The good news is, a better version of the No Film School website is coming soon. The bad news is, the comments won’t make it. Here’s how to save yours.
TL;DR: go to your profile page and click “Comment History.”
A brief walk down memory lane
The current version of the No Film School website, launched all the way back in 2014, is definitely showing its age. What I originally started as a blog in 2010 with no byline (because I wrote every article myself and “by me” seemed redundant) had grown to a multi-author site with millions of pageviews. For the relaunch in 2014, I wanted to turn NFS into a full-blown community site, which would hopefully give rise to active, helpful discussions among filmmakers.
It didn’t work.
Our forums were inundated by spam almost immediately, and we lacked a number of features that would’ve been crucial for the community to thrive (notifications, messaging, moderation tools, etc). Despite our lofty ambitions, the site continued largely as before — as a blog, not a forum.
