  • Ultimately, I think the board has slowed down because the movie hoopla is over after it flopped and was terrible. Then Johns left GL and took a number of readers with him. A lot of fair weather fans are just...gone. Off to whatever is hot this year.

    Then on top of that the regular posters here have really discussed Green Lantern ad nauseam, so we're not really doing pep rallies to get conversations going about GL. I'm here every day, but I'm more than happy to talk about off topic stuff with you guys. I frequent a few other forums, but in those places I stick to discussions about the topic that brought me there in the first place. If I want to talk about other things, this place is where I like to hang my hat.

    Also, we have Qward to discuss things in a place and Ion isn't even ALLOWED in there!

      • Let me just say here that if you pay a woman enough money, she'll pretend to like you.

            • Perfect storm of series going to crap, movie was terrible, animated series was sub-par and cancelled, several of the long time regulars left, some staff left, and GL is in general not grabbing tons of new fans at the moment?

                Multiple series to flush. Movie was lackluster but tolerable, speak for yourself, I still watch it about once a month. Animated series was damn good and cancelled, now we realize because of a change in creative direction. Several of the long time regulars left, but here you are again, with your 4,000+ posts. Some staff left, hey people come and people go. GL in general not grabbing tons of new fans...well, what would when heads and plot lines are rolling down the gutter. In season and out of season, a few remain true believers. No one wants to talk about what I want to talk about, so I share your miasma.

                The power of will is found at the deepest level of your being. It's more than mere rules. It's a duty that you must honor.

                  • Oh don't remind me! The animated series was SO good! It's early cancellation was like one more swift kick to the balls.

                    • When asked about the movie I say that It was dissapointing to me in Two ways. First while entertaining,it was not the complete adaption I wanted, I am a little tired of explaining to joe average why GL is cool. I was hoping the movie would capture the over all experience,To show the outsiders why we love GL.

                      It was fair,maybe good,but not great. It followed basic comic book movie formula,wich is why I often wondered why it gets slammed so much.

                      • I suggest consolidating some of the sub-forums. There are an over-abundance of them, and the activity in some doesn't warrant having them, imo. I'd really shrink things down. For example, I'd axe all the sub-forums for previous volumes and replace them with a Classic sub-forum... or something. I'm not sure about the name, since not all of those comics are "classic," but I think the idea gets across. It might help discussion if people don't have to bounce all over the forum to find discussion. And for whatever it's worth, the forum would appear more active if things aren't spread as thin, which may make it more attractive to potential members. I also might have one forum for all the current GL books, too, instead of giving each one their own forum.

                        • Isn't it obvious? It's because the GL fandom consisted of people who were in their 80s who have slowly died off one by one. There's very few people left alive.

The past has all been talked about, and as of now doesn't even matter anymore. The current run is either liked or disliked, but discussions concerning it are minimal at best.

                                I don't even come here for GL anymore, I come for the other stuff that's on here.
