Non-CBM Site Contributions

It wont happen sorry, if it appeals to the overall visitors of this site it will be posted. This horse is dead my friend and has been brought up on many occasions. Think of it this way, if you go to a comic-con do you not see non comic related material? Video games, B rated horror flicks, or even random Sci-Fi? Think of this site as that, a comic book convention that gives the readers what they want. If you don't want to read about it, skip that particular article, problem solved.

@stumblin, I know Comic-con shows more than comics but the cons have sold out now and they are nothing more than promotional tools used by movie companies to sell their product. Granted thats what a convention is but when the cinema takes over the comics it shows that the main fan base is being over shadowed.

If you look the left of your article, you will see some tabs with names like: CBM Horror, CBM Sci-Fi and Anime & Manga. While the site is primarily for Comic Book Movies, many of the contributers to the site are also big fans of these other genres. Not to mention, many of the "non-related" topics have actually been comic books at one time or another.

If you don't want to read articles about sci-fi or horror films...don't click on them. Simple as that.

@ stumblin...i went to NYCC and it wasn't as big as SDCC but it was a fun place to go...all Im saying is that San Diego Comic Con cares more about the movies. New York appealed to everyone, alot of anime too.

*thinks for a sec*...you have a point there.lol. then why not change the name of the site XP.lol. just kidding.

@ blackairs

galactus has stated many times that this site is for CBM's and anything else that would interest the majority of its visitors. also, everyone that posts articles are doing it through their personal fan sites. the fan sites are our personal little corner of the main site.

and there is nothing worse than working hard on an article that is popular, and then having some ignorant [frick] post a comment with nothing more to say than, "what does this have to do with comics?" its very easy to not click on an article that doesn't interest you. in fact, its EASIER to NOT click on it than it is to actually CLICK and view it. so its simple. if the headline and description doesn't interest you, then don't read the article. why view an article only to complain that it isn't comic related??

i like a lot a lot of the articles posted on here that are not comic related, but more importantly i like a lot of the PEOPLE that comment on the articles. i'm a regular on this site, and i trust the opinions of people like Tyler, Guardian, Josh, Ror-Machine, LEEE, Mulder, and MANY others (sorry if i left some people out) WAY more than people on other sites. so i'm GLAD that these articles get posted. anytime i can get opinions of things that interest me (comic related or not) in one place, i see that as a winning situation.

I don't have a problem with non comic related articles. As has already been stated, its up to each individual to decide what he or she finds interesting enough to read.

I do however have a problem with the rash of (TABLOID) articles that have been posted over the last couple of weeks.

People come to this site for news, and most of the time its fairly reliable and up to the minute.

I for one don't care who is dating who. And I hate reading an article based on information given to the writer by (A GOOD FRIEND). The odds are pretty damn good the article is crap packed, which means reading it was a waste of my time.

It also in my opinion, steals credibility from the site as a whole. I would hate to see CBM's name suffer because some people just want to write an article so bad that facts, or actual substance, are not required.

@ jusme

thanks man! i just think people are complaining for the sake of complaining, especially since no one is making them view any articles. its up to the visitors of the site to decide what articles they want to read, so i find it a little ridiculous to complain about an article. i would rather have everything that interests me on this site. i LOVE this site, i don't want to go view 3 or 4 different sites to get my news if i can get it all here :)

@Lol! Yeah dude, I love getting all my news from one site. My daily routine used to be SHH.com, g4tv.com, CBM.com, marvel.com, comicbookresources.com, and maybe a few more. Now this is the only site I visit on a consistent daily basis.

@RedSkull: Lol! Dude, this sight is for news not for... wait actually it kinda is for boobs too, but only as a pleasant cameo.
