The best thing about lurking in MoPo is once you filter out the
incessant ads and self congratulatory posts you can still gets you lots
of info from it, so stay a lurker - or at the least a part-time lurker.
But like many I would also enjoy seeing your collection, soooo>>>>
I would also recommend:
1. Join Photobucket - it's a free service for hosting images. If you
can attach find a file on your computer you can add images to
Photobucket. Photobucket also gives you the ability to easily post any
images you have almost anywhere on the internet with 2 clicks (yes that
simple).
2. Join for free here: https://secure.photobucket.com/register
3. Join AllPosterForum (http://www.allposterforum.com/) - it has a
wide and active membership, best of all some people don't argue!
4. Re Point #3 (above), please add the word 'much' to the end of that
sentence and before the exclamation mark, thanks... Just remember like
most social gatherings, and as I have said before "Trying to understand
the behaviour of some people is like trying to smell the colour 9."
5. Once 'inside' there are lots of 'threads' you can join/keep a
watch on and add comments and images too - despite the fact I am one who
enjoys the beautiful women movie posters ('40s-'60s - not so much the
horror ones) there is something for everyone in there:
http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/board,57.0.html
5. You can even start your own thread about your own collection and
share your images and thoughts on it here:
http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/board,4.0.html I can assure you,
your posts and collection will be well appreciated by the majority
6. Do join send an email to [email protected] he will add you as a
member and then it is relatively simple from there on.
However, if that seems too much then I am more than happy to step you
through anything technical, I have a few clues on these things and
because I am not a geek by trade (and a little older than many of those
geeks too) I can talk in a language that you will understand, I will
type slowly too so you don't get left behind, most importantly what I
don't know I will completely make it up as I go along and with such
skill and professionalism you will be none the wiser... All that said, I
am more than happy to help out where/if I can and if asked...no strings,
well maybe buy me a beer or a glass of NZ Sauvignon Blanc next time
you're passing - I am in Sydney, suggest you don't drive.

I have mostly been lurking on the Mopo site. I would like to share my
collecting interests with the other members but have not been very
successful in posting photos to the web. The problem is that if you
talk about a favorite poster for example Florentine Dagger one sheet
which is still a favorite of mine after owning it for 25 years, very
few people have seen it and so it is not likely to stimulate much
interest or discussion. Allmovie posters has a thread where you can
share your collection but they are heavily into post 1960 posters of
monsters/scantily clad women and I am interested in 20s, 30s, and 40s
crime, detective, mystery and film noir genres.
I do attend Cinefest, Cinevent and Cinecon and bring an album of my
posters with me to share with the collectors and dealers there. I find
being able to discuss the art work, not the value of the posters, and
to comment back and forth about them takes away some of the negative
aspects such as the tendency for things to turn into a bragging match.
In addition I am genuinely interested in what the other guy collects
and am always eager to see what he has in his collection.
I remain limited in ability to post photos to sites and has limited
what I can share. I have never had any training on the computer except
for specific programs that were used at work, so everything I can do I
pretty much learned myself. I am not any good at reading the manuals
to figure out how to do something and I also find that just being told
do this and then hit that key just doesn't work for me. Unfortunately
when it comes to computers I just have to be shown in person how to do
something. The library has free classes but they only cover things
like email for people who have never used a computer. Maybe others can
share their collecting interests on Mopo, it would certainly stimulate
more discussion.
