Aw I love Night '90. Some people even like it better than the original; but of course, those people are wrong.

After a brief flirtation with HPotD, in its original nested, no-signup-required format back in about 2000, I want to ATZ and was an active member for about six years. It was a great site initially, with a good gang of regulars, but then they opened a Zombie Survival and Defense forum and overnight there was a sudden influx of new guys posting endless "macho" pictures of themselves wearing camo gear and balaclavas, waving samurai swords around, or with guns strapped to every body limb while pointing an automatic into the lens. You know: the kinda stuff you see on the news after someone goes postal. These guys, who on the whole knew very little about zombie films, gradually took over and all the regulars began to drift away, myself included. Pretty sad when I think about how it used to be. 
I don't know about Neil, but I am a member; though I hardly ever venture into the US&D section. There's people that only post in that part that I've never heard of, haha. I frequent ATZ forums because they're always active.
As for another Night of the Living Dead movie, it looks like that bubble is about to finally burst: if you look at the list of remakes, re-edits and re-imaginings, you can see a gradual acceleration in the rate of releases, starting at one every three or four years in the late 1980s/early 1990s, rising to four in one year in 2012. At one point, the association of the Night of the Living Dead title was great free marketing, but now it's getting to the point that the title has saturated the market, there's so many films flying under that flag that it's difficult for even a hardcore horror fan to work out which movie he/she is picking up. In terms of publicity, that title is going to start becoming a lead weight, and hopefully 2012 or 2013 will mark the death of this strange fad for raping the NotLD name.
I hope it does burst. It may after these recent NOTLDs come out.. but I think that maybe only the "hardcore horror fan" will even be aware of them. I don't think the average person will even hear about Night of the Living Dead: Origins 3-D, much less see it on a shelf somewhere. But maybe they will, you never know.. I was surprised to see Zombie Diaries 2 at the local Wal-Mart.

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
