Yeah, new members usually post stupid shit. Like asking a question about a popular movie that has only been asked 100 times. They need to use the SEARCH funtion.

well, i'm really not here to make a judgement on anything other than a possible reason why there are 4000 members and about 12 people who post regularily.

Its true that you get schemers and people whoring their own sites .. then buggering off immediately.

Too bad they couldnt be flagged and deleted after 30 days or something.

Yes yes, but who/what is your favourite horror villain/series?

And Halloween/Friday 13th/Elm Street are not allowed.

No...But, you DO have to join in order to bash the hell out of our site and it's members, which is exactly what the majority of the idiots that showed up during the 'Freddy Fan thing' did...

the freddy incident reminds me of a thread i'd posted earlier
regarding censorship "censorship sucks".

In there I'd metioned that in the UK, in 1993 a boy (Jamie Bulger)was killed by two other boys. The press had a field day saying it was horror films to blame. Then subsequently banned certain films which where scheduled to be shown on the terrestrial tv channels

A similar incident happened this year when again a boy was killed by supposedlly acting out a scene from a game "manhunt".

In both cases the verdict was not proven. it could not be determined whether films or games was the reason for the crime.

Many high street stores took the game off the shelves, while others had a strict age guideline for sales, which as far as Im aware Manhunt over here is rated as an 18, as is the new GTA game.

But some chidren have managed to see/play the game still, obviously parental supervisionshprs retail code is sadly lacking.

Re- horror films in general again from my thread; the majority of people realise that horror, or other such fantasy films are just that; forms of fantasy entertainment where at the end of the day, you can switch off if it's too scary or disturbing/simply not buy or rent it in the first place.

to simply blame horror and games for the violence is just a poor excuse and perhaps we should look at ourselves first.
