How about we look for another platform to discuss the show?

That's a real shame they're shutting down the message boards (particularly this one). The discussions here were, for the most part, intelligent and interesting. And the ones that weren't, or the trolls - it's really easy to just sift through those.
Perhaps there's another platform (*not* facebook) which we can move to, together, to keep those intelligent discussions going? Season 5 is just around the corner, it'd be a shame not to be dissecting it with you.
Any ideas?

As I just posted on another thread of the same topic...

Since I have my own server (coincidentally the same one that yvrshoots.com runs on), would anyone be interested if I were to set up a forum on there for discussing all things BaMo (and as standard for forums, many things that have nothing to do with BaMo as well)? Ad-free, of course, because I hate those things.
Is there any interest?

Yes! Yesyesyes!
Great minds etc.
I'll sign up.

Okay, I've grabbed a domain, will set up a board in the morning (sleep first, but apparently since no one knows how to drive in the snow here, even that will have to wait).

Looking forward to it. Hope you got some sleep 👍

Great idea. I just started visiting this board regularly too. I also suggest using Reddit! That's how I primarily discuss the show. We'd love to have you in our sub -- there needs to be more insightful discussion!

I would love to sign up for this - I've not participated in a lot of these boards before (except for LOST back in the day) but I just found this show and fell in love with it. I binged the first 4 seasons on Netflix this week and was really looking forward to discussing the new season.

Okay, I have the basics up... still tweaking and adding features, but the start is ready.

Once things are ready, of course there will be a need for Moderators, so I'll put a call there once I've found a few spare minutes.

I appreciate you setting up the platform. I usually just come here to read people's opinions and such - haven't contributed anything yet, but as a longtime IMDB member, it's a shame the messageboards are closing. I've been on them longer than I can remember.

I did try your link and it said I didn't have permission to be on it. Is there anything I should do special to set things up with you, or is it still a WIP? Thanks!

[–] NightStormDraconis 8 years ago

I know this is probably not something you want to do, but is there a chance you can screenshot the error you are getting and send it to me at scott(@)canadiancreative.ca (minus the brackets)?

[–] TinaIINone 8 years ago

I don't mind. I haven't tried again since I sent the message, but once I'm back at my laptop I'll do that for you if the error shows up. Thanks.
