Nolan; he was referring to the user called 'Jim'. Ampharoid; thanks for the post! That's the sort of insight that's needed, here. I think this thread has shown how diverse a reaction there's been to this whole shebang, and how difficult it is to quantify how much better/worse the forum is (after less than 48 hours?). I think the current 'thread madness' is just a short-term condition that the forum is going through during its weaning stage, and I highly doubt we'll keep up this 15ish-new-threads-a-day for all that much longer.

I get drunk and watch stuff :P

Throwing knives are awesome -- no other weapon can match the elation of scoring a kill with 'em. I've been meaning to try and get better with the riot shield, just for the giggles.

It'd be fine to have elements of the show not being in every show. For a start it might make the hitler potentially more surprising! Honestly. And more public interaction ftw, plz. Yes I am scared of the meet.

Oh. Well she's a keeper because of the boobs, obviously.

The hardest ones are CORN (woo!), with C being the one I don't think anyone will get.

So what you're saying is that by closing the rate... threads we've gotten rid of a bunch of posts that nobody reads and have saved the poster that 5 minutes of their lives that they would've wasted writing something pointless that they don't want anyone to read anyway? RE: Comic thread -- give the experiment some time, alright? Mistakes have/will be made, but they will be rectified once things simmer the fuck down and we see how broke we've made it, then we can provide various solutions. And before anyone says "if it ain't broke..." again; there's plenty of other areas of discussion that this experiment covers, and they're looking promising in their own ways. We need to stop being so meta about it all and just deal for the time being.

I worked with her, and she added me after I left, so nyer!

Blame Dan Dare for the RUBBISH topic that these logos come from -- that is; Can you name the movie production studio from one letter of their logo? Some of these are really easy, others are ridiculously hard. As you can tell, I didn't quite manage to find a logo for each letter of the alphabet... future editions will not be so shoddy!

She's just turned 17, I think. She is the dopiest person I've ever met. But has massive boobs so it's ok.

Be not afraid of cutting the time down but doubling your output! Halve an ep, then release them a week apart, or whatever?

Really hoping the girl replies to that... She's blonde with a capital DD for tits.

Godfather is another bookfilmeything. Was talking to my dad about The girl... series. Apparently the guy wrote the trilogy of books, sent them to a publisher before finishing his editing, had a heart attack and died, then the books are published and notes for another three books were found, with another 4 said to have been considered too. Anyway, not seen the film yet, but decided to get the audiobook for some weird reason.

That's how the playground sub-forum,the creative gallery and tech board all formed -- it was deemed that there was enough discussing of these topics in order to generate the respective boards -- and while teh pace of those forums is substantially more pedestrian than the gen chit-chat, I/we have gotten used to there being pretty much just one/two updated threads in them when we log-in. Creating a sub-forum needs to be a balanced process - firstly, is a topic being discussed enough to demand a sub-forum, and secondly would the transportation of said discussion negatively impact the gen chit-chat. Essentially, if we fracture the gen chit-chat into various sub-forums covering all topics, what would be the point of gen chit-chat? By locking the big topics we can, hopefully, witness some mildly organic changes. As has been said; we should go with the notion that a 2-page topic is a success, and we're encouraging you to make the threads about the movie you want to discuss. This way, you'll have to actually initiate a discussion with your opening post. If people bite and reply, then win. Conversation ensues. If not, then you fail at making topics and should probably try harder next time. I think the main problem here is the different ways people use the forum. Some 'refreshers' sit at a computer all day and check on n-e very frequently. Some... gobstoppers (?!) check once or twice a day, and, much like reading your regular paper, use the forum as part of their routine, checking the same threads in the same order, sometimes daring to venture into that other board you like sometimes but generally never post anything there, checking out the hot-peeps gallery but not posting any replies, etc, etc. One element of the community aspect here is that everyone seemingly reads every topic, so everyone knows everything. The idea that we have more scattered threads means that things might clique-up a bit. Who knows? One thing for sure is that this should encourage positive content. Plus it means us mods can actually do some moderating. This is good news for you lot because it means there'll be an inevitable angry mob shoouting about something we did. Those topics are fun. EDIT: Oooh! And RE: UIG, ReZ's new themed photos thread is precisely the way to combat the loss of UIG. We all know the themed/challenge pictures were the best bit of that thread. Let's just try and think outside the box for ways to bring back our favourite elements of the big threads in novel ways!

I have just bought an AWESOME sun-hat, which we will see at the Meet on saturday! Previous hat instances, according to facebook; Friend's hat... Another friend's hat (that makes me afraid, clearly) Another friend's hat covering up my burned hair after fail-fire-poi. Selection of hats for a HAT PARTY (was so win) many years ago. Look at my sexy young self. Hat party itself. Good combo. I took 5 hats to the party and only took one home. More recent - tis actually a mask worn backwards. I want hair like that though. Xmas '08. Apologies for burning your eyes with my face.

This is my favourite new thread. Thank you.

LOLLIES! :P Anyway... My mum's a bit of a hoarder and is always going on about how her friend's kids make loads of money through ebay, and how she can sell Three Plates With Matching Mug, or Wardrobe With No Door, or Cookery Book From 1979... She doesn't understand that ebay isn't a place where you can sell anything... Mind you, I've never really used ebay. And I have my own Incomplete Set Of Star Wars Fact Files, and Twelve VHS Of Films You Already Own On Blu-Ray that I could sell.

Not really sure/can't remember what I said I'd watch next. Never finished Sopranos. Need to catch up on Mad Men and Dollhouse (not sure if I'm bothered), though.

I have a few weekends planned -- with my sheffield juggling friends;a campling trip in wales, near that village with all the bookshops. With a collection of friends I then have the crawley circus 'festival', then a trip to wales again for a family get-together at a b&b. A lot of my friends are talking about road-tripping america. I've got half a mind to really work out an iteneraryeraray and push for it to happen, as it would be truly epic.

Statler Brothers - Flowers On The Wall.

Maybe you should go on this tangent? We're not stopping you! The UIG is the most questionable topic, but if you just let time pass, then the world will correct itself. Honestly, it should only show you people just how sad your lives are if you're so affected by a forum change. Just get on with your own lives, stop giving a shit how the internet feels about it.

He was trying to be funny. Anyway -- the comic book thread/anime being 'a specific interest' was precisely why I found it hard to penetrate. Again, get over it and see how it goes. As for sexuality thread -- it's survived -- it's basically a thread for "help my relationship sucks" and "omg gay", and that's.... well I don't care either way. But if all relationship threads were amalgamated we'd've missed out on a lot of classic threads. Which is what the de-merge is about! Sure, we'll get the wave of people trying to be rebellious, then we'll just settle into forum life, and then we'll see. I still don't see what the big deal is.

In a bit of a nowhere zone right now. Should really sign on this week. I'm considering doing a teacher training course, or a TEFOL, but really know nothing about either of them. I'm living off of leftover student loans until that runs out, at which point suicide is teh best option.

I've shied away from the comic/anime threads because they seem so cliquey. Give it some time to see how it goes.

I still don't get this whole 'copyright infringement' thing. Does my vid not load or something?
