oh, you mean just wait for october when the the 2nd season of the cartoon starts and the flood gates will be opened to the screaming masses of new members? THAT plan?
Actually up to dozen people registered since the premeire but they were deemed not worthy. For example, one poster who got through asked why aren't there new episodes for three weeks and another had the first post of "can you reupload this to rapidshare?"
Furthermore up to a dozen somewhat regular posters were given tickets due to extreme leeching from the Cargo forums (that is not bumping posts you download from or even sharing links).

Nobody likes this forum anymore. It used to be the center of SW spoilers and major leaks circa 2004-2005. That was when I first noticed it, like most everyone else I'm sure. The SW Trilogy DVD changes screenshots, videos and sound clips. Then it was the Revenge of the Sith images from Spoileriffic and others, photo scans and video links.
...
Not to mention sharing material from SW.com's Hyperspace back when it offered anything worthwhile. But that was a MUCH more exciting time in an era that may never be topped for us geeks.
But really, aside from the sharing of various leaks and spoilers from OTHER sites in the movie forum and an occasional new episode of the cartoon, what else is there to discuss? Movies since 2005 have sucked. Indiana Jones is now lame as shit, dumb forgettable summer action flicks like Transformers, G.I. Joe and Star Trek have raped childhoods, James Cameron's Avatar looks utterly "m-e-h", Spielberg is lazy, Zemeckis is trapped in a CGI cartoon world, super hero movies are the same old shit every damn time.
A few things.
Clone Wars CGI + Live-Action Series forums:
The new cartoon doesn't doesn't "do it" for a lot of fans but it "does it" for me. According to the download stats on the MF megaupload account - each file has literally 1000s of downloads. Sure some of those downloads are from lurkers who copypaste links to other forums but still impressive. In fact this past weekend MF got 1000 unique hits to the forum even though there was no new episode this week.
The bulk of our Live-Action Series forum is news articles but I edit them into "reports" which are then copy/pasted verbatim on other sites. Again there is not much going with the LAS for now but I am interested in every little detail of it.
By the way here is

's TV forums:
http://boards.theforce.net/liveactionclonewarsclassics/b10467
While there maybe a lot of posts, they are nonsensical ones dealing with how Lucas is not following the previous non-Lucas authored Expanded Universe novels, how Clone Wars CGI rips off
The Dark Knight movie, in addition to
several social chat threads mainly frequented by moderators.
HyperSpace:
When it came to HyperSpace - MF.com never posted anything from there publicly. If anything we posted spoiler images, sounds, and video publicly before it appeared on HyperSpace.
Movie Spoilers:
While the majority of spoilers in that subforum originated on other sites, we do get semi-exclusives in the forum of the occasional script leak and when our members see movies early. The forum was a major source of traffic both in terms of posting and new members. Unfortunately with the reaction to recent franchise movie sequels (Indiana Jones, Transformers, Spider-Man, etc), MF may not be able to rely on that for new traffic.
Cargo Forums:
We may have reached a saturation point with the Cargo Forum i.e. members getting all the movie scores, video, images, and books they need. Also with MF's restrictive admittance there are few people to download our uploads. Still it would be nice if the six people who downloaded my
Star Wars In Concert HD video posted in that thread
Again I'm not uptight about posting or activity here. In fact I'm glad MF didn't hop on the social network faggotry that has come and gone. Another thing I am thankful there are no "hilarious" email forward-level comedy here known as "memes" - a term which in itself reeks of faggotry. Nothing says creepy fagola like a aging nerd using 4chanisms like "moar", "epic", "win" or "fail" in an attempt to be cool (or posting image macros and photoshops for that matter).
One thing I am uptight about is MF.com's design. As I stated previously a new design is being worked on. A design I will feel comfortable with promoting MF on
non-Star Wars sites and forums. I appreciate everyone who has come here for the past
SIX YEARS.
