Due to low post counts on spawn.com. Todd McFarlane of McFarlane Toys bought up the majority of shares from Hostboard, a user to user message board service located on the web. In a press interview Mr. McFarlane was quoted: "NOBODY leaves Spawn.com, NOBODY"

would be funny huh?

KSC2-303 cracks me up.

I think even if the white board returned to the state that it once was, I don't think I would want to give up this place.

Now, granted, if sculpey got tired of this place and closed it, then yeah, I might have to.....

its all a plot for message board domination [img]eek.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">No chance that we're closing this down. If you were around last night, almost every topic was about toys. From vintage models, to customs, to news about S 25 Raven. I can't remember how long it had been since I had so much fun talking about toys. Plus there was a ton of good natured bullshit thrown into the mix.

It's good to have a back up to the back up!

Right on sculpey, I agree. I went on the white board last night, and it didn't take me long to ask myself why I even bothered.

I want this place to live, I'm not sure I would have post Milky The Cow on the White Board

I'll go post it just for the hell of it. You guys should not reply just to see where it will end with people from the white board

LOL!

Done

It makes me wonder just how much of a decline there's been in number of new posts on the Spawn.com board.

Recently I've been noticing that threads don't get buried as easily because new pages aren't being created as quickly.

Any of you techie/computer geniuses care to comment? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sculpey started our new board on January 6th.... within a week or two we had "converted" many of the veteran spawnites.

In that time.... we've had over 80,000 hits here and over 18,000 posts.

To tell you exactly how that has affected spawn.com, I'd have to know aproximately how many hits per month they have.

Keep in mind there is the Sports board and such... but I'm guessing we were at least 20-25% of the posts on that board. [img]smile.gif[/img]

To me it seems like the internet in general has had a lull in traffic recently. The effects on the Spawn.com are the most noticeable, and it may be compounded with the fact that a bit of a rift was created (or better yet, the trolls got the message). However, I've noticed less hits on several other sites I frequent and my other steady board at Wizkids has about 1/3 the usual onliners. What could people possibly be doing besides hanging out on the net?

Holy crap.

They're all on Friendster and Myspace!
