  1. Not really. The concept of the show would have changed. Which is fine. But like those 2 seasons we got were way better than any of the post T2 movies and I wouldn't want to change that to follow up a bombed movie.
  2. The older the code is the more difficult it is to make updates to the project especially when you have different coders come and go through the history of the site. The people who originally made BOM haven't been there for years. It's part of the reason IMDB shut down the Box Office Mojo forums/derby (the old code led to a crash of their log-in system which IMDB never fixed due to the age). It's less of a problem if you have a big staff who can make sweeping changes to the site or the same coder but Box Office Mojo had neither. Keep in mind Box Office Mojo isn't pure HTML: it's partly an online database which meant lots of complex code. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure Box Office Guru is just HTML (which is super basic code) and maybe some basic CSS (which is just a visual template for the website). It's functional, sure, but Gitesh isn't doing anything complex with his website. Even though he has a "database" it's really just him editing the webpage with the data rather than an actual web database. But like I could easily jump in and take over and not miss a beat with his coding-and I only know very basic HTML/CSS! I couldn't work on BOM's code (or even BOT's code which is also immensely complicated!) It is very good for BOM to get an update to it's code (and look) but it's bad that they changed the nature of the website in the process. If we could have the old BOM features back but with new code? Would have been ideal.
  3. Premium/Gold members check out the special forum for you guys.
  4. The results are in. I will instruct the staff to move all clubs to Box Office Clubs.
  5. It's too late to save BOM. But the BOT community will prevail one way or another. They shut down our forums, we create our own forums (and then we went to a magazine's website then they kicked us but now we pay our own way). They killed the derby, we created our derby. The contributions our forum members make is impressive. Don't doubt the power and will of the box office theory community.
  6. If you want to support an independent box office site, the best box office community, then please donate money to out site! https://forums.boxofficetheory.com/subscriptions/ We promise not to hide any relevant stuff behind a paywall!
  7. Just wanted to get some community feedback on something the staff is discussing. What do you all think about moving all clubs to the Box Office Clubs forum? The idea is that it'll make it easier to find them since when they move here they can get easily lost based on how active the forum is as a whole. Or do you guys like the status quo?
  8. Just re-arranged the forums a bit. Box Office Clubs is now on the main page. A few other changes as well.
  9. We have found our new staff members! Please welcome @captainwondyful, @ZeeSoh, and @Eric! to the staff! I am sure that they will all do a great job at moderating the site!
  10. We don't need anyone to step down to make room. There's no limit or cap on staff members.
  11. I feel like you totally intended this pun despite your protests otherwise.
  12. BOT has decided that it's time to bring new blood into the staff in an effort to continue our endless war against outright trolls and concern trolls. If you want to apply please submit an application letting us know if you have What's App/Telegram as well as how active you believe you can be and any experience. Also with your application or seperately please submit a list of community members you think would make an excellent addition to the staff. Please send this to me via PM. We are looking for active people with good reputation with the staff and community.
  13. 'Cause when we set up that stuff Discord wasn't a thing.
  14. After Far from Home, Tobey is back to being my spider-man. Sorry Holland.
