Classic Film : Where to go now? FG subReddit Invitation

Where to go now? FG subReddit Invitation

Hello Classic Film Board!

From time to time I would drop in on the CFB, so I just wanted to invite anyone who's interested over to a new subReddit page that was created as a replacement for the Film General board.

At the moment we've got over 200 subscribers, and it's becoming a reasonably active site even before the shutdown of IMDb, with over 150 threads being created in just a week.

And I know what you're thinking: "FG is a cesspool!" Well, you're not wrong. It has been pretty troll-infested for quite a while. That's the best thing about this new subReddit, it's moderated! At the moment we have 5 longtime, trustworthy FGers as mods, and we're banning trolls and removing any abusive comments that get reported by users.

It's been a pretty pleasant place to discuss film so far.

So please, come and take a look at how the forum is shaping up, and I encourage you to subscribe.

Glad you posted this here, Fed. I've been meaning to thank you on FG for setting it up. I'll look in from time to time, and don't know when but eventually sign up and join some discussions. You've done a good job.

Put it on a tripod!

Someone posted this on FG:

They could barely moderate themselves let along a site. Here is why:
TG, the guy who has been riding the cock of Nolan haters for the last 3 years in the fragile hope it would make them less hostile toward him. And fedrev, who is closer to a somewhat educated, but emotionally unbalanced pc warrior than an actual socialist. And algorth-1, who is another Special Snowflake and a snobbish cike. I cant take any of them seriously, to be honest.

Sounds like the critic is a left winger himself so how could someone more moderate or right leaning get along there, like at all?

So the paragraph following this statement is NOT a quotation? If so, then those words are your own.

If it IS a quotation then how can you fail to identify the source?

There is a faction of trolls and racists who aren't happy about losing their ability to spew their bile unfettered, and they've been campaigning heavily against the FG Reddit in the hope of convincing as many as possible to relocate to a new forum where they can continue their obnoxious trolling, but this shouldn't be of concern to responsible users. The FG Reddit is a place for film discussion and the proof is in the pudding. Take a look and decide for yourself.

Re: Where to go now? FG subReddit Invitation

The last time we spoke there were three moderators. Now there are five. You should name them and not expect us to take your word about their character.

Ok. Funny I've been a regular on FG for years but only recognize half. Could be they post on select threads like those labelled CUM SWAP (I wish I was kidding).

Re: Where to go now? FG subReddit Invitation

Do you recognise ajlex84 ? Is he an FG regular?

Re: Where to go now? FG subReddit Invitation

I don't, sorry.

You must not have been paying attention.

The mods are all long-time, well known users.

Me (ajlex is the account I created the subreddit with. In order to create a subreddit your account has to be over 30 days old and have a certain level of Karma. So I created the subreddit with my old account, and then created a new account for my known persona, Fed_Rev)

Re: Where to go now? FG subReddit Invitation

Me and Fedrev aren't what you'd call bros but he's been reasonable over there.

Re: Where to go now? FG subReddit Invitation

I hope some of the more entertaining trolls/satirists/those light of heart (call them what you will) such as jmusacha, moonunit, drystyx, and others are tolerated over there as long as things remain above board. I hope the subreddit doesn't prove to be overly censorious. I'll look in from time to time to see how things pan out.

That's all, folks!

Re: Where to go now? FG subReddit Invitation

I know a couple of these moderators from FG and I can vouch for them more than I can for some of these other sites. I'll be keeping an eye on this site.
