I hate this. I know why some of you want to do it, but it really isn't the way to go, IM(Not-so)HO.

Promo taster advert style I see nothing wrong with it.

edit the best bits into a slam-bang thrill-ride and intone the cliffhanger in a very deep voice

It was a time of war, and only one board could save the world......

sorry girolamo. i only did it once and i've never seen anyone else doing it. i ws going to start a lars von trier: c / d, s / d thread bt thought it maybe more useful to 'port' the ILF thread as a plinth. no-one seemed to be reading ILF when i went looking.

bt yeh why didn't an 'ILF' link be added to the top of the page, it would be totally useful.

― athos magnani (Cozen), Thursday, 13 November 2003 19:33 (twenty-two years ago)

if ilf added so must ilb

I would also like to take this opportunity to ask people what they think ILF's place
is, if it has any at all. It was kind of started with the intention that we would also talk
filmmaking in order to attract a wider variety of people than simply those who
read/post to the film threads on ILE, but it didn't really turn out this way. Tom Ewing
(quite rightly) pointed out that there are very few threads on here that would be out
of place on ILE, or that deserve to be an on external board. So, do we carry on
regardless? If so, what can we do to distinguish this board? Or do we just pack it all
in and go back to ILE where there is likely to be more interest/response? All of the
regular posters here make a major contribution to most film threads on ILE, anyway.
I realize that it is an organic entity, and we can't *make* it be anything it doesn't
want to be, but I am curious...

I won't start ranting about it, but my opinion remains unchanged - I am against it, and against trying to encourage it into becoming a third major board.

I don't think you have to worry about that martin

this reminds me alot of the current bcs debate

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 13 November 2003 21:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think there is any danger of it being a third "major" board, and I don't think the traffic it gets would warrant such a promotion, anyway. for what it's worth...

that would be a quadrupble-blount-salkow.

Regardless of it being a third major board or not, I find it laughable to deny that the double-posting on both ILF and ILE is extremely counterproductive to ILF. It's bad enough that we don't get the kind of crowd we should, but then by posting an ILF thread again on ILE, it actually is more like a stab in the back. It negates the thread, and thereby the board by proxy.
