I might be way off base here, but I think this message board is a fairly good representation of Stephen King and his many endeavors. He doesn’t limit himself only to his writing. He is often publicly open and expresses (in written form, in interviews and in speeches) his likes and dislikes, his trials and tribulations, his love of baseball, movies, worthy causes, music and much more. And he isn’t afraid to tackle socially hot topics such as activism, taxes, and even his wretched politics. Why shouldn’t he allow the same from fans of his works?
The message board just seems to be another extension of his many ventures. A work in progress story with an interactive flowchart, where the reader can immerse themselves and contribute to the subplots that interest them. The message board has an extensive cast of characters, major and minor, good and evil, serious and goofballs. It's got long-time members, hit-and-runners, some only remembered in hearts and minds, and some apparently on a walkabout of sorts at the current time. The entire message board is a good read all in all and a place that definitely sparks interest and emotions. Just like a good book!
Unfortunately many new members and casual readers don’t yet realize this message board is new and there was an old message board chocked full of discussions and opinions geared primarily to his written works, and adaptations made from them.
This message board is run and controlled pretty well by the benevolent overlord Ms. Mod and her "mini onions." It’s a place to give fans the opportunity to see the inner working of the Stephen King universe that isn’t available anywhere else, and a place to openly express their opinions -- on just about everything. It really does provide a pleasant atmosphere where fans can become part of the Stephen King story, or something.

I did good, thanks Mom.
