He's only been doing that for the past 5 years or so. You know, because blu ray is about about dead and gone...

dvdshonna went back and deleted all his/her posts? Never understood that.

At least leave in a huff like Gizmo seems to regularly do when he gets called out.

Understood what? It's casual conversation in a small, obscure forum.

It's not like reddit forums with millions of users. The reddit movies forum has 8,000,000+ users. If I have something to say "For The Record", I post it on reddit.

"Amry Of Darkness" Blu-ray (Shout) is available for pre-order on Amazon for $29.98

Hard to believe the Blu-ray format is in decline. At $29.98 you would think consumers would be gobbling these up as fast as they manufacture them.

Doesn't matter to me how many users, I don't understand going back to delete old posts at all regardless. Like you said, it's a small casual conversation so i'm not sure why people ever feel the need to do that.

I don't understand why you care.

If it's important to you, you can always quote my posts in your replies and say "DVDSHONNA'S POSTS ARE VERY IMPORTANT. JUST QUOTING THIS SO I CAN ALWAYS GO BACK AND READ IT"

As i've said a few times, I'm just pointing out that I don't understand why people do it. Sounds like you don't have a reason, so whatever

Why are you pointing this out? I don't understand.

Have you tried netflix? They have thousands of movies and TV seasons for $8/month.

If you're going to continue bulk-deleting all of your posts, your account will be disabled.

It's one thing to backpedal after posting and think "well, maybe that wasn't a good idea", "oops, I got my facts completely wrong", or "oh, I missed that someone else already said the same thing". Practically everyone's done that, and it's completely understandable to delete a post like that. Routinely going back every few days / couple of weeks / whatever and deleting everything you've posted in that interval means you're really just wasting your time and ours. If you don't want anything you've posted on the forum to remain, don't post at all.

Seriously? My statements were pretty self explanatory as to why.

I can't. You already disabled editing/deleting my posts.

Have a nice life. I wish you well.

Now to be fair, you are taking about a title that has been grossly neglected on home video releases of every format.

Ha! It is a stuffed-to-the-gills three-disc set, so we're getting our money's worth.

Not to mention it's already been released in a barebones release at a better price that people that don't care about extras can pick up.

Reddit is a fucking shithole. It's almost as bad as 4chan. General idiocy of Reddit aside, with over eight million users, it seems strange to think of posting there as leaving anything "on the record" when it's just going to get lost in an ocean of posts.
