Title: Creating New Topics
Post by: Dunrobin on December 30, 2006, 01:09:23 PM: We are frequently asked why Porcupines (new members) do not see a "New Topic" button on most of the boards. New members are restricted to only posting replies until they have a total of 10 posts and advanced to the next level, Grapehead. The reason for this restriction is a long story, but metaldams summed it up very well, recently, when he said:

Quote from: metaldams
Unfortunately, this site has had a lot of trolls and people who just can't write legibly over the years littering the site. By limiting where new posters can post, we can prevent this site from being littered by the bad apples.

To make it easier for new members to advance, I just modified the "Fan Reviews" section on the episode pages to count any new reviews towards your post count on the message boards. This will let you quickly boost your total post count by reviewing a few of your favorite episodes.

The Fan Reviews are moderated, and won't be displayed or counted until they are approved by one of the Admins. Please be sure to read Helpful Tips On Getting Your Fan Comment Posted (http://threestooges.net/forums/index.php?topic=994.0) before you begin adding reviews.

While I'm not a newbie when it comes to viewing the site, I am one when it comes to posting. I certainly understand the concerns about people who post spam or can't put together a coherent sentence, and I hope to enjoy the quality postings I've seen here on this board!

Hopefully, Dunrobin will see your post and will look into creating one. If he doesn't see it, trying posting a new topic under the Questions and Answers (http://threestooges.net/forums/index.php?board=2.0) category and ask him if he can add that section.

Title: Biography of actress marjoie White
Post by: garysheski on September 07, 2008, 09:30:43 PM: Hello, one and all! I've just completed a 3-year work on the life and career of actress Majorie White, whom we all know from WOMAN HATERS, DIPLOMANIACS, and others of the era. I've traced her family history to the mid-19th century, and it covers those remote origins to her death in 1935. It includes mini-bios of her sister, and demographical information on her entire family through the generations. Keep in mind, this is a serious biographical/historical documentary, far removed from the comedy of the Three Stooges. Although it's laced with bits of sardonical humor, it tells the life and career of a woman with so much promise, who died so young. The Three Stooges are mentioned only only briefly, and that in my overview of "WOMAN HATERS", near to the end. I'veworked dilligently on this the past 3 years, with the help of many other "Stooge-o-philes", to compile a story of a beautiful, promising young woman, who died a tragic death at such an early age.

If you're interested in obtaining a copy, before it goes to a formal publisher, contact me directly at GMZEWSKI@AOL>COM, I'll give you detailed information on how to order a copy from me.

There's still some details I've yet to obtain. for my personal files, but what you'll find in my copy is sure to enthrall everyone intrested in her personal life and acting career. Hope to hear from you! Godspeed, Gary
Title: Re: Creating New Topics
Post by: garysheski on September 10, 2008, 09:47:26 PM: Hello, again Everyone! This time, now that my Marjorie White bio ad is being broadcast to the world, I'll try to post here the "synopsis" of the story to spark your interest. Here Goes:
Synopsis for “Marjorie White

“Marjorie White” is the life story of a young actress, virtually forgotten today, but popular to a dedicated number of film historians, who lived and died in the early years of the 20th century. It covers her from her start in the performing world, in her earliest childhood, to her untimely death in the 1930s.
Most, but not all, of the material in the story has been culled from numerous sources, with my own words interspersed, to tell of this beautiful woman’s life, at home, on stage, and later on the silver screen. It covers aspects of both her personal and professional lives, in the most minute detail I could unearth, to show her as a person, a woman, and a real-life human being, rather than simply a grainy image, seen for a few minutes on 75-year-old black-and-white film.
Any number of other brief bios of her have been done by other authors/fans, and most, if not all, were culled from pre-existing publicity information, most rife with rumors, erroneous beliefs, wrong dates and sequences of events, but I’ve gone far beyond those, into the depths of history, from her parents’ origins in the mid-19th century, through her own life. It is my hope that the data I’ve uncovered will lay to rest the untruths, dates and places, of the events of her life, to “set the record straight”.
I mulled over any number of cliches and catchy phrases for a title, but as I grew to know her, I gained a modicum of admiration and respect for the memory of her, and settled on affording her the simple dignity of using her proper name “MARJORIE WHITE”, as the book’s title.
While I trust the 100 pages will bring smiles and pleasure to readers, there are a few areas which may tend to read a bit slow, especially geographical and statistical data further along, but there’s a pleasant surprise at the very end, which I’m sure will bring a gasp of delight, a warmth to the heart, and an exclamation of “OH! MY!” from everyone.
Keep in mind, that although Ms. White was among the best of light comediennes of her era, this is a serious piece of work, far removed from the comedy of the Three Stooges, who are mentioned only briefly in the pages covering the film “WOMAN HATERS”, and then only as part of my broad overview of that one.
In brief, this book is the culmination of three years of hard work which has led me deeply into the fields of geographical and political history, and more importantly, genealogical research, from which I’ve learned such a great deal, to keep for my use in any future works I may do.
My thanks to everyone who has helped me compile this work. Please contact me to obtain your copy, and YES, your comments and criticisms are most welcome, be they good or bad. Every response I get is deeply appreciated and will be acknowledged. Read it and enjoy!

Gary Olszewski

If Besser really is your great uncle, that's pretty cool! I liked him better as Stinky on the ABBOTT AND COSTELLO show than as a Stooge. He had a few funny moments with the boys (QUIZ WHIZZ being my fave), but he was hysterical with Bud and Lou. Welcome to the board.

While we're bragging about relatives, my great grandfather was supposedly a cinematographer in the teens for William Fox when he was on the east coast. I have no way of proving this, but he claimed this, his age, geography, and history of Fox studios match up, and he lived a pretty colorful life.

Also, are you sure you're just not seeing where to add the review? At the very right of the screen, you should see "Add Review" in tiny letters. See attached screenshot.

That's great! I was the same way, and it's like discovering them all over again!

Post by: Final Shemp on February 27, 2010, 02:16:14 PM: K, question. I just found this thread explaining this policy. Luckily I've only attempted to make one thread, but the wierd thing is it actually let me.

Is this only enabled in certain parts of the board? My post in the Swap Meet forum went up just fine.

The Swap Meet board is a special exception to the rule; Porcupines are allowed to start new topics there (subject to moderation, of course.)

Why should I be forced to ask 10 lame questions or comment about things just to get to the next level when all I'm trying to find out is what episode moe sings rock-a bye baby, and the song ends with..."and break his little neck". No handcuffs for me. Lame forum. I won't be back. Control freaks.

If you read the first post in this thread (http://threestooges.net/forums/index.php/topic,1526.msg9498.html#msg9498) it explains why this rule exists.

If you have a question, there is a thread in the General Discussion board where newbies can post questions about the Stooges (http://threestooges.net/forums/index.php/topic,778.0.html).

I think the episode you're looking for is "Three Loan Wolves" but I may be wrong because he does say "break your neck" but doesn't really sing Rock A Bye Baby.

There is a thread dedicated for questions for newbie members....

Probably won't be back anytime soon though. I belong to lot's of forums, and never have seen so much control freakishness. 10 posts, type these letters, answer these questions.....gimme a break. Sorry, can't buy what you are sellin'.

Post by: phil5775 on August 05, 2013, 09:04:26 PM: Since I can't yet start a new topic, just want to say thank you for including the shooting dates for ALL the films, especially the Curly's. I've been trying what seems like forever to pinpoint when he had his first stroke, some time between Idiot's Deluxe and If A Body meets A Body. But after seeing the feature Rockin' In the Rockies, it's apparent that it occurred sometime between 10/44 (Idiot's Deluxe) and Rockin's 12/44 shooting date.

Also, we now know that Matriphony was the first short filmed after Pearl Harbor and the U.S.'s involvement in WWII.

Good job on the research.

Sorry about that - it was my doing. I was going to move the posts to a new "dating" thread, then thought about how that could get out of hand and deleted the whole thing.

No comment about whether you should seek help, by the way... ;)

A Stooge dating board? Perhaps it's a good idea you let that idea pass, though my brother has told me I should go into a bar walk up to 100 women and use "Curly or Shemp?" as a pick up line. He says the one who answers is the girl for me. :P I'd actually be interested in the reactions of the other 99, that would make a hilarious YouTube video.

We are frequently asked why Porcupines (new members) do not see a "New Topic" button on most of the boards. New members are restricted to only posting replies until they have a total of 10 posts and advanced to the next level, Grapehead. The reason for this restriction is a long story, but metaldams summed it up very well, recently, when he said:

To make it easier for new members to advance, I just modified the "Fan Reviews" section on the episode pages to count any new reviews towards your post count on the message boards. This will let you quickly boost your total post count by reviewing a few of your favorite episodes.

The Fan Reviews are moderated, and won't be displayed or counted until they are approved by one of the Admins. Please be sure to read Helpful Tips On Getting Your Fan Comment Posted (http://threestooges.net/forums/index.php?topic=994.0) before you begin adding reviews.

This explains it. I was confused.

OK, now I have more than 10 posts. How come I'm still showing as "Porcupine"?

...Oh, I see. It changes at 15, not 10. Never mind.

15 posts?? What if the reply is too short or simple such as "hahaha" or "thats funny", does that still count as a post? hahaha. I'm at 5 posts so far.

Anyway, I wish to start a new topic regarding the Warner Comedy Teams GOLD RAIDERS/MEET THE BARON DVD Combo, for which there have been numerous reports of GOLD RAIDERS not playing, and would greatly appreciate some assistance in being able to start new topics again, if at all possible. Thanks!

Post by: Curly Van Dyke on December 08, 2019, 12:45:57 PM: I thought the team of Gus Schilling and Richard Lane was the best of the Columbia "instant" Teams.
They really worked well together with Dick,the fast-talking Bud Abbott type and Gus,the Patsy.
Gus had a great voice as well-sort of a cross between Phil Silvers and Joe Besser.
Their short"Pardon my Terror" is great, seeing it was intended for the Stooges(later made as Who Done It?)
You get more Physical gags from the pair along with Stooge regulars Kenneth McDonald,Vernon Dent and Christine
McIntyre,
