So when are the Coming Attractions forums going to open up again?

[woozle_wazzle]

n/t

[Immortal1982]

never.

[woozle_wazzle]

hrm, why is that?

It was always such a good time at the CA forums.

Great discussions and a really good sense of community, when so many other message boards were noise and posturing the CA boards were a nice place to go.

In the end I suppose whats done is done but I want to wrap my head around why such a great place would be forgotten.

[sickness]

It happened in the end because it ceased to be what had made it so great. It went from being an online community where a multitude of discussions took place on a virtually unlimited variety of topics to being a sandbox with a shouting match between the zombies that had infested and inhabited it in its last days. A poisoned tree only bears poisoned fruit.

[Jakester]

French poison killed it, but it was dying, anyway. Plus...Patrick stopped paying the bill.

[Trazalca]

Meh. More like Patrick cut the tree down.

:(

A gradual but sad fate that was...

sickness says it best. Some long stories are best left untold, especially by those who do and do not know the details.

CA is where i got my start 6 years ago, and i've met many a wonderful and a few awful people. Patrick pulled the plug when he saw that nothing good could no longer come from CA. He was done with Cinescape as well, and has gone on to other endeuvors.

The communities of both CA and cinescape have evolved in the weirdest way these last 3 years, in good ways and bad.

Thats about all that can be said really.

[Jakester]

I still rock the muthafuckin' house, bitch.

[kah]

Yes, Jake, you sure do. :D Besides, there's a lot of us from CA on the Cinescape forums anyways. It's like the CA extended family now.

[Cncrman]

Let's get it straight, it's more like the extended family is actually made up of horribly disfigured mutants caused by CA inter-breeding.

[kah]

I was trying to be polite. :tongue:

[Cncrman]

Why bother on formalities Kah? :D

[kah]

Why bother on formalities Kah? :D

Fine. You want to be honest? We are all fucking wacked. The closing of CA broke something in our brains, and now we just wait around Cinescape like a bunch of labotamized vultures for Jake to say something offensive, or to ooohh and ahhh at one of Boki's masterpieces, or to hang on every word in a Traz rant, so we have something interesting to fill our little lives.

Well, at least I speak for me. :o lol. I stay at home and hope that someone has something interesting to say here, or at least something worth arguing over, because I just can't take all this solitude. Yes, I have my son, but he's not much of a conversationalist, and my bf and I don't share interests, so I basically need you guys to keep me this side of psychotic.

There, Cncr. Are you happy now?

[Jakester]

my bf and I don't share interests
I think you're interested in his weiner. I bet he's interested in his weiner.

Well now, don't you feel better?

[kah]

Well now, don't you feel better?

Believe me, there's a lot more where that came from. But, yes, it's a start.

[kah]

I think you're interested in his weiner. I bet he's interested in his weiner.

I don't know. His weiner makes babies. One is enough for me.

[Queen Mae]

I don't know. His weiner makes babies. One is enough for me.

So do you need a girlfriend?

[kah]

So do you need a girlfriend?

Are you offering? Because I don't do long-distance relationships. LOL. No, I need a sterile man.

[Intelligent_Design]

So when are the Coming Attractions forums going to open up again?As one of the only posters here not tainted by the stench of the CA boards I would like to say welcome to Cinecape. Its nowhere near as cool as Farscape though.:lol:

[DaForce]

Ah.............HEM!



I'm also free of the taint that that was CA.

[sickness]

Why? Because you became Daforce3 on the previous incarnation of the Cin boards in the meantime?

[omicron]

*sniff sniff* so that's what that smell is on me!

Omi

[Cncrman]

Please. You two have stink by association. It's like bumping into the grubby homeless guy on the bus; you may not have smelled that way getting on the bus, but now you smell like 6 day old liquor soiled clothing.

[woozle_wazzle]

I was on the CA boards for several years (in the late 90's) but not as this username...

Was it open in the late 90's? Not doubting you, but I thought it opened summer of 2000. Pretty sure the first posters, Wookie, et al were registered in Aug 2000. I remember because I didn't want to sign up because I always disliked the fighting and attacks that went on in most message boards but eventually saw that CA was different and registered, the first time, in Nov 2000.

Then went to make the ill fated X-Men forum my home :)

Also I didn't know Pat had left Cinescape. Time they are a changin :)

[sickness]

Also I didn't know Pat had left Cinescape. Time they are a changin :)

Yeah, although most people couldn't see it until many moons after it even happened. I remember posting in here about this time last year (on the previous board) that the inattentiveness toward the board (for well over a year) and the lack of updates on the site added up to Pat moving on to greener pastures. I took a lot of shit for saying that and now, since it's come back up, I say you numbskulls can all lick my sweaty nutsack. Doubt me, will you?

And when Jarrod is ready to give up his post, I'll be the first to tell you that, too.

[Jakester]

Jarrod's 'da man. Well, really, he's the evil enemy, but I mean that in a nice way.

[Intelligent_Design]

I tell ya Since he has taken over, people must be getting their Cinescape Mags now because its been a while since one of those whiny"Where is my Issue" posts.

Sometimes I wonder about the inner workings that Is Cinescape.

[Bill_the_Pony]

...... I didn't want to sign up because I always disliked the fighting and attacks that went on in most message boards but eventually saw that CA was different and registered........:)

Same here, after jumping ship off the floating turd that was IMDb's message boards, my first indoctrination to this wierd netherworld. I was working from home at the time. CA seemed much cozier, but like any little community, it took staying there to become familiar with people, and now....four years later....I know quite a few people all over the world, talk on phone with several, have met several.....there WERE the troublemakers and asswipes, though....and the specialised forums had their lion's share of idiot fanboys ( hence the closing of the X-men forum)...and the stupid melodrama that took place thanks to a few who shall remain nameless. :)

but overall, a great group of people, most of whom made it here, some who have not and I miss seeing. :(

There was no stench, Os. No more so than that little twat who called himself American here at Cin., and a couple others who I don't really remember or pay attention to. :rolleyes:

[woozle_wazzle]

Good to know.

This is actually my first post ever at Cinescape...I think, pretty sure about that. I kinda refused to post over here for several reasons, most of which had to do not so much with the cheese eating surrender monkey (said with much love to all those who are not the person in question) that everyone tiptoes around the name of but more to do with the people who constantly taunted him, to me they were the worse offenders.

So who knows, I may stay because so far, everyone who has responded has been a class act :)

Oh and on the CA boards I was Scott Shaolin, oft time lurker, some time poster.

[DaForce]

Why? Because you became Daforce3 on the previous incarnation of the Cin boards in the meantime?

Hey now, that was a completely different reason...

[Queen Mae]

Oh and on the CA boards I was Scott Shaolin, oft time lurker, some time poster.


I remember you!! Hi - glad you decided to become a Cinner like the rest of us. This is Carnivale, btw.

[sickness]

Hey, Scott! Welcome. I was Haywood back at the old digs. You're one of the few posters whose love for X-Men combined with a cool temperment and respect for others made me sad to see the X-Forum bite the big one.

Anyway, good to see you give Cinnerland a try.

[Immortal1982]

damn sorry for being snippy earlier man. Good to see you again Scott. Another of the old guard. Pop into the X-men forum and the other comic subforums, and have some fun.

[southpaw]

Cinescape forums rule.....Coming Attraction forums DROOL!!!!

[Jakester]

Hey Shaolin! Good to see ya, man.

[Jakester]

Not really. I dreamed that you would never become a mod.

[neglet]

Admit it, though--you do dream of Eldarion disciplining you.

[Trazalca]

Why Neglet! You sound jealous....wish you had that dream, huh?

:smirk:

[kah]

My EYES!!! They BURN!!! AHHHHH!!!!

Negs- you need to put a warning before comments like that. Holy god, that was awful...

~gag~

[neglet]

Don't be silly, Traz. Everyone knows I like to be the discplinarian. <cracks whip>

[Bill_the_Pony]

I love a mystery. :)

I have an idea, but it's probably...ahh, never mind. :)

Wait, weren't some of those aliases for people?

Kirah == obiwankenobistein?

Romy == ....Romy?

Mr. Mateo == yeah, I don't know.

Phattydopehit == Jango Fett?

[sickness]

Eww, Jakes, you do think of me... :hugs: Too bad you don't know my username from those days. I do remember you though.:lol:

Well, if I had to take an (un)educated guess, I'd say colmatrix.

[Trazalca]

You know, that'd be a pretty good guess.
I haven't thought of that name in a while. :o

[Adam54]

"Luck be a Jedi toniiiiiiiiiight"

I remember there being an "Imzadijedi" or something like that.

That be you?

[Immortal1982]

I wasn't that popular but I was there. I am sure if I told you, you'd say, "WHO?" I wasn't very focal about my faith then... Part of my username is related to the avatar I have now...

Well it certainly aint that HighlanderSkywalker chap. He was a glorified a$$h0le and i am glad he aint around....:wink: :lol:

[Jakester]

Yeah, that immortal Luke bastard was a real prig. Imzadijedi made it over here, didn't he/she?

And, damnit, nobody calls me Jakes except DarkQueen!!

[Jakester]

Okay. Sure.

[Natalie]

This thread makes me wonder where other old posters are....hmmm.

Hi, Scott, good to see you again.

[Bill_the_Pony]

Hi, Scott. :) :D

I see that Tyrant Virus has just joined....

Echoing your sentiments, Nat.... I woner how our young pups, Mouse, Shadynicks and Mr. DNA are doing?

I also miss Texas Gal and Prophetess.

Fatboy Roberts is a radio dj host in Portland, he's got a myspace profile. :D

As far as Jango and phat go.... :rolleyes: that is all.

Stenchy enough yet for the Original Cins? :)

[Cncrman]

Fatboy Roberts is a radio dj host in Portland, he's got a myspace profile. :D


Oooooh, so that's the Fatboy I'm listening to on my radio. I wondered if there was a connection.

[Bill_the_Pony]

Fatboy's myspace profile. (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=47869288) :)

[Jakester]

Fuck me naked with a spoon. He's heard by the public at large?! How can he be on the radio without getting dumped every three seconds?

[sickness]

Hey, it looks as though A. Scientist has docked his/her boat on the new shores of Cinescape Beach.

[kah]

than... with an A

angrypaperclip anyone?

[sickness]

3/4 of the people on the internet (including AP's alleged journalists), anyone?

[Bill_the_Pony]

Fuck me naked with a spoon.

:eek:

OH, no you don't! :angry We use those to EAT! :romy:

[sickness]

To eat ass if you believe the gospel of Stifler.

"Here's a spoon so you can eat my ass."

[Queen Mae]

I also miss Texas Gal and Prophetess.


I miss TexasGal too, and also bookworm and Wungy. I talk to Prophetess pretty regularly, she has a myspace, which I think you know already.

[Bill_the_Pony]

Yes, I need to go and say hi to her. :)
