Farewell I gladly bid to thee.


Thought i'd best write something to some of you folks before the hammer comes down and IMDB finally loses the plot.

Hopefully I won't miss anyone out, if I did and we interacted well (i.e. played nicely together!), then you were meant to be included.

Cornnetto - Simply a wealth of information, always with the figures close to hand, will be sorely missed. There are answers, and then there are Cornnetto answers, and nothing is more comprehensive than that!

Saxondale7 - I didn't much like Saxondale the TV series, Saxondale7 apparently didn't, but still adopted the name regardless..... madness!!! Decent conversation, decent amount of wit, and generally a pleasure to converse with.

TrevorAclea - We've had minor run in's in the past, but my respect for him is obvious to still be talking....... he was probably right in any case! Like Cornnetto, massive wealth of knowledge, and happy to impart to anyone who wants to listen, but seems to attract rather odd groupies, but thankfully, badgers are always on hand to dispense justice.

Fishbowl-Space-Helmet - Decent conversation pieces, interesting thread starters, which is what this IMDB message board lark should be about.

Ibrarules - Twin of Saxondale7? We'll probably never know, but similar breadth of knowledge and interesting conversation.

Plenty of others on other boards, but as our time here is short and they don't frequent this particular board, so the gesture will be somewhat wasted as some mindless drone hits the 'delete' key and makes my efforts redundant.

Would love to know where everyone will eventually drift toward, we've all got too much interest in this kind of topic to simply stop.

Thanks I will take the wealth of information compliment, but I suspect the comprehensive part is being polite.

I will be on box office theory, if you ever go there.

Thank you very much, Galahad. It was a pleasure speaking with you and others and I'm glad I could help make the place a bit more pleasant.

Skipping page long posts for over a year now.

That's really nice, thanks very much. You have been a pleasure to talk to, as well.

Not sure if I'd be Ibrarules' twin - I know I was accused of being a sock for Trevor at one point, but it's not a comparison that I would have thought of, and I think it would only serve to flatter me, since he is a lot more knowledgeable than I am (which applies both to Trev & ibra).

Good idea to ask where people are definitely heading. I can only speak for myself when I say that I'm likely going to draw a line under online discussion here. I started posting regularly on IMDb around 2009 (and not on this board until, I think, 2010 or 2011), which adequately covers most of my twenties. It would be nice to keep going, but it's nicely serendipitous that it would stop here.

Shut it, Love Actually! Do you want me to hole punch your face?

I know I was accused of being a sock for Trevor at one point

There was a time - roughly 2006-9 at its most virulent - when an earlier generation of trolls and sockpuppets were quite adamant that I was everybody on the board since it was completely impossible that more than one person could disagree with them. Though this was largely built around the notion that nobody wanted Daniel Craig to be 007, nobody thought Clive Owen was a particularly bad suggestion for 007 and that only one person in the entire world liked On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

Curious how so many of the more dedicated trolls are 007 obsessives...

Remember that time where one james bond fanboy went way overboard with his fantrolling where he can't fathom the idea that people dislike that sam smith song (spectre turned out to be mediocre by the way). Wasn't his name waterink?

I don't know where I'll end up: I'll probably just wait and see which sites survive first and maybe rely on other users recommendations down the line. Though if anyone keeps in touch, there's an email address for this idea I've been mulling over for some time in this thread:

I still haven't got a reply from you at the email address yet.

Oh I mean nothing by the claim, you both have a similar posting style, a jest, nothing more.

Im more than a little surprised there hasnt been a Wallfish thread dedicated to Trevor......I think its his due 
