Hey guys,
I'm sure most of you have already noticed there's been a few changes around here and while they haven't been particularly quiet they haven't been acknowledged by anyone officially - so here's a quick explainer on what's going on.
https://filmstudybaltimore.com/ - which is the new(ish) site of Ken McKusick (who's articles many of you are already familiar with) and Josh Sroka where all their work and podcasts are located - were looking for a forum to partner with to aid discussion and engagement with their content.
Here at PurpleFlock we're proud of how technical and intelligent our members are and it seemed like a good fit to explore this partnership on our end.
With that in mind here are some of the changes that you may be interested in:
For some of you, nothing will have really changed barring a convenient ability to interact more closely with someone whose work you already consume. For those of you unaware of Ken's work I encourage you to check it out.
After all that I just want to say thank you to all of our members here who have turned this into a flourishing community that's steadily growing and will continue to grow and would like to officially welcome filmstudybaltimore to the forum as partners.
Feel free to discuss this development below (but all posting about their content should take place in the appropriate threads within the Filmstudy Baltimore section of the forum).
If you have any concerns or problems with any of the changes above (or others not-mentioned) please feel free to PM myself (@rossihunter2) or @RavensMania and we'll do our best to understand and deal with them.
Thanks,
The Purpleflock Team

Here at PurpleFlock we're proud of how technical and intelligent our members are and it seemed like a good fit to explore this partnership on our end.
With that in mind here are some of the changes that you may be interested in:
- We now have an entire section (here) on this forum dedicated to the filmstudybaltimore content (be that articles or podcasts). For every new thing posted on their site there will be a corresponding thread for discussion in that section of our forum.
- In that section you will also find a mailbag thread - this is a supplement to the twitter #filmstudymailbag where you can ask questions for the next episode of the podcast - but the mailbag thread on our forum is a legitimate and effective place to ask also - I had a question answered on the podcast just this week.
- There are direct links to the filmstudybaltimore site directly at the top menu bar of this site with quick links to take you straight to the articles or podcasts section. Likewise there are corresponding links back to the filmstudy section of our forum here from their site.
- This forum has completely replaced the comment section of their site and as such you may have noticed a slight uptick in newer users already even if they aren't all fully active commenters yet but we have had around 150 new members sign up to the forum in the last fortnight or so.
For some of you, nothing will have really changed barring a convenient ability to interact more closely with someone whose work you already consume. For those of you unaware of Ken's work I encourage you to check it out.
