I've been observing for about a week, and this forum is really becoming dead lately. This is down to the members. Most just view threads without commenting (notice how some threads have, like, 176 views and 3 comments), use the PM feature or just log in and view the board for hours.

It has gotten to a point where there are only about three consistent posters. I know I probably shouldn't say this, but none of them are a part of the admin/mod team.

This forum is still in it's early stages, and promoting really isn't the problem ~ existing members just need to post.

I'm sorry, but it is getting a bit ridiculous.

Well i kinda get the impression that alot of members here arent true horror fans (im not really talking about any of the active members), if that makes sense? Or they're only fans of like...'Scream' or 'IKWYDLS', so they have nothing to say about anything else lol.

I know what you mean. It's a little bit cray when the Children's TV section is more popular than the one for General Horror.

Even if that is the case though, we have a LOT of threads that are for games and just general talk ~ threads used to reach about 13-14 pages. Now we're luck to get 2.
The view-count/post-count for this thread just proves my point, really.

Well, some of us ARE usually consistent posters (like me) but have had stuff come up recently preventing us from posting as much as we could

I'm horribly sick. John's been on a trip the past few days.
I DO agree that some people should post more, but I get that sometimes there are real life things though @.@

I get that. If something happened in your life that was so horrible that you couldn't post here, why come and use the PM system and view random topics (My exhale thread gets viewed very frequently)?

It isn't the lack of posts that I find REALLY to be the problem, it's the members who login, view and leave.

Well, I like to keep updated and such even when I'm sick and I do post if I see something D:
Sometimes I don't see stuff to post in so I just log in and log out. But I also have the highest post count b a big number :P

Again, I do agree its kinda strange and frustrating with other people lol

It wasn't aimed at you, lol. I have a list of the main people who do it, and I feel like sharing it. I'm wary though, because as much as I love drama I could get in trouble *cough* SLASHED!!! *cough*

Honestly, there are some days where threads for movies Ive never seen (or random conversation topics I have no interest in, like the food threads and Games) are the most active. So I dont know what to say,really. There are other days where Im really busy, like the last week. I have my reasons and well...I DO post quite a bit, even when Im busy. Hell, I wouldve gotten on during my trip this week if I had internet access.

You could PM the list to the admins if you felt concerned about posting it
I bet we have a LOT of the same people. In which case it all seems to fall under SarahD's original explanation of more bein Scream-fans than horror fans
