For this new place I think I might just make a new video with more clips. I missed a lot actually.

Also -- while I know most people didn't give a damn, I know for a fact that I put hours of time and effort into the photomontages in the Trek thread, and most of them were pretty damned funny. So that make's me sad. And, as Tux sad, the sequencing charts and so on. Stuff that was really, really, the work of true fans that is gone forever.

Indeed. Those montages were gold. I always loved coming back home from work or school to have major laughs when they were booming back then. I genuinely laughed at plenty of them. Like Tux said, EON should hire us to give the films some wit.

Has anyone mentioned bond_fan?

Those photoshopped images of the sun reflecting off his scalp...genius.

If someone could contact MRJAMESBOND that would be great... It did that random tournament. I had him on msn... his name was Sean..... I'm only outing him to remind you of who he was because I thought he was quality.

Why anyone would stick around a forum with such an unintuitive, god-awful layout like that is beyond me. Comparing it to Facebook is an insult to Facebook, and I F***ING hate Facebook.

Agreed Wade. Even something as simple as the font looks awful and cheap. All the posts just blur into one to me, and the quotes system is terrible, making the quotes look like part of your own text. I can't for the life of me understand how IMO they've failed to improve on a set-up that was 9 years old.

The terrible thing is, the old setup really didn't need to be improved. It was fine the way it was, broken search button and all.

We had kyvan, we didn't need a search function.

Yep. I loved the old layout. It was simple, clean, and above all else, user-friendly. The new one is just a clusterfuck at best.

Any fans of MAD MEN, cuz this is what I feel like.

Don't get me wrong, having a search function that works was a great idea. I'm glad MI6 at least included that. The only problem is...well...uh....there is nothing to search for anymore. Everything is gone!

Besides a search function isn't going to work in that crap formatting.

:oops: I couldn't and still can't find the search button on that site. Not going to bother either... Can't get to the end of a thread and some are getting longer now.

I've watched a few episodes and I can see where you coming from with that.

Thankfully I saved my epic TWINE review. Actually the one on MI6 wasn't even completed (I think I stopped after Bond broke into Elektra's villa and started acting like an ass). I managed to finish it on different forum awhile back.

Still, so much gold in the Trek thread.

Damn it, I wish I could have saved mine. I think it got a "Best review ever" or something quote from Tux as well. A frickin' epic rant in which I took the whole film apart piece by sorry piece, no holds barred. I remember that took me bloody ages to write. And it's gone.

Yep. While I'm not even the slightest fan of NuTrek, the work that went into some of that comedy gold had me in absolute stitches.

I was just thinking about my "Jill St. John Mafia Connections" thread and how much time I spent typing out the quotes from an article that was not online. No easy copy-and=past job, there. Didn't generate a ton of interest, but I did spend a lot of time on it :|

I kinda like my recent TND review, too.....I was liking those Bondathons.

I never posted in those MI6 Bondathons. Which is ironic, because the whole reason I started doing reviews was because of the idea that they ONE DAY might be on the main site. But once they started those, I was frankly working through the entire series (novel, then movie) at my own (slow) pace, reviewing them, and I not only didn't want to be rushed -- but they did them in RANDOM order, which is a huge pet peeve of my for Bond (kept me from buying the UE box sets, I bought the individual releases of the ten I like once they were out).

What was I talking about? Oh right, my reviews. Well, saving them was my top priority when the Archive was put up. I don't think very many people read them, but they were the thing I was most proud of, Bond related, that I posted -- other than the Bond Bibliography, which I didn't get to in time, and some great posts I made in the Ask the Experts section. On that note, I'm gonna repost the old ones here and then continue on (I was on GF when I stopped).

The greatest loss happened some years ago when my 'Thanks for the Mammaries: 007's Greatest Tits' thread was deleted. The decline of the West started at that point.

in general MI6 was turning into that town from FLASHDANCE. Or so I'd guess. I've never seen FLASHDANCE.

Isn't Flashdance set in a steel town? Maybe you mean Footloose? (I can't say for certain as I've not seen either of them. I detest musicals.)

I was quite interested in the development of some of the fan media - eg. Shamelady and the in development Shatterhand. In fact there was some quite good media starting to emerge. There was also that chap who made the "Bond Inspired" music video (found the video - very Coldplayesque) - but gone are the interesting behind the scenes making of photos. Just preserving what I can remember here so it's not hopefully lost forever...

I miss all of the amusibg and intresting tread that i could just browse through a whole day. Just think about it, 9 years of posts, all gone. It feels quite akward :x

Ooo, i see all the old smileys is back :twisted:

I think the world will survive without my MI6 posts...
