Oh, I hadn't noticed this thread.
I entirely agree on new members. The existing ones are slowly deleting themselves - at a faster rate than they ever did on BtVSFigs anyway. This really needs livening up a bit. Conversation threads are only having a few posts before dying, because there just isn't enough people willing to make an opinion. And even then, since this is a relatively similar group of people, there are rarely any differences in opinion, which in itself stops conversation in it's tracks.
We need to expand with invitations on other forums. I get that you want to cull the 'assholes' to stop any bitching before it starts, but that can be dealt with after they've joined up, in all honesty. Since it would inevitably become clear.

I was sad to see that some people think this board is elitist, since that was the last thing it was ever meant to be. Kal El started it and I think a lot of people liked the idea of connecting with people without certain combative people being allowed to bully others.
However, lots of members have taken the liberty to invite their own friends, which is why it grew so fast. I invited everyone I knew at all personally from the Buffy board.
But I wholeheartedly agree. If you guys have an opinion, just let us know. It's everyone's forum.
And let new members in. That's what a forum is for.

Thanks, Pedro! They sound like exciting additions. Mike invited a couple more people, too, who are already posting.

Apparently someone or multiple people have been laboring under the assumption that this is an "invite only" forum.
It has open registration. We invited people to try to grow the membership, but it was never invite only.
If you didn't notice when you signed up, we didn't have to approve your registration, you just signed up.
So please understand that while a lot of people found out about the board because current members "invited" them to join by telling them about the board, it has never been "invite only." The mods have never wanted to limit the membership, but have tried to grow it as well as we can and have asked others to help grow it too.

I would like to apoligize to all the members if I gave of the vibe that this was a members only community....I had no intent to cause anyone to feel that way..... Hopefully we can grow as a community... I believe a forum is nothing with out its members....you guys are the heart and soul of this forum. So let have some fun and let the posting begin ___KAL-EL
