I might repeat this later, but what's with the Fark thing under the Xixax logo? Fark is not the best place to recruit, I thought the new movement was against clique-ness.
Title: I found this place...
Post by: Xixax on January 22, 2003, 09:26:41 PM
Huh? I LOVE Fark (http://fark.com)!

I bought a classified ad on Fark today. It'll run for a week.

Just cross-pollination... Not sure about the whole clique thing.

After 1/2 day, we've had 8 click throughs and 0 signups. Not the best numbers, but who knows.

Post by: Xixax on February 18, 2003, 07:35:02 AM
I'm game.

I think the most effective thing we can do with no budget is for people to post plugs on the other boards they frequent.
Title: I found this place...
Post by: Duck Sauce on February 18, 2003, 11:41:56 AM
Or maybe get plugs on movie news/DVD websites, I know some of you have connections.

Post by: Jeremy Blackman on February 18, 2003, 11:48:04 AM
Here's the problem, though... let's face it, the only reason that so many people found the first message board is because it was a Paul Thomas Anderson message board. I don't see how promoting through director-specific sites like c & c could not be effective, but how realistic is it that we'll show up on search engines if we're not specific? And how specific would we need to be?
Title: I found this place...
Post by: Xixax on February 18, 2003, 12:12:30 PM
Sure. The Xixax awards have already gotten us some press on Greg's board, and we've seen several new users from it.

Likewise, if directors are honored with a nomination or an award, maybe they will post that news as well.

My only problem is that I'm not a member of any of these board. We need something like a little "press release" that we can e-mail to the keepers of these director's web sites.

How do you go about getting on IMDB where you click a movie and you see where it has been nominated...?

I few months back someone posted this board on the imdb message board. I looked it over and forgot about it.

Then, a week ago, someone posted about the PDL DVD on The Home Theater Forum, and mentioned this site. I checked it out again and joined this time. :(

Hi there.  New here.  Saw this place mentioned either at an IMDB forum, or from the ptanderson.com page - I think it was the latter, actually, because I was looking for info on PTA's new projects, and came across the link to the Couch thread.  So yeah, these forums are a breath of fresh air.  So great to find intelligent people who enjoy films and filmmaking as much as I do.  :)

Hmm.
I found this place.
How?
Well, you see
One Day
In 1975
Our regular announcer,
Johnny Olson
Went down with a case of the sneezes
And Bern Bennett subbed in
for one week
and one week only
on the friday, that was to be his last day
he said to me:
will it all not be great gene?
and i said: what is that bern
he said: in 28 some odd years many of these cats will sit and pray to their think boxes, nattering over the moving pictures?
and i looked at him, sort of cross:
'think boxes, you say?'
'yes, gene, think boxes...they will be run by horrible people and talk to you while you sleep'
well, i had poor ol' bern commited.

and that was the last time i drank ginger ale before a taping of the show.
