Hi Admin , Would you please turn the master list of Movie Quote/Star Trek: TOS threads into a sticky thread at the top of Film General? There are now one hundred and twenty-five Movie Quote/ Star Trek: TOS threads, by ten different authors, with more quote threads to come. With the large number of quote threads, it would be very helpful to have the master list pinned to the top of the page, like a table of contents. Thank you.

Wouldn't the Star Trek board be a better fit for that? I can't be playing favorites, don'cha know. I doubt it would be long before everyone in FG will want their favorites pinned...

People could just bookmark the thread if they're interested.

No the Star Trek board would not be a better fit, as 125 different movies, of different genres, and different decades, are being quoted. And all the threads are in Film General. These threads I'm highlighting are the work of ten different authors, and even more participants. Furthermore, an ongoing poll shows these threads are currently the fourth favorite subject type on Film General.

What are the top three favorite subject types?

The idea is pick a movie, any movie, and start a thread where each post consists of a memorable quote from that movie. Then you illustrate the quote with a picture usually, but not always from Star Trek, and hilarity ensues. Here's an example - someone starts a quote thread for Jaws (1975) and then they post this: "You're gonna need a bigger boat." The top three subject types are: 1. Polls 2. Post a 'still' pic or clip of last movie etc. (tie) 2. List your Fave Movies (tie) Movie Quote/Star Trek: TOS threads, or "Star Trek funny captions", as they are called in the poll, are one vote away from being tied for second place with the other subjects.

I find it interesting that polls are #1 considering that I just removed the Polls board due to inactivity. I understand the concept. I don't understand why it shouldn't be in the Star Trek board since that's the common denominator. But you know what? I guess I don't need to. Thread pinned.

alpha128 Would you please be kind enough to post a note (perhaps in the sticky) or a thread with some info as to where one can find the Star Trek scenes to use as answers. Congrats on the pinning !

Not everyone on the Film General board is interested in this Star Trek name game. That sticky thread belongs on the Star Trek board in my opinion.

Not everyone on the Film board is interested in this childish Star Trek name game. That sticky thread is an eye sore and those threads are off topic spam. No need to be condescending. It's all in fun and some of them are very witty. Also they're not technically off-topic given that they're posted in Film General. However, I'm still on the fence about whether or not the Star Trek board would be a better fit. Maybe instead of asking why it shouldn't be there, I should be asking why it must be in FG...

The sticky thread acts as a table of contents for other threads that exist in Film General. You wouldn't publish the table of contents for one book in a completely different book.

It doesn't matter where any threads or posts are moved; the links don't change. Even if I were to move just the table of contents, the links would still go to the threads in Film General...or wherever they may be. Don't get me wrong, I was happy to pin your thread, but it can just easily be pinned in a Star Trek board where (in theory, anyway) Star Trek fans would be.

I just took a look at the first three pages of the Star Trek board and only one of the ten regular quote thread creators has created a thread over there. In addition, some of the regular quote thread creators and posters have indicated that they are not Star Trek fans. There are two separate audiences here, the Movie Quote audience and the Star Trek audience and they are not always the same.

AdminAs an occasional player of the games here's my 2 cents. The game is for quotes from many different movies being matched with images which may or may not be from Star Trek soooooo for this player anyway … the Film General pinning is logically the place one would look to see what movies have been done and are available to still play ON Film General. MOST of the replies are Star Trek Based but not all. For some it's a MOVIE FAN game with Star Trek overtones and for others it's a STAR TREK game with other movie links.
Would it work to pin to Star Trek AND on Film General. asking this of alpha128 as well.
no change from the 2 cents needed !

If I moved them all, it would be ten out of ten.

no change from the 2 cents needed ! I'm confused. Is the game not called "Movie Quotes: Star Trek"? And are you suggesting that it should be in Film General because of a few off-topic posts? I think I'm missing something here...

no change from the 2 cents needed ! Although I am personally both a movie fan and a Star Trek fan, I would say for most people it's more of MOVIE FAN game. And I would bet you that the posters on the Star Trek board don't even these threads exist! I recently mentioned these threads over on the Classic TV board and no one knew about them: Indeed we do! It seems that many of you are unaware of, and would be interested in, the Movie Quote/Star Trek: TOS threads over in Film General. There are 122 such threads, and I will be updating the master list linked to above when we hit 125. I created the latest quote thread, which is for "This Is Spinal Tap" (1984). youre right I was unaware of it. I’ll have to check that out more. That quote thread is good stuff lol
