The administrator doesn't seem to care about the message board, and a band of, what I would dare to call, unqualified moderators run this place. Some are nice, but many aren't. And it seems they don't care about new members since they allow them to be verbally abused by the other members. Any other forum would ban such members who engage in these hostile remarks and flaming, but this board seems to thrive on it, directing its attention away from horror movies and more into an e-club of self-righteous membership. All other horror forums don't even acknowledge this place, and that is too bad.
Personally, I enjoy the news section.

Pep rally. Right. Because we're all so cheery and supportive of each other and our...school? Is the board the school?
Correct, neither administrator seems to care about the board. And the moderators varry in qualification depending on who you ask. Though "any other" forum isn't entirely accurate, as most forums are full of people insulting one another. Which is strange, because people don't usually insult others over the internet.
And as for the lack of talking about horror, whatever. When there is horror to talk about, I usually participate. Although, there's pretty much this and one or two other folders where talking about horror is scarce, the other one being the new member folder. And even then, there's a relatively decent amount of horror being talked about. Just that people seem to get the wacky idea that this particular folder is some kind of general folder. I know, I know, it's dumb, but somehow they got the idea, and who am I to dissuade them?
