Thierry and I have been bouncing around the thought of a new forum for a long time. We truly believe that we fit a niche that needed filling, a forum that covers categories of posters and poster-related items outside of just movie posters. While recent events certainly prompted conclusion of our thoughts, those thoughts did not germinate in relation to anything other than the need for a broader based of poster enthusiasts in one forum.
We are not an alternative -- we are an addition. That simple.
