Hey Bon, thanks for posting this proposal! You're a truly devoted Nicfan. No kidding cuz though, indeed, I realized the sad fact before reading your post, I didn't come here to tell it to everyone...ashamed

And very briefly, to every Nicaholic or Cagiac (or whoever is addicted to Nic, LOL!) here, like what Bon said, remember to keep this site running no matter how busy you are. One or two post(s) from time to time will be of great help. This forum needs you!

With sincerity,
Eirian

Hi ALL..... A true story to tell............

I've been a "Nicfan" for about a dozen years now and have been an on/off active members on the three most incredible fan sites ever devoted to Nic for 10 years, this being one of them.

Before this forum (which is a spin off from CAGEFACTOR) came into existence, there was the massively popular TONCAS site.  TONCAS stood for The Original Nicolas Cage Appreciation Society and it WAS a true society.  It was online for about four years, maybe five, and it boasted around 1,000 members.  On any given day, there were anywhere from 10 to 40 ACTIVE posters posting, virtually every day.  It was a place where fans not only discussed the incredible actor, Nic Cage, but also created games and topics, songs and poems and where we shared each others lives.  We held contests, raised money to place congratulatory ads in trade papers for Nic and we even held two NICFESTS, where members came from all over the world to have a funfest in honor of Nic.  It was  an amazing group of fans who belonged to Toncas.  Sadly, because of some shenanigans and the ensuing drama caused by various members, Toncas was pulled from the web by it's owners. 

At the time of TONCAS, there were also two other very popular websites devoted to Nic.  The first was called ADMIRE MY CAGE and it was run by the highly talented and very devoted Nicfan, Renee.  There was also CAGEFACTOR which was run by another very talented and supportive Nicfan, Colleen.  Both of these sites were more traditional websites, not fansites, as it were.  They held a tremendous amount of current news and pictures for any Nicolas Cage fan to immerse themselves in and they were extremely popular websites to peruse.  Both Renee and Collen were active and highly esteemed members of TONCAS.  In fact, at various times they were on the 'board' and filled important posts necessary to running the highly popular and active fansite, TONCAS.  Without them, TONCAS would not have been what it was, the ULTIMATE Nicolas Cage fansite. 

After Toncas was pulled, the owner of ADMIRE MY CAGE, decided to pull her own site and she gifted the owner of CAGEFACTOR with much of her websites content.  The owner of CAGEFACTOR graciously accepted the 'gifts' and incorporated much of it into who her website, making it grow and it then became the only ORIGINAL Nicolas Cage fansite left online. 

CAGEFACTOR then split into two entities, the fansite, found at Cagefactor.com, and THIS FORUM.  Both owned by Colleen. 

Thru the years the original fansite, CAGEFACTOR, has slowly ceased to be active and sadly............as I was told by a very loving, devoted and quietly supportive fan of Nic's, has NOW BEEN PULLED from the web. 

CAGEFACTOR HAS CEASED TO BE. 

Leaving only this original forum in it's wake.   (BTW, There are a few other Nic fansites out there......one being the very up to date and artistically produced http://nicolas-cage.biz/).

A few years back I offered to purchase this site from Colleen to make it into what I envisioned it could be.  Sadly, she said no to me and continues to own the content and broadband on which it exists.   At this point, I'm sincerely hoping that this forum is not next in line for being pulled. 

So what I propose to ANY and ALL NICFANS out there is this................. 

MAKE THIS PLACE SO ACTIVE, SO VIBRANT, SO COLORFUL that it will ONCE AGAIN draw lots of conversation, pictures, camaraderie of fans,  and therefor become THE NIC PLACE TO BE!   Make it the place that when Nic wants to see how his 'fans' are fairing and what they are thinking of his work, the place he comes to visit!   Which, for those of you who don't know, he has said he does do.  

Make THIS FORUM so popular that it will continue to remain on the web! 

If I could, I would try myself to do as I propose here but I simply can't.  For various personal reasons, I find that I can no longer be as active as I once was in the world of Nic.  And trust me, I was active!  (ask anyone from years back....LOL)!   But I can stop by from time to time to read what's out there and to once in awhile post a goodie and I promise I will continue to do so.  I'll be here.....in the shadows....rooting for all of you! 

OH............Truly!   I am sooooooo hoping that ALL OF YOU, the newer NICFANS, can pull together and become a real family, the way that the original Nicolas Cage appreciation society once was.   It was an amazing place dedicated to an amazing man.  And it was a FUN place to be.  You guys can make it happen here if you all group together and step up to the 'plate' as it were!

Folks!  Nicolas Cage is an awe-inspiring and talented actor and a man who devotes time, energy and money into working on behalf of the children of this world  He DESERVES a fabulous, dedicated group of fans who show their admiration of HIM.  So..............to anyone willing......I say this..............Please..... 

MAKE THIS FORUM THE PLACE TO BE A NICFAN! 

:)

FAREWELL TO CAGEFACTOR.  WE WILL MISS YOU. 

Take care everyone.  Love, Bonnie
