I really wish I could turn back time, to the early days of RR when the forum was buzzing and excitement could be felt around the forum. I really miss those thought provoking writers that would stir emotions and yes, even generate heated discussions. But it was all in good spirit and not malice. Now things are so different. It's just not the same.

Yes I am deeply attached to this show. But I'm not an idiot. I can diiferentiate between reel and real life and I know this is only a work of fiction. But it is human nature to form attachments..and that can even be with fictional characters. They somehow have the ability to make us feel for them, live their moments and set off on a journey with them. Sometimes that's how I feel about Paro and Rudra. I am not ashamed to admit that they have made a special place in my heart.
But it pains me to come to this forum now. Why? Because I am simply fed up of random people who probably don't even watch the show, telling me that RR is going to be axed, there's no hope. Hey, I'm not a complete twit! I do know that the show has its flaws. But I also know that some people just love to rub salt to wounds. And I can also read between the lines.And to top that, ST's interview has really irked me to no end. It really makes me question why I am so loyal to the show. It's all about numbers. Sod the emotions that we invest. It all comes down to numbers. And if they aren't achieved, then it's our fault. The fault of those that embraced and accepted, despite the flaws.
Yes RR has its imperfections. We can highlight a number of issues that the show faces at present. But despite all of that, I still continue to love and support the show, because I'm a fool...! And also because this it has become my addiction. I cannot stop watching it even if I tried. But I think it's now time to resign myself to fate. I can see where this is all heading. So I've decided to retreat and take my insignificant self into my shell. I give up
My intention isn't to sound dramatic. This usually isn't my style But I just wanted to let it out otherwise I was going to burst! Also, I do not intend to offend anyone so please don't take my thoughts that way.

I can understand where you are coming from but I don't agree with your comment about ST.

He was excited, so damn excited about this show when it started and I think it's disheartening to read about how it seems like all he cares about are numbers.

Numbers are important, who watches the show and how much popularity it brings is important to him because it's a valid thing to care about. Unlike us, who watch the show and connect with it, the show is a business. He has to care about the things we don't really think about as audiences.

Numbers, popularity and all those things are what makes or breaks a show.

So I find it rude that you are insinutating it's all he cares about, because at the end of the day he has no choice but to care about it if he wants his show to continue.

He gave us this show, so I think it's disrespectful to suggest that he doesn't care for it.

Don't blame u.. I have resigned myself to whatever is coming too.

Utterly disappointed about the fact that they glorify something and diminish another and then crib about lack of TRPs and lack of fan support!

Yes sympathies all around for everybody. The producers have to make money it is a business who pays the bills. But I wonder what everyone mood will be like if TRP thread is shutdown and you are forbidden to talk about TRPs now that is an experiment I will like to be a part of.

I think overall mood is sad on the forum, once the discussions on the forum were about characters only now fan groups have started clashing taking focus away from sensible discussions, there was a time when we had the best writers on the forum for episode analysis but they have left, ranking has dropped it is the feeling of doom and gloom everywhere and all because of this talk about TRPs. When we have quality posts on the forum it will attract quality thoughts and writing. Unfortunately if you look at the show itself things are not so bad in RR, they are not great but they are not bad, it still has the best actors as leads and how many will dispute that.

My intention was never to show disrespect to anyone. I don't think I explained myself very well. I'm actually referring to his latest comments where it seemed as though he is blaming fans. Once again - this wasn't me trying to be rude.

Oh screw it! I can't be bothered to explain myself. I will just end up digging a hole for myself. Self pity never brings sympathy any way...

No one is having a go at you or asking you to not state your thoughts. I'm simply just disagreeing with your opinion. I'm just one person disagreeing you, I'm sure there are others who agree with you.

You shouldn't feel the need to stray away from expressing yourself, you are allowed to.

Completely sympathise with you!! Everybody knows that all good things must come to an end. There's hardly any point in shoving that down our throats, until we're ready to throw up. Really!!!! Is it too much to ask that we be allowed to enjoy whatever time this show continues to run without this continuous morbidity fouling the air. There's still fun to be had here. I suggest completely ignoring any such gloomy posts and getting on with life in the forum as before. RR is still running, and there are still enough fans in the forum to keep it alive and ticking. Nothing more is needed. I suggest we get on with our own party.
