Hmm...What's that smell?...

I also registered, a couple of days ago. Still awaiting email. I have tried to find out where the email is and keep getting user-name/email address already in use.

Yes by me!

I just thought I'd give it a chance, nothing ventured nothing gained.

You love horror movies and you enjoy discussing horror related topics with other people who have knowledge of them and enjoy them, too...

Yet, instead of thinking there might possibly ALREADY be an established horror forum or 2 for you to join, that already HAS members, you could only think to create your OWN horror forum in order to discuss horror with like-minded individuals...

So, after you created your forum, you realized that you would need other members in order to be able to discuss these things, and not just be sitting there staring at your page all by yourself, so you FINALLY considered that there MIGHT already be a horror forum or 2 from where you might be able to solicit some members for YOUR forum...

Damn...It's too bad that you didn't think about the possiblity that there might be at least ONE horror forum already in existance on this big wide internet web for you to join, before you spent all the time, trouble and expense of creating your own forum just to discuss horror...It would have been SO much easier for you to just join OUR forum, where we already have members to hang out with and talk about horror...

OH...But then...You couldn't make any money off of advertisers that way:rolleyes:

You sorta have it right.

I am a developer and needed to test the forum software and also love horror. As I was thinking of the type of forum to put up I came up with the Horror theme since its a topic I like so much. If the horror fails or succeeds I still needed to run tests on the software.

I'm hoping that people join and start some great conversations but either way I will be there and keep working on the forum and the forum software to make it better.

As far as the ads. I put up a lot of free websites and give out free software and the ads are a way to cover my bandwidth costs. I have always beleived in giving back, hence the free software and tools. Ads are a way to cover bandwidth costs (and bandwidth is all it covers, no extra).

I understand your apprenhension on me suddenly appearing and hope you can get by it to join my forum but if not I understand.

I show the email was sent. Maybe in a spam folder? Either way I have activated your account.

That makes much more sense than the way you previously described your intentions...

Once the forum was all setup, I started to think of ways to attract users. The giveaways are that way. Basically, all income from Ads above the bandwidth costs (which is typically very low for a forum) will be going to the giveaways. The thought being is as teh forum grows so does teh giveaways.
