bond_fan/netgeek's Bond audition video was something. He argued that he was more classically handsome than Craig, despite his receding hairline. His delivery of "Bond, James Bond" made Brosnan's delivery sound masculine.

Anyone else remember the loon who posted a grammatically nonsensical essay in which he insisted that James Bond was not a fictional character at all (it's all a conspiracy apparently), but in fact a US Navy mission? Sadly, that was his first and last post on MI6 as he was subsequently banned. Had I known MI6 was going down, I would have saved a copy of that masterpiece.

After suggesting that Roger Moore still be Bond, I have found many so-called ''fans'' very resentful of the idea, mostly on substandard forums that don't really understand how the Bond franchise has greatly diminished since 1985.
My proposal is that Eon should re-instate Sir Rog and re-make EVERY Bond film since 1985 and they should be offerring him a golden-handscuff deal to make these movies once a year so that fans don't have to wait ages just to see yet another idiotic, special-effects driven load of rubbish delivered by sub standard actors.
Moore may be 83, but he has always looked young for his age and could pull it off still! He was older than Connery was when Connery retired, and still looked no older than 30!
Three facts about Moore's Bond:
1) He had the most charisma 2) He had the best villians EVER. Nic Nac, Jaws and Scaramanga totally defeat the likes of Blofeld (any interpretation, even Telly's), Red Grant and Largo. 3) Sir Rog still has the capability to make women swoon, as proof see this advert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o4IDZtj5WA
Yes, there can be no doubt: Roger Moore should still be Bond and it is disgraceful he ever left the role. Real fans should petition Eon to hire him once more so we can enjoy Bond films again. Any assertions to the contrary are frogwash as far as I am concerned.

Of course, I didn'twant to befriend you, and only said as such because I didn't want a dictator like you locking my threads from the get-go. Predictably, you were too pig-ignorant to even reply, but at least I managed to get a few good days of strong, solid discussion with many of the members at mi6forums who were actually pretty darn pleased to have me back! Even those who previously disliked me realised that, once I had left, the place had reverted back to the boring cesspit it has now once again become.
The problem with you is this: you offer absoutely ZERO quality to any of your posts, your opinions are worthless and you will never kick-start interesting discussion nor do you properly contribute when one arises.
You may have some ''power'' as an autocratic mod over at that forum, but your natural skills (debate, intellect, logic) are inferior. And you are a prime example of why moderators are NEVER needed in ANY fan forum. Only a single part-time admin is needed, to clean up blatant spam and copyrighted materials. That is all.

Domanator was great. As I recall, he claimed to be a Marine sniper and threatened to assassinate the President with one of his many firearms.
Not that I support Obamacide, but it was still fun watching a semi-literate kid rile people up.

Damn, that would be awesome. I'd have Scashy over here in a heartbeat, nothing wrong with a bit of fun and some strong Bond opinions to keep the place ticking over. I had no problems with him, though thats's largely because I loved Roger Moore myself and very nearly agree with Scashy that Bond, with the small exception of Dalton's tenure, has been pretty sh**e since 1985.

There are many good fight scenes in Bond (that is, Bond films made between 1973-1985), but this has to be the finest:
I can watch that scene over-and-over and never get bored. I wonder, what scenes are favourites of everyone else here? I doubt any could be as good as the above! That scene had a good amount of suspense and I was literally shocked the first time I saw it. Nick Nack reminds me of the Chucky character from the Child's Play films, and was one of the most underrated villians of all time!

Seriously, Bond23 will be a let down. Just another pointless action flick with no sense of drama or realism.
The only decent Bond films were filmed between 1972-1985. That era alone should set the benchmark for future films. There is no point even watching Bond23 UNLESS the crew start using the old methods of filming and bring back Roger Moore, Christopher Lee and Richard Kiel (at the bare minimum!).
Bond23 is going to be terrible. Yes, going by the poor excuses that have passed for Bond films after 1985, this is a certainty. Ian Fleming (I am certain of this) would have been appalled to see his franchise treated with such flippancy.
I am also confident he would have been disgusted at so-called ''fans'' who lap up these poor excuses of films and rate them highly on renowned websites like imdb, amazon etc. Unless Eon go back to basics, Bond will be seen a pathetic franchise in the minds of REAL fans!

Now listen up: Sir Rog was the only actor worthy of playing Bond and I have explained why elsewhere. Bond23 NEEDS to re-instate Moore as he is still alive and well and is clearly able to pull off another round or two (perhaps more!) as made clear via his recent post office ad.
Care to actually debate the issue or will you be hiding behind your totalitarian ''chief of staff'' status and lock the thread?
Your move.

The concept of moderators (not just on this forum, but in principle) is lost on me (and I'm assuming most others who tend to follow Libertarian values).
A moderator should not exist. A webmaster (Administrator) should. BUT, their role should be to create a site for fans (of whatever genre) to enjoy/debate/discuss/argue even, but they should remain silent on all topics and ideally only log in once a month just to make sure endless spam posts of ''buy Viagra'' are deleted.
The problem with mods who like to throw their weight around is that they will always let their personal feelings get in the way of debate rather than do what they should do: stay neutral/silent and ONLY delete spam. But, because they cannot be even trusted to do that, they should be stripped of their status and be on the same platform as everyone else. I am confident that most people are put off by moderated forums, as it severely restricts what the web SHOULD be about: the free exchange of ideas and to debate without censorship (or the lingering threat of it).
Now moderators (and you're not going to like this) are only confident in debate not because of any intellectual capacity, but because they hold unfair advantages of thread locking/banning and other totalitarian practices that stink of fascism.
I do not care if I am unpopular for this belief, but let us see how many fascists and how many free minds actually linger on this forum.
So, the question is: are moderators even needed? My answer is a certified NO.

Everyone on his forum should be ashamed they have not united to petition Eon with hundreds of signatures DEMANDING Eon re-make every Bond film that Moore was not involved with, and to re-instate him immediately. That way, we get all of Fleming's works delivered with the finest Bond of all. Plus, bringing back legends like Lee and Jaws would also be of use, as well as reverting back to the old style of Bond filming: more realism, less CGI.
