If possible
 
Can a separate forum entitled "Promote Your Horror" be created and thus we can have all the spam in one place?

hammerfan 10-27-2015 05:30 AM

Can only be done by an admin, not a moderator

Morningriser 10-27-2015 06:09 AM

does anyone know how to contact the admin? If he isn't going to be here we need someone else to be an admin to keep control of things.

hammerfan 10-27-2015 07:45 AM

The only one that can appoint someone as admin is the owner

Morningriser 10-27-2015 08:08 AM

yes... is there anyone who knows how to get in touch with the owner?

hammerfan 10-27-2015 08:16 AM

Feeling some deja vu here. ::big grin::

The owner doesn't come around anymore

Morningriser 10-27-2015 08:28 AM

I get that but I am asking if anyone knows how to get in touch with him outside the forum

My recommendation: They promoting a book? We throw it in the Books section. They promoting a short film? We throw it in the Horror Filmmaker or Indie Horror and Short Films section. An event? We throw it in the Events section. We have too many separate forums already.

He lurks around here...

but you can't see him or feel his presence at all; keeps himself highly invisible by all means.

He doesn't contact or speak to anyone, only acts in the worst case scenario sort of situation(s)...i.e. if the site goes down by the hackers or somehow. Then he fix that & leave. But still lurks around here, I guess...::devil::

Morningriser 10-27-2015 09:41 AM

I don't see why someone would put all the time, money and effort into something like this and not even enjoy it. It makes no sense.

I found a bunch of info about the registration of www.horror.com. No name unfortunately but I found a email address and I found out that the domain is registered until July 18th 2016... That's not very promising, means we may be out a forum in less than a year...

So I shot out an email in hopes of figuring out who owns this place.

You'll let us know if you hear back, right?

horcrux2007 10-27-2015 10:55 AM

I think he left because there's no cat section.

Of course I will, I got a mailing address also, trying to figure something out with that. Short of writing a letter... Im not a snail mail kind of guy.

Morningriser 10-27-2015 11:50 AM

I can write him a letter if you want Jake.

Angra 10-27-2015 03:18 PM

I noticed something a couple of days ago. This place used to have ads everywhere. For some odd reason now there's none. I wonder why that is. ::roll eyes::

So I shot out an email in hopes of figuring out who owns this place.

Web domains are often only leased for a year at a time, and often the owner has registration set to auto-renew. Also, the email address registered is probably the one he used like 12 years ago when first registering the domain, so might not be one he checks anymore. Same with the mailing address.

It doesn't hurt to try though. That would be a bummer if this forum did shut down.


I agree with Chrono though on the forum creation... There are already a lot of forums, and it seems like there are already appropriate places for self-promotion. I only check like two of the forums on a regular basis. I can't imagine that creating new ones will increase participation.

He would have to shut the forum down and although Horror (his username here) doesn't seems to be hands on with the forum I doubt he'd just let horror.com. The domain name is worth over $1,000.

That's not a whole lot.

RavageRitual 10-28-2015 07:19 AM

I guess we should start a doomsday clock then?

It's a lot to just let disappear rather than sell it off. If you disagree to that then I have a mailing address for you and I'll take $1000 or so off your hands.

Now a pin up girl I could see. She has that certain sexy quality, but I am still not convinced about the crazy cat lady part.

That's because you don't know her very well. She's utterly insane.

Yeah...but not sure whether it's for those therapies or not but lately she's been acting surprisingly quite normal than ever. We're worried. ::danger::

aside from the forum it would be awesome to get the actual website active again with reviews, news stories and interviews.

Oh come on, if crazy cat guys can be sexy, ladies can too. ::wink::

Just an update, of course I got nothing back from that email... BUT! I emailed the people who built the site for them (Juuce) and got a response. He said that he built the site for a bunch of Americans, who then moved to Japan and he lost contact with them. He said he has a few emails and phone numbers laying around and will attempt to make contact with them for us. So at least there is that.

Seems like a pretty weird story
