I was just pondering over if this site becoming a big name is gonna be as good as it seems...
You know how Doombuggies is if you've ever dropped in to take a quick peek; It's a mad house; the members are over at least a good 300+; that being said, It can be hard to get to the top from the bottom; and we all are sort of a family right now; at least those who contribute on a regular basis...
When we do end up with 100 users, and at least 50 who are normal, this feel I get here at these forums may become a thing of the past...
I always was a fan of the fact that we never were a community where we need to hide behind another Trolling member of a mini gang to keep our self in the heat of things; (as I learned early on, with my over the top Modern V.S. Classic scheme which I learned a thing or two about the users here; good things) We all have our differences, but we are easily able to solve them. There are times we all get into arguments, but we all seem to get back on the same page...
But there isn't a multitude of factions running there own gangs with leaders and such that you see on most forums; With the power players, the Trolls, and the nit-pickers; we all are together...
Being a Mod, or having the most posts doesn't mean I'm not going to feel the effects of this if it where to happen, but I'm hoping we don't become one of those type of forums...
Because our forum is one I can be proud of, no doubt about it.
What do you think? Anyone else anti-Faction an anti-Troll?

I'm with you. The website is more popular than ever right now and traffic is through the roof. And, this forum is on fire! I think word of mouth, facebook, t-shirts, and website updates are helping people connect and return. It is definitely more popular than I ever could have imagined when I started coding my first webpage at my kitchen table nearly there years ago.

This forum is easy to read, and easy to navigate - the halloweenforum is pretty much a zoo...
Of course, I'm a member there, and there are thousands of others on the website at one time. The forum is just huge, and sometimes it's just too hard to get around...

I don't think so HHmacarbe...Troy, you however might be doing so...
As we all know I have the most posts, but I never post just to post. Everything means something. I just want to make sure it isn't gonna turn into to Doombuggies.com, where a nobody stays a nobody forever, and the founders are the power trip running the place; Not that I mind being part of a power trip; but I like the site the way it is...

If things do get out of control maybe a limit on posts a day would help

Not once have I said, "Wow, Mike has 900 posts, so I need to start posting more." But I have said, "Wow, Mike has a lot of posts, and he must be contributing to the HH forum!"

I was the first HH master tho Actually, the origanal Ranking as called "God" but that was only for like 2 days then Brandon changes it, that was also when he changed Beginner to HHRookie yeah, im glad that mostly everyone here puts stuff that goes along with the topic, but i like putting off-topic stuff in the Talkn' the'talk section, just because this is a small friendly message board and we all kinda know each other.
by the way, i dont know everyones first name. i know Brandon, Mike, and Nick, (and for everyone else, my name is Troy). just wondering, but what are your first names?

I never pay attention to how many posts anyone has ever had. It doesn't matter how much you post, it doen't matter who was the first Haunted House "master". Just enjoy talking to people about the stuff that you enjoy. And by the way, my name is Frank. Hi!

I remember that day you got the GOD member rank; I was just a senior member at the time...ah, that was my first tenure here...back when life was simple...
I like the way our forum is; we all know each other quite well for people who we have mostly never met...

yeah, i miss the good ol days too mike, the only thing was that most forum members (when I joined) dont go on anymore (besides Brandon of course) yeah, i remember they didnt like me when I first joined because they were all Bill Tracy lovers, and i didnt know jive about him.
I also miss the days i had good youtube vids, i was the first to have POV footage of the Pirates Cove and Aladindns lamp. But hen everyone else had better cameras and HD came out, i just decided, f**k IT! I bet there are more people who can get better vids up. and i was fine with that . also if nobody has seen my broken-down footage, check it out, i re-uploaded it and btw I was 11 when i filmed this so dont give crap about my voice!
yeah, i like the forum today allot better though
