Apr 18 12 10:15 AM Burgomaster Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Asking our members: Universal Horrors is by far the most popular, most visited forum on the Good Ol CHFB. The obscure and often spectacular still photos are also popular, as are some of the wondrous colorized offerings. I wonder, though, if the stills are overwhelming the forum and the mix of the two -- discussion threads and photo threads -- is causing confusion? Or is it a sign of energy and vitality and the mix is healthy and fun? Would moving the stills lose their impact? What do folks think? No wrong answers. Just asking... david

I enjoy looking at them, but, they're not the main reason I come here. I enjoy the discussions more personally, so that's my main reason for being here. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to lose the stills, but they might be better served with their own place.

Big time kudos to all who instigate, organize and contribute to them. And the "colorized" stills are also delicious and all too often get lost in the shuffle. There'd be definite benefits to one stop shopping. Not the least of which being, you wouldn't have to keep it "Universal" only .

Apr 18 12 12:31 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	There's enough of them at this time to justify a separate area. They all have something in common. One of the things about them that make them a special species, peculiar to themselves, is that a lot, a great deal of work goes into them, with editing. Some of these edits are trivial, such as adding a more high quality version of a still , or identifying a still number to an image that all have seen before. And, yet whenever this happens, and it does frequently, it automatically pushes the thread back to the top of the list, when the change was meant to be something more internal, rather than external. But that's the nature of posting. Those who are interested in them should have no problem monitoring them for updates.

And adding in the colored shots would be a good move too. I know some of the folk who do that colorizing feel a little ghettoized in the Art forum. I vote yes to a new folder.

Apr 18 12 2:31 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Actually, Bob and I were debating seceding from the union and starting our own forum with a pay per view business model. But seriously, if we make the Universal Gallery index thread a "sticky" topic on the forum, the gallery threads themselves could live in their own forum but still be quite visible to any newcomers to the Universal Horrors forum. Similarly, if we branch out to galleries for other studios / genres, an index thread could be added to the appropriate forum to link them together. That gets them out of the way of the discussion threads but still keeps them easily accessible to those with interest. A folder under Classic Horror in Other Media seems like a logical place.

We have some really fine artists on this board, and their work should not be lumped with photoshopped "nyuk-nyuk" pictures of Una O'Connor's head attached to a chorus girl's body. There whould be a "Photo Arts" Thread with three folders: Classic Black and White, Colourised and Digital Fun House. Seriously, I love to work in Black and White, and StevieBaby and MarkChro are superb in Colour. There has also been Humour, ever since our Monsters met up with Bud and Lou. Let there be a place for all of us. :-) "E" Your Signature ... "....I do hope he won't upset Henry..."

Apr 18 12 3:27 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Yes I agree. Put the stills in a separate location. I'm brand new here but a long time looker. In my humble opinion the discussions get in my way of seeing the stills. The only reason I finally joined was to help Anthony and Bob fill in the blanks in the galleries as I have an extensive still collection. I would also say the colorized (except posters and lobby cards) should be in a separate area such as digital artwork. With stills and discussions in separate areas you can quickly get to what you really like fast. As Anthony said then someday we could have an RKO, Monogram and even MGM still gallery.

Apr 18 12 4:47 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	...for years, I have, primarily, visited this site just to view rare pics or colorized shots. Often, I have spent a great deal of time, mining through threads to find a still and often end up finding none (Son of Dracula and Return of the Vampire pics are hard to find here...or anywhere, and I often have to dig through endless threads to find any, as there is no "image search" mechanism.. A separate folder for them would be great.

Apr 19 12 5:50 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I definitely feel stills should have their own folder. I've felt that way for some time..., They're taking over the UNIVERSAL HORRORS folder.
