Neutral Ground

[ManofTheAtom]

Greg, it occurred to me that, if they're up for it, it might be cool to have a sub-forum where people from Alien Books/VALIANT like Danielle Ward and Martin Alien could promote their upcoming projects, and, maybe, answer questions from readers that can be a neutral ground where we can just talk about the comics without getting lost in the negativity.

Maybe they could moderate it themselves to decide which posts from board members appear?

They're using social media fairly well to promote the comics but, by its very nature, I think that sort of promotion is fleeting because they, essentially, have to keep posting the same thing over and over again because older posts vanish on people's feeds, which is not a good thing ("out of sight, out of mind").

In contrast, on a board like this one posts from days, weeks, months, and even years ago are still visible (we're still getting mileage out of threads and discussions from decades ago here... -- "there's no school, like the old school", right?)

If they're up for it, I think it might work to increase interest in the new books, drive traffic here, and revive the community.

Of course, they don't need this board for that, but it be great if they wanted to use it for it.

When the first VALIANT Entertainment site included this board when it launched, I thought that was great.

This should have been a private message to Greg.

That occurred to me after the fact, but I don't mind having post it. I might send it to him later on.

eh, I like it better when ValiantFans is an open forum for the fans first and foremost, not a mouthpiece for the company which already has websites and every social media app to promote their business.

There should be a place where fans can freely discuss their opinions about the comics without being bullied by sycophants and job-seekers if their opinion doesn't fall in line with company policy.
