I am wondering what else can or could be done to get some more activity. Seems the focus is on James Rollins' board, even though Jim Czajkowski has mentioned this board on his site for his fantasy pen name. I feel like I have done everything I can do to get some activity. By mentioning this board with a link, HYPERSTORM is now member here.
With all the hype of Twilight, one would have thought that would have brought in some members and activity, instead the opposite. We should consider why~
There are just other sites with more detail, and engrossing topics and activities for Twilight than Forbidden Past. Also, those that have no interest in Twilight seem put off by it.
I suggest before adding other authors to remember why Forbidden Past came about to begin with, a love of books and James Clemens. Confusing members with hype like Twilight is daunting. There should be open discussion. And possibly a member/staff vote to add anything more.
Without community, as in community involvement, what is there to stop at just adding Twilight, why not have Anne Rice and anything vampire~related on top of that...
It would be too much to just branch out like that, from out of nowhere. And go in a different direction than when the board began.
That, is my take on the situation at hand.
~^*^~
I clearly remember when I began using Forbidden Past, that there was a whole community here, just from those that love Jim!
Where did they all go...?
~^*^~ ^*^ ~^*^~
I came back *snuggles*
Because I just couldn't stay away
This board is a part of me
And I am glad to call Forbidden Past my home
^*^
I love Callidus, Filendie, Mallic, & who could forget Neelahn *loves*
And, now I'm the first Godslayer Chronicles staff member: Dart
One of the loveable characters from Shadowfall & Hinterland
And, just like Dart, I feel my home, here, is Sundered, longing for the world that will never return to how it was. But, like Dart, I want to use my gift and abilities into making whole what is now broken and shattered...
Forbidden Past is my Myrillia *sniff*
Guess what I am trying to say is, where's our ser Tylar de Noche to bring about the change that we need. I'm here to take that change and give it form through my Unsundered blood (my sweat & tears) and make it visible for everyone else to see...
A vision that I can see clearly, the way only someone like Dart, ever could.
Your faithful member and friend,
