 Re: What kind of hacky operation is BoxOffice.Com,no more fo
So wait...is that forum essentially a branch off of BOM? I recognized Baumer but no one else.
Also, Eagle, forgive my ignorance on the situation...but how can you keep this site running and why are they having so much more trouble? They seem to have more members etc...do you pay for this site out of your own pocket?

I don't know why they're having so much trouble, yes I do pay for it out of my own pocket, though the cost is nowhere near what they're planning to pay.

 Re: What kind of hacky operation is BoxOffice.Com,no more fo
Wow, Eagle...I had no idea it came from your own pockets. Regardless, that is really cool of you to keep this place going for so long. Seriously man. Thanks. I know I just started posting again recently but I have been checking these forums several times a week for 10 years. It is really neat that is is still around.

Don't thank me too much, I haven't ever been able to grow the site, it just kind of exists.

 Re: What kind of hacky operation is BoxOffice.Com,no more fo
It exists and has given us posters a great place to come to for just over ten years! I've enjoyed ALL of it. So yes, thank you.

I think it's unfair to the users to have to pay when they could just come to Seer and pay nothing, but they've built a pretty big forum over there, so what the heck do I know. What is Box Office Seer? I do see an ad up on KJ, that talks about a Movie Screen Shot Game.

Its a site for various movie related games, right now there are two: a screenshot challenge and a game where you predict what a movie will make.

 Re: What kind of hacky operation is BoxOffice.Com,no more fo
Eagle is probably the most underappreciated person on the internet. Not shutting WoKJ down a few years ago was something not many people would've done.

Just read everything after Eagle offered his help and man, some of those folks are pricks.

You should have seen some of the private messages, lol. In the end, you don't worry about the few, you worry about the larger community that would be a horrible shame to lose.

Huh? No, the PM's from BO forum members, I assume.
KJ members aren't little chickens. We'll gladly tell someone to their face.
