I have an idea to drive more discussion in MovieChat

So it goes like this...

Add a special board for aggregate posts. The only thing it does is displaying ALL posts and replies made in recent time for all and any thread in the entire MovieChat.

They are not real boards though, but merely links to the originating boards themselves. Basically a virtual board.

With one click users can quickly skim on every recent activities happened in MovieChat and then jumping right into the post that interests him/her.

This has two-fold benefit: to entice more discussions (the main purpose) and also reducing the tendency of people making movie or actor specific threads on General Discussion because the corresponding board itself has little to no traffic.

I don't like it.

[–] actionkamen (23176) 8 years ago

How could you?! How could you not lik dis?

Barclays is a troll a.k.a. Bennie. It has been confirmed by Naps, Apis, myself, and Dazed. Do not bother interacting with it.

Arvin! Good to have you back. Come on, join us in The Club 1000...

Hahah, I saw a thread on that. Only, MovieManCin would get his own thread and a couple others and myself would have all ready made it to the 2000 club. Then again, there could be 100 club, 1000 club, and any other club that is made with an added "0".

[–] actionkamen (23176) 8 years ago

There's also a 666 club.

Thank you. Thankyouverymuch!

Thought you retired, arvin. Welcome back

[–] Barclays (960) 8 years ago

Liars. Coincidently, all those people you listed are obviously my ignore list.

[–] napsdufroid (2077) 8 years ago

Nice try, little bennie. You also said arvin was on your ignore list, yet you know what he posted. Busted again, trollboy

[–] TexasJack (12516) 8 years ago

This is a great idea.

[–] actionkamen (23176) 8 years ago

See, everybody here likes it except Barclays...

So kind of like the trending list, but instead of just showing the movie where the recent post occurred, it would show the actual recent posts?
That seems like a good idea.
It would save some clicks, instead of seeing a movie in the trending list and then having to go to that board, click the top thread, and click the last post in it. (and then repeat for every trending movie)

[–] actionkamen (23176) 8 years ago

Yes! And the best thing is it also works with any other topical discussions.

[–] Popcorn Kernel (2368) 8 years ago

It's got my vote.

[–] ALurker (485) 8 years ago

From the sounds of that, I think that idea could work too.

[–] Barclays (960) 8 years ago

What you're talking about already exists as a complete forum, imdb2. Why don't you go there instead of trying to turn this place into imdb2?
Why should the creator of this site be constantly changing things around because a few people are never satisfied?
I swear, people are never satisfied. If you don't like the way this forum is, then go to another one. Odds are the same people here are there as well. There isn't going to be a lot of new members so keep dreaming. The average person doesn't give a damn about movie discussions.

[–] actionkamen (23176) 8 years ago

Okay.

[–] Barclays (960) 8 years ago

Let's just focus on making this forum the way it is, our home. We all need to learn to get along because we are a community.

[–] napsdufroid (2077) 8 years ago

No. Everyone else is a community. You're just an annoying purposeless troll, little bennie.

[–] brux (14840) 8 years ago

You should have died with IMDB boards

[–] napsdufroid (2077) 8 years ago

Excuse me?

[–] brux (14840) 8 years ago

you don't seem to really have a clue about how to get along though, you really act like a jerk.

[–] Barclays (960) 8 years ago

Oh great. Here comes another anonymous poster jumping into one of my discussions with someone else and insulting me out of the blue as if he knew me personally.

No I don't act like a jerk. Show me an instance where I've been a jerk to someone that was being nice to me.

[–] arvin g borkar (2854) 8 years ago

He is a troll. He use to come on all my threads and write how "stupid" they were. His real account name is Bennie; however, he/she keeps shapeshifting (nameshifting...lol) to other sock accounts. I am not sure why the individual has stayed on this one for so long though. You would think it would be better to keep making new usernames to cover his/her trail? Very weird troll.

[–] jriddle73 (412) 8 years ago

It's a good idea. I was going to suggest something like it a few days ago and got sidetracked.

[–] TexasJack (12516) 8 years ago

Did you happen to email Jim with this suggestion? I really think it's a winner.

[–] actionkamen (23176) 8 years ago

No, I guess he might have too many suggestions already. So, I'll just leave it here who knows he happens to read some General Discussions board.

[–] brux (14840) 8 years ago

Good idea, taking the home page one-step-beyond
