I'm not going to lie. I am not the first person to come up with this idea. I was got this idea from an old Ultimate DC proboard that was run by some very cool people. It ultimately ended up falling apart, but it still had good ideas and I wanted to continue it.
Also, the color scheme came from a skin from Free to Advertise by someone named Becca. So thank you for that. As someone who's color blind I never would have gotten good colors together.
One last thing, that's not really on topic, but still important is that I am currently looking for a global moderator. I'm not going to be able to fulfill every request as I have my own titles and reviews to do as well as real life stuff like school and work. So, just pretty much someone who can update claims lists and typical house cleaning stuff.
Take care and I hope to see this site succeed.

Good to see we have three people back on board so far. Hopefully we can get a few more just to fill in some of the big name titles.

Yeah. If we can get one or two more writers, that might move us up on google. We're already second if you type in Ultimate DC proboards. Here's hoping, because I actually started writing on The Flash and it's like coming back to an old friend.

It's been a while since I've wrote anything so I'm curious to see what I'm able to do. I want to try and avoid writing anything along the same lines of what I did on the previous board. Figured try something new and see what happens.

That's the most difficult thing for me when I write these things because sometimes it's tough to move away from the familiar comic book version.

Well, I'm hoping no one is looking forward to a radical change in The Flash, because I'm keeping it pretty straight. There'll be minor changes throughout the whole thing that will ultimately result in larger changes, but from the start it will be played pretty straight.

No worries. I'm just saying, don't let nostalgia get in the way of your creativity. Take chances with obscure characters and make them into something special. Make new characters if needed. Go nuts, man. I remember BlueEyedDevil did an awesome run on Superman a while ago and during the course of the series, he made Lex Luthor a woman, among other things I can't recall.
On another note, I kissed a Brazilian girl tonight. It was pretty sweet.

Yeah, I'm having a bit of trouble with the whole nostaligia thing. It hasn't hindered the writing yet, although it's gone quite smoothly. The same night I gave Batman to you, I found one of my old issues of Flash for psychozeke's site and it was one of the first pieces of writing I've ever gone back and read and thought "this kind of kicks ass." Usually the closest I get to that is "hey, this doesn't suck." So it inspired me and made me really miss the characters. I only got like 5 issues in before he booted me for working with some other writers to have a massive crossover between like our collective 7 titles. So, let's see where this takes me...
Anywho, I might have found another writer who's interested in Martian Manhunter. I said that I'd save him while he figures out if he can. He sounds dedicated, which is nice.

We should see if we can get pulpphenom. Don't know if he'd be interested or not, but he did some pretty kickass work on Spider-Man at the Ultimate Marvel site.

Swing by the monthly claims list under authors discuss and go for it. It's all yours, brother.

I don't know if anyone's contacted him yet, but I'm going to email pulpphenom. His work on Ultimate Spider-Man is too good for me not to contact him.

I read all of it. So good.

There a way you can give us the option to lock or sticky posts in our boards or is that something you just want to have access to?

Son of a bitch. His old email isn't active anymore. I'm going to try AIM and see if he's still around.

Hell, as long as it's relavent, I don't mind you guys sticky-ing anything on these boards. The only problem is that I don't know how to do that. I'll read the manual and see what I can do unless someone here knows. Also, if anyone wants a sub-board like I've set up for Flash, just let me know. I'll fix one up for you.
