Renaming and/or reorganising our forums: Is this our way forward?

I think that'd get the site banned in Soviet Australia. Or at the very least, the forum would have to change its colours to a drab olive-green to discourage use.

Don't forget the photo of the dissected fatty artery.

New tag-line

Welcome to Bond and Beyond - get your five-a-day here in the culture stakes.

Soviet Australia? That's a new one, but I suppose you're right as it does seem to be rather reactionary - blame Julia Gillard!

I want to use this in our banner:

I nominate you for the firing squad!

The trailer's tagline could be adapted for the forum banner:

Beyond Love

Beyond Death

BOND AND BEYOND

I still think that my Moonraker inspired tag-line was hard to beat, even if I do say so myself!

Oh fuck, can we?

In an ideal world, I'd honestly love to use that as our banner. Too many people wouldn't "get it" though. :-(

Why don't we use this charmer I knocked up a couple years ago?



Still makes me laugh.

Use a Fleming quote.

What about James Bond's philosophy from his obituary in YOLT - a quote from Jack London?

"I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."

How about, "I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall waste my time on Bond and Beyond."


Okay... a serious suggestion now, regarding the organization of forums.

I agree with having subforums for the James Bond sections, instead of individual forums. Very good. Cleans the board up and puts more spotlight on the Beyond stuff.
HOWEVER... the "James Bond 007" forum should have its own header, instead of being lumped with Cinema & Television. Because the "James Bond 007" forum is not just for Bond in film and TV.

This new header for the "James Bond 007" forum would look good sandwiched between the "Welcome" header and the "Cinema & Television" header. In my opinion.

Whew! I'm posting so many ideas tonight...

I understand exactly where you're coming from there, Louis.  If the forums remain under the "Bond And Beyond" name, then it would make perfect sense to do as you suggest, which I will if we stick with the current forum name.  If not, I'll make any necessary alterations to the Bond sections.

Ha, yes that was class.  Anyone know the whereabouts of that pic Laz put on here (or was it Python?) ages ago of MayDay with a dick standing on top of a dynamited MI6?

Add Rick Yune's mug to that and we have a winner.

Actually it's kinda depressing to see that stupid banner again. Haha. Man. I shouldn't have dug that up.

Let's call it your tribute to DAD's parasurf sequence ... it HAD to look shoddy to be right ;) .

I think some of the forums still need some work, especially in the music sections.

Maybe utilize subforums? For example:

MUSIC
- General Discussion
- Album Reviews
- Film Scores

Same could be done with some of the Bond areas.

Keep "Music: Artist & Band Discussions."

Forget album reviews. Only old codgers like myself know what an album is, anyway.

Downloads, maaaaaaaan.
