It was nice of them to give advanced warning.

I've been there for ten years and not a peep.

Muldoon started the site and AFAIK has maintained it ever since.

It's only the last couple of years really that it's been dying a slow death.

The Running Man hadn't posted in eons and yet I didn't see an increase in traffic when he left.

I argued with him as much as anyone (he could be an arrogant jerk) but you can hardly blame him for a mass exodus.

I'd rather feiry debates than no posts (or forum) at all.

I remember when Gil used to be on the old BnB - he was annoying at times and would start arguments a lot (a la Jonathan Stathes)... :icon_suspect:

How? People reading the forum probably thought twice about posting because he was always destroying threads...I know I did. After a while you just lose intrest in checking the forum.

Running Man is funny as hell. I remember calling him out about being Gil on kfccinema.com and he went into a rage!!! the site was literally shut down becuz of Gil's ballistic tirades on other users, including the mods. it was hilarious!!!

If The Running Man was Mr. Gil, then I never had a problem with him in his Gil-persona...

Not sure if I've been in discussions with TRM, but I believe Gil and me were on pretty good terms and often would agree on certain topics...

I believe I visited the asiandvdguide forum a long long time ago, but with the decline of HK cinema and the forum I believe having some overactive mods at times (I think that was my issue with it), I just kinda forgot about the place...

Ian Levine is an ultra rabid Doctor Who fan.

I posted on the doctor who forums before if changed. A lot of daft people there.

But forums in general are rubbish :evil:

A Doctor Who fan? Well, there's your problem right there. :D

Maybe I didn't mind Gil/Running/etc because I gave as good as I got.

Every forum has people who piss you off. That's just how it is. Only wimps whine about it.
