    Thats the way it works. Some get shut down but most of them do well. Muhammad ali didnt win all his matches but that doesnt mean he should have restricted himself to only 20 fights.

    True...but he had at least one fight too many ;) :#

    Don't take this the wrong way AC but if you take the time to search for threads you will find one that you can simply "add" to instead of having its own dedicated thread.

    e.g. Im sure there is a general Tomorrow Never Dies thread that you could revive instead of creating a Pros and Cons of Tomorrow never Dies thread which you then repeat for every film in the series!!!

    You appear to be having an awful lot of threads locked by the mods due to such repetition

    Im not saying don't start a new thread, just saying search first as most of them are already there!

    I'm only suprised one thread wasn't "Rank Bond's footwear in the series" ;)

    Don't give me ideas :v
    How do you want the shoewear ranking threads?

    Subdivided by decade, actor or movie? Non-EON Bonds included or not :D ?

    Youre fine. Im talking about someone else, particularly someone who doesnt like a particular Bond actor.

    OK, that's fine. Sorry to get my wires crossed! I think you add a lot to the forums by the way. :)

    AHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just needed a scream :D

    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... {:)
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    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: 36,053Chief 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. -{
