I gotta say that it does seem funny to me that in this new forum, the most popular topic is the one against the forum.

Rob, I think the biggest argument is against the location of the forum, and not the forum itself. I myself would prefer if the forums would rotate to different locations automatically. [thumbsup]

Maybe the POST REPLY button should be replaced with an I'M FEELING LUCKY button, like Google has. You hit that button, and your post goes into a random forum, and if it's the wrong one, you get banned.

15/70 isn't large, it's LARGE. Get it?

That much is obvious. Why the text must visually represent that is what isn't clear. Just seems gimmicky as though if there ever was a 16mm forum it would need to have its name in a tiny font. The real downside is that it draws the eye in a way that makes it seem like the forum is more important. Not a hallmark of good design. Bobby?

Better make sure not to use Arial either.

Film Handler's Forum would probably look good in Trajan. [Razz]

I think if I had the power to initiate a new forum and it went 12 days without any posts except those about the forum you'd have pulled the plug on my little venture by now! [evil]

I guess it is because in the large format world things tend to just run along with out all the issues many other formats have

There aren't nearly as many screens in the large format world either. Math is math. Still, this is a film/presentation based website and both "film forums" shall remain at the top.

Why can't everyone just stop whining??? Geez. [Roll Eyes]

I say we push Ground Level down or just delete it altogether (along with everybody's posts). Nobody cares about floorstaff or managers anyway. They're not even real people! They just get in the way when you are trying to extort them.

Damn I can't wait until next April Fool's. I have some great ideas for this forum. What date does April 1st fall on again? Oh it doesn't matter. [Big Grin]

Joe, if you get rid of Ground Level, where will KD post his amazing film gross predictions. Oh yeah, thats right, he can still put them in the joke forum. [Big Grin]
