I mean obviously I could. will I? only time will tell

I do feel like these formats could do with some change though, some reinvigoration. it’s been the same since 2013 or something. maybe we try it, and after a few months, we’ll realise it’s a pointless change that has no purpose aside from the novelty value. if that’s the case, since these forums function properly we could just merge all the useless monthly threads to form one 2018 megathread again. (I assume).

fine with a rolling general film chat thread but would rather have more individual threads for new releases

find the rolling thread alright but not really a fan of everything being shoved in there, limits the audience to about 10 people
feel the same about the rolling genre threads on the music boards

To me that’s the best solution suggested so far

I kind of feel like there’s a higher threshold for that when we have the all-in-one rolling thread. Think that would be different if we had a separate dedicated film & TV board, but as I said earlier I definitely see the arguments against that solution too. But I guess as long as no one minds the social board being cluttered up with film/television threads then that’s the way to go.

We did this awhile back I think it’s a good idea.

Well I assume not really but the point of this discussion seems to be about making it easier to find stuff about films and TV, which is part of what this is for.

Looking forward to us going with the wishes of the majority in 2018. Viva democracy, and viva the bloody good lads and lasses or neither of the aboves.

I’ve added the subcategory in any case. Thus will be the first thread added to it

Why not appoint a couple of sub forum mods?

You can’t make forum-based moderators. Everyone who’s Level 4

can amend threads to put them in the right category, but the point is that few people give a shit.

the annoying thing about sub forums is that when you get to the end of a thread you can’t click the ‘social’ tag to go back to social, you can only click whatever shite house sub forum tag it also has

Yeah, imagine if they’d put a permanent bar at the top with a link back to the parent board or all the forums that was always available?

yeah but that takes you to the parent board, not the social board. so I have to click through, wait for it all to load, then click through to social. ANNOYING.

I literally just clicked on the word ‘social’ there and got back to the Social board.

on mobile I mean
