    Seems the only forum dedicated to TWD at the moment - Shame we can't get it announced

    I don't think there are any other forums around dedicated to this series at the moment.

    It's a shame we can't get it mentioned or announced on any official sites/Facebook/Twitter pages

    Not for the show directly, but about TWD in general: http://twdfanclub.net/. So we aren't the only one.

    As for official? AMC's TWD site has a "forum" section, but it's more like a shoutbox kind of deal.

    That is interesting!

    I do know most people who are fans of the comic, thus the show, and are looking for an 'official' board probably have found their way to Kirkman's board (iirc based on Image's--his comic publisher's--servers). We could probably get some pretty good traffic from people who don't want to post there, from what I've seen it's a place you might like to visit, but not lay a foundation, if you know what I mean.

    Just an Idea.

    This is called the Homepage of the dead, not the official page of GAr.

    If this show takes off perhaps this site should be dedicated to that as well.

    If that's going to happen perhaps you should get ahead of it because if it becomes popular enough people will want to research it and this place, if it is still one of the places you can find info on it ,will get alot more trafic and that means alot more advert dollars for you.

    Not a bad idea, los. The forums I could see sliding as they are, but the main page wouldn't really fit that bill. It would have to be reworked in some way.

    As for getting a slice of the pie......I imagine AMC/FX are probably working on some kind of official forum as we speak...

    I wouldn't have a problem with the forums having a makeover if it's going to make the place better, we're not married to gar after all.

    Things have to either evolve or die.

    Also, that's why I suggested he get the jump on it so our name is out there and search engines will have the site at or near the top.

    Or die and evolve into undead underwater navigating, tidal-resistant super-zombies.

    Dumb question: Wouldn't adding some kind of "walking dead" description to the website make it show up on WD searches?
    Oblivion gallops closer, favoring the spur, sparing the rein - I think we will be gone soon

    Exactly.

    No offense but the name Geaorge A. Romero isn't exactly making people beat a path to our door anymore.

    Now TWD might be something long lasting or it might be a fad but even if it just helps the site make money short term I think it's worth a gamble.

    There are going to be way more people with interest in it than GAr particularly in the beginning.

    I'll add it...

    I've specifically registered the walking dead forum with some search engines... But if anyone here knows anywhere else to 'pimp' it that's appropriate feel free!

    Cool

    This is not to take away anything from these awesome forums, but we did start a forum JUST for fans of the comic and tv series. You can find us at http://www.roamersandlurkers.com.

    Hopefully, we can be a friendly neighbor.

    I stand corrected

    Neil, contact AMC and have them link your site... since FD is a huge GAR fan and the series is an homage to GAR Zed films witht he right words to the right people I am sure they would have no problem linking your site to their stuff for TWD... shit, Universal linked to me for DAWN 04, so i don;t see why AMC wouldn't do the same.

    Not many forums!! I find that hard to believe.
    There are 4 podcasts already. 3 of which are excellent.
