littledarlin--LOVE your tagline! "we can hug on novermber caress and nice oak"---Anyone else notice it? Like a little kid trying to sing the Star Spangled Banner (not sure why, anymore...the SSB...)

You know what I loved?  Last night (when this place was a ghost town cause all you guys were still snoozing) I jumped on here and scrolled back through some of my favourite threads from IMDb, you know, before it fell under an Anarchist regime.

I loved reading back through my all-time FAVOURITE thread - "What Nuance of Cowboy Etiquette Did You Learn From This Film?" and now that I "know" everybody, i read what everybody volunteered back then and it cracked me up in a whole new way.

I have that thread saved into a Word file on my desktop, only I deleted out who wrote what and just kept the etiquette tips.  Ellemeno, you're my hero - I totally forgot that you contributed most of the ones that made me laugh till I had tears..

Was a wonderful little trip I assure you..  ;D
Chut up!

OK kids - most folks have seen this and bookmarked it with their favorites, and we're not getting much conversation on this thread, so I'm going to unsticky.

If anyone wants it re-stickied for important updates...just let one of the moderators know.

Thanks so much again to Andrew & Jenny and everyone who worked so hard to create this masterpiece.

I may have missed this - but are we saving any of the threads from here (or is it even necessary?)  Love the Brokeback Slang, for one.

Wow, I knew there was a reason to go through all the thank yous!  I adore that thread too, along with the emoticons one (Rebus Delight).   I love the Brokback slang we've started here too.

LJ, who knows - it porbably couldn't hurt to archive what you love.  Phillip says he plans to keep it all, but you never know what could happen.

the idea of archiving threads from here hasn't come up, and doubt it will, we still have tons we're working on and about 100 or so more threads to add from the imdb boards.  i'd say save your favorites to your hard drive just in case, but i honestly don't see a threat in anything being lost from bettermost.  which is why we love it here so much :)
We can hug on November, caress and nice oak.

Wow!  100!  That's impressive.  :o  Yeah, the last several times I've checked the archives it's been "under construction."

Happy days.

This is significant.  I think this is the first time I've ever bumped anything over on BetterMost.  Awww.... nostalgia for the old board.

Anyway, I'm curious to hear how this project is going?
cheers!

Well, thanks for asking Amanda (and by the way has everyone wished Amanda a very happy birthday?! I missed it last week--but I'll say it again now in public--Happy Birthday Amanda! Have a the ride of your life!


So, the project is going well, but slow. Maybe this weekend me and Andrew will get to do some more archive organizing. That is the point we are at now. And he still has several, many? threads to post on there. Then when I am done with a couple of other pressing projects, my thing will be to take a few more of the best threads I saved in Word on the old PT board, and re-post them on IMDb again in a re-formatted way so it's easier to read than just black type on grey, (i.e. add in the bolded and italicized things, and "blue" everyone's name so it's easier to follow the thread) and then we'll repost that re-posted and re-formatted version in the archive, since we can't directly post the word document.

I think the organization of it all is going to be awesome. I'd say it'll be about two or three weeks before it's really ready.
