This isn't exactly a dictatorship. Like you said, it's a forum. But how difficult is it to stay on-topic? Nobody seems to give a sh*t (or it would appear), and the mods are obviously too frightened to intervene. So it's just me here, attempting to keep things on track.
If you want to discuss the SPECTRE car chase, that's great. Just do so in the appropriate thread. Normally this wouldn't call for such an authoritarian attitude. But, as many are able to tell, this thread already contains an abundance of horse manure. So I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from here.
That car chase is awesome I remember being in the theatre and just being placed into the super intense chase right up it was great
It's quite difficult to stay on topic when there is still virtually no news in regards to the next movie.
And for your information, I'm not looking to discuss anything. I was just making a general comment regarding a good scene from a recent Bond film, that features Daniel Craig. If people respond, great. If not, I don't care.
At least I didn't start talking about Ian Fleming or pre DC Bond films...
People just need to calm down. As soon as B25 news reveals itself, any "off-topic" posts/discussions get swept away anyway.
If I said I hope they make a car chase in Bond 25 that is similar to the one in QoS would it make you happier?
I get it. There's no news. It's frustrating. That doesn't mean that you're obligated to post on this topic during periods of dry-spell. It'd be the equivalent of me dropping by the Last Movie You Watched thread to ramble on about how much I loathe Bill Conti's FYEO score.
In bond 25
@MrKissKissBangBang 13 and up, if I'm not mistaken. How come?
Yes, you got us. We're all freaking out over this thread. In what way would you like a mod or mods to intervene @jake24?
In reality this thread should've been locked long ago. With little to no news concerning Bond 25. But rather than be a dictatorship, we allow the thread to remain open, and hope that those that do wish to keep it on track, or post here, remind those that are going off topic not to do so.
With so many new posts each day it's near impossible to read every post made across the forum. If you have found members are persistently going of topic, then flag them, and a mod will deal with it.
I'm certainly not the one most bothered by the incessant unrelated chatter that plagues this 654 page thread, it's those who see an influx of new comments only to discover a debate about American politics.
At the end of the day, it's a forum. But it would be nice if people can show a little decency, making an effort to keep this place tidy. And no, I don't think locking it is the answer.
We could delete none relevant posts but that would take forever.
So all I can say to everyone is, please be aware we have threads for everything including individual appreciation threads for all the actors in the 'Actors' sub section. Please please try and use the relevant threads where you can and keep this clear for Bond 25 news.
I´ve read all of Fleming´s novels, at least half of them at least two times. So believe me, I like them. I just find them dragging here and there, but let that not disturb your joy ;-).
But the boyish charme exuded by Connery and to acertain degree by Moore, and their playfulness and emphasis on joy of life, those things are barely to be found in Fleming´s novels. And the introverted parts that are such integral part to the novels are hardly to be found at all in any of the first 14 Bond films.
1. Have a B25 news thread that is a discussion thread for everyone to post in.
2. Have another B25 news thread that is ONLY the news stories about B25 and nothing else. Only give trusted individuals who can manage the news stories access to post. No one else can write anything in this thread and that way it won't be clogged with garbage, thus ending the ridiculous amount of bitching that goes on about how "I came back to find 325 new posts and no news. What a waste of my time." No one forces anyone to sit through reading hundreds of posts. You are in effect clogging it up even more.
I enjoy reading the discussion and people's ideas about B25. It's entertainment for me, but I realize that every single post isn't going to be a groundbreaking revelation. I get the fact that some people would just like the main stories and not have to sift through 100s of comments. This way you have the best of both worlds.
I don't expect every post in this thread to be groundbreaking. All I ask is that you remain on topic.
Yeah agree here you are doing a fine job @jake24 the real culprit is is the bond people for giving us nothing in a year and a forth away from spectre barber better give us something this is getting into insanity territory :-SS ;)
That's a win/win for everyone.

Expect Daniel to be faced with some harsh questions regarding Bond when he promotes it.
