It's lucky that no one made that pun for that film years and years ago. Oh, wait... Still, easy to see how you could have missed it, what with there being a grand total of nine previous reviews there and all. |

Who and who?
NB:
Celestine is a mouse in animation "Ernest and Celestine".
Lindsay Lohan plays Liz Taylor in "Liz and Dick"
"Robin and Marian" was the second film where Sean Connery and Robert Shaw fight to the death.

...bollocks. Missed the deadline again. These new hours don't suit me at all, it's becoming clear.
Serious question: has the time change improved or diminished the practicality of FYC for us? I can't help but notice our regular numbers are dwindling horribly. I'm getting used to expecting to see the five of you (Randall, Lemmy, Larry, Baffy and Salopian) and more than that has only become a bonus. Any thoughts on whether the start and finish time might have made a difference to our absent friends or am I just clutching at straws? |

I don't mind either way. But honestly why would it make any difference? There's no pressure to be first to post. Each FYCTH is up for 3-4 days. The time change hasn't altered that.
I think all 4UM activity has dwindled. Case in point - the haiku thread. Even Dis or Dat.
Maybe benj can tell us whether the actual submissions have also fallen off, stayed the same, even increased?
If they, too, have decreased, perhaps there's some natural progression of how long people are willing to devote to something/anything.
Other thoughts most welcome, and thanks, Dom, for raising the issue.

| The site's heyday was 2004--2005. It has been in steady decline as a whole, and in the Fourum in particular, since then. I just keep going in memory of those halcyon days. I can't remember why someone pushed for the change of time, but I said then that I'd rather keep the old one. However, I can live with either. |

I believe that Chocky mentioned a while back that the new start time was not good for her.
Personally, I preferred the former and would welcome it back. |
