I've been quiet lately because I've been out working at all kinds of unsocial hours. Believe me this is the only interesting Hugh board around (that I know of) and let's face it there haven't been the problems here that some other boards have experienced. I love popping by for an update on Hugh and on the other posters

It's got to be a huge amount of work to keep a board like this going and you have every right to maintain it as you see fit. If you think opening more of the board up to guests, by all means do so, but, as others have said, it's a slow time for Hugh right now and there is a risk that newbies aren't going to be looking for information until he's got a movie or other big project going. If there's not a big rise in readership, that's not your fault. This is far and away the best of the boards I've seen since I became a fan in 2006. I'd hate to see you close the board down. But whatever your decision, thank you for all your work and passion over the years. I second Somerwood's comments. I don't post nearly as often as some others, but enjoy checking the forum every day and try to post information from Australia which might not have been seen by Hugh's fans living in other parts of the world. Sometimes however real life becomes very hectic and I ony have time to read, not post. Thanks for all your efforts Kristin, hopefully things will work out and we can continue enjoying sharing our thoughts about one extraordinary human being. Cheers.

Whether I react to it or not in writing, I enjoy reading everything that everyone posts on this forum. It never fails to be interesting or lively, especially compared to the "red board," as it's called here, which typically is fairly moribund on any given day. Every board has its busy and down times. I know it must be a heck of a lot of work to keep it up, so I salute you, Kristin, for your fortitude. I really enjoy communing with fellow fans and learning not just what's new but side tidbits and sharing fun speculation in which nobody else would be interested except those reading and posting here. May the merriment ever continue.

Kristin, you have a great forum here. I love coming here daily and would be extremely sad if you closed this, so please don't. Your loyal fans will keep coming back for you. I hope new ones join as well, but this is such a great place to communicate about Hugh and everything else.

Kristin, thank you for all the work you do! I wish I were more chatty. I probably contribute here more than any other fan board I look at, even though I post something here only a few times a year. There aren't a lot of places online for Hugh fans, and this place is one of the most active and fun ones.

My view is a preference for a private board. I don't like to think of some things I might post potentially going public.
I just need to pay attention to the current board status so I know before I hit enter.

Kristin, I hope you choose to keep this open, but if not, thanks for what you've done so far. I'd miss coming here. I know that if anything Hugh-related occurs, it will be posted and discussed and that a quiet day means no news. It will get better, possibly starting next week, with the Toronto promotion.

One option would be to structure this like Jackmans Landing was done. But, I would miss the interaction that is integral of and makes this board so special.
If you do fold, I won't be joining the 'red board'. That place is.....um...unsuitable.
That's my two-cents worth, Dee [the one that's been here a tad longer]

Doesn't matter. I think I'm done. I can't open up the boards because people are worried about who sees what they've written, I can't get anybody new to come here because they can't see there's even any activity going on here, and I get people either complaining they get ignored (and some of those people only post once every six months to begin with) or nobody posts, and most of the conversations we do have are just repeated over and over, to the point where I don't want to hear another word about how some people don't like the trailers for Real Steel, etc. There's really nothing there to talk about. Somebody thinks it's stupid, oh well. I get that there's nothing to talk about right now, and I know people are trying to keep some kind of discussion going, but it's incredibly boring, and what the heck am I supposed to do about it? So I tried to do something and I get a jerk who I don't want coming in here causing problems for someone else, and that's not what I intended to do at all. So either I go back to having only the people I knew when I first started this forum allowed on it, or I close the forum, because I can't figure out how to make this place interesting enough that I want to be here at this point. Maybe it's just time to move on. I really don't know. all I want to say is that I really like this place because it informing, friendly and made me smile every time I checked in ... I was quiet because I don't have the time to post very much and I got deleted ... mmmh ... it's ok but it's not very new user friendly ... pls give newbies a chance ... and I don't think that it's boring here ... actually a lot of new stuff is happening around Hugh, so why not discuss it ? I'm so waiting for THE Wolverine stuff to happen ... well ... it's a discussion board, everyone has their own opinion, everyone is different, good and bad things happen ... and I think that's ok ... it would be nice if you let me in again ...

Kristin dear this is a wonderful place and you have done such an outstanding job. Like everyone is saying Hugh news is extremely slow right now. Trust me! I am having a heck of a time finding stuff myself. I am googling every possible thing I can for new images and information and I am coming up empty. It doesn't have anything to do with you or the board. Please don't think that. Stuff will get busier as his films start to open ;-) As far as opening the site up, that's up to you...yeah it probably scares a few of us that have posted stuff we don't want to get out, but the extremely rare stuff I don't want out I rather don't post it or You know where I do. I know it is very hard to know who you can trust. I have been burned numerous times as well as you. We can never tell who is a real fan and who is out only for themselves and there site. We will stand behind you no matter what.

Hugh news is slow? I find exciting stuff every day - especially with his show, RS coming out on Fall and with news about Wolverine... Try Sharlto Copley board, where I am registered - he seemed to vanish from the surface of the Earth. The truth is that news about Hugh and also great fans and people won´t find anywhere else but here.

Updated 10/27/2012. Also, It's Simon LeBon's birthday, but I'm probably the only one who cares about that.
