Hey peeps. I wanted to announce that FilmBabel is going to only be running for a couple more weeks. I really enjoy do it, but there just isn't enough traffic to make it worth while (and the traffic isn't increasing over time). I had hoped that the joint quiz with FilmWise would bring in people and save the site, but it didn't. So I'll keep it up through the end of the contest (which is January 16th) and then maybe I'll do a best-of or something, but that's going to be it.

Thank you to everyone that enjoyed it (you should have told more people about it! :-) Maybe I'll try to do something different in the future.

Thanks,

Does anyone kow why the answer for #3 on quiz #120 doesn't seem to be taking? I'm pretty sure the line is from
Spoiler
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
but I'm getting no joy.

I'm bumping this in the hopes that DoubleDown takes another look. I noticed nobody is on the board for Quiz #120 so I'm guessing there's probably an error in the answer.

Since it's down to only hours before I post the answer, I'll be a little more explanitory of my clue so that at least SOMEBODY should get on the high scores.

Not mechinical --> Organic
"cats and dogs" --> Raining
"nor is it" --> it's something other than cats or dogs...

Generally we don't delete topics, and just let them sink to the bottom of the forums. But you should be able to edit any of your posts if you want to remove any information.
