Oh, bless you - you're more than welcome on this board! :lol:
I can't stand the Actor/Movie thread, but we keep it out of tradition because it was one of the first two games when the boards were first created, and because for some people it helps them break the ice on the board (which is perfectly valid and keeps me from campaigning against closing it permanently - we love new posters and want them to feel comfortable).
We did try a 6-Degrees type thread, and I thought the Movie Scattegories thread was like that - you might want to check that out first. I'm not sure why the 6-Degrees one didn't work if that's not the same thing, and it could be it's simply down on page 10 and people aren't playing it right now.
I'll try and look into the matter this weekend when I have more time...
