How do you think this board and the Lemony Snicket online community in general will change after the movie comes out? Like many members, I fear an influx of people who have never read the books, but saw the films because they liked Jim Carrey or Liam Aiken. Perhaps there will be forums just for Lemony Snicket movie fans. Did that happen with Harry Potter?

theyre will be more people just because of the movie, but I think if the loyal member of 667 stay, this board wont change that much. The Malignant Media section will become the largest section on the board for sure.

After the movie's released, an army of noobs will flood the board and rape our women and children and burn the villages and steal all our food! Also, they're going to hack the board and make it so that every post is a picture of Goatse! This means that we obviously have to ban all the noobs pre-emptively so we can keep our majestic board to ourselves, untainted by the evil furriners! Sieg heil!
haha jay kay.
I think it'll pretty much stay the same. There'll be some debate about the quality of the books as compared to the movies, a few arguments, and some people who watched the movies will be led to read the books as well. Overlap = nice.

Lovely use of satire, Luna. Some people out there seem to think just like what you said. I just wondered how the face of this board would change post-movie. It's possible that Malignant Media will become crowded by the only-seen-the-movie people, because they wouldn't have any reason to come to the book boards. Does anyone know if there are forums for people who know HP and LoTR only from the movies? There may end up being Snicket forums like that.

maybe, after the movies release, if theyre are a lot of newbies, we could have Tragedy close the board so no newbies could get in. if he could do that.

theyre are a lot of HP and LOTR sites just for people who saw the movies. The only HP site that I go on, thats pretty loyal to the movies and books is mugglenet.com.

It will definitely become more interesting with all the new debates that will pop up ;)But then there will all these little fan girls that will come on that will say "oh Liam is so HOT" or the other ones that will be jealous of Emily, that will get annoying pretty quickly

That's just being elitist. "Yeah, there's too many new people, let's close the boards so that they can't post! Hahaha, we're so smart!" Seriously, just because they didn't read the books when they came out means they're scum of the earth? Uh-huh, yeah. I read the first book then didn't read the series until they were up to like book six (then bought and read them in bulk). Because I didn't keep up on them it means I'm tainted, amirite.

Let me complete your last sentence: ......it would be a very bad thing. What if there's an intelligent person who read the books and knows a lot of background on them(theories, allusions, other stuff seen at sites like the Lemony Snicket FAQ), and yet since he came along after the movie release he can't get in? People would spread bad news about this board, and we would sort of decay as people's friends were excluded by the "Post-Film Release Registration Restriction Decree"

well, Tragedy could just ban all of the annoying members and the members that never post. so we can keep this board simple.

I do think there will be more newbies turning up, but I don't think we can necessarily be too elitist. I mean, if we wanted, we could branch off into separate boards for the books and the movies, but we'd miss people who are new to the series after the movies, amd who are actually intelligent and make sense. It would be worse for us in the end, I think. Although I can see a bunch of newbies coming on and not having a clue about the books, and that would suck amazingly...
Still, we'll deal. I don't think we should make it a big issue.
