Okay, Rome fans.
Some of us have been seriously guilty of poluting other threads with personal chit-chat.

(sorry for that)

Sooo, here's the thread where that is welcome.

Here, we can share personal ruminations, compare notes on the show, guide others to things we've noticed on other threads, etc.

Enjoy!

Not only that, CC, but 24+ hours can pass without a single post.

What the f*ck happened around here?

I thought the colors on my screen screwed up. And only 4 pages of 25 threads each?!?!? Don't make us black & blue, HBO!

EDIT:
OMG, Caesar's gone.

This is a a "Triton" bass boat. A very good offering was made to Triton, so the gods are with me.

Is he going to have an ongoing part? I think I'm about the only woman I know that didn't find Furio hot. And I only like the 'Criminal Intent' episodes with Chris Noth. That other guy bugs the shit outta me - sheesh, he knows everything about everything - very annoying.

You're probably aware of this, ladies and gents, but just in case...

The price of the Rome Season I DVD set on Amazon has gone down from 60-something bucks to 30-something.

You can also download an entire season (1 or 2) onto your iPod from iTunes, for about 29.99 per season, 2.99 per episode. If you can stand watching "Rome" on that teeny tiny screen, that is.

I agree Nomad, that would be fun...post a message and keep it on top is probably the best way....unless you can think of something else.

Yeah, it looks like a natural death.

I just read a bunch of the discussion over there. Basically some profanity filled fights on other forums forced the HBO mods to institute stricter rules on profanity, universally. And also, anyone who posts a link to anything "inappropriate" (even if it Rome/HBO related) will have their post deleted. I know this happened to someone on Polly's thread a couple days ago and apparently it will always be this way going forward.

So the question is Atia; does what we do in your Villa count as profane? I shall think not.:-p

Not as far as I know Alki. It's just been extremely quiet.

Hey has anyone kept up with the Feedback Forum discussions on HBO mods' plans to further limit use of profanity? It sounds like something's afoot.

Good grief! What's going on here? I stay away for a week and look what happens.

Is the Rome forum about to be closed down? I'm at sea. When did this happen?
