Arguing about capitals and arguing about a one-off ruling about capitals... I'd thought I'd seen this forum at the height of it's stupidity...
You think this is as stupid as we can get? Really??? 
I'm almost offended! It's gotta be close... right? I mean, pretty damn close. Capital letters?? Whether an o is o or O? In a database that largely ignores capitalization rendering it fairly freakin' moot? I mean... DAMN close. I've seen a lot of s**t around here that makes me go REALLY? But capital letters? REALLY???  | | | | The night is calling. And it whispers to me soflty come and play. |

Indeed. Any way speaking of sites i came across this. www.dvdloc8.com It's been going since 2004 Some information on this forum http://forum.digital-digest.com/f4/new-site-launch-dvdloc8-com-locate-compare-collect-41462.html Perhaps maybe buy-out and a couple of tweaks here and updates here and there. It could be make for something special. | | | | Last edited: by ShinyDiscGuy |

Anyway this is a little bit of-topic This is great  You should start a poll where we can vote on which reached the greatest "height of stupidity". It's a tough choice but I think I'd go for the SRP one. | | | | Do you ever find yourself striving for perfection with an almost worthless attempt at it? Guttermouth "Lemon Water". Also, I include in my Profiler database VHS tapes, audio DVDs, audio books (digital, cassette and CD), video games (digital, DVD and CD) and 'enhanced' CDs with video tracks on them, as well as films and TV I've bought digitally. So I'm an anarchist, deal with it. Just be thankful I don't include most of my records and CDs etc in it too; don't think I haven't been tempted... |

| | Posted: | | | | I check the old board expecting to find more, but I'm surprise by the fact that I haven't found one really worthy of the silly tag yet (I'm only in 2003, so maybe it was different than). But there a lot of angry thread about bad profile approved. But I've found this one that made my jaw drop, not because it's silly but because of who wrote " IF one needs assistance with a genre for a specific title IMDB is a pretty good source.". I don't get that one at all  Done with IMDBSomeone post he will not use imdb anymore for the cast credit, will correct the profile to reflect what is written in the film credits and the first reply is "don't do that"... | | | | Last edited: by Jimmy S |

Done with IMDB
Someone post he will not use imdb anymore for the cast credit, will correct the profile to reflect what is written in the film credits and the first reply is "don't do that"... So in the last 5 or so years nothing has changed. I know you're not picking on a certain person but he seems to be a major problem since the start. Why is he still here? |

| | Posted: | | | | No I'm not picking on a single user (BTW if it's the one I think of, he act much better those day). I just try to find some silly discussion from the past as it can be fun to re-read some of them. |
