MyD Suggests For A MOVIE Board
« on: Monday, September 11, 2006, 05:18:37 PM »
I see we have a Music, Art, and General Community Thread...
...yet, there's no Movie Board.

I am suggesting, since we do talk a lot about movies in the past on boards, that Movies get their own board.

What do y'all think???

We could have an entertainment board where music and movies can go?

Y'know Raisa, that's actually not a bad idea either....

..even though I'd rather have Movies having their own Movie Board.
 
What does everyone else think...?

Hmmmm....

To be honest, I don't care.  Might make sense to make the music board just general non-game entertainment, though, because there wasn't a lot of activity there before.

I like the idea of a movie or entertainment board for 2 reasons. First, if I watch a movie months after you guys did it's easy to find. I guess that's not a problem anymore with search though. Second, if we do have an Entertainment section on the new site we can tie it in with that forum instead of the general community forum.

Didn't we have a movie board on TME and it hardly have any activity?  Or am I mistaken?

The entertainment board isn't a bad idea, but we should at least word it differently, since there is a gaming section as well.  Maybe "Movies and Music?"

I think he meant that we had one, but it was removed due to disuse.  I don't remember either way.

I guess I could go with that. Though I liked talking about movies in the community boards because it kept activity going.

I dunno if it's just me, but I always thought the Community Board was always hopping and quite active without all the Movie discussion and all.

If we do it, a combined Movies and Music board would be the way. Having an individual board is bad because it spreads us thin. Its like Pyro says, it keeps the "main" forum looking more active.

If the rest of y'all are cool w/ it, yeah -- I could definitely live w/ a combined Movies and Music board...

That's of course If I don't get my demand of a Movie Board being met... :P

MyD would manage keeping a forum hopping on his own I think even if we've all jumped ship.

Hehe, Raisa. :P
Yeah, y'all know I love to double and triple post in a row in one thread... :P
Especially when I can't get people really going into a topic I am interested in for some reason... :P

And y'all know I love to create topics -- whether people care or nobody gives a damn about the topic, either! :P

I definitely feel that it is a good idea, but not just yet. We just don't have enough traffic and the rush everyone sees right now is partly because of the excitement of the new board. I think once we have a lot more members then yes, good idea.

Right now it would spread things too thin.

LOL, sorry Pug, I made it before your post.  I don't think it will take too much traffic away.  If anything, it will liven up the music board.  Plus that board will be a great resource for checking out movies and music that was posted in the past.  It's too easy for that stuff to get lost in the community forum.

heh no worries. Just my thoughts. If it doesn't thin the traffic, then awesome. It would be great to have an entertainment section.  ;D

Hey plus when Ender does his movie reviews, we will have a place to have the discussion links!

I think it'll be good.  Community is pretty hopping at the moment (obviously this will die down at some point), and we almost always have simultaneous movie and music threads going.  Hopefully the introduction of movies will get some more action going with the music aspect.

YAY!

Though I feel a bit lost in the movies and music forum since i've kinda stopped listening to most music.  I haven't really had time to watch movies except during flights.
