    I've closed about half of the threads in question.

    Where do you think that scream ranks amongst all the AJB screams, TP?

    Using a previous scream as the 'benchmark' obviously 8-) :D

    Using a wide spread system, with a cross selection of inverted integers and using
    the Haxondale accounting variable, I think a score of 42.768 would be valid.

    I see your point, but I think it needs its separate thread to discuss the pros and cons of TP's scream. All those in favour... {:)

    I know several people like them but is there no way of collecting all the
    Ranking and pros and cons threads into their own forum section ? Then
    those who enjoy a quick rank could join with others, to enjoy their chosen
    passion.

    I agree. I do not want to see anyone ranking here. Ranking should be done in private.

    To rank or not to rank - that's the question :D

    Hopefully once their eyesight goes they won't be able to type on the keyboard. :))

    Although It was a serious suggestion. Might keep everyone happy.

    ^ I don't think we need a separate section for this - as much as they seem to dominate at the moment !
    I like the fact AJB doesn't have too many sub-sections...

    For once I'm not with you, Sir Miles, I'd be happy with a separate room.for those who feel the need to rank.

    If I admit to agreeing with Sir Miles and Barbel, does that make me a bad person? :#
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,734Chief of Staff
    :)) but we're disagreeing on this subject!

    B*gger. Should have put my specs on first.

    I'm not an advocate of having too many sub-forums...it makes the site look 'messy' ....but it's all down to SiCo in the end...

    I agree that a lot of sub-forums makes things look overwhelming. But, just this 1 time, I think 1 more sub-forum wouldn't hurt. And that should be THE JAMES BOND FUNHOUSE FORUM!

    I agree, a subforum for all those rankings would be good - a kind of AJB Bad Bank :D

    TP could moderate it as he's quite popular among the rankers as I have seen :D

    I have been known to keep my tip up. ;)

    Another suggestion might be to move the Ranking threads into the trivia
    Forum, as apart from one or two threads it's not very active ? Perhaps
    Surround it with some razor wire fencing, spotlights , a few guards.......
    ..... That sort of thing. ;)
    To stop some of the duplication of ranking lists, maybe a time period of
    Six months ( for example) for any new members before starting one. This
    Might stop some , almost trolls from joining just to start some pointless
    Tiny variation on an existing thread ?
    Vote TP, insensible policies for an insensible Britain ! ;)

    I think you're on to something, TP, I'd get behind that.

    I don't think a subforum is needed for the rankings. they're not too bothering when you don't have a member how tries to rank everything known to mankind :v

    I think putting the ranking threads into the trivia section is a good idea. Elimination games are in there, so why not rankings too? I still think we should have "The Funhouse Forum" as it's name though! (Not a new forum, just rename trivia :D)

    I'm not feeling this time period restriction though. Not a bad idea on paper, but hardly anyone will follow it - it is human nature these days for people to register on new boards and post threads before reading the rules. It shouldn't be that way, but it will always happen.

    I mean, the trivia forum not only includes trivia, but also games.... and potentially rankings too.... Funhouse Forum is a more appropriate name, and can just put games/trivia/rankings in brackets. It would work well and be a great blast from the past, not to mention referencing Scaramanga's funhouse.

    I can get on board with a separate ranking subforum, as it would be more popular than some of the current subforums. It wouldn't make the site look messy since it would clean out a lot of the junk from other areas.

    For what it's worth I think that the Bond rankings should have it's own sub forum. I think it would actually be quite popular. I can find some of the ranking lists from fellow Bond fans quite interesting (although some of the ranking threads are ridiculous) but I can appreciate that they are not everybody's cup of tea. -{

    I don't really get the whole ranking thing but each to their own so live and let rank or rank another day. Any how I think the trivia forum is a sound idea. A good home for your rank only
    It was either that.....or the priesthood
  • HigginsHiggins GermanyPosts: 16,619MI6 Agent
    We haven't had a new ranking thread since


    6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Days!

    Seems hat the mods did a bloodbath among the w... Rankers :D

    Thank you my American cousin, I think its best to keep these threads from becoming too serious or an outright witch hunt or even ranker hunt! Moonranker anyone?

    It would probably be a good idea to make a separate ranking forum for those who want to do it so that the people who don't like it aren't bothered by it.
