Re: POLL: Do you want a Like button? Poll has ended!

[/quote] OK, I assume you are referring to me as the male? This was not an election and there are no standards for winning or losing - that is up to the Administrators to determine. It was a recommendation by one new member who then created a poll to garner support for his recommendation. It in eff...

Re: Holiday Surprises

Surprise here was that in northwestern S.C. the temperature dropped to 9 degrees and high will be in 20's. Although that is not totally unusual, usually happens in Jan or Feb. Temps. around Christmas were 70 a couple of years ago.
But will be sunny and 56 on Thursday.

Re: POLL: Do you want a Like button? Poll has ended!

It isn’t immediately to me either who the other individual is who offended you (the male one). There are lots of people from both sides who contested the poll. It isn't really important who the other individual is. When TCM announced the sunsetting, I posted about how, although of course we love to...

Re: Noir Alley

This is new to me, but others may have known about it for quite some time. I went to TCM.com and noted the list on the left of home page showed Noir Alley so I went there. Has some interesting information re: what noir is, what Noir Alley is all about, lists upcoming features and so forth.

Re: POLL: Do you want a Like button? Poll has ended!

Of course I don't mean you. There are two others -- a woman and a man -- who have behaved in a manner that I would have thought to be beneath them, having observed them these many years (and besides, I had no idea that was a stomach!). I assume you prefer not to give names, but at least to me it is...

Re: TCM announces it is sunsetting the TCM Forums

Re: Holiday Films

Slightly off topic here, but the local news stations are reporting that a new Hallmark Movie is being filmed at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville NC for presentation next year. I have only watched about 3 or 4 Hallmark movies and can recommend none of them. Yes, Hallmark tends to be a bit schmaltzy....

Re: POLL: Do you want a Like button? Poll has ended!

In this situation, the best policy by the Administrators would be to adopt the positive majority voting system. This is not just a majority vote, but a majority of all members. So, if there are 70 members, 36 would have to vote in favor. It also appears that millstone is being overly critical and h...

Lawrence, hope you don't leave but then you are also on "the other site" I believe. I am a little confused by your post. See the highlighted statements. Who are the site elders? Existing users of SSO, new people from TCM site, somebody else? What relationship does that have to EP Millston...

Re: POLL: Do you want a Like button? Poll ends today!

I only recall one mod here posting in this thread, and their opinion on the "Like" button was extremely negative. They were the one that stated that the "for" votes had to be an overwhelming majority, and then maybe. But I've only seen negative sentiment about a Like button by t...

Re: Request for Like/Thank Button

Okay, we have to think buttons here. If the flood gates are open to the Like button, what other buttons are out there? Can Lomm make buttons up or create new buttons or what? I would like to see some creative and sarcastic and hurtful buttons. Like a Lame button, or an Off Topic button, or a Quit C...
