YOU WILL NEED A TIME MACHINE FOR SUGGESTIONS LIKE THAT...I'M PRETTY SURE THEY STOPPED TAKING THEM THREE YEARS AGO.

[–] TheyLiveWeSleep (192) 3 years ago

Oh why? Website is extremely outdated at the moment!!

reply

[–] Kowalski (63360) 3 years ago

AS IT WAS WHEN I FOUND IT...TWO YEARS AGO...IT'S BASIC BUT BEAUTIFUL IN IT'S SIMPLICITY.

reply

[–] TheyLiveWeSleep (192) 3 years ago

I'm glad the website exists for sure. It just needs some work to make it even better. Especially for a movie chat.

reply

[–] Kowalski (63360) 3 years ago

THEY WERE INTERESTED IN SAVING THE IMDB BOARDS AND ONCE THEY DID...THEY SEEM TO HAVE TAKEN A STEP BACK AS FAR AS ADVANCEMENTS.

[–] TheyLiveWeSleep (192) 3 years ago

Who do we have to talk to around here? Lol

I guess he's content with sitting back collecting the ad revenue in his sleep.

And once again, a poster that’s been here all of 5 minutes has a dig

reply

[–] TheyLiveWeSleep (192) 3 years ago

I won't apologize for saying what I think. It's not even a shot at the owner. It is what it is. It's a disappointment more than anything. It doesn't matter how long I've been here. My thoughts count just as much as yours. Why try and hold me down?

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (35006) 3 years ago

If you don’t like it here then find a site that’s more up to your expectations.

reply

[–] TheyLiveWeSleep (192) 3 years ago

That's not what this is about. I like the website. I think it could be even better. I don't know why my opinion is making you defensive.

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (35006) 3 years ago

Good luck tilting at windmills Don Quixote.

reply

[–] TheyLiveWeSleep (192) 3 years ago

What?

reply

[–] AnubisRaydeen (7897) 3 years ago

I think your posts would be better if there was a meme next to it.

reply

[–] ColumboKate (5367) 3 years ago

Completely agree. I love the simplicity of this site. Emojis are as advanced as it gets! Being able to post pictures all over the place would ruin it for me.

reply

[–] Valerian (10522) 3 years ago

User icons like in imdb boards would be nice too.

reply

[–] huwdj (4563) 3 years ago

I think not personally. I prefer a text based approach and can't see the point of feeds that are just a stream of pics.

reply

[–] Kowalski (63360) 3 years ago

YEAH...THE STREAM OF PICS AND VIDS SITES ARE RIDICULOUS.

reply

[–] TheyLiveWeSleep (192) 3 years ago

I was thinking of stuff like posting video clips of trailers, scenes, etc. Or anything(you know what I mean). I know you can technically paste a link but it's better to watch on the site so you don't have to click out of the forum. Pictures...gifs...avatars. it's easier to remember certain people by avatars than by names.

Everyone has a preference but these suggestions would improve the function of the website a bit and make it more active in my opinion. Shrugs.

reply

[–] R_Kane (15828) 3 years ago

Never, ever, going to happen. This is it. Period.

reply

[–] TheyLiveWeSleep (192) 3 years ago

Never going to happen or you don't want it to happen? If it's never going to happen, why not?

reply

[–] jriley555 (7215) 3 years ago

i like it just the way it is. you can link to all those things. it keeps the threads nice & condensed, focused upon the textual content rather than cartoon wars.

reply

[–] TheyLiveWeSleep (192) 3 years ago

Why would it be cartoon wars? What does that even mean? Videos/gifs/pictures would not improve the functionality and activity of a movie chat website?

reply

[–] jriley555 (7215) 3 years ago

it means you have to scroll past memes, gifs, jpgs to find what is being said.

isn't that pretty obvious ? a link, imo, suffices. anyone interested can click/expand to their heart's content.

we don't have to litter our convo with images to make our points - again, the links can serve our purpose.

this is a question of taste. i prefer the low clutter. you may prefer the flash-bang. i don't fault you.

reply

[–] TheyLiveWeSleep (192) 3 years ago

We will just have to agree to disagree.

reply

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

Nah, we're good.

reply

[–] TheyLiveWeSleep (192) 3 years ago

No you and some others are good. There's other people who agree with me. You can't group the whole website with your opinion. Doesn't work that way.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (52903) 3 years ago

What LauraGrace says, goes. We adhere to the rules of Laura here.

reply

[–] TheyLiveWeSleep (192) 3 years ago

Is she staff of the website?

reply

[–] samoanjoes (52903) 3 years ago

She's a moviechat legend. The elders of the internet confirmed her legendary status.

reply

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

Are you wanting to 'borrow' money again?

reply

[–] samoanjoes (52903) 3 years ago

What do you mean "borrow"? I paid you back. It was Monopoly money, but I paid it the equivalent worth.

reply

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

It doesn't matter what any of us think. This is not a democracy.

Sorry my wording wasn't more precise. Here you go:

I like moviechat the way it is.

Jeepers, everyone is so argumentative today.

[–] AndyKing1967 (35006) 3 years ago

I see Mr ‘under 20 posts’ wants to change the world, lol.

reply

[–] TheyLiveWeSleep (192) 3 years ago

My post count is irrelevant.

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (35006) 3 years ago

You are irrelevant.

reply

[–] TheyLiveWeSleep (192) 3 years ago

If you say so...

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (35006) 3 years ago

You could always create your own site with all the bangs and crashes you want.

reply

[–] TheyLiveWeSleep (192) 3 years ago

Bro are you alright?

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (35006) 3 years ago

Ok, imagine this is a bar with lots of long time regulars and it plays the music we like to listen to and it serves the beer we like to drink. All of a sudden, someone comes in for the first time and, before they’ve even ordered a beer, starts criticising the place and saying how much better it would be if it was just the way they wanted it.

How do you think the locals would react?

reply

[–] Kowalski (63360) 3 years ago

IT COULD BE BETTER...IF YOU WERE IN A BIKINI.🙂

[–] AndyKing1967 (35006) 3 years ago

reply

[–] TheyLiveWeSleep (192) 3 years ago

So you are old and stuck in your ways? Lol. So that's what this is about. Sorry old timer. This wasn't meant to offend you. You can relax because it appears this website won't evolve anytime soon according to what I read in the beginning.

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (35006) 3 years ago

Why don’t you just get a beer and settle down. Talk movies, talk sport, talk whatever you like…..except Politics (there’s a separate board for that).

reply

[–] AnubisRaydeen (7897) 3 years ago

Don't want things the way I want them? You must be old.

reply

[–] Kowalski (63360) 3 years ago

ON THIS POINT I SERIOUSLY DISAGREE...HAVE YOU SEEN MY POST COUNT?...AND I AM OBVOUSLY THE MAN...SO...YEAH,POST COUNT IS RELEVANT.😎

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (35006) 3 years ago

🙏

reply

[–] TheyLiveWeSleep (192) 3 years ago

Either way....you are alright by me.

reply

[–] sslssg (30076) 3 years ago

I agree with those who say that we don't need them. There are other boards which have them, and I don't think that they contribute to intelligent, thoughtful conversation. We honestly have enough trolls here without having to contend with gif or video spamming on posts.

reply

[–] Valerian (10522) 3 years ago

Some message boards have the option to show inline pictures and embedded videos as links. Those who don't like pictures and videos can hide them.

reply

[–] TheyLiveWeSleep (192) 3 years ago

Well there we have it folks. Everyone wins.

reply

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

i would like timestamps.

[–] Valerian (10522) 3 years ago

Me too.

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

it's no fun scrolling through page after page of screencaps and gifs. i have been on some sites where they have banned gifs.
