Make this site Horror

[Tiggnutz]

I would do away with all the movie specific forums and make them more general like Vampire, Zombie, slasher, Creature features, and so on. How many threads are we expecting in a Phantasm or Texas Chainsaw Massacre forum? Everything related to each would fill out one thread. I think it would appeal more to new visitors if there were not so many barren forums in the most important section the Horror section.

That was my point about revisiting these in November and removing non-starters. It looks odd to me to have tons of not often used subsections.

All of those would make good threads in a more general themed forum.

There were six forums for Major Horror Franchises. F13, NOES, Hallowee, Hellraiser, Evil Dead and TCSM. All 6 combined exceeded activity of all of the 11 general themed forums combined. I will never vote to have them removed.

But we have already established we don’t have those anymore.

We didn't have those when we first started OG HMF either.

Exactly what? We had nothing in OG HMF, and turned it into something. Over that decade-plus span, the movie themed forums severely outnumbered the general themed forums in activity. No reason to change that now.

Yes but we already made those from scratch once.

And? We had to make HMF 2 from scratch...

No reason to get rid of the movie themed forums when they more than double the output of activity.

Well maybe add the ones above we don't have already. More of a better visual thing I think.

[Jason]

I would vote for that.

We aren’t going to have pages of Jason X, NOES 3, TCM 2 or other discussions. Because whilst the board is gone, our discussion has been had and nobody cares about those anymore. So whilst it was true they were active back in the day they won’t be now, not with this group here.

that's a fair point. but i would prefer the board to be primarily horror, in whatever way that ended up as, rather than scrapping it because it may not get the activity that it once did.

[Jason]

Going the route you're going is now bringing the discussion back to horrormoviefans.com vs. news&politicsfans.com.

We want people to stay for horror not politics. I'm also fine discussing old shit with new people as long as its horror related.

New people is the real Problem. In that we don’t get many.

...nobody cares about those anymore.

Sacrilege! I may not have anything new to add to discussions on them, but I will never stop caring about them.

Poorly chosen words. Cares to discuss them.
