This is the post that I posted in our former forum "Actors, Models, Personalities and Places" - I was thinking that said forum topic had become kind of redundant and members agree. Or at least Tod does. So I've moved the answered and unanswered "Who's that?" type of questions here and killed the forum topic. It doesn't mean you can't ask these questions, just that it's more likely these days to ask it under the ad in question, and if we don't have it you might as well ask in in this forum topic instead. :)
Reasons for killing: We seldom get talent credit, which is a shame really, so I often find that I have no idea who an actress/actor is, and see many questions in here go unanswered as nobody else seems to know either.
Reasons for keeping: Well, clearly fans want to know, and maaaybe we'll luck out on day and a talent agent starts hanging out here pushing their particular talent pool. Or some master talent trivia master who knows it all will arrive and save everyone from their nagging questions. It seems pretty unlikely though.
What do you think, despite the high unanswered question ratio here, do you still find this forum topic useful? Should it stay.. Or go? Yeay or nay?
Making this sticky as I'm now putting this forums live or die faith firmly in the hands of members.

Ok, think we're reaching a consensus here. Moving unanswered ones to "searching for" in case the askees will get lucky and get a reply. ;P
Edit: Now killed the old forum. Feels a little "cleaner" now.
Yes, I think it makes more sense for people to ask those questions under the ad the question is about.
Well, yeah maybe true - but I was also thinking that with everyone able to read the comments under a commercial now (even non logged in people) one can simply ask under each ad who the talent might be. Wouldn't that make more sense? That makes this forum kind of redundant.
Don't kill it. All of the forums should have more members answering questions, right now too many people sign in just to ask one and never "give back" by replying to other members questions. That's the problem, not the topic.
