It's really too bad that it's moribund. It still exists though, with a handful of daily posters still! And, more importantly, it's searchable for the trove of information it contains and the discussions by its very intelligent and informed participants.

I still participate in a few movie-related newsgroups, but like a.s.p they’re shadows of their former selves.

and the fact I can start a thread and almost keep it from being shut down for a whole 6 hours
Not only shut down but deleted. I woke up the next morning to see what the carnage was and poof gone. The last thing I remember was Ed Asner.

I’ll take some blame in that one. Got a little carried away.

Totally carried away but it was fun as shit. I love a good back and forth with people who can hold their own!

This one is being closed now. It seems it has gone off track.

Let me remind everyone of Rule #10:

10. No Rudeness or Personal Attacks

While we honor passionate and informed discussion we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts.
'Rudeness' means deliberately discourteous comments directed at another member. 'Insulting posts' are those that treat another member with deliberate rudeness and contempt. 'Purposeless inflammatory posts' are posts that are designed purely to provoke a reaction and cause an unpleasant argument.

Such behaviour is not tolerated here.

We take a very firm line on these forums regarding personal attacks, so it is important for all members to understand the difference between disagreeing with the content of another member's posts, and making a personal attack on someone.
Our definition of a 'personal attack' includes:
attacking a member's motivation for a post


  • attacking a member's character
  • referring to a member in a contemptuous manner
  • belittling a member using sarcasm
  • making negative or rude statements about administrators or moderators
  • attacking people or groups based on race, age, gender, sexual orientation or religious beliefs.

Disagreeing with comments made in another member's post does not constitute a personal attack. Members are allowed to refute the comments of other members and provide reasons why they don't agree. A member may also choose to contradict a comment and provide very little evidence to support their comments, and this does not count as a personal attack either. When a member chooses to attack the author of a post rather than the content of the post, that is a personal attack. Please keep your focus on the facts of the topic under discussion - not on the person with whom you disagree.

I'm being 100% serious here, all of the bickering and fighting is getting REALLY old.
