yeah spike is banned.

I saw the trailer for the 2012 film, it looked liked your average disaster film, all effects and no substance. I could be wrong it was just a trailer.

Good scripts and casting, pooling resources, shooting in locations around the world, it has a lot of potential. I don't expect it to be easy but there's no fun in easy.

well I'm glad to see this is still going although I guess the momentum has died down. I guess with monsterfest going on and maybe because the op got banned things have slowed down. It's too bad though- that would have been amazing if he had been able to screen it for Danny Boyle.

anyway in terms of inspiration, has anyone seen this movie called "Right at Your Door"? not the greatest but kind of interesting and reminded me a bit of Todd Haynes' "Safe" just a little.

guess so too, but I'll definately keep checking this thread and thinking about something simple we could realize.

I'm a bit pissed that Spike got banned, I don't know the reason but it better be a good one.
Not really what I would have expected from this board...

Well if it's not what you would have expected stip you might ask yourself why it's not something you would have expected and what would have had to happen in order for such a thing to go down.

Such a rumination might lead you to conclude that warnings, infractions, countless talks and very long emails, maybe even another banning had all probably already occurred. If a banning had already occurred and an individual was let back, promises to amend conduct must have been made by said individual. If the individual has now been banned again, then you can guess what became of the promises. We can only give so many chances.

One of the reason we don't post a big neon sign with all the details is out of respect for the banned member's privacy. The above is probably more than I should say, though I'm sharing it because it mostly divulges a typical process we might go through before we give someone a final ban while not divulging all the details and because you seem to need to know.

If you thought about all that then you might not be "a bit pissed" and you'd feel more like we do. Sad and disappointed that we had to ban someone that, while he was obviously doing something that wasn't good for the forum (since he's banned), also contributed a lot. We don't like banning people like that. We do like banning spammers and trolls, we have a little party. But we don't like banning regular members that contribute something. Believe it or not we probably feel worse about it than you do and it's not something we take lightly - ever.

But it's a fact. Yes it sucks for this project. But you can either move on with it here or spike can join DVinfo or DVrebel's and you guys can continue it there.

I guess I missed something... It's probably inappropriate to wonder what he did that wasn't good for the forum?

Jack, thank you very much for your statement.

I understand you can't tell any background information but it was enough to understand that this ban must have come a longer way and had it's reasons. Still hard to imagine such an issue going on here

Probably a lose lose situation for everyone involved

well, one part of it... the part that put things over the top is when you get put on a timeout, and start creating multiple accounts, and then spoofing your i.p. in an attempt to hide that, etc, etc, etc.

At a point, we have little choice but to view you as hostile to the site, and unfortunately will have to treat you as such.

Besides, when someone starts going soo out of their way like that, I think it's safe to say that they are too emotionally invested.

later,
Jason

is anyone watching "v" right now? maybe we could make the black hooded figures aliens heh.

You guys have a time out system? Anyway, I've been a bit busy so haven't been able to dedicate myself here, but I'm still for what we were discussing, end of the world stuff. I recommend people be thinking about shorts they can do if there's a strong interest in that. Once more is established we can branch out and seek submissions from outside of DVXUser, creating a large enough team to make it work. Creating an outside site would probably be good as well, and once time allows I may be able to do so.
