I know it's kinda already been mentioned above at least three times, but I'm taking it further:
The entire online Jason replica-collecting hobby would not have existed in its current form had it not been for Justin's recast-from-original part 7 hockey masks back in the late 90s, and his help in getting Shayne Snyder/GOHS off the ground. Justin and Shayne began the whole internet craze for these things, and it just grew by leaps and bounds from year to year, inspiring all kinds of other artists to get involved (and many recasters, too...), and netting in hundreds of new fans from related websites like the old F13films.com.
I think for that reason alone, this board will forever be conceived as more friendly to the topic of Jason than any other slasher, monster, or film/series. Hell, even the huge collector circuit that moves in and out of the HMA nowadays began with hockey masks and Jason heads amongst the very first offerings. This stuff is seriously the backbone of our very community.
Cheers,
Ryan
