Hi everyone! I really like the 'top 10' polls, they make for some very interesting reading, so I thought they warranted their own board. Let me know if you or . Thanks.

I strongly prefer them in Film General. They’ll be easier to miss now and neglected.

Be cautious of over-tweaking it. :) The original use of the film board (when there was only one) was reviews - watch a film, post a review. I have noticed that reviews now disappear off the front page quickly, so those interested in reviews were not being as well served. Meanwhile, I imagine some are not interested in top 10 german westerns of 1909, etc. I was/am trying to keep a happy medium for both audiences. Maybe Film Reviews could be the separate board while Film General is for polls and general chat?

I prefer them in film general too, i dont think he board is busy enough to split content in two

There are already two Review threads: one on the former Film General and another on Classic Film. Both have something of a different flavor. I post weekly on both. I will be hosting the Classic thread for the month of June. I believe that both are important to these boards but both, I believe, will be threatened by one Board where individual reviews and weekly diaries of viewings can be posted.
The Film General / Classic Film duo have existed in peaceful co-existence for the entirety of this new millennium (beginning with the database boards) but that delicate balance is now on the edge. That would be regrettable.

Small aside, but I never have the time or inclination for thinking up top 10s. Always thing 5 is more doable.

politicidal1, movielover, Flying Monkeys, dsbeadle, mikef6, yggdrasil, Prior to my changes a couple of days ago, the boards were structured as requested by recently registered users. - I thought bumping Best/Worse up the list and using it for polls would make sense (seems like the ideal fit), but I'm picking up resistance to that (no problem with that). Have to ask - what is Best/Worst for then? - Should I just set them back to how they were?

I used to use best and worst gif my weekly watch threads but I do it on film general now so it doesn’t get much use. You could probably ditch it.
