I'd frequent OOT just as often, but I would post more in the MBTV thread cuz I know it won't disappear in a matter of hours.

There is a reason it disapears is because people don't want to read it, sorry to say. This is a fact: Threads on popular subjects get responded to. A thread on something not popular, or even garnering interest, will fall to the bottom as it should. This is what was said earlier and it is true:

You want to take a subject that doesn't get read in its home forum, and give it its own forum.

I think you are mistaking "getting lost in the shuffle of crap" for "the stuff I want to post about is part of that shuffle of crap."

Actually your dead wrong with this.
A lot of the posts in politics would never stay on the front page if they weren't in they're own forum. A post on the invasion of IRAQ is not going to be able to compete with- My first time fking my wife trip report, Shark vs. Octopus, Bong or Blunt...which do you prefer? etc etc

People want to believe that if your write a really good post about some movie, or tv topic that it will rise to the top...but thats not the case unless a flame war breaks out. Even a lot of the sports topics that get a ton of replies in Sporting Events would disapear if they were stuck back in OOT.

I personally don't mind weeding through all the misc threads(which is what makes up 95% of what OOT is) in order to find the LOST,24,Sporanos,Trailer for Silent Hill, Ice Age 2 review, Best actress in their 20's, etc etc. There is plenty of stuff I've posted in OOT and will continue to do so..but some stuff that is heavy Movie/TV related I simply won't bother too because its a waste of time given it will get swallowed in a matter of minutes due to the size of OOT.

Having its own forum would simply makes thing easier. It is not going to change the world and its not going to cause OOT to implode on it's self...it'll just make things a bit easier for people who want to focus on that topic only..much the same for the Sports fans, Politics fans, etc etc
