    Talk back radio is not rated on the number of calls made but the listeners, 99% of whom do not call in.
    Good point.

    OKCupid recently forced millions of lust-seekers to switch to their real names to improve behavior.

    And I've definitely noticed FB Groups are much more civil than toxic-commentard-infested forums like APF.

    But just a matter of time B4 I get booted! (Evicted from Reddit 4 times in last few months!  =)


  • What did you do to get evicted?
  • What did you do to get evicted?
    They don't give a reason! You just get an email saying you've been "banned from posting" permanently. Even though the Reddit group is named "MoviePosterPORN" - 100K subscribers but no porn and 90% movie art and 9.9% current releases - they don't tolerate posts/comments that are picture collages (e.g. most valuable SW MPs), framed MPs, or promote/mention other nonprofit sites. I had 20K likes too, way above average. Oh well....

    Guess I'll just enjoy my exile:

    This is the most ridiculous thing I have heard today...I don't understand the need for these "platforms" to pretend other "platforms" for discussion and sharing exist.  Idjits...I knew there was a reason I couldn't be bothered with the whole social media thing.  BAH!

    I read your quite Ves & thought, did her keyboard have a spasm? Idjits??? I had to look it up.... =)
  • So you just got like a generic email saying your banned? Wow that's ballsy.

    So their Mods are.......

    They SHOULD have given me a warning first!

    10.4K (TEN THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED) LIKES! 400 COMMENTS! For this pic alone....

    They should of edited your post then sent you a PM saying  we've edited your post and given the reasons why.   We've banned one person that I can remember. He was total flog.

    So the moral of the story is children - “NO” forums won’t go way of social media because people will need a place to come to and complain about social media.
  • Hahahahaha!
  • Mel - I always dig the content you post here, on APF, Facebook. I really like the creative little collages you make and the info that goes with them. Keep it up! 
  • Somewhere on the internet is an image of his first apartment with all the Romantic movie posters all framed up, plastered all over the walls. Must see if I can find it...


  • No worries! 10.9K members, still no problem....

  • There may be 10K people that like movie posters but are not poster collectors - Facebook is like a "Pro-Am" before a golf tourney.  Everybody wants to be a pro golfer until they realize they suck.  We don't suck at poster collecting.

    Yes, "your" peccadilloes are few and far between!  =)


  • Social media is a disorganized mess!


  • What's an attention floozy like moi to do?
  • Wazzup Mel?  You sound lost in love and don't know much, were you thinking aloud but fell out of touch?

  • So a new poster pal in the “metropolis” of Charlotte weirdly told me forums were “too fleeting” in contrast to FB posts. Opposite is true! Forum threads are permanent and much better organized than bazillions of random FB feed entries that are instantly forgotten.

    But I’ve learned you can’t change people’s minds so rarely even try anymore  :|

    BTW my new 19yo personal assistant told me neither she nor her age group ever used FB.
