Re: Indian Movies Thread

40 years ago I was a normal human - who watched movies like anyone else. Then I got into college.. After having missed 99% of good movies for 40 years I am on a movie watching binge now. Please post names of good movies in the last 40 years (I'm serious) so I can choose. I have forgotten their names...

Re: Forum Technical Issues

We may or may not know the reason for BRF shutdown. What is in here that will avoid that fate? I do not claim to have insider knowledge and I rarely visited GDF but folks like me were whining a lot about lack of moderation in the military thread and I think the reason was admin overload from GDF. U...

Re: Moderator Nominations

I do not recall even looking at the content of the love and marriage thread. It was naturally attractive to any young person but IMO for BRF it was just a distraction. That thread and other threads that were 'private" probably attracted thousands of people who could speak their hearts to online frie...

Re: Moderator Nominations

IMO if this forum is closed it will die. It must be open. Mods will have a tough time initially but it will develop a character of its own. That is vital. It must attract new people and not the dregs from BRF. There need not be competition with BRF and people can be sent to BRF for mil discussions. ...

Re: Indian Movies Thread

I don't want to digress but I have a nephew who was posted in a company in the heart of Naxal country. One day ( a holiday) Naxals had warned that the (private) minerals plant should be shut down. The boss ordered that it should continue to work. Sure enough Naxas turned up threateningly and asked t...

Re: Indian Movies Thread

My opinion on Newton is that it is just a movie. It has to survive attacks from all political colours AND naxalites and still break even - so it just tippy toes over issues. Nothing really serious about it.

Re: Moderator Nominations

As many of you will know I was BRF adminullah almost from the start for maybe a decade. I was a jihadi admin and developed some views about moderation which I will post here. Note that I do not want to be a moderator of any forum again. I think BRF GDF was a problem from the start because BRF regist...

Re: Forum Technical Issues

Hi folks. Good luck with this forum. Will try and contribute. On BRF I have said for years (decades now) that we need new quality forums. There was an attempt to create India-Forum in mid 2000s. Is it still there? I used to browse that while in US but stopped on R2Iing in 2005 No idea. India Forum ...
