tv horror Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I have noticed that most if not all posts on the forum concern the condition of comics, post after post feature these comments. I love comics and their art specifically the story behind their creation, whether it's the artists or writers and even the publishers I would like to hear more as I'm sure there are a lot of knowledgeable members on this forum. I have just been here a few years and my post count is laughable compared to others. As for comics in general I'll admit I'm a noob but I'm eager to learn, so where are the posts on the Kirby Crackle or why Marvels early art looks better than DC or Charlton's. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COI Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Can someone explain why we need more members? There were plenty of people here in 2003 to keep things lively, and the membership was a fraction of what it is today. More members won't bring my pernts back or get Dupcak to make an appearance.

Almost everything that has ever been posted here is still available to read. Thousands and thousands of old threads just waiting to be (re)discovered. You can sort each forum in multiple ways to find threads or you can Google search by domain if you're looking for something more specific. tv horror and RockMyAmadeus 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Architecht Posted February 16, 2018 Administrator Share Posted February 16, 2018 Time to update the end is coming thread? Sadly, some of the old links don't work, and I couldn't identify them all Ironically, each successive thread about how the boards are past their prime has more replies than the previous versions. That said, I do think the growth of social media, and things like facebook groups have reduced the "market share" of conversations that message boards have. A dedicated message board like this is still the best way to have long form conversations among aficionados, but some of the other avenues for discussion have soaked up some users. I always read these threads with interest (even though I am being a little tongue in cheek about it with the below thread), because there is a real ebb and flow to the community that is important to respect. I'm always interested in how I can help the community grow, either by leading, following or getting out of the way. Oh, and by the way - like limits raised a bit.

I get the irony and I get the ebb and flow thing, but at some point there is enough of a change in climate that it's worth discussing and not simply dismissing. And I'm not suggesting that you're dismissing it, but the tongue-in-cheek way that you've kept track of these kinds of threads may have the unintended effect of diminishing or obscuring some of the points being made here. Also, I'd like my custom title back, please. Edited February 16, 2018 by COI snitzer and RockMyAmadeus 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'd like my custom title back, please. Fair point. I do view these things from the long perspective, so the sentiments of the moment are always in that context for me, and that can make it feel like I'm not listening. That said, part of the reason I have a list of these threads at all is because I do listen. I know they exist because I care about how people are feeling. These boards are great, and the knowledgeable people rummaging around here are a treasure. The community is supportive, and has camaraderie and friendships, and drama, and all the things you see in a vibrant, caring group. You guys should all be proud of the community you have created, and proud of being members of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
