    Ok I'm in the most pedantic of moods this morning ;) so I thought i'd make a little suggestion:

    Change the "Films" forum to "Film".

    What's the difference between Film and Films (Besides the 's' :) ) ?

    "Film" has broader connotations than "Films" in my opinion. Seeing as topics like the Film Industry, Film Technology and Film Genres often come up I think it would be more appropriate.

    /me takes off my pedantic hat..

    I counter this argument in favour of changing it to the word "Filims". For too long the Dublin accent has been opressed. Rise up.

    90% of Irish people say "Filim" not just the Dubs. Although, we say it better.... 'cos we're from Dublin.

    Anyway, just to say I agree with ye amp. "filims" it should be.

    Why stop there? We could create an entire Dublin Skin for boards..


    We could:
    1. redesign the graphics/layout using the slick styles of Liberty Hall and Busaras as a template.
    2. put all posts through a dublinizer filter
    3. add new forums like Fair City and De Spike

    Film sounds more general - perhaps such a title would encourage people to discuss other aspects of the topic - not just individual films.
