What's up?


Apr '19
So here we are... Trash Epics in 2019! And what a state we're in!

I ain't gonna lie... losing some of our most valuable posters over the DUMBEST SHIT IN HISTORY really does upset me. I could elaborate on why I'm so pissed about Tromafreak, Onyx, and Johan's decision to leave this place, but I wont, because quite frankly... their reasons are stupid as fuck, and they can all go fuck themselves for putting me in this position. I did nothing but cater to every one of their goddamn requests, and they treat me like I'm the devil himself. Fuck that noise, and fuck those lousy two-bit fake friends that toyed with my emotions so much. I had faith in them, and they ALL let me down, and now they're laughing about it. Ha ha. Very fuckin' funny, you guys. You sure showed me. emoticon



There was a time when we had nearly 200 users, and more along the way. Now, we have a handful of regulars, and I know they wont stick around when the tumbleweeds take over. Again, this stuff bothers me, because I have so much faith in TE. It's all I believe in, really, and it's hard to convey my points to others, because people haven't lived in my shoes. They don't know what's kept me going, and seemingly, they don't care, either.

Ever since I was a kid, I've been studying the internet. Slowly, but surely, I've looked into many facets of its being. I've contemplated facebook and twitter and other social media platforms, and I've come to various conclusions about their effectiveness and shortcomings, and I've worked to create a place that can be optimized for the horror/trash loving crowd, but people don't understand. They point the finger at something that only wants to exist in their favor, and give them what they would want out of a website. As the world progresses technologically, people give less thought into what makes these environments work, because they don't have to think about something if it's standardized. Facebook and Twitter are standards, even if they have data breaches and loads of ads. People don't care, because it's regular.


I hate to be a buzzkill, but my goal to remedy that is by making TE even better. Not that anyone is going to care at this point, but I'm working on all sorts of shit:

Undoing Johan's Dastardly Deeds - It's like the snap of Thanos, and you have to figure out a way to undo what just happened. I have most of his content, and I plan on restoring it as soon as I work out the kinks. As much as he pisses me off, I still liked that guy's contributions, and his absense has destroyed a lot of site content. For shame.

New Notification System - Yeah yeah, I know the current notification system is kind of fucked, but it's the best I could come up with at the time. I've gotten a few ideas together to make notifications more dynamic, fixing that PM +1 nonsense and adding more notifications, with mark-as-read functionality and all that jazz. Should be cumming soon...

Der's Arcade Shennanigans - This is a big project we'll be working on, basically mashing a bunch of old school pixel games into a TE game hub. Arcade games, card games, board games, etc. We want to try it all. Currently, we have a couple dozen games in mind... It's kinda like that NES game "Action 52", only it wont suck ass.

Of course, there's always stupid little things I find that I need to fix, but I've been focusing on these ideas lately. I'm also thinking we need a new way to recruit users. I hate when I have to talk about this stuff, but the traffic lately has been scaring me. This stuff used to work so easily on here, now I'm having to exert all my energy just to keep it comatose.

Come on, guys. Let's hold hands and sing Kumbaya. Also, let's watch some black and white trash. Youtube has some gold. Just talk about stuff. Anything. Horror, trash, both, or neither.

I'm not against their return, but I wouldn't count on it. They seem dead set in their disillusionment for TE. Plus, I'd want to take the mod position away from them, since A.) they didn't moderate, and B.) troma let all that shit get waaaaayyy too into his head. And in my desire to demote them, they'd probably take offense to that and quit. Again.

Fuckers think that I'm the enemy for some reason. They let stupid troll of theirs taint their way of thinking, and it'll probably end up in some "Bug" type of situation where they set themselves on fire in a motel room. If they're delusional to think that I'm their enemy, then they really can go fuck themselves. They don't care what I or anyone else here has to say on the matter, but hey... whatever gets their rocks off.

Yeah... it just bothers me how much he refuses to listen to reason. Like I said, he didn't even care to stick around and hear my side of it. Just said his fuck yous, told me this site would die, and quit. That piece of shit even deleted me from facebook, because he doesn't want to listen to anybody. That's why his new forum will be perfect for him. Nobody there, nobody to listen to.

I shouldn't be surprised about any of them. They still disappoint me to no end, but it is what it is.

I can't hold the 'losers' remark with too much weight though, considering I'm a loser, too. I think the whole trash subgenre is an outlet for unconventional movie-fan types to revel in. It's all about that community aspect, but some of these types don't seem to want even that.

He'd lurk about for a few months, but didn't seem interested. Had onyx told me earlier that he found the site hard to navigate, I'd have added some screen reader type optimization, but instead, I only found out toward the end when they already made up their minds to leave. Here I thought the name was just an homage to Ygor in House of Frankenstein...

True. If it'll bait him back here, he might actually have words for us.

Yeah, I don't get it one bit. It's so awkward, it's actually kind of funny. I've been thinking about how funny this whole situation actually is: Tromafreak, head moderator, is upset that he can't be higher than head moderator, on a site that doesn't need nor receive his moderation. Rage quit. Onyx follows. Johan rolls a critical miss and gets confused, turning to freeforums. omg.

As much as this nonsense befuddles me, I think it's best we stop going on about it. And by we, I mostly mean myself. I get drunk and rant. It's what I do. I probably shouldn't do it when I'm upset, except if it's about a shitty movie.

Sure, their absense is a buzzkill, but we need to move past it, and figure out how to put ourselves out there more, in terms of sharing our decent content on other boards and/or platforms, to try to gain a few more miscreants. We'll have shitty arcade games and trash talk about trash movies to lure them in. No more drama. TE needs to get its head out of its ass and rise to the ocassion and being better than pure trash.

I am trying to clean up a few things on the site to make this place more user-friendly for any potential victimsvisitors, so TO ANYONE READING THIS... bear with us. We'll return after these messages.
