Line 6: * [[Daria Fandom Blog]]: dormant after 7/31/07, moved to new address (w/o Comments) * [[Glitter Berries]]: dormant after 12/14/06, moved to free-hosting site * [[Outpost Daria]]: dormant after 5/20/07 (restarted in 2008, announced site shutdown in June 2013) [[The Daria Shrine]], [[The Green Sink]], and [[The Sh33p's Fluff]] had not been updated in many months by this period, further limiting the options for posting new fanworks or reading new fandom-related material. [[Sick, Sad World]] was the lone exception to the trend, updating for the first time since February 2006 on July 17, 2007, but then going dormant. [[Lawndale Sun-Herald (website)\|Lawndale Sun-Herald]] went dormant as well soon after. The lack of website updates provoked a movement to create a new ''Daria'' fandom [[supersite]], [[Lawndale Online]], now ~~active~~offline. The [[Daria Fandom Blog\|Daria Fandom Blog II]] was also created as a consequence. Many long-time fans, writers, and website moderators announced during this period that they were leaving the fandom or significantly cutting back their time in fan-related activities. They included, in no particular order: [[Kara Wild]], [[Kemical Reaxion]], [[Martin J. Pollard]], [[James Bowman]] (in his guises as [[CINCGREEN]] and [[Roentgen]]), [[Greybird]], and [[E. A. Smith]].
