<b>DVDaria</b> is a website devoted to putting <i>Daria</i> out on DVD. Consisting of links to numerous actions a fan could take, its centerpiece is a web petition, currently containing 25,000 signatures. Run by [[Alan Benard]] from March 2001 until August 2002, DVDaria is currently being run by [[Kara Wild]]. The site achieved its ultimate goal with the coming of [[Daria: The Complete Animated Series]] on DVD. The website has been dormant since then. Wild insists that DVDaria will get updated again, but her life has been very busy. She does not believe that she will be able to oversee a campaign for the international release, due to time and lack of resources.
 
==History==
Line 7:
 
As noted on the [http://www.the-wildone.com/dvdaria/credits.html DVDaria Credits & Legal] page and elsewhere:
*[[John TakisAdmonisher]] was responsible for coming up with the name DVDaria.
*[[David Wycislak]] designed the original header and wrote the mission statement.
*[[Martin J. Pollard]] designed the banners, which could be distributed to other websites.
Line 14:
* Alan Benard updated the website regularly and is responsible for the statements "Whoever thought trying to give a TV network money would be such an effort?" and "The Web's finest exquisitely written, angry petition!" The latter poked fun at a statement made on the MTV <i>Daria</i> website, which was viewed as a snub of the fans.
 
Other fan sites would lend their support. Kara Wild would eventually offer webspace at the-wildone.com, where she also hosted the [[Contrarian's Corner]]. Eager to escape the pop-ups of Geocities, Benard moved the contents of DVDaria to the-wildone.com in February 2002. (thus escaping the [[GeoCities Shutdown of 2009]]).
