Wait, let me first explain!

There are good sites around, that are invitation-only - I don't want to do it!
But some recent spam activity alerted me to the fact that maybe we are a little too "open"...

So, I thought - and talked with some members about this - maybe it's time to close us, just a bit... for example, to force the users to make a presentation before posting in other forums; to hide project forums until a new user reach a minimum post number, let's say 5 or 10 - a spammer will not lose time to post more than once or twice, so it could be a simple but effective method to get rid of such elements...

These are some ideas that, frankly, I'm not even sure it could be fully implemented in the forum, right now, but hey, there were the first things that came to my mind.

What do you think?

Brainstorming, guys (gals?), brainstorming!

Hello,
I am new to this forum. I tried to introduce myself over at OT, but nobody responded. I am very interested in fan edits of movies, especially Star Wars.

I am intrigued by film preservation including 8mm copies. This seems to be a closed community with invites to places like my spleen, or the AMPS society that is invitation only. It seems this site is a little smaller and less intimidating.

Anyway cheers.

Fanres now has a shoutbox, as requested!
It's fully functional on both default and mobile versions of the site. Right now it's set to display 20 shouts and remember 100 (<<archive button).

This thread is looking at the possibility of a regrade of Mad Max. Seems like old versions of Mad Max had more colorful and saturated colors. In fact it looks more in line with the DVD of MM2. Stamper's example here:

This thread is looking at the possibility of a regrade of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Among the many problems the picture has, Stamper points out blown out whites (losing the blue skies) and excessive DNR, particular in this scene:

also the credits have telecine wobble or gate weave.

Should I color correct the DVD material to the HDTV version? I think it looks way more vivid and just better.

Sometimes clicking on them works, sometimes it doesn't. Pretty sure I've white listed every aspect of this site with my browser's pop up and script protection.

OK, OT should be the right place to post this kind of things, but as it's not possible for the moment to post there, and because I'm afraid to forget to do it there in the next days    I decided to post here, also because it could interest some members here...

As many of you know, SW BD quality is good, but not "outstanding" as many "outsiders" (read: out of fan restoration circles) thinks... also, many "insiders" think that HDTV versions of SW have worst quality in comparison to BD...

Well, I'm posting here three comparisons, and leave comments to you; the HDTV "mix" is, well... a mix? between two HDTV sources, one MPEG2 29.97fps 1080i, and the others from AVC 23.976fps 1080p (surely taken from 25fps 1080i); the mix+grainplate is... you know, the latter with a 35mm grain plate slapped over it...
