I find myself getting caught up in the discussion boards way too much. I even have a few scripts I've read recently but haven't gotten around to reviewing (i'll be on that soon), that's also b/c of school work and a social life. Discussion boards being locked would help. I really think people's true colors would show. We'd see if gossip or screenwriting is their priority on this site. Writer's who recently have posted scripts will really benefit from this. It will only help them by having more feedback than the usual script gets. I say go for it. If people don't like it, DEAL. It'll be back in a week. Until then write or take up a hobby like model train building.

When I was young, my only goal in life was to build a gigantic room filled with the biggest railway set ever constructed.
Sheesh, where did I go wrong...
Back to the topic - It would be interesting to see what would happen. I read a lot of stuff, so I'd probably survive.

I changed my mind. As I look at the script threads I'm notcing that there hasn't been a big volume of reviews recently. A few people have mentioned this, often I'm looking at what's going on in the non-script related pages and then get distracted from doing what I was intending to do. So call me John Kerry cause I'm flip flopping.

Go the lockdown. Ideally all I'd like to do on this site is post scripts and review them, but talking about movies and ourselves is an easy out. Save us from ourselves Don.

I've known this for a year and nobody listens to crazy old Wesley... If I'm so crazy why do 23 people to 7 agree with me? Plus Don. George - you, Bert and Higgonaitor have a scene in your scripts that says this fact and yet you didn't believe it at the time it was written by you? The other boards are important as you connect with other people, down the line possibly meet them with what Andy does in her spare time. Maybe even form a partnership with them that makes you both Rich and Famous. I'd say a lot of people are here because THEY want people to read their scripts and love them, they don't care to read things in return which is why they'd vote no.

You think
this is why we think you're crazy? Oh man, it goes waaaay deeper than that.
And if you don't lock that stupid Tanuki thread soon I am going to start talkin' smack on your mamma, too.

You should read "Hero of her Heart" afterward. That was hilarious!

Are you speaking of the one they wanted me to close or the one in Getting to know you? I closed it because everybody kept saying lock this thread.

Wesley took away the Tanuki thread and everyone left. It's now very quiet here and I was just getting in the mood.
Actually, I took away the Tanuki thread. It started to take a bad turn.

You know what's going to be funny (or ironic, take your pick) -- The sixteen gazillion posts that accumulate within hours after some silly soul begins the "So, What Did You Think of the Lockdown?" thread. Think about it....
