Not really, I didn't visit any forums that I might call major. It was mid-to-small ones, for games, music, a local forum (i.e. for Croatia), that I visit - and they haven't closed down, though some have become extremely slow.St. Gloede wrote: ↑August 25th, 2020, 6:47 amWelcome, eutow!
Were you on any of the major forums that closed down?

Welcome back! Nice to see you again.Mulholland wrote: ↑October 15th, 2020, 12:12 pm Hi, this is more a re-introduction as haven't really been active on the forums for... wow pretty much 4 years. Back on the old zetaboards.
Not sure how much I'll be posting - it's been a whole since I've been on any forums - but I remembered having good times on here so rather than just lurk I thought it would be good to re-introduce myself.

Despite starting the journey back in 2003, I am still making my way through the 1001 film list. But I am finally in the position to finish it in 2-3 years, which is exciting.
Hope to see you around![]()
I was looking into that during my last update - at the moment the points are still in a position where a game could enter the top 2000 based on performing extremely well on two 'all time' lists. Once that mathematically cannot happen, we'll expand
Promoting stuff that only makes a handful lists is also important =)Mulholland wrote: ↑October 15th, 2020, 11:30 pm Okay I'm feeling all warm inside now. Thanks everyone

Some of my favourite films are Providence (1977), Spirit of the Beehive, Madame de.., Les Vampires, Tokyo Story, Mirror, Berlin Alexanderplatz, Celine and Julie go Boating, L'Eclisse and Chinatown.
Really wish I'd found this forum sooner, anyway I'm glad to be here and look forward tostealing all your film knowledge for world dominationdiscussing cinema with everyone here.
I was dissatisfied with the films of the early 2010s, they didn't click with me for some reason, one of the few brightspots left was one of my favourite directors Martin Scorsese. Loved Raging Bull, King of Comedy, Taxi Driver and Goodfellas, even his subpar films have some interesting things going for them. "Wolf of Wall Street" felt like a one-dimensional rehash of his rise-and-fall movies aimed at younger people (a demographic I no longer belong to). All the partying and debauchery scenes went on far too long and got really boring really fast, characters were flat and uninteresting too, I didn't find it funny either, just a monotonous drag.Quartoxuma wrote: ↑January 16th, 2021, 2:27 pm Hey RolandKirkSunglasses,
what about 'Wolf of Wall Street' made you stay away from other 2010s releases?
Also, welcome to the forum!
You assume correctly. Not many musicians can play the recorder with their nose or play 3 saxophones at the same time, being blind makes this performance all the more insane.

Hi, Josh!Quartoxuma wrote: ↑January 15th, 2021, 6:14 pm Anyways, I plan to stay around this time and thought it might be reasonable to reintroduce myself. I changed my ICM name to 'Joschi' where you can find me now. Either name is fine, though I go by Josh in real life.
