Anyhow, we’re still working on the forum’s layout. It’s about 50% done. HK added some features back to the forums, such as avatars and our old Chucky emoticons I made back in 05′. Ah, those were the days. I still miss the old forum layout, but I hope you all enjoy the new one, as well as the main site!

In other news, back in August I went to FanExpo in Toronto and met up with Brad Dourif. He told me in his own words that he WILL be voicing Chucky in the remake, as well as playing the live role of Charles Lee Ray. I totally know he can still pull it off. Brad’s awesome like that. So it’s confirmed, and he seemed really pleased about it!

So any thoughts about the new layout? Or about Brad’s Role?

I’ve spent today doing MAJOR maintenance on the website, in case you haven’t noticed.

Chuckyholics.com is now running on an entirely new codebase, and after a day of programming on it, all user accounts should be converted to the new system.

What are the perks of this? Well, for one thing, we’re on a much more stable, and faster architecture now. Also, we should be able to keep spammers out easier, allowing legit users to register faster and join the community.

Of course, my favorite feature is that there is NO MORE DUAL REGISTRATION! Regardless of whether you register on the main site or the forums, that account will be able to access both areas. ONE ACCOUNT TO RULE THEM ALL! For those of you who previously had accounts on both areas, your forum account is now the only account you need to access the whole site.

The drawback to doing all these upgrades is that I don’t have a new theme yet, so everything’s pretty much the default for now. Don’t let this drive you away though, we’ll have the new design working soon. I just need to find a good web designer to do it, since I’m a lousy designer. I can handle the programming side as long as I don’t have to make it look pretty.

In the meantime, enjoy the site, and if you have any problems, PLEASE let me know as soon as possible by e-mailing me at HonkeyKong (at) Chuckyholics (dot) com

It seems like it was just yesterday that Coral and I started this site, but I guess time flies when you’re doing something you enjoy. Two years later, the site is just as popular, if not more so, than it was back in 2004/2005. Unfortunately, some parts of the site are still under contstruction/outdated, so I guess that goes to show that time can’t make me any less lazy.

I could go on and on about some of the good times and great discussions that have happened here, but that would be pointless considering that I’m speaking to the people who made it possible. This would never be a Chucky fan community without the fans, and if it weren’t for you people, we wouldn’t have a website to run. So, I’d like to take this time to thank all of you for visiting, whether it’s once a week, once a month, or several times daily. You are the ones that have made Chuckyholics the great fan community that it is today, and I am glad that I’ve been able to meet so many wonderful fans of the series, and knowing that I’m not alone in my rabid fanaticism.
