I'm not sure if it's just me, but the old thread has become an absolute pain in the ass to open due to it trying to take me ten or so pages ahead of the actual last page. So to make it easier, here's a new thread.

Old thread for those of you who wish to refer back: http://www.wrestlingforum.com/booker/510932-official-btb-discussion-thread.html

~ No spamming
~ No arguing
~ Under any circumstances, NO "WELL EXCUUUUUUUSE ME, PRINCESS!"
~ You can discuss other BTBs here, it's fine. Don't shill your BTB needlessly, however
~ If you have a question regarding "What Should You Do," just go with your gut instinct
~ Use references like google or onlineworldofwrestling for answers to questions you could easily find yourself

Post away.

Not down in the dumps Melvis, just angered at people talking about pointless crap.

Oh, and when people use AutoFormat and it is Triple Spaced, it really annoys the hell out of me, to the point where I just click out of the thread.

I actually made the AutoFormat work the other day with SmackDown, actually. :D I was surprised. Oddly enough, the stuff I had bolded originally while I was writing the show on Word was fine, but when I quickly went back to it to bold all the speaker's names, suddenly on here, there were spacing issues. So instead, I left them unbolded and bolded them on here, and it all looked fine. The main thing I had to remember not to do was center it until the last moment, because if you do that and 'preview post' it immediately screws your spacing up when you go to post. So it worked. I think ASCS Shock said he had a way of making it work, too, if he feels like re-sharing his wisdom.

Youtube video links are fun but don't have them fifty times in one show for every entrance theme you use. It gets annoying.

You can have them on special moments and occasions to emphasize the return of someone from injury like when HHH comes back or Jericho then I am sure it would be cool to have an entrance video link posted. Just it looses it's effect if it is done fifty times in one show for every promo and match that someone comes to the ring.

I remember when I first became active around here was when the shit hit the fan about how active this thread was due to people talking about soaps and the like in here. My how things have changed in what is now two years since I became active here, I believe.

Having just got into ROH myself I was thinking the same thing - Emperor had the beginnings of one I believe, I genuinely don't know how far he got before he packed it in, and if memory serves there was someone called Jon Undead who started one and posted barely a show or two before he too, packed it in. He said he was superior to JPH, but considering we've agreed I need JPH more than oxygen itself, I'm afraid I can't agree with that statement.

To be succinct, I haven't seen a long one during 2010, which has been my general active time period, really. Someone who's been around for a couple of years might be more helpful. :eek:

The only one I've seen and liked was from Emp, which went for two shows iirc. It owned fairly hard for those two shows too.

There was also WrestlingGFX, who had one of the worst BTBs I've ever seen. Basically, if you're going to do ROH, do it properly. Book like ROH would, not like WWE would.

edit - DC's thread: http://www.wrestlingforum.com/booker/493678-greatest-thread-has-ever-lived.html

Oh god, I remember that. I think I must have repressed the memory, his thread was god awful. I made his BTB banner to his exact specifications, size and all, and I believe he suffered from severe Backlash syndrome, asking for reviews and complaining when no-one read his thread.

And he plagiarised GFX, too, I believe. Oh the irony.
