I call BS on both counts. Send the package to someone in the country then, but don't send it to The Flayed One or Gorephobia.

ferretchucker 02-20-2011 06:39 AM

Where's the Flayed package?

I've pointed this out before. He's playing head games with you.

"What's that? You want the package? Well, I was considering sending it but since you asked about it I shall no longer do so. Furthermore, I'll continue to insinuate I'll be sending it shortly just to screw with your head, and the moment you crack and ask about it I'll say you asking about it has delayed it further."

I didn't realize The Flayed One was a petulant 10 year old boy.

All this talk of packages is very cloak and dagger. What are the packages? I feel like Dustin Hoffman in Marathon Man...

'Is it safe?'

I hope you aren't going to drill my teeth for butting in!:eek:

Sistinas666 02-20-2011 05:32 PM

With all this sex and package talk I fear Monsterdad may reappear!:eek:

ChronoGrl 02-20-2011 05:35 PM

I still have never seen Marathon Man...

newb 02-20-2011 05:43 PM

Good to see peeps still around here. Guess we'll just have to wait out the slow period.

Lets not turn this thread into drama about the packages. They'll move when they move.

cheebacheeba 02-20-2011 06:41 PM

Which is never.

...just sayin'

I come here to read news on up coming horror movies etc. The general forum has gone down hill since i stopped posting here. Too many happy b day threads, etc. They should just have one b day thread and put everyone's bday announcements on there. I think the mods did too good of a job in getting rid of the jerks. It's what i said would happen after one of my bannings. If you get rid of every one who doesn't see things the way the majority of people see things. you will end up with a boring forum where everyone agrees on everything. Or probably the way horror movies are going at the moment , there is nothing to talk about. Can't think of the last time a actually really good horror movie came out.

Fearonsarms 02-21-2011 12:27 AM

I'm a fresh faced newbie so doubtless I'll be jumped on soon enough lol I imagine there's been a bit of chaos here with bannings and personal attacks? Anyway I too haven't seen Marathon Man I saw a clip of that "dentist" scene and I'm scared enough of dentists as it is without making that worse lol I even look like a horror character with one of front teeth missing or a pirate!Shiver me timbers!

Oh yes, let's not talk about anything controversial. That'll bring in the viewers.:rolleyes:

It never ceases to amaze me how passive everyone is about this subject, and how inhumanly stubborn the culprits are. I especially love the way Gorephobia wrote in about nobody liking him anymore, but still won't send the package.

It's good to see Festered is alive and well on the forums.

Of course, I never would have banned him in the first place. However, some can't help but to entrench themselves into a never ending witch hunt. Let the OMC/Bane/Mosterdad cycle begin afresh once more.

Well, the jumping on may commence sooner than you think depending on whether you're a Red or a Blue?

The place is much more tranquil and civilised now but a lot less incident filled. A few more fireworks are fine/inevitable but, if you think back to how things were, you'd soon be fed up with all the purile bickering and, in many cases, bullying.

fiend_skull 02-21-2011 03:17 PM

Haven't been all that frequent, but still here.

I was mocking his point that everyone agrees ;)

BookZombie 02-21-2011 05:12 PM

Amphibious Wretch this is a little off topic but what are that flying fish with teeth you have on your profile? And what movie is it from?

bwind22 02-21-2011 08:00 PM

Who gives a shit about the packages? Failed experiment. If they didn't stop at Gore & Flayed, they would have stopped at someone else down the line. Why? Because you can't depend on a bunch of random strangers on an internet horror forum to do what they say they'll do and mail you a box of other people's random unwanted crap.

Wicker Fan, here's an idea. Why don't you start up a new package, keep Gore & Flayed off the list and see how long it goes. I'd wager it doesn't make it to more than 3-4 people before that one stops too, but hey, then you'll have someone new to complain about for a while.

cheebacheeba 02-22-2011 12:41 AM

If you want to send it to me first, that would be ok.

Nah, I wouldn't put myself on the list...I wouldn't want anyone to have to work the expense of sending it to Australia and likely WOULD be delayed at least a couple of weeks in sending it back out.

But seriously...I think bwind has a point, it started off with good intent, but it's hard to believe that those two would be the only ones to fuck it up.
Personally I'd like to think I wouldn't, I mean that is if one was going around MY country, but hey...
- Though I will say, it's hard to believe that a person/people could seriously (especially since one is evidently gainfully employed in a business synonymous with freight) have actual issues in working it out - it is a little insulting when one doesn't have more than laziness and greed to serve as their excuses.

As for the place becoming stagnant, yeah seems to be suffering from a pretty large activity gap right now, but hey then again if everyone that posted in here made a thread of their own...etc etc...
I admit personally, I'm part of the "problem" in a ways - though I still post where I post and even though only in a small percentage of the conversations I don't mind logging in, having a look at what others watch, play and recommend.
It's unfortunate that it's not booming but really...I'd just try and use the "spare" time more productively if it's boring in here, go for a few walks, pick up a short course...speaking first hand, when you're busier you're not only self improving (well, dependent upon your activity of choice) but you'll notice things like forum lulls a lot less.
Then, next time you've got some free time to yourself, come back and shit on about all the stuff you've been doing instead of being on here.
I know, it's hard. Forum dependence is a rampant issue.

ferretchucker 02-22-2011 05:48 AM

It's quite interesting that since this thread there seems to be more activity on the board. It's like watching a flower slowly bloom...we must treat it carefully. Little bits of water at a time so as not to drown it.

There's no way I'd start up a new package because I think you're 100% correct. Three attempts have proven that there's always going to be somebody who messes it up. It's sad, but not too surprising.

Hopefully, this will never be attempted again.

Straker 02-22-2011 07:05 AM

Seven pages of inane bullshit and offtopic ramblings and half of you sit there scratching your heads at why the forum doesnt see much activity beyond regular posters....

You can change your page view settings to double the amount of posts per page if you'd like. 4 pages of inane bullshit and offtopic ramblings doesn't seem quite as bad as 7. Just sayin...

Huh? If you hope it won't ever be attempted again, then why not just let it go? Who cares who dropped the ball on a box full of junk over a year ago?

newb 02-22-2011 09:19 AM

It's actually kind of comical watching Gore making all kinds of excuses for not sending The Package.

Good name for a horror movie

THE PACKAGE

Man, what a fag. :p

And this quote from Flayed concerning Package # 3

"It's coming to me first, so whoever wants it next that will actually pass it on, let me know."

I hope it won't ever be attempted again because then we'd have 4 wayward packages rather than 3.

Sheesh! Fine! I'll never mention the subject again.

Marley's Ghost 02-22-2011 01:05 PM

I'm still here
I post when I'm able
Many have left
Pushed their chairs from the table

And so it goes
Another lull is upon us
You have to admit
This place ain't what it once was

People got bored
Or found other havens
It seems like facebook
Is now what they're craven

Maybe it's time
To pack up and leave
HDC is going under
For this we can grieve

It was fun while it lasted
Many friends we did meet
Had some fun games
The battle was a treat

So farewell and adieu
For now I take my leave
Maybe I'll return
If ever the package retrieve

Hold on, are you a new account of an old member? For someone who hasn't been here a year yet you know an awful lot.

@Chrono Shush, you big lezza :D

Why can't it be horror AND gay porn? Bruce LaBruce could direct it. Ferret could star.
