What if we created a 'show' for ONLY HDC members?...One where we all know everyone who's calling in, and we can hang out together?...It would be just like our forum here, but instead of posting, we'd be speaking!

And EVERYONE else that we haven't heard from


So...What do you guys think?

Depending on the night (Tuesday's are always tied up for me) and the time.

I would be game if you wouldn't mind an old lady vampire as part of it.

I'd call in for sure if I knew how much it would cost.

So do I - If it is in the UK.

Just some observations.

1. No matter which way this radio/live talk forum works out, someone will have to pay; at the moment it definitely looks like the Brits and or Europe.
2. The time factor will be an issue which ever way you look at it.

There is a danger that because of this, any HDC Radio will become more 'Here' and less 'There'. By that I mean any discussions made during a talk show, will undoubtedly be brought to the written forum, with those members who cannot participate become a little put out by it, eg

Talk show:We are all going to Horrorfest, yah.
The rest:Horrorfest We don't have a Horror fest :( , (end of discussion for us)
Talk show:Pity............. Like I said cant wait, Horrorfest it's so good, blah, blah
The rest: Log Off 'click'
That's probably over dramatic but .........

Does this mean that people who can participate in a live talk have to watch what they say, for fear of alienating those who for what-ever reason cannot participate.


**"Im trying to organise a little forum thread "Oscars", I would love if every body would take part, but I know that wont happen; I would love to have a "Live" virtual awards night where everybody can take part in, where people can "present" an award rather than me or a tiny few making it up as we go along.

Some members have even suggested having the awards live via Gore's show, great idea,........... who's going to do that, will anyone be there, for this to be live it would have to be on late or very early.

When I suggested it, the first thing said was "yeah, I want to be involved", next question "what time is it on"; the response has so far, from the Brits I may add "I dont have to stay up alnight to see it" **



I am not actually against a HDC radio show and I am currently assessing, not only do I wish to pay, but can I afford to, especially when I work during the day, and can't really afford to stay up all hours of the morning.


**Please excuse the "plug" just trying get some interest going here.

I am currently 'in talks' with Gore to see if he can create a show exclusively to HDC, on a different site that DOES have the option to plug in a microphone so that all of our members outside of the US, AND our members who don't have free long distance INSIDE the US, can still participate for free (well, for the price of a microphone :))...The phone number for it isn't toll-free, but a lot of us have free long distance inside the US

Dustin found the site, and it looks REALLY freakin' awesome...

This way, Gore's regular show will still be open for the people who have THAT web address and phone number...And we will have a brand new one, just for the forum, that no one else knows about ;)

[bleeding_angelgirl]

i think its a great idea. me and you would have to have a plan, considering we sound alike and it would get confusing.

Will this place have an archive to listen to after you have a show?...I don't see one right now...Do you think it will come up after a show?...Are you gonna use the webcam feature? ;)

It'll probably take us a little while to figure it out, cuz it's new to us :)
