Topic: PLEASE READ! - Re: 'Ranking' Threads

In an effort to better streamline our forum categories, we are moving all threads that deal with 'ranking' - films, actors, Bond girls, cars, villain's lairs, watches, colognes, toupees & hair dye, footwear, white cats, etc. - into  ajb007/martini the TRIVIA Forum. Going forward, please start any new 'ranking' threads there.

All new 'ranking' threads created elsewhere will be moved.

Thanks very much!

Hmmm, I rank this decision as a good one.

BTW does this mean that my "Rank the rankings of the ranking ranks" thread will also suffer the same fate?

Re: PLEASE READ! - Re: 'Ranking' Threads

This may sound odd, but until I joined AJB I'd never even thought about
Ranking the Bond films. They were just " The Bond Films" , sure There are
a few I think as a bit superior to others, but as a body of work, I couldn't
choose one over another. ajb007/smile  they're all fun, for different reasons, but I watch
them all over and over and over and over .............  ajb007/cheers

Even Moonraker, Diamonds are Forever and Die another Day get a regular

Film  (Official series obviously )  ajb007/wink , you just have to find the right one to
suit your mood.
In other words it's not the films fault, it's Yours.  ajb007/lol  you merely picked the
wrong one to suit your mood at the time.
Maybe I should become a Bond " Feng shui" consultant ? People could tell
Me the mood they're in and I could recommend the perfect Bond to complemy
their mood.  ajb007/biggrin a Bond Sommelier perhaps ?

Ranking is not really Trivia. How bout starting a totally new "Ranking" forum since it's so popular?

How about sticking all the "pros and cons" threads in there as well then?

Makes sense.  Pros and cons is practically like ranking and with the objective of streamlining our forum categories as stated by Loeffelholz, "Pros and Cons" might be better placed in the Trivia section.

Re: PLEASE READ! - Re: 'Ranking' Threads

^ I don't agree. They're a great location for just going in and specifically talking about the film after you've recently watched it, or just have something to say without always having to create a new thread. Pros/cons aren't ranking, it's reviewing.
