For me, it is. I'm only a member of one other forum-the Classic Horror Film Board.
Mostly because the folks here are down to earth. I've known some of you folks longer than all of the women I lived with over the years. And unlike some other forums, we talk about everything.
You folks are good company and smart. And always fun to talk to!
Orange you sweet?
I belong to 3 other forums, most of which echo and have cobwebs... just like home! Badmovies has always been the coolest forum.
Pretty much the only one I'm on.............
I occasionally use other forums, although I lose interest quickly and move on. This is the only place I've hung around for more than a year so far.
With the exception of the annual 48hr film festival, most of the film & acting groups have turned into advertisement boards for improv schools, casting calls for the kind of actors they're not gonna find in THIS town, or casting calls a couple hundred miles away for no pay.
I don't MIND improv, I mean, I enjoy watch or people try it, and it's okay as a warm up exercise, But in of it's self, it's not acting.
All the other forums I belong to have withered and died over the years.
This one has hung on, and I've come to regard it as my second home.
Anybody here on Meetup.com?
How many of those actually have any Meetups?
Can you even count how many have started & disappeared? The Irony being, they actually cost a fee; You can't just start one & forget about it.
It's the only one I go to now. I'm pretty sure some of the ones I used to go to have vanished. Some are still running but I literally don't recall my logins there.
I'm on 3 other forums
the only other forum I've been a member of longer then here has rules against discussing politics and religion
here every topic under the sun has been discussed
including collect the monkey
i'm biased, so i won't respond .
No, but it's one of two forums I visit, so basically it's my second favorite. :teddyr:

Right back at you, Ronny :smile:
Yes it is: my family is here and I will be here as long as I still have fingers to type, eyes to see and underpants to ruin. :wink:
this is the only movie related board I post on, but I also post on a couple of electronic music forums, and used to post on one or 2 random others that are now defunct
what I like this place is that I'm free to be totally clueless about movies, without being made to feel stupid. I don't feel like anyone's lying in wait to pounce on any mistake or error I might make. cause when it comes to slightly more niche interest forums the sense of cliquey-ness and derision can get unbearable
I also like the green vibe of this place. it reminds me of, erm, trees? and...other green things.
I participate in the board game forums over at boardgamegeek.com
But I don't feel any kind of connection with people in those discussions. Over here, I feel like I'm hanging around with a bunch of people I know and we're just talking about interesting things. And some funny stuff goes on in here. Unfortunately, so many members have come and gone over the years. But I guess that's life.
There are other forums I got to to debate or have long conversations.
This is the only one I go to to just relax.
forums... I'm only on badmovies and challengertalk
I do enjoy it here its COOL :thumbup:

My favorite posts to make would be game-related, so I slightly prefer AtariAge.com to badmovies.org. But they are both fun.
Yahoo groups got took over by the porn spammers, MySpace didn't keep up with the sms crowd, Facebook is either full of parrots or flamers...

And conversations disappear too quickly on reddit and discord.
That and I hate the reddit's format.
I was on the IMDB message boards for quite a while and then those went away: some say they got closed because people's opinions on films was making them bomb like the Ghostbusters reboot.
I got my arse kicked off - yes, me - the Hawaii Five O fan site because I got angry with the mods over a review of one of the HFO episodes where the bad guy is a South African: the reviewer said "This character is a South African and therefore bad." My keyboard froze up over all the expletives I typed. :smile: :teddyr:
