Yeah I remember the old days. When the board was started back in 97, horror was pretty much a largely unexplored genre far from the mainstream. DVDs were fairly new and any self-respecting horror fan was building his collection via all the great bootlegs from Blackest Heart Media and others.
Man it was great. When were one of the premiere horrorboard with so many well-versed and intelligent members and moderators. I may have been a hard ass back than, but I was really hoping to build this community and I think as a whole we did great for so many years. Now I have no hard feelings towards anyone, but I just banned Kai...jk  and I hope the feelings are mutal. I also want to thank all you awesome people who are the real foundation of HorrorSpeak and have been keeping it alive and kick for over 10 years.
It has been really hard now a days to keep a messageboard thriving, because they really have gone the way of the dinosauer in so many ways. Not because they are not a excellent hub to exchanging ideas, information, and opinions, but due mainly to the avent of all the crappy social network sites like myspace, facebook, etc.
Now with that said, I want to make a personal committment to the board again. I will commit to starting or participate in at least a few post each day (except whem I go to Greece for 2 weeks next month). I still think there are a lot of great discussion we can have and hopefully we continue to educate each other. I also, promise to allow most of the off-topic post as long as they don't insult others. I have the confidence that we are all adult and can continue to build this community.
Finally, what can we do to make it better? Add forums, moderators, etc. Let me know.
Also, if any of you old timers or new times want to IM me you can reach me online at aol as horrorguru.
I look forward to getting more involved and thanks for everything.
