The Unwatched Media Pile Thread: April 2017
Do you have a pile of BDs that remain unwatched? A shelf of DVDs you've yet to see? Or would you admit to owning a box of dust-covered VHS tapes that you never got around to checking out? If the answer to any of these questions is yes (and of course that's the case), then this thread is the place for you. It's a support group spot where you can track your progress in trying to eliminate those unwatched films in your collection.
Here's the instructions, courtesy of the former Mister Peepers, (now known as The Man with the Golden Doujinshi), who chaired these unwatched threads for several years:

And should you want to go back and check your progress from a previous month...
