FOUNDER: David Wilbanks

FOUNDED IN: April 2004
MAIN INTERESTS: Discussion of books, film, comics, writing and more in horror and related genres
Started by author and editor, David T. Wilbanks, Message Board of the Damned (MBOTD for short) is an online home for horror lovers, including fans and writers - both published and aspiring. While horror fiction may be the uniting theme of MBOTD, members eagerly branch out in their discussions to related genres, such as science fiction, crime stories and western. Regarding the range of member tastes, moderator h3yd00 says: "The members here are very well read, and know a lot about all genres. I get plenty of advice on books around here, that's for sure."
Indeed the destination forum at MBOTD is The Book Den, where an active literary discussion keeps visitors up-to-date on both small press gems and well-known bestsellers. MBOTD also hosts lively forums for the discussion of film, tv, art, comics and music. Wilbanks, himself, hosts discussion for writers of horror and related genres in the Writers' Talk forum. Author Nickolas Cook hosts live chats with published horror writers at MBOTD Monday evenings. Published writers also regularly join in on discussion. Horror fans will find such a variety of discussions and topics, that they are sure to feel at home. The board is well moderated, keeping flaming at bay, but - as member eldritch00 describes it - "no one feels constrained: posts range from the welcome silly (as opposed to the obnoxious kind) to the mind-numbingly serious." MBOTD members are loyal, tight-knit group, and many credit MBOTD with creating a rare sense of belonging.
