Seriously? That is hideous dude. At least on a phone it’s turned the forums into a long garbled fucking mess.

yeah, this. Anything longer than one sentence is just an eyesore on that front page. What's wrong with just a tagline or a simple, subtle quote that sums things up?

Friday the 13th
You may only see it once, but that will be enough.



A Nightmare on Elm Street
Whatever you do, don't fall asleep.


Halloween
Behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply...evil


The Evil Dead
"Naturum De Montum", roughly translated: Book of the Dead.



Sleepaway Camp
...You won't be coming home.


Phantasm
If you're looking for horror that's got balls...It's found you.

Hellraiser
Demon to some. Angel to others.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
Who will survive...and what will be left of them?

I’d go with these 100%. The site looks wonky with those big blurbs. Really weird.

I thought it added emphasis to the most important boards on the forum.

I would do away with all the movie specific forums and make them more general like Vampire, Zombie, slasher, Creature features, and so on. How many threads are we expecting in a Phantasm or Texas Chainsaw Massacre forum? Everything related to each would fill out one thread. I think it would appeal more to new visitors if there were not so many barren forums in the most important section the Horror section.

That was my point about revisiting these in November and removing non-starters. It looks odd to me to have tons of not often used subsections.
