Nicholas Fudge accepted your friend request. Since he's new to Facebook, you should suggest people he knows. - Stacy Oct 28, 23:00 14
- I don't see how superpoking Nick Fudge solves anything. -- nm - Qale Oct 28, 23:42 1
  - well played :) -- nm - Stacy Oct 28, 23:49
- Don't even think about suggesting me. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 28, 23:25 1
  - I don't believe Stacy is taking suggestins. I believe she's gloating over the fact that she already has suggested some of us. -- nm - mara Oct 29, 04:20
- Don't suggest me, please. -- nm - secretslacker Oct 28, 23:03 6
  - Actually, you want her to suggest him, so when he asks to be your friend, you can ignore it and leave the request in limbo forever - Mr. Havens Oct 28, 23:20 5
    - Actually, I kind of want to see what this fool looks like... I bet he's a white guy. -- nm - secretslacker Oct 28, 23:24 4

      - I'm kind of floored that "Nick Fudge" is his real name, too. -- nm - secretslacker Oct 28, 23:25 1
        
        Umm, we still don't know that. -- nm - psilotum Oct 28, 23:27

IMO, their "A downward spiral of traffic" is due to the lack of promoting the site and not the actual look of the site. - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 28, 22:35 25
- People talk about the game, it gets mentioned in movie press. - zeitgeist Oct 28, 22:57 8
  - They also had a running ticker on the top of their building in West Hollywood. But is the look of the site that BAD that it is a turn off? - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 28, 23:00 7
    - Well, it had the look of a late 90s site. But the new one was an aesthetic and browsing nightmare, so... -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 28, 23:07
    - Personally, I think it is the gameplay that is a turnoff. - psilotum Oct 28, 23:07 5
      - Nah, I think buying and holding is viable to have a little fun. I would not have lasted 8 years otherwise. - celedhrymandias Oct 28, 23:11 4
        
        But what if there were a real reward for buying an holding? - psilotum Oct 28, 23:15 3
        
        They already tried something like that. Even destroyed another online movie game just for the site's name and URL. Didn't work for shit -- nm - Mr. Havens Oct 28, 23:23 2
        
        I might be describing this poorly. I don't mean that there is a cash reward. I just want to have daytrading cease to be profitable. - psilotum Oct 28, 23:27 1
        
        Thought that was one of the reasons they got rid of the daily change, the market lab, to kill off short term and artificial price point trading. -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 28, 23:56
- They run static ads in NYC theaters. I have seen them on occasion. -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 28, 22:41 5
  - Interesting. Never seen one in LA. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 28, 22:42 4
    - I see them every day... since, you know, I work at a theatre -- nm - Mr. Havens Oct 28, 22:51 3
      - They have them? Hmm. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 28, 22:53 2
        
        They have at my chain for the past two years. It makes me chuckle every time I see one - Mr. Havens Oct 28, 23:22 1
        
        For the most part I only watch movies at the Arclight in the valley (no commercials) and the AMC in the Century City mall. - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 28, 23:41
- They could have (and likely will) add things like blogs, polls, fan clubs, etc without a) making the site hard to use b) killing the game structure. - Qale Oct 28, 22:37 8
  - I posted something similar. -- (link) - psilotum Oct 28, 22:56
  - I hope they do. - Jelly Oct 28, 22:39 6
    - Exactly. Bling has got to go (not that it ever existed), HSX Minute has got to go (not that it really ever existed). The new forums were really - Qale Oct 28, 22:43 5
      - I think the HSX Minute is fine. People can easily ignore it if they don't like it. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 28, 22:45 3
        
        If they are going to keep the HSX Minute, they need to take it out of the hands of the marketing department and get people who actually know... - Mr. Havens Oct 28, 22:49 2
        
        It would be a perfect opportunity for fan/player participation. - psilotum Oct 28, 22:50 1
        
        I'm not just trying to get a gig myself, but there are a lot of knowledgeable HSX players in the greater Los Angeles area who could participate -- nm - Mr. Havens Oct 28, 22:53
      - Profiles (with appropriate ability to mask your identity) are fine. Friend lists can be meshed with leagues. -- nm - Qale Oct 28, 22:43
- well, the look of the site un-promotes the site once they get there. -- nm - loosilu Oct 28, 22:37
SHIT! -- nm - Mr. Havens Oct 28, 22:29 7
- freedom -- nm - Stacy Oct 28, 22:32
- DQ -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 28, 22:31 1
  - but not banned! -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 28, 22:32
- L5 and laughing my ass off. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 28, 22:30
- I see whut u did there -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 22:30 1
  - An unintentional first -- nm - Mr. Havens Oct 28, 22:43
- try getting more roughage. -- nm - mafinstein Oct 28, 22:30
