The last thread that I can see that was deleted was a political thread, however, the header at the top of the page clearly states: -
General Discussion: Talk about anything here...except politics.
This is the correct board: -

So what if it was about politics? General discussion seems dead. It should be revived. Politics should be allowed. It will result in lots of activity which means money for jim as more users come.

reply

Jim's site, Jim's rules.

reply

No no no. He wants his site to succeed, no?

reply

I don't know. I'm not Jim. Maybe he wanted it to be exactly like this? Who knows. You're not Jim either.

reply

Maybe he needs to redesign to make all boards active appear on top of the page.

reply

What you wanna let those crazy bastards from the politics board in here? are you nuts?
I think you'd be in a huge minority if there was a vote
Would it be too much trouble for you to go over there for your politics?
its not a lot of extra clicks is it?

reply

But it will show activity on the main which means it will attract more users here, which means it may turn into an imdb messageboard replacement.

reply

will it? I assumed users would arrive here from a google search which could land them anywhere on the site , i dont see it makes any difference.

reply

So if they come here from google search results. They see threads here posted with a large time difference between each post. They'll think the site is dead.

reply

You can only assume they'll look at the front page once theyve looked at wherever thay landedwhere they will see all the films recently posted on , and this: (but with post counts)

General Discussion
Talk about anything here...except politics.
Latest Posts
A round-up of the latest posts from all around the site.
Politics
All political discussion goes here.

And that right there accounts for all the posts. You couldnt get a clearer picture.
the "latest posts" bit will presumably do what you want and show you everthing in a big pile.

reply

Ok maybe you're right. What do you think of jim adding a database to this site? Maybe turn it into another imdb ?

reply

well , i just make do the link to imdb for each film if i want to go see a review of what people are talking about . no point duplicating the imdb really.
It'd be nice if imdb put a link to the relevent mc page , but i cant see that happening.

reply

i meant if jim wanted to compete with imdb means more money for him.

reply

Too late , IMDB has cemented its place as *the* defacto movie database since the 90s.
thats not gonna change

I guess you're right. Some businesses fail eventually though.

Marvel is bankrupt?! oh happy day.
I suspect that "Marvel Entertainment" is only one head of the multi-headed superhero spewing shitstorm Hydra that is Marvel.

reply

i have no clue. marvel seems to be profiting a bit too much. i would rather see dc entertainment movies make 2 billion each released. dc fan here.

reply

GD posts and responses blows Politics completely out of the water.
You have no argument.

reply

Yes however activity is slow here.

reply

Yes exactly.

reply

Its picking up!

reply

Man, are you really this bored? A hobby might help.

reply

I have like 100 books i wanna read more. If i could i would buy 10,000 books however right now i am tired of reading books instead i prefer music and movies thats why i am here.

reply

i'd rather have a less active sight with a gd board not polluted with politics.

i'm not the final authority on such matters, but i'm all for keeping politics out of here.

there's a board for it, so take it there.

reply

I guess you're right.

reply

Agreed.

reply

Them's the rules - comply, get banned or leave - up to you.

reply

Get banned for discussing politics?

reply

There is a Politics Board where you can discuss politics to your heart's content, but not here (as the rules clearly state), however, if you wish to flagrantly flaunt the rules, then be my guest.

reply

Ok i was trying to help this site.

reply

And that's brilliant! The best way to help is to post lots of interesting stuff on this board, contribute on the individual film boards and if you feel really brave, check out Politics.

Good luck!

reply

Thanks!

reply

But you’re not helping.

reply

I made this thread by mistake. I apologize. Can i delete it?

reply

Politics were banned from the general discussion board for a reason, because political threads create a toxic and acrimonious environment that ruins the board for everyone. Lots of users, myself included, complained about the effect that political threads were having here at the time, until the site responded by redirecting politics to the politics board, a good change. If you want to talk politics, go do it on the politics board, that's what it's there for.

And general discussion isn't dead at all, I don't know where you're getting that from. It looks pretty active to me.

reply

Thank you for the past history of GD. I had no clue. Sorry about this thread.

reply

Nuff said.

reply

reply

reply

Like how some times people sing and dance at les parties but Ramses does not dance at the party

reply

I actually do. I dance with slave girls. Impregnate them. Kill the firstborns.

reply

If you look at trending you'll see it's not as slow as you might think.
If you want to talk politics then I don't see the problem with going to the politics board. If no one is arguing there right now.... just wait.

Some people don't care about arguing and debating every detail of life.. as if life isn't more complex than that. Politics should be separate.

reply

"If you look at trending you'll see it's not as slow as you might think."

OH my bad. Thanks. I should bookmark the main page.
