Yep - oh well, maybe something will get worked out.

If not, we'll find a way to manage.

A sad day indeed but there is always places like right here.
feastonscraps18 Friday 5/14/2010 at 08:48 PM | 63869

BIGKen Friday 5/14/2010 at 08:56 PM | 63871
holy shit that is crazy. i use to love that place. it was a rough crowd at times but a lot of pason about the hobby. what a sad day.

one question is not matter what happens to mm.net the hobby has to be in suffering because you wouldnt think mask makers would want to risk it now according to what im hearing. seems like a lot to gamble.

one question is not matter what happens to mm.net the hobby has to be in suffering because you wouldnt think mask makers would want to risk it now according to what im hearing. seems like a lot to gamble.

That's a good question and one that I guess with time we will learn the answer to. It was already getting really bad with ebay being bacally told not to sell them, then mm.net. I would think its a matter of time when people will do it in small numbers but the masve group like setting seems to be dying and I am sure mask makers will stop making them. That's just my guess.

HalloweenFan78 Friday 5/14/2010 at 09:57 PM | 63886
That would make sense to me. If the markey isnt there no one will take the risk.

Are we allowed to talk about what happened to MM.net here Joel or any of the other mods? I would just like to know exactly why it was shut down.

Nothing is off limits as long as everyone realizes that we want everyone to be as potive as posble. Complaint threads tend to get argumentative and really don't do justice at the end of the day but as far as what went on at Michael-Myers.net, it is my understanding the te has temporarily been shut down due to legal reasons. Hope that helps,

Joel

DaShape Friday 5/14/2010 at 11:51 PM | 63904
I sorta dropped off the face of HorrorBid while waiting on things from people on MM.net.

I feel kinda bad about it too because I've been a member here longer than I have there.

Hope I'm welcome back... ;)

Thanks, love - I gotta say I'm digging this gnature as well!

I think the guy who made my banner is still around, HorrorFreak13 or something like that?

This is the 2nd he made for me & he does FANTASTIC jobs!

Hey, let's do some trivia - you'll probably kick my ass because I only know select films/muc - but start a thread & I'll jump in...when I ain't swamped.

Brandy, I think the hobby will survive because we'll keep it alive.

Me, you, Justin, Derek & the mods & fellow members...all of us who love The Shape...we'll find a way.

I sound like I'm heading a frakking therapy seson here

BTW, I think it's absolutely absurd that the attention of the uncertain future of mm.net has been turned to one sole member (Sara.) I think you all need to look at the bigger picture that this topic was originally started for instead of trying to be smitten with a girl over the Internet.

(About the BTW... I'm kidding of course! Sara is indeed hot and how could one's attention not be diverted to her when she makes a post?! That is quite the captivating pic Sara and let me just say it's nice to see another girl take an interest in the horror hobby!)

Yeah that sucks. I guess they want to keep their property that they stole from Star Trek and modified, as well as the name (Michael Myers) that they also stole from a guy. They say hyprocrites can dish it out but not take it in.

Derek just posted this message,,

Michael-Myers.net received a cease and dest letter from Brian Rayman/Trancas International Films on May 13th, 2010. I have filed a counter to this claim, and as a result the webhost legally must shut the webte down for 14 days in order to accept this counter claim. Trancas International Films has 14 days to file a lawsuit against Michael-Myers.net. If they do not, the webte must be reinstated.

Please continue to check back. I am working on this and hope it can be resolved.

Caesar015 Saturday 5/15/2010 at 08:40 AM | 63992
much like the other mods have stated you are all welcome here either first timers or returning members.

you are always free to speak your mind here but please keep any debates to actual debates not flame threads or name calling because you dont like someones opinion. that results in thread deletions or in worst case scenarios outright banning for repeat offenders.

i was a member there too and wasnt a huge fan of the place or the drama that took place on a day to day bas and didnt post there much at all

that being said they have had to my knowledge 2 legal issues (wasnt one of them involving the name and the tagline?) and have complied with both of them yet still got taken down which seems ludicrous to me, they tried to turn it into a fante like was asked of them, what happens now to other fantes? with the crack down in full effect it might be wise if all of you refrain from trying to sell or trade any unlicensed white masksfor the time being (at least publicly in our auctions) we dont want any heat coming down on us here.

so enjoy your stay here if you dont plan on staying long thanks for stopping by and above all else again please keep debates civil

thanks, Bisco

Hey K-Man, Heck of a first week in moderating over there, huh?



Its cool, Derek is fighting this and I honestly feel, that there will be an agreement. I feel potive that the te will be back up within 2 weeks. I don't think anyone wants to waste money of a lawsuit.

Just my opinion. If so, boy thats a waste.. We are all just a bunch of fans looking for a place to chat about our favorite film. In know way are anyone out to hurt Malek or anyone affiliated with Halloween. The sad part is, these are the fans that show up to the conventions, even the conventions that Malek participates in. All this will do, is affect reputations and in turn, may hurt them in the long run. I hope this isn't what they want.... Again, I feel confident something will be done... Keep an eye out!

In know way are anyone out to hurt Malek or anyone affiliated with Halloween. The sad part is, these are the fans that show up to the conventions, even the conventions that Malek participates in. All this will do, is affect reputations and in turn, may hurt them in the long run. I hope this isn't what they want.... Again, I feel confident something will be done... Keep an eye out!



J Nice to see ya over here J-man

Yeah that must've been the buest moderating day of my life

The people with the higher power should check back in the fan section of the "25 Years of Terror" DVD.That's bacally us

Whats up brudda..



Right..



I understand the reasoning behind this but again, this can hurt them in the long run and seriously, this community is like a "speck on the horror map" compared to other things that maybe going on. MM.NET has been around for years and then all of a sudden? Come on, thats pretty ridiculous if you ask me. We aren't harming anyone at all. Just a bunch of fans, trying to have a good time with our favorite flick. Like I said, this can definately bite them in the butt though. Its not like these fans don't pay money to buy the films and to see the actors, they do... Wonder if Paris Hilton is trying to lence everyone who says "Thats Hot". Didn't she copyright that?



We'll see.... Take Care! J

kaizu Saturday 5/15/2010 at 02:08 PM | 64004
Good to see kaizu and gobears here!!!

Man, i've been in a state of shock nce yesterday.

I was browng the forum when the screen popped up

FORBIDDEN!

I had a feeling it was goingto happen, but always kept hope alive!

I've been a part of that board nce 2003 and spent countless hours on the te.

i feel that this is a bog slap in the face of all real myers fas out there!!

Sorry we weren't satisfied with the crappy masks offered in stores!

Sorry that our tastes caused us to fuel a fire that cannot be stopped.

We bought the masks because they were 1000 percent better than anything the copyright owners offered us.

plain and mple.

supply and demand.

the supply was there and we constantly demanded more and more.

our artists came through everytime we were hungry for a new mask,

they offered us what we were looking for and now we are all being punished for it.

we are being punished for being fans of the character michael myers.

the a-holes that own the name do not deserve it.

if they did, they would work with the dedicated fans to produce the product we deserve.

Hey guys, first things first. I have every ounce of faith that the system will work itself out and Michael-Myers.net will return once again. Derek has made it clear that he intends to fight this and Derek is no slouch when it comes to taking things head on like this, my hope is he can work it out with "trancas" and come to some sort of agreement.

With that being said we all love horror and it's great to see so many of you that I've known in the past and so many new faces that I hope to get to meet. I run the day to day operations here on the te but the mods along with my friend till the end Joel run a great deal of the forum here. HBid has become a full time gig in itself and the community aspect has grown leaps and bounds nce some of you may have vited last, we hope you guys feel right at hope while you are displaced.

I know there may have been some issues with a few members in the past but that is water under the bridge. This is a fresh start for everyone and I have heard many of you guys describing this place as fun and "laid back" that is exactly what we want. I know a lot of you guys feel like you're home has been stripped away, a community that meant so much to you and I can't imagine what that must be like. I just want to say a big thank you to everyone for being so cool during this, we can't thank you enough for making this place your home and we will do everything we can to provide the community aspect that you all love.

With that being said if anything does get out of hand there is always Tommy lurking around and he usually is accompanied by this muc...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bzWSJG93P8

All kidding ade (I love to joke and hope you all do as well, anyone remember Crapface 2, ouch

) we do welcome everyone and in two weeks hopefully things will be brighter for all those displaced. We hope regardless we can take away some friendships out of this mess.

Thanks all, Justin

I had a feeling that something was going to happen over at MM.net after they removed the clasfieds section.

Trancas really sucks for doing this to the fans, they seem to forget who made Halloween what it is.

And I'm back guys!

I took a hiatus from the internet altogether.

Been shutting down my paint operations, sending back commisons and such.

Still working on Des' figure though, not going to let that one go.

I just came online to check out the te, see what was happening... and noticed how much things have changed.

I've been a member of mm.net nce November of 2005 and it is really sad to see this happening. Like many of you said, mm.net was the first internet home that I ever had and it is my internet home. I'm with J on this, I have a feeling that something will be resolved and that we will all be able to return home. If mm.net indeed comes back, I will stay on this te. Like a lot of other people, I've got a new internet horror home. Thank you HorrorBid and to all who run this fantastic te!

as good a time as any to show back up! Hope y'all haven't changed too much nce I disappeared.

Good to see many of the original faces are still here, and a big "HELLO" to

those I'm not acquainted with.

I hate what's happening with Derek and M-M.net, but as long as there is a place to hang out and talk masks and horror, I'll be there!-grady

A mere two hours after the te went down, certain tes were sending out mass emails and PM's saying how sorry they are and then in the next breath adverting their te and 'welcoming' all Michael-Myers.net members. Some even celebrated the clong of the te, which is extremely rude and disrespectful. During this time some have chosen to kick me while I'm down, and I don't appreciate it - especially when I'm risking absolutely everything to benefit the community. It's frustrating and I'm tired of it.

And Gary "H30" if you're still bitter about what happened on my te 3 years ago you need to PM/email me. I'm tired of your public jabs, especially when I laid my reputation on the line to protect you after the entire community realized you recasted and retooled your masks. You did that, not me.

A couple of things and I don't have a dog in this fight but I did make the announcement here. Maybe tes were doing and sending those messages because they actually care about the members and not some made up turf war you have. Maybe they wanted to welcome people because they care. I mean I guess you can assume the worst and think their trying to "steal" us away from MM.net. It's not like we pay a membership fee, what worth are we, lol.

On top of that and I don't know Gary from H30 very well but aren't you airing dirty laundry by even responding to him. He is some mask maker that doesn't even sell stuff anymore to my knowledge or if he does very little. We even get yourself involved in that. Your better than that Derek. Just my two cents.
BrandyWine Thursday 5/20/2010 at 11:59 PM | 64350
Hey no offense Derek on what I said but I just thought it seemed a bit unusual coming from you. I mean MM.net is a home for all us white mask collectors. It will always be that way and no other te will replace that. Whetehr MM.net opens back or not the hobby has taken a huge blow. We don't need more bickering, we all need to stand together and just enjoy being alive and the world of horror.

I agree that some were doing that to care and help, but some celebrated as well. After what I've been through the last couple weeks, I've pretty much had it and I couldn't stay lent anymore. And yes to some tes you are worth more than a membership fee could ever bring. More vits = more revenue potential, so there is financial interest involved.

After someone publicly jabs me for three years it's time to respond, and I did. If he has a problem with me, he should email me and take care of it respectfully.

Agreed! And well spoken this second time. No offense to you and what you've brought to the hobby. I respect you a ton and I think this te has proven they do as well. At least that is my take from an on-looker. I do know other tes that seem to be taken advantage of this tuation and I only speak for myself but I hope MM.net opens back up for all of us. I think most if not all the members here except maybe Gary feel that way also and have expressed that. Which is why the two boards mingle so well together.
BrandyWine Friday 5/21/2010 at 12:07 AM | 64353
You have to expect some people to take jabs when you run such a controveral forum and lets face it MM.net has had its share of controversy. lmao! It must hurt though and think we all can understand that. Hopefully it will all be over soon but its nice to have made some new friends from a bad tuation and not just from this board either but some of the others that may have took some shots.

This is Horror Bid....whatever any other forum or te chooses to do, thats them. We've always been open to anyone and everyone and shall continue to do so. Horror Bid has done a great job in steering clear of some of the stupid beefs and schisms that have gone on over the years.

We've always showed respect to Derek and MM.Net, deservedly so. MM.Net has been the beacon for white mask collecting and we have Derek to thank for it. I think a few of you are starting to nit pick at what Derek might have meant here, or what Bridge meant there....c'mon people, thats how the shit starts.

As for Gary and H30, he's also been a friend to Horror Bid so any problems with him need to be handled via PM's. Thats how all issues should go down.

As a member of MM.net Im hoping it returns, I miss going there everyday. I miss a lot of the people there too.

In the meantime, the Horror Bid party boat sales on, so lets keep things cool and have fun. cheers -Evan

I'm not pointing the finger at anyone, that includes Burning Leaf. I like what Matt has going on over there. I conder him a friend and we've spoken on the phone. My message was a general post and was not inspired by any 'one thing.' It was a post out of frustration in general due to the current circumstances and how some chose to deal with it and try to capitalize on the te being down.

Anyway, lets please move on from this direction.

I hope to be back soon. Keep your eyes peeled. Thanks everyone.

sounds good derek and i believe you, i have no reason not to. but is the burning leaf not direct competition with mm.net? friends or not the whole te is white mask centric isnt it plus they put up a message on their front page welcoming all mm.net members. that seems shady to me because its the same type of te. not trying to start anything, just stating the facts.

Why did he post accept no imitations? Well, because there are no imitations! It's one of a kind. I miss the te and can't wait for it to be back.You have my support, Derek.

I was sent PMs and e-mails about joining/enjoying certain forums nce your te closed down and found it weird that instead of those forums asking you what they can do to help they just seemed to be digging the extra hits.

Anyway, the te WILL be back and there are over 3,300 members who cannot wait!

nce I've somehow been "implicated" I feel I should say something:

Derek, I don't think we've ever really spoken (nor have I really with Justin) but I was fairly active at MM.net, much more than I was/am here (just look at the join dates & post numbers.)

That's NOTHING against this te, I love this place, I just happen to be "addicted" to The Shape, so therefore I naturally lurked there more often.

My wife's ideas actually pertain heavily to your te & I'll PM you on what they are - nothing major, you've probably already thought of them yourself, but anything to help you out.

My post was mply a thank you to Justin & the people who do the news (whoever they may be.)

My wife & I read through lots of news & it spawned a lot of discuson between us which was awesome because, hey married folks - you most likely know what I'm talking about, we hardly ever just have something to discuss because we've both heard each other's crap a thousand times

As I stated in my thread in question, this is where I did & do now moreso go for general sci-fi/horror news.

And as long as MM.net is/will be up & running I will be there as well.

I'll eventually get around to joining other places as well probably.

No favoritism from me.



Here's to horror, sci-fi, the white-mask guy, the dead-skin masker, the mad hockey player, the burned up dream guy, the eye-toothed metalhead vamps (I hear the sequel sucks though - I'm actually afraid to see it,) the little girl puking green, the possessed dolls, blah blah (frakkin' conspiracy against "whitey" has me paranoid to even use the names of the movies )

Let's enjoy the rides y'all!

Good job by everyone being cool.....Derek please keep us posted and let us know when MM.net is back for the attack!

Also, I did want to mention that The Burning Leaf does have a section dedicated to The Shape but I'd say the over all theme is Halloween....the holiday and season. Theres two sections alone dedicated to Halloween celebrations, lore, costumes, parties, etc. I think its very cool as well that it pays some homage to the Pagan aspect of Halloween/Samhain.

Big thanks for everybody being civil. It's not always easy to do esepcially with emotions running high about this topic but it's good to hear from Derek and what is going on with the te.

JWarren makes a great point. There is no imitation for MM.net. HorrorBid's forum in the early days may have been MM.net Jr. lol but that was 3 years ago. Look around, we are certainty a much broader horror te and we are that way for a lot of reasons. Most notably I found a love for general horror that was sparked through the hobby of Myers mask collecting. MM.net and other older boards I have mentioned in past posts contributed a great deal to where we are today but we don't want to be MM.net, MM.net is MM.net and will be back soon.

When Joel and I found out the news about MM.net being shut down we did release a statement and we did welcome new comers, more so than anything because we knew that information would be hard to come by and if MM.net did close down we did want to welcome new all of you. We all love the same thing and a great deal of our friends are white mask collectors. One thing though, we are not trying to take any members from any other tes. This community is build on fans and fans will pick often a variety of places to go.

We are committed to each and every one of you guys and gals and the reaction about MM.net being shut down was a heartfelt nostalgic reaction. It's weird not being able to check in there every now and again to see what the latest topic is or to find a story to run. It was an entire community and one that we hope finds its way back home, pardon the pun. I have spoke with Derek via Facebook nce this mess happened and voiced how sorry I was for no other reason than because he helped get me started. I owe him a great deal for creating such a unique place.

Thanks again and as always I had to say something, wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't. Thanks to all of you for being here whether another te is open or not. nce when did des have to be chosen anyway. Come to both tes? Or a dozen tes, I know I do. lol! Justin (the giant headed one)

"Jabs" were taken at me and it's common knowledge. Repeatedly. I don't think I've ever taken a "jab" at anyone except maybe Terry. If I have, refresh my memory. If you want to air things I can do that for you as a LOT of people already know how things really went down. I really don't think you want that do you? As for contacting you, I've emailed you several times over the past few years with no response at all good or bad. That alone said a lot. Whatever happens with your te happens. Good or bad it doesn't really affect me. I finished with this thread long ago until someone took a "jab" at me. I'm finished with this thread now unless someone wants to continue. Live long and prosper.

Frakkin' A, man - & on that note....yeah, turn it around!

You know how touchy these thin Ibanez necks can be - especially when there's a Floyd Rose involved.

Actually, if you wanna give it a new home, I'd be glad to take it off your hands(As if you'd ever let it go - I know, bro - I just gotta frak w/ you outta love!

)

You can keep the EMGs, as long as it has the "easy-access neck joint," all I need is the neck & body (as long as that neck is a Wizard.)

Okay, I admit - I'm just trying to score another Ibanez to put my preference of pickups in, along w/ gutting everything else in it....I ain't played a stock axe nce my Black ESP Explorer-style LOOOOONG before it was a JH gnature model in a knockoff LTD veron (with EMG 81s - but what I REALLY miss is the ebony fretboard

)

All BS ade, though J - I'd love to see that axe in some action!

Jam us out a few tunes, Brother!

We've all heard how badass AR is, so let's all share!

BON is gonna throw a yard party here soon & hopefully I can find a reliable camera operator to film the show & give our fellow rock & rollers what I hope will be a very entertaining & totally live performance. Here's to axes & all other instruments....& as I changed the title in one of my posts on this thread, "Long Live MM.net!!"

Bridge Sunday 5/23/2010 at 06:41 AM | 64425
It has the easy access neck joint. This is the one out of many guitars, that never warped on me! Thats why this one is hard to let go of. I've been playing on it nce I was 19 and in a band for 10 years. Thats a photo below (Those are white stickers I temporarily put on the guitar), I was 20 in that picture. 14 years ago and it still plays like a gem!!If I would have known you were an Ibanez fan, I would have pm'd you awhile back in regards to the Ibanez custome gem series I had and sold. Anyhow, sorry to get off topic on this. Again, MM.NET will be on soon and we will ALL be celebrating, again!

So sorry to see that MM.net is down, but I'm sure Derek will fight the good fight and it should be back soon.

Real slap in the face to the fans though nce it's the fans that have kept Michael popular for the past 30 years. If the mass produced stuff wasn't constently such garbage year after year then fans would never have been demanded masks that look like the actual character instead of a cruddy generic white face.

and nce we're talking Myers and guitars....

Awe yeah - glad to know I'm not the only person to jam metal up the ass of almost every cover I play



Sounds great!!

And J - love the pic man, rock on, my Friend!

As long as it's got a Wizard neck & an all-access neck joint I'll feel right at home with an axe once I gut & modify it (as most of us guitarists do

- they just don't make the right stock guitar, do they?)

And I couldn't agree more, Don - while it is their "right" so to speak (I guess?)...without a REAL "Official Myers Mask" they should be thankful to the independent artists.

It's because of these independent artists that I've purchased 3 or 4 of the 30th Anniversary Boxes (because I naturally only need one - but I like giving ts to those I respect when I'm actually able to.)

Here's to still loving the hobby & wishing it a prompt "comeback" without all the underground paranoia

thanks for the compliment Bridge. This is actually my favorite guitar at the moment, I'm sure this forum can appreciate it while the muc forums I go to "don't get it."

This is my HalloweeN guitar.



I've replaced every piece of plastic with black (even the nut) and now I'm waiting for the black knobs to come in. Even the fretboards Ebony. I wanted a total black and orange guitar.

Also I don't get any attack ad type stuff when I check MM.net, just the same message it's been saying for awhile now.

BrandyWine Wednesday 5/26/2010 at 08:44 PM | 64474
I've been avoiding the MM stuff, but I had to pop in and say that Don's guitar is beautiful.



chubacabra Thursday 5/27/2010 at 02:27 AM | 64483
I'm not much for Les Pauls, but that one is very nice looking w/ the color scheme - & an ebony fretboard is always a plus for any axe.

I quit going to muc forums awhile back because all anybdy wanted at the time was to have Dime's EXACT tone & nobody seemed to understand...Dime was the reason he sounded the way he did; the Randalls, Deans & other pieces were just the bells & whistles.

I've actually wanted that color scheme on an Ibanez - but so far I keep ending up w/ odd colors like "Exorcist puke-green;" but hey, I don't care if the body is pink w/ a Hello Kitty symbol on it...if it sounds & plays how I want I'll probably buy it & go to gutting.

I won't bother posting pics of my gear though, nobody seems to appreciate mine either because they aren't "clascs."

Well, the amps probably are (& I know one of them is highly coveted among certain crowds) as well as some of the rack & floor units.......but we've strayed WAY off topic here Here's to MM.net being back up soon! thanks for the compliment Bridge. This is actually my favorite guitar at the moment, I'm sure this forum can appreciate it while the muc forums I go to "don't get it."
