That's a great line! You made good use of it in your username, I'd say. My favourite line in the franchise is:
"... the smoke [came] out between his teeth in a luxurious hiss. That was his 'Enemy Appreciation'. Now, who was this enemy?"
From Dr. No, the novel. There are a lot that spring to mind, actually, but that one always comes in first. A bit of a mouthful for a username, unfortunately!
Oh, just hitmen, members of terrorist organizations, druglords, even a former friend.
Welcome aboard, @KillsProfessionals! :)
Thank you! Glad to be here.
...but I checked this thread for the first couple of years (of five) since I myself joined (i.e. after early 2017), and I found it sort of depressing that quite a lot of new members never really reappeared in the discussions. There are some that were welcomed abundantly, yet ever since 2017 never decided to post in more than two-digit numbers, some even not at all after their initial introduction. Of course it's everyone's own decision, and I've been reducing my own contributions a lot by sheer numbers (mainly because I got tired of the James Bond Quotes contest which ended up in the same places all the time, limiting my fun), but why does anyone who chooses to join here stop posting after a single- or two-digit number of posts? And what could we do about it?
It's all about community, interest and activity. I've joined forums throughout the years where I gave up after a few posts; could be countless reasons why some choose to introduce themselves and drop off quickly, be it boredom or lack of interest, perceived hostility from other members, etc.
I expect at least some got tired of the wave of complaints on NTTD and the Craig films and moved on. Maybe they'll return at some point.
A cycle, indeed. I saw one or two longtime members I so desperately missed return during that time, only to disappear just as quickly. Then, of course, there are the countless new members who joined to share in the excitement (and likely hundreds who were just trying to nab the leaked Zimmer score with no further involvement). I'm glad some managed to stick it all out and are still posting today.
And yes, a mixture of those who loved it and didn't want to read the negativity (and vice versa) makes sense for their departure.
I find this place to be quite an unwelcoming one, personally. It’s why my posting and participation has been extremely limited of late (something only I would really notice, of course).
I thought maybe it was a me problem (and to an extent I think it is), so I’ve been taking this break, but it’s interesting you’re noticing this with new members as well.

I've been visiting this site since 2020, but I'm hesitant to join.
Regarding my favorite bond, maybe Daniel Craig, I like them all.
My favorite bond film is On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
Thank you for welcoming me @Agent_99 , I hope everyone will accept me here.
I'm having an anxiety. 😁
Do you have any female fans here aside from me?
Not many, but there are a few. @Agent_99 who answered you above is one of them.
We do have a few female members here, but always nice to have more.
Hope you enjoy your time here. And no need to worry, we’re a pretty friendly bunch ;)
Indeed! Agent 99 is a female spy in the TV show Get Smart, but people who don't get the reference often don't realise I'm a woman :)
