Bludge had the technical prowess, but yeah, him being unreliable killed things. We can't get into a Marco situation again.

Dream and Z work well as a double-act. I guess at some point we either have to learn to do something or start paying someone to do it. But given that HMF has no funds to speak of, the former is by far the cheaper option, but also by far the harder one.

Whenever they complained that they wanted updates, they had no answers for what to actually update. Methinks they were trying to make it more like Facebook, without saying Like Facebook.

I didn't even think Buldge's designs were any good, I thought they were downright horrible.

I don't remember what Bludge acutaly put together in truth. I think it would be worth having a thread for what people's ideal board would look like/act like.

Lets just do the same thing with no old posts. I see the merit, but I think it could be worth trying to put something together.

Question... Will it be just a forum board or like the old where it did a front page and news stuff too?

Well, I think that brings into this a whole bigger question.
We do want a forum. And we have that as our main raison d'etre at the minute as regulars. We have had all sorts in the past and perhaps should do again in the future, but the question is how much do people have an apetite for doing these things. We toyed with a horror wiki (that collapsed), a hot girls calendar, and a reviews archive. We also had a radio show or two, a newsblog, and a horror release-date calendar. Do we still want stuff like that, or are we just a forum.
It is genuinely hard to work out what is best. I like the idea of having several facets to us, but I don't know that we have the manpower to do this, since it is all on a volunteer basis.

You're like an old Bond villain that secretly helped to blow up the board for your own mean shenanigans for a new one. I am on to you...

I always said I was Sebastian Groth, mild mannered auditor. I'm secretly Sebastian Groth, CEO and Chairman of Globat. FUUCK YOUUUU Horrorcunts. he he he I mean, in an ideal world if HMF was fault-free, I would tend to agree that it was my favourite by far and easy as anything to use.

Save Delete Found this. Not sure I understand much, but it at least has a bunch of options available.

Bludge was never the answer. Just a shame we didn't have someone like him without the unreliable disappearance. basically, the dream would be if Dream and Z could learn to program and make HMF their puppy. I glaze over when Mark talks about programming. It's like a foreign language to me, I do not understand it at all.

I believe it is WowBB. I think that's basically what we need. assuming tech help girl is right and the error is with the new php code. I do like the idea of updating overall to a platform that will grow with us. As far as the website, I liked the newsblog and some of the other features, would like to see them remain but can understand if we want to continue with just the forum. I would volunteer to do a monthly opinion piece for the site. I suck at finding reliable news to write about but opinion pieces I could manage. I tried to do an article on the newsblog once and failed miserably. Would like something simpler where we submit an article to someone and they post it on a page that links off of the main site or something like that. Like how the forum is still tied in with HMF look wise, the newsblog needs to have that same theme right along with it.

Like how the forum is still tied in with HMF look wise, the newsblog needs to have that same theme right along with it. Insofar as what the site should contain, I think that if we start with solely the forum with the option to add other features (Newsblog, Reviews, etc), it would work out well. Because while we here may overly dislike a Review section, for example, maybe many of the members not here (but otherwise active), would, and as such, might be worth talking about. Basically, the primary focus should be the forum, and everything else should be secondary.
