 Where's the trailer forum?
Ok, so far WOKJ is awesome, I'm loving it. But this is a really big omission. The Trailer Forum is really great, because it was easy for me to go there to find specific new trailers that popped up. Now though, all I can find is one "trailer thread", and it's pretty damn dead. So c'mon, it's not like it's a lot of work, and I know, I've been a mod! :wink: I really think it'd be a great idea. How about you guys?

Movie-dude:
a) There is the trailer thread that you mentioned
b) All new trailers are mentioned in this forum
c) I've started a weekly trailers of the week thing on the main site. Shockingly, this site indeed has its own content and not just a forum  . Give it another 3 weeks and the archive for those trailers will be up as well and hopefully, if we structure it correectly, we could have each of them linked to a forum thread. Again, need a little bit of patience on everyone's part as this is all being thought up of right now and its christmas time ; )
Thanks again

A forum would be cooler.

Hey baba, I really don't want to sound like I'm picking an argument with you, especially after my, uh... "less then savory" behavior back in February, but personally I really think that it would be a great idea.
Token Brown Dude wrote: Movie-dude: a) There is the trailer thread that you mentioned Yeah, but it's gotten a grand total of FOUR posts since Halloween. It's really dead.b) All new trailers are mentioned in this forum I know, and it may be nitpicking, but it still means having to sort through all the other general movie threads to find them. A specific forum wouldn't be any work, and it'd just help with organization. If the entire WOKJ forum was just the general movie disccussion area, the box office area, and the review area I could understand you not wanting to open a new forum spot for trailers, but there's many other specific ones like awards and DVDs. Imagine what a pain it would be if the awards forum was just clumped into the general movie thread! Then again, if making a new trailer area would be a huge amount of work, and maybe it is but I was unaware, and if that's the case, I can totally understand why you wouldn't want to make it.c) I've started a weekly trailers of the week thing on the main site. Shockingly, this site indeed has its own content and not just a forum  . That's very cool man, and yeah, the main site ain't half bad. I'd been following the box office analysis and the reviews for awhile, it's good stuff. But you making a specific area for trailers, in my mind, just gives more of a reason to make a specific area. It shows trailers are important enough to not just be thrown into a big mix of everything else. Give it another 3 weeks and the archive for those trailers will be up as well and hopefully, if we structure it correectly, we could have each of them linked to a forum thread. Again, need a little bit of patience on everyone's part as this is all being thought up of right now and its christmas time ; ) Nice! A trailer archive would rule, and I'd be really psyched if each one had it's own thread. It's a really cool idea, whoever suggested it should be proud of having the idea. But the thing is, why not give these specific threads there own little area? Since something like that is really organized, wouldn't it make sense to go the extra step and have an area for those specific threads?Thanks again Thank you man, for explaining the situation. I really hope I'm not missing something because of it being so late, and if so, sorry I'm causing trouble. Once again, I really hope this doesn't sound like me trying to fight about something, I'm just sharing my thoughts on this. Even if you do end up deciding to not go along with the idea, good luck to you and the others on the trailer archive idea, it sounds very cool.

the main reason for not having a section dedicated to rumors and one for trailers was because i personally felt the speakeasy section over at BOM was suffering due to the movie conversations diluting due to the various forums.
I personally wont make any decision to create a new forum nor refrain from it. Let me speak with Eagle and the other mods and see, then prolly, get everyone here to vote on it ....
anyway, give me a day or 2 on this.

Hmm, that is a good point. Then again, I think that the BOM forums having specific forums for all the big franchises diluted it much more then just the trailer forum. Once again, it's up to you, Eagle, and the other mods, and you guys can take your time to come to whatever decision you will. Personally, I just think that the pros easily outweigh the cons. Whatever happens though, thanks for actually considering all this. Were it BOM, Sean would've already closed the thread.

My take is that a trailer setion isn't needed.
The only time it would ever be useful is if, someone lik you, comes in looking for mass information on recent trailers. In that case it would be very useful since you would have a thread on each trailer.
The worries are obviously that it will dilute the Movies forum, and in general end up inactive.
Personally I would not stop it, if everyone seemed to want it. There is afterall no harm in trying, and we are now starting to discuss trailers on the main site, so maybe it would be a good idea.
I am pretty much torn on this idea, I will add a poll, let the people decide  . I am also gonna move this to "The Site"

Im with MovieDude on the whole trailer issue. The problems with the existing trailer threads is that its spread out too far apart and you have to look closely and browse through all the pages to get that one trailer. Also the most anticipated of 2005 trailers may not necessarly have the trailers I wanted to look for

again roidrage .. would you be willing to give me a period of 2 months to implement my idea? if so ... it might be a good alternative to actually creating a complete forum for them.
Thanks again, in advance ...

Personally, I'd rather go for a Favorite Things forums and not Trailer Forum, methinks.
