DCINB forum 2 years old!

Post by carl stromberg »

It's now around two years since we set up our forum.

It's been a strange year. Many critics now agree with our views on the new direction. We have also had lots of feuding amogst some members.

I hope we can another year of pleasant discussion on the future of the franchise and why we are disenchanted with Daniel Craig in the role of James Bond.

:cheers: :cheers:
Bring back Bond!

I guess the saying is true - yesterday's heresy is today's orthodoxy.

Chief of Staff, 007's gone round the bend. Says someone's been trying to feed him a poisoned banana. Fellow's lost his nerve. Been in the hospital too long. Better call him home.

My second anniversary here is on the 20th. I had no idea I joined so soon after it formed.

The resistance continues!

How did other posters find their way to this forum? I can't remember.

I can't remember either. I think I just got tired of being told that I wan't a "real Bond fan" because I didn't worship the ground that Daniel Craig walked on and decided to come here to get away from that. Then all the pro-Craigers started flocking here to tell us all precisely that, so bang went that dream.

Two years today! :cheers:

FYI both Carl and No are correct: The DCinB forum was installed and data base created on the Feb 7th, with about twenty to thirty people helping finalize the set up with their imput. The forum went public the following Sunday, the 11th.

For me it has been a long two years ;) But worth while :mrgreen:

So I'm guessing you were possibly Gravitys Silhouette or maybe AKB from another forum?
Not likely to reveal who you were in the past Kris I know that.
You're dream Kris, whatever sort of a nightmare it is...is still going. My god, can't be long now.
The old question of what happens to the site when we oneday (though not soon of course) we get Bond #7?

I don't think Kris has ever been a member of the MI6 forum. He's too intelligent for that.

Nope. As I've said several times before, the only other Bond forum I post to is alt.fan.james-bond on Usenet, under my real name. People sometime ask me to participate in other forums, but I have enough difficulty keeping two forums straight in my head (as in "did I post that here or in the other place?") so I've no desire to confuse myself any further.

Gravity's Silhouette was the founder of the now defunct "007 Forever" website. The last time I read some of his posts on the CommanderBond forum he was praising Daniel Craig, so perhaps he has been won over.

Technically, you are not one of "us" really as you liked Quantum of Solace! You are a maverick figure: so we will have to arrest you too. :evil: :evil: :spy:

"Liked" is a strong word; there was quite a lot of it that was not up to Bond standards.We'll see what Bond 23 brings :wink:

I liked it, but I see the flaws in it, for sure. You don't see me running to defend it every time someone disses it though, do you? :wink:

So presumably you think the other 18 Bond movies are awful?
:)

I don't really understand your agenda on the forum. Most post because they do not like Craig as Bond or the new direction. Others wish to show their support for Craig. But you seem to have maverick opinions.
