Exclamation IDEA for everyone to consider

Just wanted to say, yknow, in the interest of getting a few more members (and maybe even a new thread or two) up in here...it doesn't hurt to drop the "go to HDC" thing in any other forums/sites you go to...
There ARE horror fans out there - maybe they just don't know where to go...so find 'em, talk to 'em, and tell 'em about this joint...

-B

Good idea Cheeba...But what happens when they get here and discover that it is 25% horror discussion...35% flaming idiocy...and 40% irrelevant bullshit?...I've already tried this...People just don't usually stay for long...Perhaps if Arioch had control of the General and New Members forums, where people usually come first, and are immediately exposed to most of the bullshit , it would actually make a difference...You don't go around inviting people to your home, without cleaning the place up first...Just my opinion:)

new members

Well I'm a new member that hasn't been turned off!

I am having great discussions making friends on line, and getting great recommendations. A lot of other sites are too snobby. You can't just say that you like a movie, you have to be a film school grad or something or be born a Coppola.

It pays to just ignore the stupid arguments as much as possible.

Anyway, keep up the good work!

I'm here. I haven't felt like posting in a while, but I think it's wearing off. I guess I got sick of seeing all of the bullshit, but that seems to have disipated a little.

Uh.....or NOT.

Rayne - I find that the good posters in here generally stay around long after the shit gets flushed...(SEE....haunted came back...)
Besides, I'm not just saying that you should blindly advertise the place, but, yknow, talk to people you know, people who share an interest in some aspect of horror.
Gamers, movie-goers, readers, whatever...
And not everyone leaves upon viewing the idiocy anyway...nine9 here for example...considering there's been bullshit going on for ages now, I can only assume the same bullshit was going on when they joined...the good ones stick it out because they can see the cool in this place, and the more people WE bring into it, the better. At least if we get a few of our own in here, it'll even up the quality - idiocy ratio a little, right?
I invite people into my home as is. If they don't like it, they're never gonna - so they'll leave along with the built-in stick up their ass...
The bullshit here is only ever temporary anyway...I like to think it sorts out which people are actually worth having here in the first place.

Damn True!

I think you are right, a lot of people who were here when I came on are gone now. I think you just have to be firm as possible on banning. We all know when someone is just here to stir up shit and piss people off! It is also obvious right away who are the serious members.

With the diversity of this forum, racist shit or blatently sexist shit should be trashed.

I do like the fact that this forum has a larger amount of women than the other one I am on. Especially for a horror site. That just kicks ass!
