www.rottentomatoes.com - old veteran who likes a lot of weird movies. some hate me because I don't stick my nose up the lord of the rings films ass. the smart, cool members are my friends.

http://axisarchives.org/index.php? - much cooler board, where I'm just seen as a good friend, I suppose, again with odd, rather fantastical taste in film. great board - a really great group of smart, smart folks.

If you guys ever want to talk in depth about films, both old and new, I reccomend both. Politics doesn't come up much, though.

How am I viewed here???

It all revolves around on whether the moderatorial policies are tolerant of furious invective liberally spattered with arcane English obscenities.

If they don't go for that sort of thing, I'm viewed as "he got banned", usually.

$14.95?!!

Having read them a few times on occasion they were good but very big in scale and I never got drawn in really.

I imagine a large proportion of the users will go when they switch to a subscription anyway.

I usually match my posting style with the style of the forum. For example, on other forums, you'd see me go: , and posting short and meaningless posts.

well, I guess I don't change much.

Really? Those crazy freaks!

I've probably contributed around $15 a year to Counterglow voluntarily but it's more erratic and I wouldn't do it if it was compulsory.

I can't believe I haven't visited Straight Dope for more than a year!

I used to occasionally post at SDMB, even paid for the first year, but never was really drawn in. I didn't renew my subscription. That board tends to take itself far too seriously. The Pit is a pain to read at times thanks to the petty issues being made huge crises and all the OMG INTARNET FEUDS by self-important people.

Hell, I've probably posted at least half as many posts at Something Awful in 4 months than I posted to SDMB in 4 years.

Ok, but it's like a bunch of Apolyton OTs, really. Only slightly more witty, but I blame Eventis' evil influence on poly.
