A GREAT SADNESS the Classical Allusions thread has been deleted from IMDB Board

<< < (4/6) > >>

vkm91941:
I do encourage you all to go out onto the Better Most boards and explore the other forums, introduce yourselves and  make new friends.  They're not exactly newbies but they are new to us.  Who knows what kind of lovely posts you all may stumble upon

Front-Ranger:
That is just criminal but surely we have it archived. That is one thread that needs to be published!

Casey,
Your thread brought me in.

As Clive said to Maurice (and Ennis said to Jack), "I would have gone through life half-awake if you'd had the decency to leave me alone."

--- Quote from: mlewisusc on April 05, 2006, 02:29:28 am ---This points out to me the one problem with our little hidden "Shangri-La" here at Bettermost.net - an absence of new blood, uninvited, to add to the wonder and admiration of film and story.  For those of us who often or occasionally (me) go back to the "regular" BBM board, the ongoing troll situation there means there's really no chance of discovering "new" devotees who could add new insights, at least at this point.  I do have the feeling that the DVD will present a new opportunity for other folks to be exposed to the film and they will want to meet in cyberspace and talk about it, because their families and friends won't understand, and they'll be desperate to be anywhere other than Lightning Flat . . . oops, got carried away, for a moment . . . so I applaud Casey and anyone else who is willing to go back and keep posting the threads which can help the "next" generation of BBM lovers understand their situation.  I am very interested to see if on DVD the same sort of "getting under your skin" will happen as happened to so many of us . . .

I have sort of stopped promoting BetterMost all over the place in part to try and keep the trolls from being attracted over here, so I am sort of counting on the users here to perhaps watch for the committed new devotees and PM them about this place.  Eventually I'll resume publicity, but probably not on IMDb as much.  I have the conflict of trying to grow the site and not put a spotlight on it for trolls, so I have to count on users to help out on IMDb.

roux, starboardlight, ellemeno and the whole gang:

I've taken starboardlight's advice and reposted the original Classical Illusions topic on the IMDB board.
It's time for the 'new generation' of those excited by the film approaching the IMDB board for the first time to know that there is the possibility of rewarding approaches to the film other than the trollish and insulting thrash which seems to be half of that board right now.  I still have nostalgic feelings for the time when all of us were excited and contributed insightful replies to each other's posts.
If it garners some new insights and replies from the newcomers to that site, perhaps we can use  their replies as an indication of whether they could be invited here to Bettermost.
