Hello,

 

I’m just curious how many of the current posters are transplants from the “old” forums at The Envelope, or perhaps, from even before then?

I am one of the “original” posters from the pre-envelope forums.   I still use the same screenname.    Just kind of interested in seeing who made the jump.

 

thanks

alexsunny

I joined in 2004 during the heated battles of who would win Supporting Actress in a comedy with Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrell, Kristin Davis, Doris Roberts and Megan Mullally.

When Tom O’Neil launched this site, I was the No. 9 member to sign up.

This was in 2001. (I think it was May.)

I have kept my user name throughout my membership.

I know I joined before I got married, so maybe 2006 or 2007, maybe sooner. So many users had a broad knowledge of film history and the discussions were very exciting. Now you’re lucky if someone even mentions films from the 20th century. Can you imagine a thread including a discussion of the merits of Koyaanisquatsi? We used to have months-long threads about who merits an Honorary Oscar and you would see pitches for Jeanne Moreau and Max von Sydow. Now you’re lucky to find someone who has even heard of them. I miss those days, and yes, I do remember Sean Flynn/Scott Ferguson fondly.
