I think there is an interest, but concerns about possibly inviting trolls into this space is a legitimate concern. 

Troll posts here are only a minor annoyance, but a few members of the IMDb "thought police" have grumbled that the archive is a "violation of terms" and have threatened to register complaints to IMDb admins.

I think the issue of imdb admins getting upset is one of the best reasons to continue to keep the archive quiet.  It would be such a huge shame to lose all of that amazing content.  So, I don't know if publicizing it is worth the risk.  That's just my opinion on this of course.

I have no idea of the possible (or not) legal complications, but my gut feeling says the same as Amanda's.
And when there are still troll problems over at IMDB, that's another reason to keep it quiet. We don't need more trolls here :P.

Just my 2 cents.

I referred this link to my new roomate today.  He said he saw the movie 4 times in the theatres.  (I didn't tell him how many times I've seen it.  Yet.  :D )

But I also took a wander through some of the discussion topics and threads.  Oh the memories.  And it's still so nice to see so many names from 3 and a half years ago that are still here with us today.  :)

I continue to say thank you to the folks who saved these threads, and for the folks who are keeping this geocities site live.  Please don't ever let us loose this....

Yep.  It sure is nice sometime to take a walk down memory lane and revisit old threads here and archived threads from imdb.

It never ceases to amaze me now longstanding the Brokie community is at this point.

Truly, it's been 4 f-in' years since the 2005 release.  Amazing.

I found this site a while ago and completely forgot to post it here.

I sure there is some redundancy, but I always love combing through old IMDB threads. Takes me back to the good old days when BBm was in the theaters. I enjoy being reminded of ideas and interpretations I may have forgotten about.

That really is cool about starboardlight's page! 

Retropian, if you search this member's posts, you'll find lots of interesting observations and ideas about BBM.  He was very active here in them early days of the website... and he still drops by from time to time, but not as regularly as before.

Yeah, I remember. There's not to much discussion about BBM themes and motif's anymore. Perhaps it's been wrung out, but I enjoy revisiting old threads and getting refreshed on ideas that I'd forgotten, or even better, hadn't encountered before.
