Once was a part of the nice community, but the site died when the owner unexpectedly passed away. He was brilliant, but had made no provision for the site to be maintained in his absence.
Mods, I hope you put this question to Jim, and such provisions are made, for obvious reasons.
whistleblower
shareThe Lord Jim giveth and the Lord Jim taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord Jim.
bump for the mods.
shareYou obviously know everything at 4000 posts. This is one time when I say Everything is Fine, and I mean it.
shareBuzz off. Its a legitimate question courteously posed, with good reason and experience with a site that came down upon the death of the creator. Shit happens. If you have actual information on the matter, let's hear it, mr. 19000 posts and change.
I'd say you were a crazy, but I think that is obvious.
shareWhy in the f are you attacking me for asking a reasonable question ? If anyone is coming off poorly here, it is you.
I've given the reason for my concern, its not hard to understand.
People around here know me, sport, and know that I am a reasonable man.
Wait, who died?
shareNo one. But when any site is run by a single person, the question of its ability to survive its creator's incapacity becomes an issue. We're not immortal.
If you read the OP, you will understand the reason for my concern. I CARE about this site, its continuity.
I read it 4 times and still don't comprehend it.
" I CARE about this site, its continuity."
Then maybe post less π©
Your incomprehension is not my problem, but I'll put it this way : If Jim hasn't given anyone else access to the website and goes off-line permanently, and the lease expires, the site shuts down.
shareYour problem is your nonsensical OP
You do realize there is a mod or two here? Someone has access. Also nothing lasts forever.
In fairness I do get what you are saying after I fixed your grammatical errors.
Maybe some people simply don't understand how websites work, how intrinsically -personal- they are, unless some provision of sharing access & maintenance is made.
This thread exists merely to stimulate the mods to establish a chain-of-custody for the site with the owner - its a commitment the community has a right to expect.
I'm not going to respond to further snarky comments. If you don't get it, you don't get it.

Sure we do. We are a community. We contribute to this site, make it worth coming to. Try not to think of this as a strictly proprietary relation. Communities rely upon trust - one aspect of that is that the community is being looked after and won't blink out of existence if one guy does. Its common sense.
shareYou care way too much for something the owner himself has abandoned.

Jim has not abandoned MovieChat. True, it's been a minute since any new features have been added, but he is still around and responds to urgent matters promptly.
shareThanks. Please communicate the concern expressed, if you would. I'm sure he would understand, as I hope you and the other mods, as well.
shareThat's good to know. Thanks for the info.
