fatherbowdern,
Only this discussion forum changes. Everything else about this site remains in tact. All links, posts, images, txt, everything from the main page outward, remains.
As for references and links already here in these forums, they will also remain. I will lock this forum so new posts cant be made, but it will all still be here for anyone to read or refer to, anytime.
fatherbowdern, as I mention at the start of this thread, the new forum software I run with is very unlikely to be able to migrate these posts across because it will use a vastly different database. But I will explore the possibilities!
This forum we are using now will not disappear. I will leave it here, locked, for referencing.
Captain.
I think it was a successful attempt to keep the film unsaturated, therefore ensuring it remained unique and mysterious.
It worked fine until the internet, in my opinion – when images of Regan started to be easily accessible and thus ruin the mystique.
NECA just bought the merchandise license and are producing figurines (The Spider Walk and the BobbleHead have been released), with more to come in the near future.
The problem with an off-site forum, Ryan, is that your current login won’t work. Everyone would need two logins – one for the site to comment on posts, and another for the forum. I’d prefer to keep it simple and have one login take care of everything.
There are phpbb forums developed to be plugin to this blog software (WordPress) which I am currently testing.
You’re right Justy, WordPress provide such a plugin and I’m looking int that at the moment. I think many users here over a period of time have expressed preference for a PHPBB/Vbuletin board.
I’d prefer to stick with WordPress updates, mainly for security reasons, but also for compatibility and features for users. 🙂 Thanks Witch.
Most definitely will include an easier login method with the new layout. Will also consider the width/formatting of the next forum, thanks Jagged!
I will not be migrating away from WordPress. Only the forum plugin will have to change as WordPress progresses forward, there are no forum programmers keeping it working against wordpress update releases.
I’ve spent a LOT of time and money to ensure hacking won’t happen again – and the site is backed-up every 6 hours. 😉
Impressive work. I’m in the same game so I understand how much nerve it takes to post something like this and put your work ‘out there’. Kudos! It seems you definitely have a knack for camera work.
This is a real shame. It could have been so much more. At least, as you say, there is something there for horror fans in general who may not know a lot about The Exorcist or have seen TFOG.
And, to be fair, FOG did cover many bases. It would be tricky for any future articles to NOT fall back on it.
The NECA cover is BLERG. There is a fine line between profit margin and selling out… The NECA stuff wouldn’t have been so bad with a different cover, perhaps?
Yup, 90% of the stuff you see here has been provided by fans from around the world – that’s why it’s The Exorcist FANsite 🙂
Shining and Jaws absolutely. I watched Poltergeist recently and unfortunately it doesn’t hold up so much. It’s very clearly 80’s in a bad way… especially the animations. Might be due for a remake any day now.
