Re: WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE????

Rebecca,

Glad to see you drop in and comment.

When is the next issue to come out and were you going to be using "Wild Kingdom" in it? My understanding is that that image of the abandoned house was going to in the issue as well.

If I may make an observation here --

I know how cozy a forum can be and how much fun as well, from back before the web took off. Some of the same sort of "chats" that TJ referred to about Rick sound like they could have been straight from a BBS that I used to hang around, local to the Willamette Valley here in Oregon. You can some very funny stuff in the casual "pinging" on each that goes on there.

Compuserve was the same, only more so.

But it CAN'T last forever, sad as that may sound. A forum needs to shift with the users as they come and go and really needs a faithful core of three or four people who hit the forum at least three or more times a week. A moderator is also extremely good at setting the mood and prompting debate.

I'd suggest that you think about maybe breaking the forum you have now, up into three or four different forums, each with it's own focus, and prevail upon some interested reader (like TJ) to ramrod them. No, I'm not volunteering myself. I don't really get on the web much -- got too many other things going on.

[hmmm: try this for size: Forum 1: The current issue. 2: DVD/Games including reader suggestions of different movies, both new and old. 3: Science and Current Event News. 4: Whatever.]

Re: WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE????

Your story Wild Kingdom as well as you art will be in issue 52. 52 will be released very soon, I suspect within 2-3 days. Issue 52 is a big endeavor and is taking much longer than expected. As for your forum ideas they are great. I have actually been looking into a forum with a fresher look and the idea of sub categories is great. I feel a suggestion area in the forums for reviews would be a great way to see what people are wanting to be reviewed. As for you movie suggestions I'm gonna see if i can find them on nextflix because I like to watch lesser known films.


Most importantly to everyone wondering what is going on with the site. I want you to know that right now we have a dedicated team trying to bring you the best content possible. Sarah is great to work with and is putting in her best effort to bring in great content to this site. She is very involved and doing a great job. As for Dave, he isn't doing much in to front lines right now but behind the scenes he is constantly working to improve T.W.O.M. As some of you know he and his wife recently had a baby so time is tight for him. This in no way means he is gone as he has a special treat in store come around May. Please also remember we can't do this without our viewers. I want anyone to feel free to submit their work. Even if you have been turned down in the past try again as there are different people in charge of submissions now. We are also in need of columnists so anyone interested please apply. Most importantly I hope no one gives up on us because we are far from dead and have much much more to offer. :D Thanks for reading.

Re: WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE????

Thank you, T.J. and T.G. and Rebecca for making your opinions known. Please know that, as Managing Editor, I will respond to whatever emails are sent to me ASAP.

The fans and readers are very important to those of us at The World of Myth. You are the reason we exist. Writers and artists want you to read and view their work. We hope to entertain, shock, and make you laugh. That is our purpose.

Like you, I've always felt TWoM is a family. Please believe, I want it to remain that way, while still giving you a quality ezine. I believe we can do both.

Re: WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE????

Just to clarify I have total respect all of the work that Steve Bolin has done as a writer and for T.W.O.M. I have no ill feeling towards him. I merely mean't that I had ideas for T.W.O.M. but I didn't want to set on anyone's toes, because I am Dave's sister. Now that he has stepped down I can try and implement change without being pushy. I thank Steve for bringing in many new contributors and readers. He has my up most respect and I believe him to be a very intelligent and capable person. Sorry for any confusion.

Re: WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE????

I agree with you, Rebecca. Steve was a good editor. And I liked his writing.

Re: WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE????

Thank you Rebecca for your clarification and to both you and Sarah for your support. You two have always been a joy to work with and made my time with TWoM so enjoyable.

Steve

Re: WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE????

I’m not sure what you’re talking about tj but it looks fine to me. I don’t understand what your talking about maybe the hole magazine did not come through. I know that before I got my cellphone I have dsl and webpages never loaded right. Maybe use your phone too and see what happens.
