It seems like Sphinx left along with the life of this board. What happened?

yeah, i have to agree with cecil. this place really has its ups and downs and its sertanly not an up period right now but at least it's better than that 'i-hate-my-friends-and-normal-people-are-so-fuckin-stupid' era.

but anyway, the artist formerly known as butterscotch jones will be back sometime and every thing will be better.

JB doesn't speak for everyone so don't refer to everyone when ur crying Trem.

anyway, it's not sphinx, he wasn't that active anyway.. yes it's probably more AlguienEstolami, and not only the lack of good posters but the increase of mediocre members. i mean, i warned u fuckos that the list and poll thing would only kill this place. and looky what's happened.

there's just not enuff wit and/or originality. and there was at one point,. i would say whatever the essence of this board was, it's almost dead now.

i commend duck sauce and cecil and other ppl who would in previous years be to blame for such a deadening, but they're really good peops now for the most part, and even mesh and markums2k are good when they stop hating everything. good taste and personality is what's lacking. and if it's here it has been allowed to suffocate under lame meaningless boring shit. i can say i've done my best to keep that from happening.

anyway, this isn't the first or worst slump, it'll pick up when ppl (eg. me, mbk) are less busy.

u also got to remember that its summer, and ppl r usually busy traveling or working or attending fiestas. i think during the fall, what with all the much anticipated movies coming out, the board will pick up for the better. my favorite time around here if i remember correctly is the fall/winter, especially the christmas.

Yeah, well, I filled MacGuffin's "Movie Titles That Describe You" thread with what I thought was a bunch of funny, witty stuff that played around with his original idea.  He took it personally and apparently deleted all my posts in the thread.....

And therein lies the problem.  Have a fucking sense of humor about what you do and say here and we'll all be just fine.

Thanks......and I don't hate everything. I am pretty goddamn critical, though.  That's cool, right?

I know you all will probly just think i'm some newbie...and i am on this board anyway.

but i've been hangin' around a couple of boards for a few years now
and there all startin to go down hill..

personally i blame the rise of the "Instant Messager" servises...
no (new) witty ppl visit bb's anymore..it's sad but true..

to be completly honest i only signed up on this board coz i'm
lookin' for a particular scathing tounged lad that gose by the
handle "Pubrick" or "Pube", as he's vanished from my usuall board
and it's goten fairly dull without his unique style of abuse...

but as i cant find his handle in the list i'll assume it's different here..

so pubes.....if you read this get your ass back to sony and dish out some shit.

I can't help but feel responsible. Things have never been the same since the demise of the C&C boards. My apologies to all... Especially me... As in I and he.

I love these message boards because they're a great place to go to when I feel like talking about movies, which is all the time. I think all the crappy posts and lists and polls will slide down the drain, and the good ones keep rising back to the surface. There may be a surplus of crap from time to time, but that's just because some people must be feeling bored. I don't think anything's any worse off than before...just a bit of a lull at the moment. Wait till October, if you must, but things will be hoppin' again soon.

So basically, let's not bitch about it, because this site is still the best thing all of us film geeks have going for us online (as far as conversating goes)!

If this place is nothing compared to how it used to be, i'm scared to find out how it used to be!!! for my part, i try to insert wit when i can... sometimes throwing in one liners or references to references... but that's just the woody allen in me. i can't write long witty posts... its like pulling teeth.

has anyone considered having a group meeting (or maybe meeting(s)? I know some people live in L.A., some in Canada, some in god knows where else... i don't know... maybe i'm off base here... i used to belong to a BBS back in the day, and every sunday they'd meet at a Denny's and get piss drunk... I was 18 or 19 and just watch them, then go back home, go online, and be like "yeah, so and so is still at Denny's consuming his liver"...

I just went there, and feel like a nerd -- geek -- for reading it.  All those people getting defensive "i'm less of a nerd, more of a..."  It was pretty funny.  

But then it made me realize the nerdoisty in my own self.

u dew realize your suggestion to remedy this debacle was a latently homo erotic master piece

you may think you know regular karate but...

a) he jus said pubes, sack, weener, and bun in regards to what to bring to sum party
2) he also jus made a covert suggestion to toss sum salad (whip up some coleslaw)
c) the whole post was prefaced with the statement "we need a fuckin' party"

is it jus me (me) or whut?

Yeah... well the tone was under until you brought it over.

I mean to say, it was intended... the weeners and the buns.  (not the Pubes though, The bee flies pretty straight as far as I know)

besides things might be better here if people were more gay and less ghey (don't take that the wrong whey)
