Horror Junkies™

I currently run a horror genre website, which has a main website, forum, blog, and more. I've been putting a lot of work into since about late 2007, and it's a huge passion of mine. It'd be cool if I could do some kind of affiliate thing with this site, and I'd love to link this site to mine if somebody could provide me some sort of cool banner or image(I saw a signature banner in another thread here that had the website name in a bunch of diagonal lines, that one was pretty cool).

My website is www.horror-junkies.com so if there's something we can set up, please let me know! Also, some feedback and criticism(Good or bad helps) on my site would be great. I haven't had much feedback, so I'd like to know how I'm doing with it and if there's anything I should change or not. I'm also looking into making a few new banners possibly.

Love your site. Your blog is great and you have stuff there I haven't even seen or read about yet, and I try very hard to stay on top of what's happening in horror.

Like the way you have it all set up and that you've made it into your own network. Pretty cool set up. Your forum is fine, just needs to get going, but that will come in time.
I found it funny that your forum and this one both have members with the user name Living Dead Girl, and I don't think they're even the same person, lol.

I'm certainly no expert on how to run a horror forum, I just knew I loved horror and wanted somewhere of my own to talk about it. But, in my opinion you have good stuff going on over there.
I'd be happy to do a banner exchange or affiliate with you. I have a couple of banners of ours that you could choose from.
Let me know how you need them sized and I'll put some up for you to look through. In the meantime I'll add your banner to the affiliates section on the main page.

So, good luck with your site, I'm sure you'll be fine. You're certainly welcome here any time, and thanks for the banner thing, hope it helps both of us.

Thanks for the kind words! I've put a ton of work into the site. To make a long story short, before this site I owned a SAW fan site. This one was just a side project. I let my .com domain for my SAW website expire one day, and somebody just jumped on it and not only bought it, but stole my website name too. I didn't really know what to do, so I just switched to devoting my time to Horror Junkies, and I'm glad I did, because the SAW franchise eventually ended lol. I have had one small obstacle(Some guy bought horrorjunkies.com and stole my website's name and slogan), but I've been able to dominate him as competition lol. I try to stay on top of the latest news as much as I can.

Thanks for adding me, I really appreciate that. I'm glad to say you guys will be the first on my affiliates page, since I'm finishing it up today. As far as banners go, I don't have any specific size needed, but I like the size of the one in your signature, so maybe something around that size?

Again, thanks for the kind words, nice to have some feedback, and I'll definitely be around. I really like what you've done with this place. I dabble in Proboards a bit, but this is one of the best I've seen lol.

Thanks very much, we appreciate it. Couldn't have done it without Tony and Scott.

I'll post a few banners, including the one in Tony's sig that you mentioned. Use any of them you like for us, but I guess if I had a preference it would be the one you mentioned.

I just finished redesigning my entire website. I also set up an affiliates section and placed one of your banners there, so head to www.horror-junkies.com if you wanna check it out.

I'm not sure at the moment, but I feel like the website is kinda empty since it doesn't really have any ads on the page(I know that probably sounds stupid), so I'm considering dumping the affiliates page and just placing banners around the website(Like on the top, sides, and bottom of the pages. What do you think?

Lots of sites do that, and if done right, I think it looks pretty good. All in what you want it to look like. You obviously know how to do this stuff pretty well, so you could always try it out and if the finished product isn't what you wanted, tweak it or start over.

I wouldn't know how to do most of that, lol. Takes work for me just to add an affiliate. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Thanks. It actually is only hard to do things like this the first few times you do it. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple. I used to use Yahoo Geocities, and when they shut down, I found place that works almost the same. If you want a site for your forum, I wouldn't mind doing one for you. They're pretty fun to mess with once you get into it.

I appreciate the offer, but we have a Facebook page I never update cause I know nothing about Facebook. Another member, GoreFather, started a Twitter page for us, an if he doesn't keep that one updated it'll be the same way there, lol.

Not real good with the social media sites. Just afraid this would sit gathering dust, but thank you.
