Spawn Board members,

Hey Folks! It’s been a while since I’ve written something official for these boards, although I have been dropping by frequently over the years; reading lots your terrific posts/threads. Today, I wanted to take an opportunity to thank all of you for your support of the many items my companies have put. Every day I am thankful when any of you decides to spend your hard earned cash on any of our products. Because every business knows it can only succeed with a strong and loyal fan base.


The second reason for this post is to announce some news. As some of you might remember, back when we started the Spawn Boards, social media wasn’t nearly the giant force it is today. And while we continue to have a very active, but small community on these boards, we feel that there are better ways to provide social outlets for our fans in a wider arena.

With that in mind, we’ve decided that as of Friday, October 14, the Spawn message boards will permanently be removed from the spawn.com website. Besides announcing this news, we also wanted to allow this transition enough time for everyone to collect any contact info they might need before the boards are officially taken down.

As we make this transition with our fan base, I want to personally invite you all to join us as we move the party over to our new social sites on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. We feel these sites will provide a better way to serve our community and loyal followers with more unique daily content including news, “first look “ photos, videos, and contests. So you can still get your McFarlane fix!

We all know the importance and impact that the Spawn message board has had over the years and I too like hanging around here (heck, it’s where our initial conversations all started). So, my hope, is that you will see this in the same light as I do, which is a natural transition to some of these other social outlets. We are not abandoning you or going out of business or any other silly negative reaction that might come to mind. It is simply making some business moves that will strengthen what we are able to deliver to you on a daily basis, while at the same time continuing to deliver the same great products you have come to expect from my companies.

I sincerely hope that all of you will stick with us through this transition and continue to provide your very valuable feedback through our other social outlets.

Thanks again for all of your support through the years. See you at the new party site!

I've never been a member there but I hope this isn't the signs to come that Facebook/Twitter will replace forums as time goes on.

Make sense to be honest. You don't have to worry about censorship and you can friend people with similar interests.
 
I would imagine that being a company that houses an official discussion forum presents issues that purely fan-run forums don't. And I'm sure that those who post there will find a different outlet to discuss the McFarlane stuff without presenting an extra set of issues that McFarlane's company has to deal with housing the forum itself.
 
I hope you guys don't mind a refugee from there. I am an avid Sideshow collector and many of my friends from there are here as well.
 
Darklord Dave - FYI - I do not do Facebook, MySpace, Twitter...et al. I find those websites, like texting, to be for 12-year-old girls. Please do not move the Freaks' boards to those websites.

That would be going to a place that I can not follow.

Thank you for your consideration.

Thank you for your consideration.

They should just join here. It would make for a far more interesting sports section on this forum. Maybe then I'll actually get to know some of them, because I rarely post over there anymore.
