Line 278:
Another panic broke out in winter of 1999/early 2000 when [[Michelle Klein-Hass]] pulled down [[Lawndale Commons]], right around the time [[C.E. Forman]], fandom's (then) most celebrated fanfic author, announced that he would not finish Lost Season Two of [[The Lost Seasons]] series. Fans were truly convinced then that <i>Daria</i> fandom would never recover, until Pollard and the [[Paperpusher]] established their own message boards.
The conventional wisdom that everyone was "jumping ship" really took hold after <i>Daria</i> finished its run on MTV in 2001-2002. Some fans announced that they had nothing to stick around for, while several noted fanfic authors, like [[Nemo Blank]], announced that they were writing their last fanfics ever. Many remaining fans were convinced that, with no fresh episodes, there would be nothing new to discuss, which meant <i>Daria</i> fandom would inevitably die out. While it is likely that the number of active members is fewer than when <i>Daria</i> was in its first run, fans have managed to find new topics or rally around new causes (like [[DVDaria]]). The fandom continues to pull through mass collapses (e.g., the [[Great Daria Fandom Implosion of 2007]]) and sail on, like every other fandom.
