<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]]. |

==History== |
|||
In spring of 2001, with the demise of <i>Daria</i> imminent (the final six episodes would air that summer), many fans were discouraged, feeling as though there would be nothing left to stick around for. Eventually the idea of taking a "next step," rallying around the cause of putting the show on DVD, became popular. Several fans took steps to make this idea a reality. |

As noted on the [http://www.the-wildone.com/dvdaria/credits.html DVDaria Credits & Legal] page and elsewhere: |
|||
*[[John Takis]] 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. |
|||
*[[Aapo Laitinen]] designed the DVDaria website. |
|||
*[[Martin Sylvester]] gave instructions on how to write to MTV. |
|||
* 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. |
