The message board at Horror Movie Fans is an exceptionally active forum with many dedicated members. The board is run by the fans, with a few having the ability to moderate, which usually entails deleting multiple posts. Unless something contains actually inappropriate content, the general policy of the board is to leave everything as is. That means that you can find discussions from the very first day still available to all. The board also encourages posters to create new topics as well as to answer old ones under a number of headings. Ultimately, the strength of the site is its forum, with its regular posters and community feeling.

As stated, the forum is virtually self-moderated. There is no imposition on language used, only that there is a fundamental respect between all the posters. There is some regulation of images. The forum does not allow any full-frontal nudity or images which are of an illegal nature. There are no rules as far as graphic images go. Most posters use signature pics from their favourite horror films and share pictures of in their posts. There is almost always strong and occasionally heated debate on a variety of topics. But fundamental to that, is the understanding of respect among posters as equals.
