Wow, I have never seen this forum moving so slow, and I've been reading this thing for about 5 months. Yeah, I was a lurker. With all the Hellboy Animated, and BPRD, and Hellboy 2 stuff planned I would have thought things would have just been getting interesting. If so many people didn't have birthdays I wouldn't have noticed any change here in the past couple of days. Any thoughts on the apparent slow down?

If I were to guess, it would be the wait of anticipation. True, we're receiving all of those new titles (plus new stories of the old), Hellboy animated movies, Hellboy 2, and so on, but right now we can only wait for news of them. I would think that the forum may pick up once Hellboy and BPRD take back the comic shelves, and Hellboy 2 really starts screening.

Your probably right.

Sure, what will you want to talk about then?

Likely how much we are enjoying the 5th season of My Name is Earl.

Times get slow, you know? No biggee.

Indeed. This is one of the sleepier forums I post on. I wouldn't have it any other way, though.

Quality vs. quantity, my friend...we only post when we REALLY have something to say...not just for the sake of posting.

There isn't a lot going on, Hellboy-wise, these days. BPRD: THE GARDEN OF SOULS comes out in late March and HELLBOY: DARKNESS CALLS comes out in late April. There should be plenty of discussion here when those come out. When you consider that Darkness Calls is not going to be drawn by Mignola I don't think you will find things slow around here at all.

Maybe another reason why its slower is because we don't talk politics, religion or anything else that would put us at each others throats.

At least we know when Fitz is regular..good on ya boy!

Well, I'm still trying to catch up with everything after the holidays -- hence the lack of posting.

I know that several of the regulars happen to have big shifts in their work and personal lives that have slowed down posting, me included. We're still here checking in but just keeping in touch. It happens in cycles.

Congrats, Fitz.

Tad, you just gave me the biggest laugh i've had all week with your last line congratulating Fitz..i love this board.

I'm happy that it has slowed downa bit here, one of my others has taken off since the beginning of the year and I'm going a little nuts.

Besides, we all need to rest for spring, this place is going to explode. I hope the CBR is ready for us all to be posting at the same time!

I would post a lot more but then I never have much to say. I'm just like ''nice art man'' or ''cool'' or just making jokes no one gets except for otto, for some strange reason.

But I'm on almost everyday, at least 10 minutes, reading.

There's also the fact that I don't have the internet at home. no, I don't live in a third world country.


The other day I was thinking to myself how strange and fascinating this whole internet forums thing is. I will never know you guys personally yet I'm communicating with you, you people from around the world whon love Hb and Mignola. This common interest we all share...and I'm most likely the only person from my city, heck, province on this board.

I'm sooo special :cool:

That's the situation for Morna and I. Yup. Busy.

Here's a pic from our final sale a few nights ago.

Well done, Fitz. It looks like things came out in the end for you.

Yeah I know about cycles, get a promotion, get fired, get a new and faster connection... Get a trojan and have to reformat your computer....
Been there... Doing just that.

Gary,
Looks like you guys went out with a BANG. Hope you guys do alright and more importantly... Have fun doing it.

Good Luck!

I can't posting regularly here because my english is horrible....but I like reading, I do it well... And is very amazing that someone in the other side of the world (for me) made a good poo!! We are similar, I've also made a good poo today!

I'm so pleased that Hellboarders around the world are not constipated.

Yes, I am very, very busy these days so I'm not able to be around here much lately. Maybe I can get back into it in another month or two. By then I think there will be some new Hellboy stuff out to talk about.

Well it's very quite on the Hellboy comic front, so.....

For people like me, there's not a lot to say. The animated Hellboy doesn't spark any interest for me at all. (Sorry Tad, I'm sure its great work)

Are you kidding!? Poo always gets people going...it's a universal thing. except for me of course. I don't poo. Nooo sir.

I have this bad feeling this is going to be relegated as the Official Hellboy Poop Thread. God have mercy on us all!
