Eagle is a capable technician, not a marketer or entrepreneur. I'm struggling to see Excel as any of these things.

I was just on BOT and their list of 100 movie characters of all time included 5 Harry Potter characters, at least 4 SW, 2 Batmans, 2 Spiderman, and 9 animated characters. Ughhhh.

Id be down for an overhaul, and as an investor and look at the financials. I could easily help out with marketing and getting advertisers back, and a rise in membership. But that would require a lot of things:

1. Someone who wants to be in charge buys everything.
2. We change the name. KJ is dead.
3. We look through the dead weight topic threads and clean it up. (BOT for instance is a mess with that whole sub forum feature) and decide where we should focus on.
4. Creating a Digital youtube channel (Even if it was something as stupid as Mojo, we'd have a solid link basis, because our top 10 lists are always better than theres, and thats a way to start, We could also have people do trailer reactions if they wanted to, However to Gamur's point, we'd start being more in the open
5. While this is happening, we don't have to be on our best behaviors but the personal insults need to stop. If you disagree, keep it topical. Nothing turns new members away faster than looking at a good box office thread and two of us are talking about how stupid the other person is.

I'm pretty sure we all have great topic ideas. I don't post them anymore just because I hate writing to 3 people that might read it. But if people are truly serious. Then I'm definitely willing to take a chance with them.

So I read somewhere to have a buzzing forum it needs:

5. an engaging owner
4. a member that always gets offended and occasionally leave the forum, only to come back a bit later
3. a deep member, that drops all the deep quotes, prayers maybe, that give you all the philosophy
2. a member that always posts jokes that gets ignored
1. a wildcard who posts outrageous things

KJ is like 2 or 3 out of 5 recently?

I've come into this so many times. So many ideas, so much enthusiasm. And then it disappears as quickly as a fart in the wind.

Oh boy, what's going on here? What's all the doom and gloom about?

There were always down phases at KJ followed by lots of activity. The same thing is happening over at BOT - There are weekends over there when the weekend thread is 200 pages long and other times it's just 20 pages. The movie business is cyclical - and you all should know that (my homepage has its up and downs as well).

I like the fact that KJ is not overrun by hundreds of people who know basically nothing about b.o. - that's why I left the BOM forum 13 years ago to join KJ and I never bothered to join the BOT forum (even though I read some stuff over there).

The problem is that KJ is adding literally 0 new posters, but people leave on a regular basis. With that pattern there is only one ending

I did a rough count and KJ had around 50 posts today, around 10 was this thread and the other save KJ one, without them it would be barely 40, that's with 6 posts by Corpse in the Japan box office thread. It seems to be there could easily be days in the 30s or less. Where is the breaking point? Can it survive on 20 a day? There is a tipping point probably that leads to a ghost town feel and more people abandoning ship. I remember when the filmgasm forum was around and while there was some posters hanging around until the end like loyal posting about Game of Thrones every once in a while and Libs and her probable alt account filmlover posting some numbers and reviews, it was obvious the air was out of the balloon and wasn't coming back

All we need to do now is get Warner Bros. on board.
