming up with a story/stories for the series however, and it shouldn't stop any of you guys from coming up with something to contribute.

Yeah, I plan to do a tribute video in the future... :(

Not a surprise to me....LBT has been milked for quite some time now.  I'll just say what is true--no tv series lasts forever, nor movie series.

Upset Statement:  That is imposssible.  If those meatbags have permanently silenced my favorite series...I think I shall have to let them know my definition of "love".

This doesn't make any sense.  Do the people that run Universal Studios even have brains???  They've popped more LBT toys out their a$$ in the last 2 years than any other series I've ever seen and they seem to be selling quite well.  This has to be temporary.  Moving to a larger office perhaps?  Man, I'll tell ya, if they close down LBT permanently I'm gonna pirate LBT like crazy.  The only thing that's been stopping me is my moral obligation to keep LBT alive, but if it's dead anyways I don't give a sh**. :angry:

Cancelled or not, you could still get into trouble if you pirate LBT. Are you willing to take that risk?

I'll be honest, and I hope I don't offend anyone here. But some of the responses I've seen in this topic truly..bother me.

Well...  At least you're being honest about things bothering you...  ...I say again, farewell LBT...  *graveyard bells tolling*

The news will not turn me into an amok runner nor make me enjoy the thought of people getting murdered (be it by B52 bombers or Hk-47s). Some messages from LBT seem not to have sunk in enough after 13 sequels and 26 episodes <_<
Is there anyone here who feels that these news will compel him or her to leave the GOF and not be interested in LBT anymore?
And if there is not, is the difference really as tremendous as it seems at the moment?
Every single one of us has made up an own concept of the land before time. A very personal land before time so to speak which is sometimes expressed in the stories we write ourselves and in other forms of art or in our discussions. No closing down of any office anywhere in the world can take away those lands before time unless the "keeper" him or herself decides to give up on it.
