View Full Version : Outdated Homepage

I recently browsing over the homepage of MovieForums.com and saw that many of it's top storys and reviews where outdated.Movies like SAW,The Incredibles,and Shark Tale seem to be the newest reviews right now and have been for a weeks maybe even months now.
I also saw links to the "new" trailers of "Meet the Fockers" and "The Village"."The Village" trailer should've been put away for months now and so should "the Fockers".Replace them with something new like the "Fantastic Four" teaser or the "WAR OF THE WORLDS" teaser.
Anyways,I was just making a kind suggestion that would help make the website a little more enjoyable and hip :D

All I want to know is how the hell do you have more rep points than I do and I've been here longer than you?

I've been here longer than you?What's that got to do with it? Are we all supposed to give you rep for just stickin' around?

No I was just wondering. I must not be popular enough. Oh well.

I really hope people don't give you rep for that post. I know that's what you want, even if you say you don't.
People need to stop letting this rep system get to them. After all, they're just little green dots (or a little green bar).

I think the homepage is just fine Punker69. i mean what does the cover or a site do. it might actually keep people out. the last thing we need is a buncha new noobs joining becuase our site looks good and then new coming back. now i am a noob in a way. only beings here for a short amount of time compared to alot of people but i come regularly.

Whats wrong with noobs?Everyone has been a noobie at what time,thats what forms a successful forum.

What I meant to say is that is better that we have noobs trickeling (sorry for spelling) in at a slow rate than a boom of em because our site is the best. There would too much confusion with too many noobs. I don't even know half of the people who have joined this forum since Christmas. I think the front page is like a warning sign. It keeps people that will just post on here for the hell of it off of our forums. It makes since. Would you rather have a constant flow of new people, making up new names that make an introduction thread and then leave or have one or two come in a week and get to know them and see if you like them? That's really what I was thinking when I posted my previous statement.

If the noobs realized that this was a really good website then maybe they wouldnt want to leave after a few days.A place where they can get the latest reviews and hottest new trailers should be the attraction and the edge.Not new Shamalayn polls and reviews on old pixar films.

We know it's outdated, okay?
Yoda has many sites that he's created and maintains, this isn't the only one. Too bad that the site's front page suffers, but the strength of this site is, and always will be, its community of regular members.
Quit stressing something that WE ARE ALL aware of.
Jrs, you still haven't answered my question i asked awhile ago. How did you get full access to the blog? How did you get it started?
Basically it's with Chris' help. He is the one that brought up the idea for it to me. Knowing that I was the type of person who brings the news and info the ya'll, he assigned me to do this.
I actually do not have full access to the blog. I post yet Chris does the rest such as fix the technical things (problems) and add ons and such. Although yes....I kinda own it mostly by posting in it.

That's cool. Since you do such a fine job with the blog, mabe he can also allow you to help out with the Box Office and Dvd boxes above too. ;D

Where is "the blog" located?
Where is "the blog" located?There are links to recent blog entries on the right-hand side of the forum main page, and a big red button that says "BLOG" on it at the top of every page, just to the right of the logo.

Yeah i know but wouldn't it be nice to have your own little area for it. :cool:

I have asked Chris to seperate sections. News, DVD, Trailers, Box Office in the past. It would be nice, I am not the one unfortunately who could move and rearrange. :(

There needs to be something concrete on the main pages though.Something the readers dont have to search for because it's already there.Why even have those section on the top of the page if your not going to use them?
when i first came to mofo i was all obsessed with getting rep but now i dont give a damn.
I kinda forgot it exists lol. Before I was like give me rep, must have rep! Then I realized I've never made a post that contributed to anything.
