I agree with Charles in that he doesn't want Animation Nation to become the default forums for Cartoon Brew.

Dangit! I did a search of thread titles for "Pirate"! Not "POTC"! And then I went and did the same thing in my title! Must have Pirates on the brain for some reason...

Disney will still be making CG films. They'll just be making them in a different building! Even if Disney was doing both in the same building there would probably be some separation, so I don't see this as a major deal. Maybe this would make more sense of you started thinking of Pixar as WDFA-Emeryv...

JK Rowling has revealed the title of Book 7 in a puzzle on her website!

I'm not simply going to ignore topic because I disagree with them, that's not me. I'll voice my opinion on something and you all are welcome to disagree with me. That is admirable in a discussion where there are issues being debated and people are discussing the pros and cons of things. That isn't ...

I don't think he is trolling, because his point is probably shared with the majority of people outside this thread! Though he probably didn't make the point in the best way. And perhaps some people are a little defensive when an "outsider" comes in and seems to be making fun of them. So my suggestio...

I guess it depends on your definition of spam. The spammers we banned that actually posted were posting things like "Click this link for the finest jewelry at the lowest prices"! Someone who is just annoying but on topic gets a lot more leeway.

Warn them and then ban them! We've been lucky in that that has not been a big issue here. We've only had to do that maybe two or three times in the past few years. The spambots have been our main foe!

Here is the modification I made to our forums that seems to be stopping the spambots. http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=435702 To see it in action log out, click register, and note that there is a new field that requires you to enter a code of my choosing before your registration is process...

We don't mind non-posting members either. But the problem is the bots made up over 90% of our non-posting members! Go look at our member list and sort it DESCENDING. Every name on that first page registered after I purged the membership. How many of those 50 are actually real people? Three of four i...

I hope it isn't true!

Did you see Josh's report of American Dog this weekend? He broke it first over at Animated Views: http://animated-views.com/2006/chris-sa ... rican-dog/

Oh how I wish I were exaggerating! After beginning with the just plain awful Moulin Rouge intro, we move in the March Of The Penguins documentary section before heading to some 70's type high school graduation type movie! Then it starts going down hill!

Just the film makers! That is another film this one is trying to be.

That's the point I made earlier. None of you will have the same reaction I did because you are now expecting it. I went in expecting the cute little movie we've seen in the ads for months. Again, my point. They purposely are deceiving us in the ads. If they promoted this for what it actually is not ...
