Important Announcement


Fourscore and seven days ago (give or take a score or two) the most illustrious and well-respected MovieChat member disappeared without explanation. So, the MovieChat team did as you might expect. Investigations were launched, inquiries were made, candles were lit and animals were ritualistically sacrificed. No answers were forthcoming.

Then, just as suddenly as he disappeared, he returned.

And, like all shaman, he returned from his exile having achieved profound enlightenment. Among his first statements:

“Somebody once told me that the left side of the Twix is better than the right.”

Words cannot describe the shock, nay, the panic that this aphorism instilled among the MovieChat High Command. Urgent meetings were convened and it was unanimously decided that the scientists of MovieChat Labs would test this proposition.

The $100,000 jackpot that was originally intended for the person who made the 100,000th post was immediately reallocated to this experiment. Here are the results:

No difference. Both sides of the Twix are equal in

- Caramelosity
- Chocolatey goodness
- Crispity crunchiness

Tests were repeated with Peanut Butter Twix and Dark Chocolate Twix, but the results were the same.

We would also like to take this opportunity to knock down a perpetual rumor that we experientially and categorically disproved: Twix are utterly useless for bear defense. Neither the grizzly nor the California black bear were deterred or even distracted in the slightest degree by ANY flavor of Twix.

============================

In all seriousness, thanks to godewey and ALL MovieChat members for an amazing inaugural year. Jim coded the site, but you all made it a home. Here’s to 200,000 and beyond 🥂.

So who got the $100,000?

I thought it was you?

Unfortunately not. If it had been me, I'd be in South America right now. I'm not in South America right now. BTW, did I mention the regrettable situation that I am not in South America at this time?

Mod 2 resigned several months ago, before I joined the team.

Mod 3 is on hiatus and will hopefully return at some point.

Ah Mod 5,thanks be to you and Mod 4 for carrying the weight.We are an unruly bunch for sure on GD but we loves ya! And hey I always report that spammer IELTS guy/gal.I don't even know what IELTS is but I knows spam when I sees it.

I hope Mod3 will return to us fighting fit and full of vim and vigour very soon.

reply

Well thank you! Very nice of you to say. And we definitely appreciate the spammer reports, because the less time those posts stay up, the less likely they are to keep trying it.

Great hearing from you.
I will pass on that Twix. I never cared for those things. I know.... Bahhh HumBug!
Will Jim be around to Bless His Followers? I want to thank him once again on this, our special occasion!

Hi MissMargo! I'm sure Jim will duck in again at some point, but I couldn't say when.

reply

Hi, #5!
May I just say, You are all doing a fantabulous job! We can't thank you enough for all that you do here.
I have no doubt that each of us would be happy to hear from our great leader and benefactor.
This time, we do not wish to bitch like the last time. We wish to thank him for this marvelous site.

One last thing..... For those of us who really can't stomach Twix, PULLLLEEEEEZZZZZZ! Throw in some Kit Kats!

You won't have to. I've recorded and keep a running list of the bitching, which are actually constructive suggestions.

- search/filter functionality for posts
- issue with email notifications
- ability to delete pm's
- should have edit pic link on main page
- easier avatar upload process
- fix issue with long conversation threads running off page
- remove or extend post character limitation
- easier format tagging
- issues with conflicting formatting tags
- emojis
- display avatar in post
- display signatures
- ability to change font color
- include topic title and person replying to in list of user posts; make searchable and filterable on those criteria
- user-side profanity masker
- larger fonts
- crosspost threads
- connect MC account to old imdb account
- create public & private lists (watchlist, etc)

and I just got one more:

- Kit Kats!

Well done! Congratulations all you marathoners! You not only made our goal, you blew the doors off it! From the few posts I've read it appears you were up to your usual zany shenanigans. Sorry I wasn't around.

💃🤪🎆🎉🎈🥂
