Well, the invitation went out to subscribers to Horror Movie Freaks to join The Ossuary and get the good screen names. There are some folks that have really gone all out on their profiles adding cool background images, photo galleries, music that plays when the profile is viewed... very cool.

We're still working through a few kinks in the community software but the final version is near.  Not to be confused with "The Sherrif is Near"...

I am really looking forward to getting this new community off the ground. I've tried to participate in the forums and such that other sites have and just can't get engaged. I don't know... it seems to me that most of those sites have a core of folks that berate everyone else if they don't agree with their views. So... if there isn't lively conversation going on then there is nothing really else to do there.

We've taken the best of YouTube, Flicker and MySpace and made it specific to Horror Freaks - Perhaps a big risk but I think that there are plenty of us around to make this community thrive. I need to change some of the headings on the menu bar, the ones for Videos, Photos and Music to make it clear that these are sharing channels - different from the things that show only on a profile (under my profile for each member).  Once we have more folks uploading things to share it will be more interesting for everyone to participate here... but the key is making it clear what this is about.

So, off to work. In the meantime upload some pics, videos and music from the main menu bar and start the sharing process... Oh, and videos can be embedded elsewhere like YouTube so upload here and then play wherever you want!

Now I'm rambling...
