VOTE!

Vote here if you would like to have some sort of system on dvdtown where we could contact eachother about MOVIE TRADES.

Sounds good to me.

I think what would work is if we had the ability to send "private" messages to each other.

HENNING???



That might take some time. In the meantime, you could go to Rotten Tomatoes and start a free account. The forums in RT will allow you to send private messages to each other. Once you have your free account setup, start a thread called "DVDTOWN Traders" say in the Genereal Discussion Forum. Come back here and give us the link -- *Note: peeps that don't have a free account setup on RT will need to do so to respond.

It might sound like a roundabout way, but it's really easy to setup a free account there (it's not rocket science kids). As long as it's a thread only we respond to, RT dosen't give a crap, so that would be my suggestion and I know it would work. You might even place the thread in the DVD forum on RT, which hardly anyone ever hits.

Ok, I already did it. Go here:

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/vine/showthread.php?p=13145413#post13145413

Enjoy

PS: When you get there, look for the "PROFILE" button on any members message and from there a window will pop open where you will find a link to send a private message. Once you sing up there, you will need to remember to view your private messages.

Also, to make this all work, remember from time-to-time to "BUMP" this thread and the thread on RT to keep things active.

Again, enjoy!

Tim,
Yeah, we could do it that way. We could also use myspace. But wouldnt it be nicer here. It would be like the "my movies" thing already on here. But "movies for trade" instead. I dunno, i'm not a computer wiz or anything, but I think I read that John has brought something like this up to Henning...

This vote will let them know just how interested we are in this sort of thing. And if they can make it happen,"great", if not, then we use other methods.

That would be cool.
It would be cool to have a "Who's online feature"!

Note to all you guys,

Yeah, it would be nice to have all those things, but you all need to understand that Henning started this site with very fun and heartful intenssions -- yet at some point it grew big and got away from him. Yeah, the message board is certainly behind the times, but as it turns out Henning has a hurricane of a message board to manage and he probably never could have expected it. He's a busy man and he has a small crew to handle the expectations we demand. So, yeah, we will need to go on a roundabout way to make this a reality for now. Nevertheless, don't harp on Henning and crew as I know what it's like in the IT industry. It's a LOT of work to make the simple things happen, so don't count on any of these things happening for a while here. No offense to Henning as I am very clear what it takes to make things a reality, so, for now, we'll have to jump to other avenues.

It's just a vote TIM. Geyod.

I'm not saying "Let's get out the pitchforks"

I know, dude, I'm not trying to go overboard, just trying to give an avenue.

Very funny...

Oh don't deny what you do daily here on the Msg Bd Tim (and Eddie too). It's your 'hobby'.

Do you have any suggested topics that I could write up, so that then you could 'go overboard' on (hehe), with 'spew salad' pics? Just a thought.
