The Dark Tower : Where should we migrate to?

Where should we migrate to?

Those of us serious about this film and, heck, The Dark Tower in general, ought to have another forum/message board to hang out at when this place is finally shut down.

Re: Where should we migrate to?

Also, i've met so many people here that taught me new ways of thinking and previously unconsidered aspects of The Dark Tower. People that, at times, brought a sparkle to my eye. It would be a mighty shame if I never saw them again before the film debuted.

Re: Forgive me if i've forgotten anybody.

Do you have a reddit, Wesker? Because I'd love to continue discussions with you there. And we won't have to put up with Spider anymore.

Re: Forgive me if i've forgotten anybody.

By the way, I'm also Odin Cat of Norway. I guess my home computer has it's own account or something.

Re: Forgive me if i've forgotten anybody.

Reddit is one possibility. I can't say I wouldn't prefer a message board where those of us that use avatars can continue the practice, but...as long as most (hopefully ALL) of us can communicate with one another and then share our opinions on the film after watching it, i'll be content.

Here is another board to consider -> http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/forumdisplay.php?6-The-Oracle.

Re: Forgive me if i've forgotten anybody.

Is that in order? If so i you too

I'm looking at reddit atm but i'm not familiar with their format. Does anyone know it better and how it works? A subreddit for TDT imdb users could be a decent temporary place for us orphans.

Re: Forgive me if i've forgotten anybody.

Reddit is fairly easy to use. It wouldn't be the worst place for us IMDBers to set up a "shantytown" until somewhere more permanent...more colorful...makes itself known.

Re: Forgive me if i've forgotten anybody.



I have no idea where we should all move to either, but I also hope that this isn't the last I see of the people on this list (and a few others who might've been forgotten). As frustrating as it could be at times, I'm gonna miss this place.

Re: Forgive me if i've forgotten anybody.

We'll see what the hivemind has to say .

Re: Forgive me if i've forgotten anybody.

I would consider a closed FB group as a temporary way station given the short period of time we've been allocated. A bit less anonymity, but tweaking privacy settings is an option. And it would depend on admin of course.

I feel the majority of us are ka-tet, i'd hate to lose this group :(

When one spends the better part of a year getting to know fellow fans, this is bound to happen.

You say true, I say thankya.

Perhaps creating a forum on proboards for the dark tower IMDb refugees?

What is "proboards" all about?

Wherever the place may be, it must be stable and accessible to all. It doesn't make sense to choose a location that can go down rather easily and is cut off from certain users if they're in another nation (speaking from a United States-centric POV here).

Thanks For The Honorable Mention And Invite

I'll be watching for any unfound-door (URL) that takes me to whatever path of the beam you guys/girls follow.

But ye must beware of walk-in's (ye Trolls, ye Child of Roderick, ye spoiled, ye lost)

Re: Forgive me if i've forgotten anybody.

Thanks!
The feeling is mutual!!!!

Re: Forgive me if i've forgotten anybody.

I suggest creating a facebook group.

Re: Where should we migrate to?

There is a great group on Facebook. Just search dark tower and pick the most popular.

Re: Where should we migrate to?

I'm iffy about Facebock...or, heck, social media in general. I prefer something as close to a conventional message board as possible.

Re: Where should we migrate to?

Okay everyone. I am going ahead with the construction of a The Dark Tower forum where we can hang out and discuss the film, the books, the comics, and, assuming we're around long enough, the eventual television series.

If you are interested in joining, feel free to chime in. I will send you a link to the forum via Private Message in due time.

Re: Where should we migrate to?

Take a look at unforumzed.

Re: Where should we migrate to?

Do you think the forum/board we migrate to ought to be a general "The Dark Tower" themed place of discussion, or should it have sub-boards for "The Dark Tower Novels", "The Dark Tower Comics", "The Dark Tower Television Show", etc?

Re: Where should we migrate to?

When it comes to titles, I was considering "The Dark Tower (IMDBer Edition)" or "The Dark Tower (IMDB Edition)" for the new home.

Prosaic, I know. Something in the purple prose may be more appropriate.

Re: Where should we migrate to?

The guy who wished death about other posters (including me) wants to join the party? Interesting. I think the good side of this all is that now we don't have to deal with the likes of you anymore.

Re: Where should we migrate to?

Also very interesting that you call out a poster you don't like for that, but have no problems with the suggestion of the poster who wished death on three other posters (but they disagreed with you so presumably that's ok with you if it's wished on them). And no I have no interest in joining your sad little shill group to mindlessly praise this, before you delude yourself into thinking that's why I posted on this thread. Merely pointing out your continued hypocrisy.

Re: Where should we migrate to?

I'll take a wild guess and say that 99% of whoever read this comment shared a big sigh of relief. Your negativity and idiocy and will not be missed, good riddance! :) So long Spidey!

Re: Where should we migrate to?

You're the idiot, you and your ilk. You just don't want anyone to point out how full of sh*t you are, and don't think I didn't see the dodging of the point I made either. You're transparent fool.
I won't miss the impossible task of trying to make SJW fools like you, Wesker and the other blithering idiots mentioned by Wesker see reality.
Will be a shame that I'll miss getting to say I told you so and mock your stupidity when it bombs though. But you'll always know I told you so... maybe when this fails you might actually read the book, if you can read.

Hi, thedarktower.org was a very friendly and organised place when I used to visit regularly. It rose from the ashes of thedarktower.net, another welcoming place.

I should sign in and have a rustle...

Re: Where should we migrate to?

The ability to create multiple threads for a single film is, in my mind, a necessity .

Re: Where should we migrate to?

Are you working on something Wesker? I've just created a facebook group for the interim until something more appropriate comes up. The social media route isn't for everyone but all are welcome to join.

If someone could do a subreddit too that would be helpful.

I am now.

Re: Where should we migrate to?

Its bad news all around, I suppose Reddit will have to do.

I'll miss this place, sometimes things got crazy, but nothing like the stuff I saw on Twitter, and thats where they want us to go...way to undervalue your audience, Twitter is no replacement for a proper forums with links to all the titles.

Rarely did we agree Wesker, but you usually raised some good points.

I cannot describe how sad this makes me, I know its silly...its a horrible feeling, when your digital distractions turn away from you.


"This is What You Want... This is What You Get"

Re: Where should we migrate to?

First of all, no good news to wake up to. I've been lurking and writing on IMDB since I was old enough to use a computer. Alas, the world seems to be moving on even here in the Keystone world, and I must admit that I've read some shít on IMDB that have absolutely no place on a movie message board. I'm looking at this particular board too when I say this.

Having said that, thank you Captain Wesker for starting this thread! I haven't been contributing much lately due to a busy personal life, but I've been reading along and would hate to fall out of touch with you and all of the people you've listed. That would be pretty goddamn horrific before the movie is even released and possibly 1 day after the trailer comes out! I think we've built a nice little community here despite the many trolls, haters and racists flooding this board.

Unfortunately, I don't think too highly of facebook and have thankfully eliminated my account some time ago. But how hard is it to create a forum for Dark Tower fans from scratch anyway, where people could use the same avatars? Just in case, I will clarify this with a friend of mine who is extremely well-versed in that technical kind of internet stuff. I would also offer to help in any way I could if someone else has an idea. This has to happen fast if they are serious about the February 20th deadline.

I've been toying with the following idea too, maybe as a complimentary thing to wherever we migrate in the end. I know this is a bit on the personal side, but why not bring our ka-tet a little closer together. Most people have a smartphone these days, so I would offer to create a whatsapp group for those who are interested. I think it's a good way to share pictures and thoughts about the movie. Anyone who is interested can PM me their phone number and I will get this thing going, you can trust me to handle it discreetly. As a complimentary thing to whatever solution we come up with. Who is interested?

Re: Where should we migrate to?

Here, just make a The Dark Tower topic, and we all can talk about the movie here. Just found this, and I'm sharing this all over imdb now

http://imdb2.freeforums.net

Re: Where should we migrate to?

i've registered, the only problem imo is that without a dark tower folder/sub folder, threads could get out of hand. A "Stephen King Adaptations" folder would be sufficient...? I don't know where to ask admin if this could happen though.

Was looking forward to talking this movie with all of you

This is horribly depressing. The message boards had a few trolls yeah, but the level of it was nothing like Twitter, or YouTube, or Reddit, or god help you 4chan. I could post any question I had, and 99% of the time I'd get an answer. Just the other day, I posed a question on a post from like 2010, not expecting an actual response, and I got one in less than 24 hours. I believe it was for When the Wind Blows, asking if it said what year the movie took place in.

This site has made me laugh, it has made me angry, it has been a trip. I was looking forward to all the rage and love for this movie in particular, and because IMDB's owners are too lazy to moderate trolls (we did fine for years without moderating), we're all getting shut down. As far as where to migrate to...I guess Reddit. It's going to be more troll infested than IMDB ever was. Your posts will get hidden and deleted if you don't have an opinion more than like five people disagree with.

Honest question though about this: What reason even is there for IMDB to exist without the message boards?

This is so lame. Goddamn it.

I thought I could paint it red, but I couldn't find enough goats.

You can join us during the exodus to a new board .

Re: Was looking forward to talking this movie with all of you

Migrating to another place is inevitable, but it's not going to be the same. It's not just The Dark Tower discussion I'm losing here. I like some obscure stuff, and here was the only place I knew of where I could get talking on it.

I thought I could paint it red, but I couldn't find enough goats.

Re: Where should we migrate to?

Thankee Sai.

I don't always contribute, but I've been keeping up with this board on a daily basis. It's been fun and hopefully we can all agree on a new place to settle into. I hope for a friendly to use forum layout, far away from social media.

I always thoroughly enjoyed clicking the "ignore button" on the trolls, racists and overly negative people (we all know them). For the rest of you, I've enjoyed your discussions, ideas, theories, feedback and outlook.

IMDB has clicked the master "ignore button".
