Yes, that's true.

The quality of your brickfilms doesn't have anything to do with it, folks.  Though it [i]seemingly[/i] correlates, because members who have been on this site for a while are generally more mature and have learned a lot about brickfilming.]]></content>

I quite agree with this part of your statement. It seems like a fair trial but the only problem that'll cause is that every single member who isn't accepted will start sending things in. Eventually the whole thing will freeze like the reviewing of films. Maybe some sort of filter as to who could send a letter asking for acceptance (if this will ever get implemented).]]></content>

No, I can't say that I agree with that. Aceeptance into the community doesn't mean your films are good, it just means maturity. I believe minifig051 said that he hadn't even uploaded a single film, yet he made it in. Saying that your films must be improving might scare some that deserve to be in the community maturity-wise, but their films aren't the greatest.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I have to agree with Keesret here, it does serve a purpose in that it allows us as keen-eyed filmmakers to review films that we have seen, so that other animators may enjoy them as well. Personally, some of my favorite movies were things I watched because they got high praise in that thread. 

As for community forum admittance, I don't think there should be any kind of time limit. If an animator shows that his films are improving, and he is active and he is mature, I see no reason why he should have to wait the same amount of time as another brickfilmer who is not as mature or active. This isn't the DMV. Maybe we could have a system that allows newer members to ask for admittance, and they are given a review of their time in the community, and the reviewer decides whether or not he meets the criteria. 

That's just my idea.

I hold a low opinion of that thread because I feel that it basically serves as a twitter-type thing, where one posts an update about the last film they saw, and nobody really acknowledges that and replies to them. What it ends up is a one-way conversation, unless you say something really really... er... controversial? IDK how to put this but...

Okay imma stop rambling. What ends up in that thread is that people put really short reviews that don't spark much discussion and it's pretty one sided.[/quote]
This might be a bit of topic but that thread gave me some good recommendations though. It's great for looking up short reviews with people who have a similar taste of films like you. Anyway let's go back on topic shall we? I'm a bit sick of all these rants here.]]></content>
