Actually Nipkowdisc came fourth. There were three winners then Nipkowdisc became the alternate. Sort of like if Miss America cannot fulfill her duties Nipkowdisc would step in and get the $10 gift certificate.

Yes, I now recall. Are you Bogie56 from the TCM site? I ask because the avatar photo is the same.

Yes, I am. I confessed as much when I joined a few weeks ago and added that I didn't really like my old name. It was the only thing I could think of at the time when I was promoted to do so when joining TCM.
I thought the "alternate" added a level of yokel cheese to the contest over there. Not quite like being selected as "alternate" should the powerball winner not turn up to collect.

This reminds me of Geraldine Page's line in WHATEVER HAPPENED TO AUNT ALICE: "I won! I won! Well, third prize."

Well you answered one of my questions about this site and that was if Canadians could join. I assumed YES, but I don't recall seeing MSWonderly and some of the others. Look forward to discussing films with you and I plan to stay out of politics (I don't even know if this site allows for that, but even if they did, I'm trying to avoid such topics).

Ditto. I'm penning this from England, so unlike TCM I assume this forum is open to people from Europe as well.

The TCM board only blocked Europe due to the large amount of spam bots originating from there. This board has a different feature where such bots can not sign up typically.

Perhaps Hibi is asking for a new board which can contain multiple threads rather than simply a new topic which is a single thread in which all replies are lumped and it is difficult to find comments on specific movies.

It may also be that he does not have permission to start a new topic and so the: "New Topic" button is not shown. It is often that I do not have permissions. I must log out, clear cookies and sign back in before being able to do very much. See red oval at bottom of:



The column of ovals at the right are because I prepared this image in anticipation of asking why the forum is time-locked so that it is at all times: 4:43am or 4:43pm. I have decided it is not important but I do not have a version of the image before ovals to post here. I am reminded of an episode of Doctor Who wherein time does not change because someone altered a set/fixed point in time and so all was unravelling.
