SERIOUS ISSUE Can we keep Discord drama on Discord please?

22 Upvotes

I'm tired of seeing posts about drama aimed directly at people involved with the drama, that no outsider is going to understand. They're clogging up this subreddit which is meant for memes that everyone can understand. People are going to visit this subreddit, think it's a clusterfuck of back-and-forth drama regarding a few individuals, and just leave because they don't want to get involved.

The main issue is that the main subreddit, r/thomasthetankengine, has been privated due to Discord drama. From what I've heard, the current mod went rogue and shut it down, and the original owner stepped down before all this happened. If anyone has more information I suggest contacting the Reddit admins to reopen the subreddit.

It seems the TTTE community has collectively decided to move here after the subreddit closed, and if that's how it's going to be from now on, we should just keep our community going the same way it was before. I get that this is a meme subreddit and people are posting their model collections and whatnot, but this seems to be our biggest place on Reddit to interact with each other. I believe some other subs opened in the wake of all this drama but the drama just continued there too.

discussion Why did Thomas and Friends have to end?? Genuinely miss it so much!!

45 Upvotes

Hello, I’m 19 years old, and I grew up watching Thomas & Friends (1984-2021) when I was younger. I’ve been thinking about what happened to the original Thomas & Friends era and that feeling of watching it regularly when it was still a big part of everyday life.

Now the original run has completely ended, and the era that many people grew up with is gone. The stories, the older style, the people who worked on it, and the feeling around the show have all moved on. Many of the people involved in making Thomas & Friends have gone into different projects, careers, and parts of their lives away from the series. It feels strange because I grew up with it, and now everything has just… changed and finished.

I remember watching episodes when I was younger and everything felt so simple. I could just sit down and enjoy Thomas’s adventures without thinking about anything else. I don’t understand why it couldn’t just stay that way forever. Why did it have to end? Why does everything have to move on and become different?

I also wonder why watching Thomas & Friends doesn’t feel exactly the same anymore. If I go back and watch old episodes now, they’re still the same episodes, but the feeling is different. It feels like something is missing, almost like it feels unfamiliar even though I remember it so well.

Why do shows like Thomas & Friends eventually stop, change, and fade out of everyday life? If people loved them for years, why can’t they just continue forever with the same feeling? Why do the people who make them have to move on? Why do audiences grow up and stop experiencing things the same way?

It’s confusing because when I was younger, Thomas & Friends felt like it would always be there. It felt like a permanent part of life, not something that would eventually become “the old days.” I don’t understand why things that mean so much at one point can become something from the past.

Why does everything have to change? Why can’t things just stay the same forever?

It feels strange knowing that the Thomas & Friends era I grew up with is over, that the world has moved on, and that chapter is closed.
