What if I magically made Ms. Kimi "Hammerfanatic" Davis reappear?
What if I said she has been a sham, I'm actually Hammerfanatic and several other high posters on this board...would you guys believe me? I might as well confess that I am in fact NOT HF...hah...but would you guys believe that if you combined all the posts from all the members I actually am....they would equal near 15,000 posts? If you researched hard enough...could you figure out who my alias's are? Am I bluffing? Does anyone remember any of the original discussions on this board before CT shamelessly deleted them soemtime in 01-02? There where clues of fraud I tell ya. Somethings where said...people where let go. Old HS lore...there is legend somewhere in this mess of posts. Once upon a time...before CT changed the kick ass cryptkeeper table of contents graphic on HoH. Back when he used to delete my posts on a regular occasion. Before there was the moderator forum where none of you guys could see me arguing with other moderators. Before the Euro-Fringe forum when bruce h treated everyone like ignorant junior members with diaper rash. Back when Grampa who hated European horror moderated...the European Horror forum...When Drive-In Nate ruled the exploitation forum. When Fallen Angel and Fenny where battling for post surpremecy only to be scolded by CT for unhorror related conversation. When CT used to boast about how this place would outlive them and all the other horror boards. When there was a trading forum. Before Matt Mc was a administrator and then left us in tormoil. Back when Scorpio gave us beautiful threads full of pictures of shirtless Hammer Horror babes. Before Mikey got the slasher forum crunk even if it was hap hazard teenager logic. We even had a forum dedicated to a single independent horror film...can anyone name it? When Blackest Heat MEdia was popular. When Kimberly was fun to talk to. When Flynn Sylabol Throat share book knowledge. We even had a writing forum where I purposfully wrote horrible writings just for reaction. so many...Shash, Blue, Stacy, Graves, Hellion, Sabata, Deadguy, Scary Larry, General Zod, Phoenix, NONNIE, Giallo Gore, Christophe_John, johnny Bubbles, Robert, Faust, Badfish, Peter Cushing, DivHour, Alfred PAcker, Murphy, N.Foster Tyler, GoatsHead, Haunter of the Dark, Gore Fan MP, MlleMOrte, Maybrick.....I suppose I'm nostaligic because about 2500 of my posts came before 2001 so they don't exsist anymore. I wish I could bring back all that old stuff, it would bring back memories. DVD was still kind of new, bootlegs where rampent. I traded with everyone. It was exciting. I can't get that back I suppose...but I can probably bring HF back. I think I can do that.

I've had an account on horrorspeak "off and on" for going on a decade, does that make me an old timer? I remember the old site, and still don't understand why it was changed. On the fan fiction thread there was a zombie short where an old couple were in a cabin or house and the woman was dead but the man had covered the bullet wound in her head and kept her for company. The place was completely boarded up and surrounded by zombies. I think it also had something to do with a piano. I thought it was good, I guess that's why I've remembered it for almost 10 years. Once everything got deleted or changed I waited around for a long time to rejoin because my account didn't exist anymore " I was kinda pissed about it". I think there should be a fan fiction and music thread on horrorspeak, but that's just my opinion. Lots of people here are interested in writing, and the horror punk/death rock scene is seeing a pretty big comeback in recent years, that alone should justify a music thread. Other than that everything's fine with me. I can remember when I was about 19 I'd come to the forums here and totally bash all of the euro horror stuff. I thought I was something special. It took quite a while for me to realize that not everyone is the same. That's probably why they make so many different types of films in the first place huh? I still think that most euro horror is trash, it's just that I don't knock the people who like it anymore. I can remember being totally off my ass on every drug known to man while bitching about Lucio Fulci movies that I hadn't even seen. Good Times! I do think some of the moderators on the forums do a good job, Misfit keeps on top of pretty much everything that's related to his thread. Several of the other guys do a nice job too but I'm not going to name them all "I'm not much of an ass kisser". If CT would like to have a music thread I'd be happy to share my absurd amount of knowledge on the subject...

Your memory really kicks ass. I'm ashamed to say I can't remember all of those people and events, although I do remember some of them. MattMC and Haunter of the Dark really stand out. So many to try and remember.... Messiah, Git, 42nd Freak, and countless others, I would have to search for days to remember most of them. I do remember some of the ignorant flame wars of the past (although not the names anymore).
A little applause for getting HF back in the fold, who else can you dig up out of the dirt?

Not a day goes by I don't think about that and have some serious regrets about how things went down. I personally would give anything to go back and make those wars never have happened.
I'll openly admit that 42nd street freak leaving is 100% my fault and it's a huge loss to the boards and a huge mistake on my part.

Well, I didn't bring him up to open old wounds. But I would imagine you are being too hard on yourself Misfit (based on past experiences with both of you). It's true that 42nd was a damn fun poster and very knowledgeable. However, he didn't have the thickest skin or the most patience in the world either. I don't recall the specifics of his leaving this far down the line, but I thought he chose to leave Horrorspeak, not the other way around (apologizes to all if that's not correct). Anyway, none of us are perfect and the best we hope to do is learn from our perceived mistakes and move on.
Who knows, the ole English chap may drop by any day for a pint. Last I remember, he was very active on a neighboring horror board which has since closed its doors.

Wow, this post almost makes me want to cry.
You can't go back to where you've been.... no matter how badly we want it.
Let's go back to when movies weren't a click and a torrent away. When you found a movie that you really wanted to see and it gave you shivers just to hold it. Let's go back to when we weren't spoiled, back to when I couldn't stream movies from my PC to my TV. Back to when we used to rush home to check HorrorSpeak and there would be tons of meaningful posts to read each and everyday. Let's go back to staying up late to catch a movie on TV. Let's go back to when movies made us happy.
Imagine edgein was Blackdeath. Remember that?
Remember when a rogue board went on a flame war with our good board. I remember logging in and the board was horriblly slow. It turned out that hundreds of posts were coming in from a rival board.
CT are you still out there?
Long live HorrorSpeak!!
Let's have a moment of silence for everything we've ever loved.

Many great people used to claim this board as their home. Me included. Sadly we all seemed to skitter away. I pop back in for a look see now and again. I see some familiar members from way back like Tony S and Creature etc who have never left and a big credit must be given to those guys. But sadly this place dried up a long time ago

This forum is still full of great people that have wonderful insight on the genre. Horrorspeak isn't what it once was but it's still the best horror forum around. I hold the opinions of a few people that still come around in pretty high regard, and I think it's awesome that people don't just come here to bitch back and forth anymore. In my opinion this place is becomming more of a tight knit community of fans rather than a place for people to start arguments. A lot of us have been around for quite some time and we've grown up a little over the years. Back in 2000 or so I'd come here just to make fun of the people who like euro horror, I don't do that anymore. I'm glad the arguments "for the most part" are over. Nowadays we mainly discuss upcoming movies and share questions about technology, and there's nothing wrong with that...

Wow . . . all those names. Those were the days! I still stop by a couple of times a year, just to see who's still around. It's nice to see some familiar names, and surprising to be even mentioned in this thread. I'm very sorry to see that most of the posts from HorrorSpeak's most active years are all gone . . . that sucks. There were some excellent discussions that IMO should have been archived.
A couple of things before I go:
- I spent a couple of days with Sabata and Wilde_Fan (aka Milo) last Halloween; we hung out, drank beers, and watched a bunch of horror flicks. Good times.
- I cannot understand why edgein would ever state that I hated European Horror! I was obsessed with it, that's why I moderated the Euro Forum! I still love that stuff and keep my DVD shelf with a healthy stock of my favorite titles in the genre.
- Oh yeah, and the name of that independent movie that we had a forum dedicated to was The Dividing Hour (which I still haven't seen).
Can anyone clue me in on exactly what happened here? Did people just slowly drift away, or was it a fast decline? It seems like we went from 50-100 active topics a day to about 5-10.
Any other old timers out there? I miss you all.
