Came across this website on the web. Figure it may be of some use for some of the newer collectors. Guess we know where Mel got his idea from all the way down to the name of his site :P

Its ok Mel. It's all good, I mean you added an "S" and a ".com" and dropped "co.uk"
I see that it has not been updated in 3 years but I know that is important to know since the core information of collecting change every year. Nothing on that site is pertinent since it's 3 years old.

Mel, isn't it Saturday night there,... shouldn't you beout withbanging the 6 foot tall red head, rather than banging on the keyboard?
Mel, just ignore it.
There is no issue here whatsoever. Unless you copied text, which I doubt you did, there is no problem of course.
Picking a domain name how you did is exactly how I would have gone about it, which is perfectly usual. Putting an s on moviepostercollector and dropping .co.uk... please... must be a slow day in the office to be writing here such drivel.
Honestly, I am not sure why Mel got so defensive about it. All I said was "got the idea from" my reply was after I received a "nice" PM with a few choice words which is why I chose to reply the way I did. Then I got the complaint PM. I really don't give a shit. Just busting his balls but apparently he took it personal.
Is that sarcasm, Chris?
thumbup
I thought CJ was being sarcastic.
But then, Mel got a bad case of ...

CJ, you saw the superficial similarities between the sites and made an outrageously false accusation. I don't know if you've ever announced your profession publicly, but your "investigation" makes Inspector Closeau look like a genius.
I never heard of moviepostercollector.co.uk until long after I finished my website and nobody else has either. On both APF (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,1674.50.html) and on NS4 (http://stylec.yuku.com/topic/7867/Introducing-MoviePosterCollectors-com#.TrbfeHF5Gmc) I started threads asking for ideas for the website. These threads have thousands of views. No one ever mentioned that there was another site with a similar name or referred me to it. I came up with all the concepts on moviepostercollectors.com on my own or based on suggestions given on these forums, like these:
Mel, Why are you still :'( crying :'( about it? Do you have that address yet... I have that box of tissues packed up and ready to be shipped.

Oh by the way Mel, I don't visit that other forum.
You should... there`s a FIGHT CLUB! in there ;D
No, No, and No.
Suits 5 days a week.

In regards to what I do, well I never announced it publicly and only let a few know privately. Since you brought it up I will tell everyone here. I am a Detective for a large Police agency here in Maryland....

Well CJ I commend your professional accomplishments but yesterday you made a half-assed, unverified, and easily-refuted accusation of plagiarism against me. Plagiarism is a very serious charge so it's not just "nerd rage" I'm venting. And aren't detectives supposed to get both sides of the story? You could have easily emailed me to check with me. So why don't you act like a true moderator and admit that you made a premature judgment? And if you continue to believe I plagiarized that other site, pray do present some specific evidence of plagiarism. You'll be hard-pressed to do it. I just 10 minutes looking at it and the two sites are very different and there's certainly no plagiarizing of text.
I think it is time someone developed a specific sarcasm smiley - Steve???
Maybe we could even use Mel's face? <------------- this is where I would then insert said proposed sarcasm smiley
I thought I had a short fuse....
No No! Haggard's eyeroll
Maybe we can have two - for different degrees of sarcasm?
Last one I swear...

:o ... no, that should be hitself
I've just read over all this, and my God is Mel an idiot!
Honestly, guys, I don't think I have EVER known anyone like him in my entire life!
People skills? Where are they? Does he like making enemies? Does he enjoy shooting himself in the foot?
IS HE FOR REAL!?
He has the audacity to accuse someone of saying something they did NOT say; this coming after what he has done to others in the past.
And STILL, HE HAS NOT LEARNED ... nono
I don't know about most other members, but I tell you all now from my own stance that I am rather sick of Mel's FALSE accusations and lies directed to others.
He has caused so much bother within this hobbie ... on these forums and in the wider community.
Mel has clearly gone off on one again.
He can give it, but he sure as Hell can't take it.
Same as ever, unfortunately.
Sadly, I HIGHLY DOUBT we will see him apologise to CJ either.
Mel doesn't do apologies, even when he is proven wrong, as is the case here (yet again).
It's Mel against the world (apparently), so I would suggest, actually advise, him to get that chip on his shoulder filled in before he upsets the wrong person at the wrong time.
This is NOT a personal attack on Mel, I swear - it's an observation based on his behaviour.
CJ, I appreciate, applaud and support your line of work. I have the utmost respect for you.
I must also say I am very disappointed that you were "forced" into announcing to everyone your line of work because of childish, immature silliness.
No-one should ever have to be put into such a position.
Mel has a habit of not thinking before speaking ... bringing people's personal lives into such nonsense is disgusting.
Maybe someone here should post Mel's personal details for all to see?
But of course, Mel would have something to say about that, wouldn't he!?
LISTEN TO THIS GNARLS BARKLEY SONG HERE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzV9QExGFQs)
If you don't want to listen to the whole song, then listen from 0:57-1:41 ... You'll see what I mean - quite apt, I reckon lol.
Now, back to normality, please!? wynk
Homicide is a great show. If you like that one check out The Wire or even The Corner. All three are by David Simon. The Wire is about drug dealers and police which is an accurate depiction. The Corner is a very powerful mini series that focuses on heroin addiction and the story is based on actual people. All three are filmed in Baltimore. As you already know, Homicide is a fantastic series which is based on true cases.
I was actually talking about The Wire, which is probably my favorite TV show of all time! I've been meaning to check out Homocide and The Corner as well...
:o
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
. wynkEditor's Note: This post is meant to be stupid sarcastic. Neither I nor anyone here believes in time travel. Well actually, I am only really speaking for myself. There are a few members here who do think time travel is possible. Take Steve (aka 50s) for instance. He believes he is trapped in another decade and can't return home. Then, there's Holiday, a guy who's actually named after a day where you 'take time off.' Chris (aka CSM) believes he is the reincarnation of Im-ho-schlep or some other ancient Egyptian king-turned-camel fodder. Then, there's Charlie, who went through the STARGATE one too many times. Dave (Cinemasterbabies) is in a present day/future where today's $30 posters are worth tomorrow's $3000. Hershenson (Bruce) is actually a time-shifting PT Barnum. Jeff's screen name (Erik1925) speaks for itself. I could go on and on, but I think you, the reader, get my drift. This place is a looney bin and the guy with the keys is the Mad Hatter. "The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out...in your stomach and out your mouth. Have you ever seen a hearse go by and know that you are about to die?" Uh-oh, the meds are kickin' in. Gotta go.
BTW Cj, In '05, I met with a PG County Detective when the guys living in the apartment next door decided to play shoot 'em up (no one hurt) in the parking lot (just outside my ground floor windows) at 5:00am. He was surprised to learn that I was an ear-witness to the shots and asked, in an eager and hopeful tone, if I went to the window to see anything. I simply responded 'This is not the first time that I've heard that sound in this neighborhood'. He shook his head with a resigned understanding.
PG County - "A Liveable Community"
This thread has become quite comical.
A note to Adz - we all know that you are not a card holder of the Mel fan club, no need to remind everyone of the bad blood that was spilled between you two. I think it is quite clear where it is you stand in regards to him. I appreciate your post but I was not "forced" to divulge my personal life. Mel made reference to it and I decided to post what it is I do, I made that decision. I also am not looking for an apology from him. I don't ask for apologies as they mean nothing when solicited. I don't care if he ever apologizes because in the end he is a nobody to me. There are some people on this board who I instantly clicked with, some who i really never understood but took the extra effort to find out what they were about and come to enjoy their company and there is one who I really don't care for at all. All said, we are a bunch of individuals with different personalities and it's only natural that some wont get along.
I was actually talking about The Wire, which is probably my favorite TV show of all time! I've been meaning to check out Homicide and The Corner as well...
Its funny, I was at the Harvard Associates Francis Glessner Lee Homicide School a few weeks ago. I had dinner with a few PG County States Attorneys and they described PG county as Baltimore City with trees.
The point of my post was to show how ridiculous some people can be.
I don't ask for apologies as they mean nothing when solicited.

I agree that /www.moviepostercollector.co.uk/ is a great wesite, and I assume that the owner is no longer updating it. i also like this forum a lot- I've learnt a great deal so far, great contributions from everyone. But i the problem I have is... This forum is very addictive, the more I read it, the more I NEED to read it.. damn
Cj,
It's a shame that this site has not been updated in so long. Lots of useful information, pics (images credited), and easy to get around, as well. Thanks for the link, in any case. thumbup
