> [@](#): > > When are you going to get back to your 100 favorite movies threads? Last I heard, you had 97 more to go. Ah, I’m doing mainly Hitchcocks. The 100 was too daunting. Any other random movies I like may also be subject to discussion. > [@](#): > > I was gone for a week on vacation. What were the circumstances of your banning/reinstatement? That is not the point of this thread. Search my posts for a week or two. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by UncleBeer \* > \*\*Dan, I wasn’t necessarily speaking of your comment that joke threads belong in this forum - that’s correct and unassailable; it’s also good advice I have no objections to members offering advice on where certain types of threads are best placed. It was more that you seemed to be giving an imprimatur of approval over this _specific_ thread; the first portion of your statment. It is entirely possible that this be a joke thread and it still **not** be “okay.” In that case, the forum in which it properly belongs, would be of no import. > > I’m sorry if I read more into your words than was intended. \*\* You’re right. My words were not chosen carefully enough. I approve of the _idea_ of this thread for my own personal tastes. I find it amusing and an excellent way to spin a negative situation positively. 🙂 ---

While I’ve never been banned (Looks around), when I first joined I could only post at work. My IP was ‘banned’ or on someones bad list. 😉 This didn’t change until I changed ISP’s. Different IP address, you see. ---
