Hey guys, with endo 's permission, I've created a Horrors Online Fansite for us: horrorsonline.wikia.comThe object of this site is provide some info in the horror genre, through character profiles, reviews, and much more! I have it set so that I only can edit it, however, that's only because of vandalism. I would like that everyone gets a chance to participate with this, so if you've got something that you'd like featured on the site, such as a character bio, a plot summary, etc., make sure you PM me with it! Also, any suggestions for it would be much appreciated! Hopefully through this, we can make a great website, and draw more people to the forum!

Glad you think so, Loucifer. Some things that I'm planning on doing with the Fansite: - Character Profiles
My first plan for actual content on the Fansite are character profiles. Basically, there'll be some pages with boxes that feature character bios, so that people can learn a bit about the horror villains (and possibly heroes). If you've got an idea for a character, or a bio that you'd like to send me, I'd be much obliged. - Video of the Week
On the Main Page, I'll have a box with a video in it, which will change every week. I'm not sure what to put in it at the moment, so if you've got a video that you think would work, or one that you've made yourself and would like featured, make sure to let me know! - Polls
This is something fun that I think would be great to see what others in the horror fandom like. Every now and then we can hold a poll with questions that people can vote on. If you've got an idea for one, please tell me!
Thanks!

Diesel 11, the more I read about this and the more I look at the fansite, the more I like it. I'd like to either add it to the links page, or the affiliates section, or both. Have you given any though to making a banner or affiliate button for it? I can make it myself, but I feel like this is your deal and want you to do it like you want. No hurry at all. Good stuff man, thank you!

Good stuff man, thank you! Thank you very much, endo! I would definitely think it would be a good idea to add it to the affiliate section and links page. However, while I can make simple pics for the links on the fansite, I've tried making a button before... and failed. If you'd like to make one, by all means, go right ahead.

Sounds good! Also, I've just finished putting together The Horrors Online Video Archive on the Main Page of the Fansite. Currently it's the trailer for The Conjuring 2, and it'll change every week, so if you've got a suggestion, let's here it!

Hmmm, The Witch and The Boy come to mind just because I really want to see them and get asked about them all the time at work. Krampus was great as well. You could even feature a classic horror movie once in a while. Just suggestions, do what you like!

I like that idea of featuring a classic horror movie; I'll look around and hopefully by next week I'll have found a good one! Also, I've implemented a chat box on the forum, so if any of you guys have wiki accounts, we could have a chat every now and then and talk about stuff.

Also, guys, the Main Page will be featuring links to important things happening on the forum and fansite, so if you know something that should be on it, please let me know!

The Horror Icon Tournament would be the first thing that comes to mind, and every year we have Sci-Fi September, The 31 Nights of Halloween, Arnold ShwarzeNovember, Creepmas and DVDecember. They're floating around here and I'm really not sure of the spelling right now on the November one, lol. But, yeah, always something happening. There are forum announcements for all of them in advance, so you'll know they're coming and when. This could be freaking awesome!

Good idea for the Tournament, I was thinking of that myself. I'll come up with a pic-link for it tomorrow when I can think of some good pictures.

I made a quick banner for the links page, just basically took what you had on the fansite and cropped and resiized it to fit. I think it looks alright, maybe get a little fancier down the road, but it'll at least let people know and be able to access it right from the links page. Would that work at least for the time being? I'll do an affiliates button on my day off.

Yeah, that looks great endo - I think it'll go quite well considering that's the font I use on there (though it might change soon; I recently had to send my laptop away for repairs, so when I get it back the text might be more gothic style... but I'll cross that bridge when I get there ).

Can easily change it at any time. Just wanted something up there, I'll add it now.
