BOT >>>>> BOM. This place is so much better and I've looked at the IMDB boards and they look unprofessional, confusing, and unorganized. And I love you guys! BOM was good, but we never had this much fun.

Miss the derby - but at least we have free access to the whole sight now.

I enjoy reading the charts on BOM though

[Biggestgeekever]

At least we don't have to pay for any of BOM's more awesome features.

 

I'm curious what this site's pro features are, but not $400/year curious.

  Aw that's too bad.

 

We lost a lot of great threads from the forums. I especially miss the one started by Inny Binny about tickets sold.

So why wasn't something similar created here?No worries though. We do have the box office chat.

Box office chat is flawless. You will to th box office chat.

I do still email Ray about errors I find.

I love these forums so fuck you to BOM. They royally screwed us and then these bastards wanted us to join IMDB boards. Those boards are absolutely pits of the Earth. I just glad we've a forum we call home.     

My reaction to the IMDB boards:

Sean had to fight the managment to keep the derby open, Ray was willing to give it up.

Ray only would do charts if they brought in "hits" So for a person chart he would not put up a page for someone like John Goodman but a bollywood actor...right. It was going along well with them until the IMDB took over. Which it is going well still, but some stuff did happen when it changed, the 2nd admin Tom Karlo that was a temp was not that bad but he was taking down stuff also off the site. Ray was just banning anyone he found out was banned at anytime.

Now I do think Ray was a nice guy but he was too lenient about some stuff and strict about others.

I do love the site though still. And the IMDB is not that bad.

 

 

From what I remember it was Passion of the Christ that really brought a lot of new visitor to that site. 

 

I remember in 2004 it accounted a great deal of the movies that were viewed.

I was on the site since 1998 but finally posted on 3/31/2004. It was a thread asking what will you see that wekeend. Ironically I said I will see the Alamo which I have never seen. (I don't know how I remember that)

wtf is BOM. Boxofficemojo? I didnt know they had a forum

[Dementeleus]

Oh yeah, what happened to the DERBY?

 

Shawn was paying a software guy to develop a kickass version, but the dude bailed and the project is dead.

[Impact]

Classic Impact!

Ha ha and I still send him those classic "You have yet to update these films not yet rated"

Which I sent him a bunch last week and nearly all of the 2013 films now have ratings or are unrated

[kayumanggi]

We need to have international charts though.

Box office pro is $400 a year? Holy fuck. Do you get free shit?
