We're getting closer, perhaps by the end of next week we should be there I hope!

Currently renovating some OPs. Gave the general Tom appreciation thread OP a nice update.

Going through some others and organising.

[TomsEnough]

How is that going for you?

[livstevi21]

I accomplished quite a bit in my time off earlier this month, which is good!

[TomsEnough]

^ That is good to hear.

[livstevi21]

I want to start a new survivor game, something we haven't done in a couple of years. I've got two ideas for survivors that we haven't done yet. One, is comic con pictures. And the other is gifs; either Clark, Cain or Tom gifs. Any thoughts?

Also, how about we do a little posting challenge of our own? Where we each participate in a wider range of threads and topics. Like today, I've posted on a few of the older Tom role threads that haven't been posted on in a while. The board guide has so many amazing threads and some get forgotten. One rule; they have to be Tom related threads only. If we each did about 5 and all participated in them, that would be amazing. If that gets us to 250K by the end of the year, we can do something special to celebrate. I'm hoping the re-promotion of the board on twitter and instagram will entice new fans here. The more Tom fans discussing our gorgeous and talented guy, the better!

^ I think the conventions one would be easier, but if you want to do a gifs one, just let me know how I can help.

I always hope more Tom fans will join us here, but if not, it is their loss. I like this environment, so I am here.

[livstevi21]

Yeah, you're probably right, the conventions one would be easier. We could do that one first and whilst we're playing that one start gathering gifs maybe?

True, that. But if they don't know about this board, they won't know to come here! That's why advertising it around is so important as I really do want more fans here again.

[TomsEnough]

^ I wish some fans would consider joining, but I don't want any of the 'haters' around here.

Let me know when you want to start the Survivor!

[livstevi21]

Oh man, yeah, don't get me wrong I don't want any haters either. We've had enough trouble makers here in the past. I just want to believe that there are more true fans out there than haters who would like to be a part of an online forum community and join with us to discuss their love for Tom and Smallville just as much as we do.

I will let you know.

[TomsEnough]

^ I always like to hope for the best, but I am always confronted with the worst, so I am trying to find gratification with the limited Tom fans that I can.

Looking ahead to it!

[livstevi21]

Given the comic cons and how well the 20th anniversary of Smallville has re-surged the love for the show, I think the love for Tom is also telling. It's just there doesn't seem to be the amount of people who would like to and be fully active on online forum communities in the Tom fan community like there used to be. Some fans that have been here over the years seemed to have moved on, either or both with being a fan and having the time to be active in an online forum community. If you see what I mean.

[TomsEnough]

^ I completely see what you mean, and I have also lost lots of friends because they lost interest and moved on.

I hope that doesn't happen with you ever.

[livstevi21]

Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere!
