I'm a newcomer to this planet

Good day. I'm new here and my name is fourlemons. In way of a brief biography I am a former IMDb message board poster who has tried other forums only to find the experiences (in comparison to IMDb) much like eating ice milk with freezer burn after years of eating freshly scooped ice cream. After recently performing one of many internet searches over the years asking where the heck can I find a message board that is close to IMDb, this one was finally suggested to me. In fact I see that posts that I myself wrote years ago are archived here. Would you recommend that I land here and stay awhile or keep searching the galaxy?

Don't search, stay here. Just avoid the user Kowalski. He's our worst specimen.

Didn't you guys call a truce?

[–] samoanjoes (55109) a month ago

Does that change the fact that he's our worst specimen?

[–] VinceD (8912) a month ago

LOL he's far from that and you know it

[–] samoanjoes (55109) a month ago

I fear he may read this and believe that I respect him.

Don't scare him off with legends of the local bull queer. 🤣

Gotta warn all the newbies.

Hullo!

Most people are cool here, and you seem quirky and likely fit right in.

I have to say it's very encouraging to already get several replies. Some message boards I've posted and it's like I'm shouting out into the abyss. 😂

And thank you for the warm welcome.

What does your username mean?

[–] fourlemons (393) a month ago

I do have a question. In order to ensure that I'm a model citizen, is there a posting quota or a time limit to be followed between posts? I've tried repeatedly to reply directly to one of you now and keep getting a red notice that I should try again later. I read the community standards and cannot find anything.

Your one post every 10 minute limit will go away after 100 posts. Then everyone is limited to one minute between posts.

[–] BrandNewPoster (10375) a month ago

There is a time limit between posts for new accounts, which will go down on its own, after a while.

Yeah, this place is great. It's obviously not as active as IMDb. But it's the next best thing. And we have to start somewhere. Help us build MovieChat up to where it's as active as IMDb. I've tried the others and they don't compare to MovieChat.
