To all and sundry: I haven't enough hands to cover my embarrassment: it was the other board - the IMDBv2 one - that went live seven years ago. This one started barely a year ago, when the other one briefly vanished. This makes me feel much younger than I was made to feel yesterday. Sorry for having prematurely aged you. Glad to hear it got better. |

Actually, the V1 board (here) has also been on line since December of 2017 ... it started in about the same time frame as the exodus from the closed, boarded up and burned IMDb message boards. The influx of banned and displaced refugees from IMDB_V2 is what caused the April, 2023 population swell. No need to feel embarrassed ...you have more important things ...like fer instance, incredible amounts of valuable and appreciated movie facts and figures and details to keep track of. Nothing more welcome than rescue flying in on the wings of Pippen. |

Grayson in Till the Clouds Roll By
 Yep..that looks more like it ! Doghouse6 Couldn't make out the guy in the clip. This still image reveals it to be (I think) Tony Martin. Ya think? |

Time sure goes by in the blink of an eye; disappearing like smoke through a keyhole, seems like just the other day this place opened for business Doghouse. Happy Anniversary.
 As you may be aware by this hour, the IMDBv2 board and this one, which has been in operation about six weeks shy of one year, became muddled in my mind, so "just the other day" is about six years closer to being accurate than I was. Just the same and whether here or there, the cocktail hour is approaching where I am, so I'll be hoisting one to you* for all the stimulating posts and will look forward to many more. *I can't guarantee, however, that I'll be as dressed-up as Sam is above. |

I love talking movies with everyone on the imdb offshoots. Here's to another 7 years (and more).
Joe Cocker _ 'With A Little Help From My Friends'
Life can be cruel, but perhaps we can get by with a little help from our friends, until knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door (time waits for no man) ...
'Feelin' Alright' - Lulu

Thanks for the song, Rufus-T . Foreigner was one of my late hubby's favorite groups. I've been having fun trying to ID the movies some of the clips are from: Virginia O'Brien in Till the Clouds Roll By, Bette Davis and Leslie Howard in Of Human Bondage, Fred Astaire in Royal Wedding, Ronald Reagan, Olivia deHavilland and Errol Flynn in Santa Fe Trail, Janet Gaynor and Fredric March in A Star Is Born, Kirk Douglas and Laraine Day in My Dear Secretary, Gower Champion and Cyd Charisse in Till the Clouds Roll By and Spencer Tracy in Father's Little Dividend. Couldn't get the ones with Steve Cochran, James Stewart, David Niven, Lillian Gish, Martha Scott (maybe Our Town?), Kathryn Grayson, or whomever the couple in the last clip were. But it kept me busy! I used to have a thread back in the IMDb CFB asking people to identify the movies in the video. I still have the screen shots. Maybe I will revise the thread here.
I like many of the Foreigner songs too. This may be my second favorite to this one which stays on the same Valentine theme:
I also like this acoustic guitar cover of the song.

This one started barely a year ago, when the other one briefly vanished. But most if not all of us here came from there, so the sentiments remain the same. Now, pardon me while I try to recover some remnant of aplomb.  Not a big deal, and no need to knock yourself. This is a celebration of us as a group through the 7 years rather than for the message board itself. Many of us still go back and forth between the two boards. |

I had that problem too, when the other board came back up after I'd signed up for this one. Something about a Proboards Global Account that I never quite understood. Is that the roadblock you're hitting? In my case, it turned out to be merely that I had one email address when I registered at the other one, and another when I registered here (although with the same password for both). |

I don't know if still the same admin. The guy even argue with a user at one of the board. The admin here is much friendlier. |

J Carter would start an argument if he was alone in an elevator ... just to keep in practice. |

But while I have no personal issue with V2, I think the atmosphere's nicer here anyway. |
