the forum can be useful at times...
I quite often get out of it what i initially came for - information and insight on movies i dont know - plus a chance to chat about the ones i do know. when i joined i was working at a place where i was basically getting paid to sit on my butt and do nothing so i posted a lot on everything (i have varied interests - movies music books - so it kept me busy.) unfortunately and/or fortunately - an online forum is pretty much a reflection of the society that uses it - only there is an unusually high concentration of abhorrent behavior on a forum - (especially a horror forum) because of the nature of posting - faceless and remote from the other posters - and nature type of folks that horror movies can attract. This often brings out the negative more than the positive of the posters - feeling that in the online society you really have no accountability for your actions or words. you cant be touched - you cant see the expression on the faces of the people you are offending. You will see behavior here that is accepted that would be deemed sociopathic in real life. There are always positives with the negatives .. I've made some friends and interract with some folks that would be the kinds of people i would interract with in person had i met them at work, etc ..instead of a foum. I do not consider this place a home away from home .. the people here are not my family and never will be. I dont understand the folks that proclaim it to be for themselves - but thats their business. if not for those few individuals i really enjoy chatting with (and trading flicks with) i think this place would present a far more negative expirience that i would be willing to participate in. i treat people online the same way i would in life .. absolutely no different at all. i believe with all my heart that that isnt the same with the majority of people that post in this or any other forum... at least from what i've seen - i hope not.

Forums can be a grand thing if you can find one you like. This is only the second one I've been on that I've stuck around for long periods of time, the other being The Straight Dope (I quite because they went subscription.)
First, I'm obviously here because I love horror. I like to learn about it, talk about it and help other people out when I can. You can actually get decent opinions and conversations going on here. Inevitably, 90% of the threads will degenerate into off-topic sexual innuendo, but you can usually manage to get some good thoughts before it does.

Have you checked down south? We've actually got a few good discussions going on, and about movies, no less!
One of the great things about forums is you can take the time to focus your thoughts and write well considered opinions. You have no such luxury in real life, as stuttering over your words or taking time to think about your answer becomes awkward in face to face conversation. *edit* And, you can go back and correct embarrassing spelling errors if you have a habit of posting before you finish your coffee.
