I see while I was typing that alpha128 covered what I was saying I think your "two cents" were very illuminating!

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. You don't find that a bit odd? If I moved them all, it would be ten out of ten. No, I don't find it odd at all. This is about Movie Quotes first, and Star Trek second.

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... I think BATouttaheck is saying the same thing I've been saying. For the majority of thread creators and posters, this is about film quotes first and foremost. The Star Trek part is secondary. I have written many times that Star Trek pictures are not a requirement for these threads, and that the only requirement is to have fun.

But what they all have in common is Star Trek, aside from a few strays apparently. And not just Star Trek, but the original series specifically. Why are there so many different threads that need to be linked in a table of contents? Shouldn't all "Movie Quotes/Star Trek: TOS" threads be in the same thread as the ToC? Just FYI: I can merge them.

Admin Admin I am suggesting that the master list be on Film General because the TOPICS of the threads are General Films. It is only the replies (images) that are Star Trek ! For me it's a MOVIE QUOTE game for which most of the players post Star Trek Images. I believe mainly because that is how the game started and it does give a unity to the proceedings. alpha128 has pointed out that Star Trek is not required for the imagery but that has not really caught on (yet).

Bat, I'm looking specifically at the pinned thread in Film General that is entitled "Movie Quote/ Star Trek: TOS threads turn 125!"

Then why isn't it simply "Movie Quotes"? FWIW at one point there was an attempt to start a game with "illustrate the movie quote with a picture from another movie" and it didn't catch on. It was in the games area where not all many people go. The Star Trek unity seemed to catch more attention.

It's become traditional to post Star Trek images … thus the name

The Individually titled threads need to be kept apart from the table of contents because each Thread is a different game and the ToC (neatly pinned, thank you !) is an index of what is available to keep playing and what movies have already been done.

That doesn't seem to make much sense give that it's a table of contents for the 125 Movie Quotes/Star Trek threads. Are there other Movie Quote threads? Like Movie Quotes/Jaws or Movie Quotes/Casablanca?

two more cents
as I see it .. pinned as it is ...where it is … with the title it has (maybe without The Original Series since that really isn't required) is the way to go.
I like the idea of the table of contents being there as I like to add to games not necessarily when they are new.

As BATouttaheck wrote, the "formula" of using Star Trek pictures as quote illustrations caught on. For example, I recently started a thread about ScreenRant's list of "15 Most Quotable Movies of All Time" and in response two new quote threads were created, and one of them was for Casablanca.

Admin I could make a Movie Quotes board... You could but it would probably be a ghost town. These threads are really popular and used by many who don't even know that the games boards exist.

I don't understand why new threads are created in response to those threads you start. Isn't that why they're spread out all over the place and in need of a Table of Contents with links to their locations?

I'll let BATouttaheck weigh in, but I think that a Movie Quotes board would just be become another inactive board. The reason these threads are popular is partly because Film General is a popular board.

anyway .… I have run out of pennies … am sure that anything you two come up with I am sure will work. Admin thanks for taking the time to work on this with alpha128 who is really the mastermind and organizer of this whole fun aspect of the board. You might even try it yourself … it's fun to read but even more fun to play !
