Pretty much AVS HDM area is just for "this movie looks good/bad" or "why won't this play".

Dances with Wolves was supposed to come out last March or April, but I don't think it had been given a new date since.

2. So they *deleted* the thread? Hundreds of pages of discussion and links to stats?
I think I'm going to take an AVS break for a while until they get this figured out. This isn't rocket science -- they just need to suspend/ban the folks that are causing problems. Right now, it seems like they are just stopping actual discussion and debate (not flames).
I don't see how stopping discussion of published sales data fits in with the point of AVScience, or discussion forums in general.

it was really bad though....i am on there just to find out when movies come out and when i ask a question about something a fanboy comes out and starts a fight and before you know it a thread that could end in 10 posts turns into 50 posts and then closed....

Instead, they are currently limiting topics to things that can't even really be "discussed". And they're deleting topics and posts like mad. I don't get it.
