I'm not really sure what this convention is.

The FAQ might help.  You can find it by following the 1st link in the main topic.

While just looking at Midnite's post and Chiller's site, I don't actually see Denise Nickerson mentioned; perhaps I misunderstood Midnite.

Really?  Follow the 2nd link.  She's listed under "Dark Shadows Reunion" in the grey area and her bio w/ photo are directly below that.

Well, I'm sure I'm not the only "ancient blood" fan (as those of us who watched DS during its original broadcast are sometimes known) to recall vividly an encounter between Mama Cowsill and Jonathan Frid on the briefly popular evening series The Generation Gap. (An episode of this program featuring David Henesy and his Mom was shown at a DS Festival a few years back.)  Frid appeared in full Barnabas regalia surrounded by masses of dry-ice induced "ground fog" in a stunt on the show. Mama C correctly identified him as Barnabas Collins from Dark Shadows.  I remember noting her New England accent and being charmed.

Gothick,

I saw Frid's appearance on The Generation Gap for the first time during this year's Festival banquet.  There was also a really silly part during which he asked the show's host what his blood type was, the latter answered "Type O," and Barnabas reacted with disappointment.  

DSFAN4EVER,

Hope your birthday is fangtastic!

I'm afraid I have some bad news. It appears that David Selby will not be doing this play after all. 

Now that's a darn shame.   :-

Sorry, if you thought I was trying to imply that this forum should become homebase for discussion of the wiki creation.  I was just suggesting that if people are having trouble figuring out the wiki's communication system, they could post they're questions in this thread until they get the hang of it.

MB wasn't suggesting that interested parties be thrown to an unfamiliar system; he offered the PM and email capabilities of the Forum.  There are key differences between discussions about your project that end up in the posting area and in either PM, email, or the talk pages of wikicites.  The latter options do not use a significant amount, if any, of this site's bandwidth, they do not show up as new posts for all visitors to read, they are not stored indefinitely on the Forum's webspace, and they do not have to be moderated.  That last one applies only to my mods and myself-- we read every word posted here.  While MB and I honestly never thought it was your intention to make this your homebase, it seems to us that you were inviting others to brainstorm with you here, which means that any planning conducted in posts between you and your wiki editors would have to be stored, seen in post listings by visitors who are not involved with your project, and read by the board mods.

We're all still here for Dark Shadows, after all.  I'd've thought that any discussion about DS would be welcomed.

Proudhug, we support your project-- I think it's great-- and you're welcome to report about it here, but to help you understand where MB and I are coming from when it comes to others posting suggestions or communcating with you about your project, please consider that if you use this topic to brainstorm and communicate with your editors, regardless of how often it occurs, then wouldn't that open the door for every other Forum cousin that is involved in a DS project outside of these boards to discuss their projects here with their editors, or to communicate here with others working on their site?  If this were to occur, we would not have the space and the mods would not have the time to devote to the actual purpose of these forums, which is (from the guidelines) to discuss DARK SHADOWS, its characters, actors and storylines.  With all due respect, what you propose (for others 'to offer your suggestions" about your project) is not discussing DS-- it is conducting the business of your site.

I just wasn't about to assume that since I got asked the same question twice that it was the same person asking.

LOL, a good idea, apparently. 

Out of curiosity, who here is Mysticpen?

I'll be damned if I can figure how one member of wikicites can send a personal message to another "wikicitizen," but since Mysticpen is contributing to your DS wiki perhaps you can leave a message for him there?

Thank you for letting us know, Charles.
