Maybe it's just me being bored, or something, but I have realized that most of the people that have become registered members of the Meerkat chatrooms, joined after Flower and Mozart's deaths. That should show how much their lives, and death's have impacted not only other Meerkat's, but also humans.
I actually joined when Len & Squiggy died. I logged on to see if anything was done to save poor little Squiggy. Then they updated the system at the end of Oct.07 so my name and date registered changed. I stayed on because of Flower. So you are right. Many people come here to feel a part of something that was very special as we all grieve over Flower and Mozart. In my opinion there will never ever be any two Meerkats like them. I also miss Carlos, Shakes, Len & Squiggy and all of the others who have gone.
There were so many that died this season. I seriously thought about joining after Mozart's death, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I finally joined now because I had a few questions on KMP.
I actually didn't start watching the show until a week or two before Shakespeare disappeared. I didn't know about this board until recently that why I joined. I didn't realize how many people really loved the meerkats and felt the same way I did when something bad happened. I never seen a show that made me cry every week for both good and bad reason. I love the show and even though bad things happen I still will watch it.
I did join after Flower's death. I had stopped watching MM for awhile in the beginning because I felt so bad for Mozart. Mozart has definitely impacted me. I have been devastated by her death. I just don't know if I can look at MM the same without our favorites.
