Bring it Back to Life!!!!

ok it came to mind because 1080p LOTR was will be released, and I always liked that scene.

The fact this website is still going is incredible, after 8 years or so. Especially with a lack of major new Dune material etc.

Careful with that - they're only currently releasing the Theatrical Version on Blu-ray, from what I can tell.  That is to say, the way it was shown in the cinemas, without all the extra scenes.  You should see Amazon UK's comments section for the item.  Massive boycott.

Can't blame them, really.  Pretty poor marketing ploy.

[Kiyouta]

LOL. Releasing a film exactly as it was presented in a cinema... the monsters! How could they be so short-sighted?! Anyway, I can't believe anyone would want to watch LOTR with *extended* scenes! The films were already far too long anyway. Then again, I'm not a fan...

[Andrew]

Well the reason for theatrical first, is that people will buy it. And then 1 year from now extended/directors etc will come out and people will be expected to buy that as well.

Twice the money.

[Dragoon Knight]

My (and a whole load of Amazon customers') point exactly.  It's nothing more than a cheap ploy to get more money from the public.  There's no good reason (other than money grabbing) for them to not simply release the Extended / Special Edition right off the bat.

I'm certainly not falling for it. :P

March 2010 was the second busiest posting month since the end of the Revolution. Good, good. :)

Edit: And, as of yesterday, we have our third Padishah Emperor! Congrats Andrew!

Didn't even realize it until I read that.

[Dunenewt]

That's quite surprising considering the fact the last week saw days with less than 10 posts.

[exatreide]

I wonder where I'd be at if I hadn't deleted accounts and posts and all that good stuff. It's fine, I'll claw my way back to the top

Well, according to your profile ("show the last posts of this person"), you've made 6329 posts. Which means that you've somehow lost 4995 posts from your post count. Hmmm, I wonder if there's any way to edit your post count to fix that problem...

[exatreide]

That'd be nice kind sir.

[Andrew]

That's a lot of dungeon posts.  ;D

Only dungeon posts subtracted, or are all posts from hidden boards subtracted (saudukar2k/mod board etc)?

[Edric O]

That's not the issue. Ex deleted his first account a while back, and then created this new one that he's using now. Somehow, Gob managed to add his old posts to the new account, but they were not added to the post count.

[Dunenewt]

I remember when you could apply to be given a special ranking which would let you view the dungeon.

[exatreide]

Yeah, It goes back to when I dran...did a lot of stupid things. I'm better now, well now that I'm getting married.

Look at that

leet posts, classy

Hey, who did that? Nema isn't online...

[Dunenewt]

Magic!

[Edric O]

Oh, haha, I see what happened. Nema did do it - without even being here! I bet his filters automatically change the number 1337 into the word "leet" anywhere they find it... even in someone's post count.

Edit: Hmmm, looks like I can write 1337 just fine. There goes that theory...

[Dunenewt]

Maybe its a special setting for people with that amount of posts?

I've encountered this earlier, when Stefan had 1337 posts. At first, I couldn't understand what happened (thought it was some kind of easter egg or secret status or something along those lines), but then I decided that it was probably a side-effect of the censorship utility.

Hey, maybe it's just set up wrong: instead of ignoring 1337 in the post counters, it does just the opposite? ??? :)

[Dragoon Knight]

Looks like it's built-in to SMF 1.1.x, but removed for 2.x, according to this link.  Nema is blameless. :P

EDIT: The mod linked there can apparently fix this behaviour in 1.1.x.

[Edric O]

Well well well... less than two years after a time when we had over a thousand posts a month and a day with only 10 posts seemed unbearably slow, we are now getting just a few posts per week. The main reason for this disastrous state of affairs seems to be that our old members who did most of the posting have gone inactive. I include myself in this category, seeing how I've been gone for half a year.

Something needs to be done. Thus, I hereby resurrect the "Bring it Back to Life" thread, in the hope that this will spark some discussion on how to get back to at least 2010 levels of posting.
