No, I meant that there used to be a sub board within the sub board where people could have general discussions about movie franchises that didnโt have their own boards.

A lot of information that was on the other boards that are now gone!!! I think the popular movie franchises is also in reference to the amount of posts, DCEU, MCU, SW even X-Men on their own produce a lot more discussions than most of the other boards combined, those posts are still accessible they just got moved to the general film board.
Though that's such a broad scope maybe it should have sub boards for genre's atleast, that way if you want to talk Terminator you only need to wade through either the Sci-Fi or Action film discussions rather than EVERY film discussion.
Actually do these boards allow topics to be tagged so they can be easily searched? instead of just text you actually tag a discussion as Terminator, Jurassic Park or LOTR so even if the title is as generic as "What did you think of the ending?" if it's tagged Predator you know ok it's about one of those films atleast, rather than it be a crapshoot of ok what one of 10000 films could this be in reference to.

I also removed the genre boards due to inactivity, and there were a lot of them. What you're suggesting was tried for over two years and failed miserably.

Ah ok, I was just thinking if you condensed but separated it may be easier, just because now instead of say the Action genre having to share the discussions over 4-5 "popular" franchise boards having those boards all on that single genres board as well as every other action film it would be a viable enough board.
But oh well if people wanna talk about Predator so bad they just need to label their topics clearly as "PREDATROR - insert topic here" so people can atleast search for Predator in the title to find those discussions.

I'm pretty sure I don't understand much of what you just said, but I'll attempt a response anyway... The boards you mentioned - DCEU, MCU, and X-Men - seem to work just fine without sub-boards for every individual movie, or separate genres for them. Star Wars had boards for every individual movie, but a large percentage of the posts were in Star Wars General and one other sub-board. Those that had sub-boards didn't really use them, and those that never had them never needed or wanted them. As for genres...well, that was just ridiculous and should have been removed long ago. I'm never joking when I say "use it or lose it."

That board goes hand-in-hand with the DC and MC boards. I don't know why, but note that the board moderators are the same for all three. Seems to be a matched set.

I figured it would just go with Marvel universe. I'm sure there's a reason for that. I don't remember what it was, but I think I remember arguing against it and losing...

Admin, would you please have your Search feature updated/reindexed? I want to search the posts of my deleted acct. I was using them as bookmarks in certain threads. I deleted that acct prematurely.
