Commercials Forum

Thread split from Suggestions Thread

Here are a few suggestions that didn't get answered in the "Current state of KMC" thread that might get some answer here:

Anyway.....my current suggestions on improving the quality and at the same time the infrastructure of KMC, would be:

1. Merge the SW forums into just one, with SW: literature and EU as a sub-forum

2. Merge "General Fiction Area" with "Prose and Poetry" I mean.....it just seems like a double forum to me 😬

3. A History forum sounds interesting to me, but that's because i love history. I'm not sure how or where that would fit in though......but i'd like for this addition to be made.

4. I'd like for another addition to be made: A "Commercials" forum, where people can discuss the making of commercials, actors involved in them, even the music used for them. I'm pretty sure it would have enough patrons, even though it might start off slow.....i mean....it can't have less than the religion forum anyway right? 😬

forum for commercials? 😑

sure let's make it and place next to the religion one 😬

There is a pretty big difference between "commercial" and "commercials" also known as "advertisements" . There are HUNDREDS of advertising awards yearly, both in the US and in Europe. Advertisement is in itself one of the most prestigious and powerful business opportunities out there atm.
But that's beyond the point. Let me refresh your memory as to what advertisements or commercials mean:

Main Entry: 2commercial
Function: noun
: an advertisement broadcast on radio or television

Main Entry: ad·ver·tise·ment
Pronunciation: "ad-v&r-'tIz-m&nt; &d-'v&r-t&z-m&nt, -t&-sm&nt
Function: noun
1 : the act or process of advertising
2 : a public notice; especially : one published in the press or broadcast over the air

The forum i have in mind would be for discussion concerning the best or the most interesting Ad making companies and firms, about the actors involved in these Ads (a lot of actors start out with theater, move on to adds, then move on to the movie business), classic advertisements, like the old Volkswagen ones, great Commercials, why they're great, etc. etc.

Say you, Clovie, see an awesome commercial for John West Salmon mkay? You come over here and say:

"Woah, i just saw an awesome commercial for John West salmon"

I reply to your thread "Yeah, i know, it involves british humour, coupled with an awesome performance, bla bla bla"

then you continue

"yeah, it was great, i guess those guys are talented"

then i continue

"yeah, it was made by the company "XYZ" that's most likely gonna get an award at the oncoming American Advertising Federation awards.

This was all an example though, so please don't waste time by nitpicking it. And that's just a VERY small part of what it could be all about.

but i'd love to nitpick on that one 😕

i still don't see the point.

Well i'd love to nitpick on every grammer mistake made in this thread, but seeing as how reading all 102 pages of it has made me a bit tired, i won't 😬

you see a point for a "yerss forum" or for yourself to become a mod but can't see a point for having a forum for commercials? 🤨

Let's see.....they're in every movie break on TV......they occupy roughly 30-40% IMO of daily TV alloted screen-time, they bring together some of the most imaginative people in one single domain, there are multiple million dollar contracts for MERE SECONDS of screen time during the Superbowl break and other such events, etc.

If you don't see the importance of commercials and advertising as a whole, you live in a sad sad world 😬

~wickerman~

but that's a great idea...why don't you check the grammar of all posts i've made? coz i'm sure there would be a lotsa stuff to nick pick on 😬

this is personal attact. i have never seriously considered myself becoming a mod here. as for a 'yerss forum' talk with him maybe.
it's easily noticable that you have some problem with me and i would highly appreciated if you explaind it to me in a PM or something

and getting to the main part..
of course i do know that commercials have a big effect on the population. but i don't see the point to discuss them.
an the extra thing is that i don't find it interesting to talk about commericals i've never seen nor will see 😬

Show me where there's a single personal attack on you in my previous post, because i certainly can't find one 😬 i was just clearing a few points up.

you're one single member out of a lot more that KMC has, i'm sure some of them would like to discuss commercials, and the advertisement industry as a whole. As for certain commercials, the idea is that if you really wanna discuss one (not you personally, using "you" as a generic term) you can create a new thread with a link to a site on the net where people can watch the commercial in discussion.

Can't really see much support for a commercials forum.

No prob raz, but if i get more people interested in it (since i just mentioned it in this thread and the "Current state of KMC" thread), would you consider it?

~wickerman~

If I can see a good amount of genuine support (note: does not include bandwagons), then I have no problem creating a sub-forum in the TV area.

A sub-forum in the TV area sounds great. I'll try to pass the idea around here and there. Thanks raz 👆

~wickerman~

I' m not won over to this idea.

Same here, I don't see why we should create a sub-forum just for the sake of it. Commercials belong in the TV forum, until there is a big enough amount of them to justify their own forum.

Let's make a TV-shop forum too 🙂

If that's sarcasm, you're not very good at it 😬

If you're serious, that suggestion should be in the "Suggestions" thread, not in this one.

~wickerman~

no. it would be the subforum of your non-existant comercials forum. 🙂

The only merging in SW that should be done is the OT + the PT, at the very least Episode 1-3.

Poetry belongs in Artwork, because stories and poems are two different things, IMO.

History Forum? This is a place for fun, yous guys learn History in school, and it's kind of out of place for a supposed MOVIE forum to have such a forum.

Commercials forum just sounds silly, IMO. The turnover there would be so high, and conversations so dull and one sided, and I don't think there'd be enough interest. I don't visit the TV forums personally, but...

That is called trolling or instigating to a fight. Are you sure you want another warning/ban?

Merging the OT + the PT would mean two forums: One that has the entire SW movie saga and the EU and literature forum. Sounds good to me 👆

I don't know about that one

What about Music, computer/video games, Book, and especially sports forum? You can just as easily say "You guys do physical education in school, and it's kind of out of place for a supposed MOVIE forum to have such a forum" ........ but it does 😬

I'm pretty sure the conversations wouldn't be considered dull or one-sided. For instance, you give your opinion on a certain advertising company, then people might disagree with you. You give your opinion on a certain commercial, people may disagree with you. I don't know if there would or wouldn't be enough interest yet. I haven't sent the PM's i wanna send yet.
