why would an alert need replies? I don't call the weatherman when its a flood watch.

Doesn't that make it even worse? That he can start one quality thread and not get many replies yet Dan's threads will almost always go multiple pages.

People say they want quality threads here but the evidence kinda says otherwise. Since I've seen quality threads over the years here go with out notice but they love posting on the same threads they complain about.

no

mullen's problems stem from quantity AND quality

i'm not one to argue that banning should result from shite quality. that's censorship

however i do believe in the free market, which means if you make retarded threads, i think that those who feel the threads are retarded should have the ability to talk a whole lot of shite about you

the PROBLEM is the quality much more than the quantity. you can have some super badass thinker who could make 10 threads a day of the highest quality (like max and myself). but even max and i don't do this.

Well he also wrote up reviews. You know maybe to comment on the movie cause you've also seen it. Or perhaps watch the movie after being alerted then come back on the thread the next day and discuss what you saw. I can think of several reasons.

Sure you're free to insult Dan but is that really productive?

Then do it. If you feel Dan's threads are bad and yours are good start more threads here.

i can honestly say i dont think i've even noticed Kafka's alert threads ever. Dan Mullens' shite was very noticable and annoying to probably 90%+ of posters/lurkers.

Having said that, we have few enough regular movie board posters. We don't need to lose them. Especially for just posting too many threads.


Agreed.


Now if the bannage was because of the posting of so much stupid shite, then I just want to know when is Mastermind following him.

I'm not following you. If you are good at creating threads and the board is cluttered up with Dan's threads how would more people starting better threads make it worse?

it's like people who start talking loudly, then other people around start talking even louder, and before you know it the volume level is at an insane level. i have no desire to compete with dan

Not even remotely the same. Mastermind kind of cracks me up. I think he likes being made fun of.
The thing that gets me with Dan is he post something rediculous, then leaves. So I call him out and he never responds. So yeah he got on my nerves sometimes, sometimes he was alright. Don't really think he should have been banned.

Mastermind can get away with it because he usually posts between 2am and 5am on he movie board so most people don't even see his Jack Handey style posts.
