Making a pledge to help improve this board


I love this board, and I think we all agree that all other sub-forums in this site (including the individual movie and celebrity boards, and all other forums in the main board aside from General Discussion) need more posts. I was wondering if those who want to promote this board would make a pledge to make a certain number of posts on all boards except this one, for at any interval you feel comfortable with.

My pledge is:

"I pledge to make at least two posts on any non-General Discussion form, at least one of which will be a new thread, for the next 30 days"

Of course, these pledges are not binding. No one is going to check if you followed these pledges or not. You could feel free to make a commitment for any interval (daily, b-weekly, weekly, monthly) for any span of time that you feel comfortable with. You could also make a pledge to promote this site on social media or whatever other platform.

Such a pledge would just be meant to guide you in the right direction, and of course need not be strictly enforced by you. If you do fulfill your pledge (or come close) do post here if you want!

This may be a minor thing, but since we can also comment on specific TV episodes, I would recommend anyone posting their impressions on the dedicated television board for your show (like Three's Company, Big Bang Theory, Walking Dead), also copy & paste your thoughts/questions on the other board for that specific episode.

The likelihood of someone finding it is low right now, but you never know. In the future, someone watches an episode of Star Trek and falls in love with a certain episode. They search on Google, and a convenient MovieChat link comes up, with full discussion for THAT very episode. Dedicated page and everything. Someone from the future will appreciate you and other fans giving their thoughts on that episode. We have links to all episodes right now on MovieChat. They can go to the main Star Trek page, or the episode page, or both!

I don't see it as spamming as they are all empty right now and designed for discussion anyways. IMDB never had this feature. It's like a new door opening in the hallway. Any time you discussed Star Trek or Three's Company before, you could only do it on the main page. For some shows, things move fast, and sometimes asking a question for an old Season 2 episode may not get answered either (as it falls to the bottom from traffic).

To illustrate what I'm talking about, here's:

The regular The Walking Dead page

And here's a MovieChat page for a specific episode that recently aired:

"Bury Me Here" episode page

MovieChat now lets us comment on specific episodes (to wind up my long-winded post). 😉
