Should there be a board on movies?

Probably not. I can't believe I just asked that question.

gweirda28 Oct 2009 11:45 a.m. PST

ummm…there already is, right?

Connard Sage28 Oct 2009 11:46 a.m. PST

More boards. Lovely.

Eventually, everyone will have their own board.

"Eventually, everyone will have their own board."

I can't see that happening. There'll be plenty of room for both you and Allen in the Bites when Provoked board even with Kyoteblue adding "Dude!" as needed.

"…even with Kyoteblue adding "Dude!" as needed."

Which is actually never, in point of fact.

Caesar28 Oct 2009 12:48 p.m. PST

I prefer the term "motion pictures".

darthfozzywig28 Oct 2009 1:13 p.m. PST

We REALLY need separate boards for "Silent Pictures" and "Talkies". Anything short of that would be too confusing to contemplate.

Patrick R28 Oct 2009 1:26 p.m. PST

While we are a it maybe we could have a machinima board ?

BTW there is a movies board on the Plus section which deals with all the non mini related stuff.

RavenscraftCybernetics28 Oct 2009 2:37 p.m. PST

films
cinematic adaptations
talkies
motion picture shows
each with a classic and new sub board
xposting to an inappropriate board being dawghousablle.

"Never added or never needed?"

Hell, it's ALWAYS added…

Why would you waste time on such penny-ante nonsense when we have a 'biplane board', but no 'triplane board'?!?

Neotacha28 Oct 2009 7:55 p.m. PST

And here is yet another example of why splitting off the boards into "message boards" and "plus boards" was a silly (and bad) idea. Deucey, look here TMP link for the movie boards.

Bill should have just made all boards except perhaps the TMP Talk and General Wargaming boards 'opt-in' boards automatically, and up by the table of contents have a permanent message explaining how to select the boards one wants to view. Perhaps if folks had to click the check boxes for the things they wanted to see, rather than the things they didn't, we could all figure out how to use the check boxes the first time round.

Edited twice: once for spelling and once for fabulously screwed up punctuation.

Don't you mean 'opt-out'?

Neotacha29 Oct 2009 4:30 a.m. PST

No. They are opt-out boards now. If you don't want to see them, you have un-check the box. I think they should all be unchecked until the viewer goes in and deliberately checks them off.

Deucey Supporting Member of TMP29 Oct 2009 10:01 a.m. PST

Wow. I have learned so much. (I thought checking meant I wanted it – Mystery Solved!)

I'm glad I posted this question now!!!

gweirda29 Oct 2009 11:05 a.m. PST

less than 24-hours…

If I could learn so much in so little time, I would be so much happier…


ps- not meant to be sarcastic: I really do admire/envy the courage to learn.
