Hope being the operative word. ;D
It's gonna take off like the old KM forums did. I just guess we won't get that many one-off posters and odd people who swing by to say "like the site" and stuff.
But more real discussion discussions.
Not that I'm going to start one right here of course.

Wull, most of the old forum's regular posters seem to have taken up residence already.
It'd be great to have several threads running. I'm having trouble thinking of new ideas, things that weren't discussed on the old forum. I wonder what we should do about the old forum topics. Recycle them? Or just try to deal with wholely new things. I guess some new visitors won't have had the chance to discuss the "classic" debates, but I guess for a lot of others, everything that could be said was said a long time ago.
I guess there's always "Who was your favourite goblin? Grippa or Rhark". Personally, I thought the characterisation of Rhark was much more convincing. Grippa seemed to be just going through the motions.
No, let's not go there.

Just thought I'd say, a week on, how great the new forum is. Looking through the threads is just so much easier, and I think there are several new people posting, which is fabulous.
I'm quite surprised at just how many people can be on the forum at a time. Sometimes over 10, including guests. Most encouraging. The number of people visiting the site, but not getting as far as the forums, must be much higher still. Very cool.
Well done again to Nic for all his hard work. Sorting the forums out might come at the ideal time, with the likelihood of more people visiting after seeing the show on Challenge.

Since its earliest posts and memberships date from 17th November 2002, I would like to wish the Knightmare.com Forum a Happy 10th Birthday. I am proud of what I have contributed here and of how enjoyable and informative other Knightmare fans' contributions have been - and continue to be. I am grateful to Nic/Illusion for setting up the forum, where I felt welcome straightaway, and for looking after it in its formative years.
Regrettably, I was not prepared for all the goings and goings that have occurred over the years. So many people who seemed content here have disappeared overnight without a goodbye. The notion that a Knightmare fan could 'run out of things to talk about' is one to which I don't subscribe and I hope I never will. I believe now, as strongly as I ever have, that this forum is the best place to be a fan of one of the best TV series.
Where am I? Still here. A more important question: where's the birthday cake? I'm not settling for Life Force quiche.

Happy 10th birthday Knightmare forums.

Wow, this is a cause for celebration. And it coincides with the 25th anniversary of the actual show too....
Of course, before its current incarnation we had the Bravenet then Network54 versions of the forum, but it is this present day version that has undoubtedly survived the longest. Despite various usernames and my dark days of ridiculously short postings (nowadays I of course like to focus on quality rather than quantity), I like to think that I have indeed been here since the beginning of its present life cycle - needless to say that I have not always been here on a frequent basis, but I guess that right here, right now I am genuinely proud to be posting on here at such a landmark time for all things related to the show.
Let's hope that this continues to be one of THE places to discuss Knightmare over the next ten years.

Amazing! Happy 10th birthday forums!!! Even if I've only spent a year and a half posting here, those days were brilliant and I hope they continue

Definitely a cause for celebration - I didn't realise the forum was reaching a milestone of its own this year. It's a shame I missed its period of peak activity, when the show was being repeated on Challenge (let's hope we can see another surge of interest if they show it again). It saddens me that I never got to 'meet' some of the old forum regulars; I too feel their loss, even though I wasn't here at the time.
Thanks to all contributors past and present who have made this my favourite Internet hangout!
A more important question: where's the birthday cake?
Has anyone ever made a Knightmare-themed novelty cake? I can't recall seeing any...
