I've noticed it too lately.
I'm not really sure what it is though - I wouldn't be too quick to blame anyone or anything.
There's still conversation happening after a fashion.
I have my go-to threads, though I admit to having a predominately lurker based membership...I find thread contribution a lot easier than thread creation personally, could be the same for some others.

This forum has been dying a slow death for years now. I still check in regularly but seldom post because there's rarely anything interesting being discussed.

April is virtually the furthest from Halloween season. The forum activity will pick back up as we get closer to then.

I was wondering about the lack of posts in another thread. I hope this forum doesn't die. I thought it was the best one on the Net. I only found a few others and they don't seem active either and they don't have as many members. Although, there was that thread here that mentioned that a lot of the horror.com members are bots.
Anyway, after watching Lost Girl, I remembered a scene in an old horror movie. I'm trying to come up with more details so I can ask you guys and girls for help with a title. So, I hope people are checking the forum.

How is that show? The advertisements haven't done anything to pique (sp?) my interest.

I hear ya.
To me the tone in here is much friendlier than it is in the domestic general forum i visit at times, believe it or not. Probably because it consists of only danish assholes whereas in here i'm the only danish asshole. We should all be happy about that. :D

1. I will never charge anyone for my awesomeness.
2. I start plenty of threads, but only when I have something horror-related to discuss. (See True Crime section for my most recent thread created which was just a few days ago.)
3. I also hope the forum doesn't die. I'm just making the observation that participation has been on a fairly steady decline for at least 2-3 years now. While we may only have 1 Danish asshole here, there are plenty of other assholes that can make a somewhat abrasive welcoming committee which results in only the very thick skinned sticking around for more than a few days. It's a fairly simple equation. Fewer new members equals fewer new discussions occuring equals less participation all around.

When i started here in 2005 we were much, much worse and still there was a lot of activity (most of the time).
Maybe debate forums are just outdated and most debaters uses other/newer kinds of platforms now.

I made a Facebook account just to keep in touch with the HDC crew. It's fine but it doesn't have the charm of this forum.
As far as the "welcoming committee"....this place is nothing like it was years ago....it was fucking brutal, but a lot of it was done in fun. Still miss some of Dracs welcomes. :D

Haha, oh yes. I remember my welcome as well. It was harsh. I gave some shit back, and Drac seemed to enjoy that.

Back then, all the hazing & razzing was essentially contained to the Welcome Forum though. Anyone that skipped a "Howdy" message and just jumped right in was basically spared. Also, because it took place on every single thread there, it was plain to see that it was primarily done in good fun.
Now such hazing is forbidden so none of us assholes have an outlet for our assholiness and it tends to creep into our regular on-topic posts in the form of snide replies to honest yet naive questions, flat out rude comments or even accusations of new people actually being old banished people returning to cause trouble before they've actually caused any. I'm not really judging any of us for that, I'm sure I do it too on occasion and I'd be surprised if there weren't a few people on here that think I'm a dick. All I'm saying is that we have to be realistic when we're assessing the general tone of this forum. Why it's been getting progressively quiet/slow around here for years isn't that hard to figure out...
For the record... Without question, some members are bigger assholes than others while still others are not assholes at all. I am not calling every person here individually an asshole. Us assholes know who we are.

I like Lost Girl. It's another hidden monster type show. The two leading ladies are cute and have fun characters.

Haha, yeah. Mine was definitely mild, especially compared to some of the other ones I remember seeing back then.
Haha, when Doc posted that, I remember thinking, "Man, I have to come back at him with something, otherwise they'll all think I'm lame."

I remember thinking the same thing. I believe my reply was "Well, I guess you haven't really been welcomed until *can't remember who it was, don't think it was Drac* tells you to shut the fuck up.
I'll have to see if I can find it.
Ha! Found it! Brought back some great memories! Too funny!
