I added some more pages to the feed on the Main Page. Not just my own either...old favorites like ''[[Heat]]'' (still our most popular) and ''[[The Matrix]]'', as well as various articles from the past few months by myself, Gunmaster, MoviePropMaster, and Orca. My criteria was to add thorough pages that have screencaps for all of the guns listed, and which generally meet high standards. This is, of course, your site, so feel free to judge which pages meet your standards for the Main Page, but I just think we should make sure we're promoting the best pages by our users. | I added some more pages to the feed on the Main Page.

Hah! I could hardly call it my site - too many great users, including yourself, have made huge contributions of time and energy to call it *mine* - I'm just trying to keep the hardware up to our growing needs and the site backed up daily! :) [[User:Bunni|bunni]] 03:38, 3 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
Revision as of 03:38, 3 October 2008
Site down
Was it my imagination or was IMFDB down for at least one day? Is this something we should be concerned about? :) Was it the server change over? Things DO LOOK much faster right now. :) Hope everything is okay and we haven't moved the servers to Haiti or some other hurricane ravaged place. ;) MPM2008
Hey
Hey Bunni, thanks for helping me create the Resident Evil page, just to let you know it's all done. Also, I wanted to know if you allowed 18th century weapons on this site too because I'm thinking about doing a page on The Last Samurai. Thanks.
Reply
Thanks, I just wanted to make sure it was okay with you before I started, and no problem, it was fun creating the Resident Evil page.
The Last Samurai is finished
Hey Bunni, I just wanted to let you know The Last Samurai page is finished, but some of the images I put up might need to be fixed. Sorry to bother you about it, but I don't know how to make the images fit together as well as you can. And also, I noticed you are creating a page on Heroes. I know a website where you can find the guns used on the show, go to this site:
http://heroeswiki.com/Main_Page
And search weapons, and it should bring you to a page that shows you the weapons that are used in the show, hope it helps.
Taking a short break.
Hey Bunni, I just want to let you know I'll be taking a short break so I can think of a film to make a page about next. Also, thanks for editing the pages Orca and I made and putting them on Wikipedia.
Image:Prof-Case.jpg semi-autos
Took a look at the pistols in Image:Prof-Case.jpg, and I believe the one in the back is a Beretta Inox while the one in the front seems to be some sort of custom job using a 1911 frame. I think the revolver -might- be a Taurus of some kind. Orca1 9904 17:02, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for the tip, that looks like the gun. RE: Apocalypse should be done today, I just have to add three more guns.
Re: Scarface
Thanks, I also like the job you did on Saving Private Ryan, you take better pictures then I do! Also, it might be awhile before I make another movie page, I have to get more Fullscreen dvds because most of my dvds are in Widescreen, and my picture don't come out so good with the two black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, but I'll do as much as I can. And thanks again for commenting my work on Scarface.
The Beretta/M16 issue
I think that the M16 rifle series page should be kept together, since the guns listed on the page are essentially the same weapon, though giving the Beretta 93R its' own page is possible, so long as it's done well and kept up to the same quality standards as the other gun pages on the site. Orca1 9904 22:39, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- I'm afraid I goofed on making a page for the Beretta 93R; it somehow ended up getting labeled as "Beretta 92". If you could fix this, I'd greatly appreciate it. Orca1 9904 23:12, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Disreguard, Alienqueen11 took care of it. Orca1 9904
Merge Sig Sauer P220-series pistol pages?
I would like to suggest that all the pages for the Sig-Sauer P220-series pistols be merged into one, since they're all essentially variants of the same weapon. This merger would include the Sig Sauer P226 and Sig Sauer P228 pages, and any others I might have overlooked. Orca1 9904 16:56, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
- I've copied the Sig P228 material onto the Sig P226 page, I just need someone to retitle the P226 page and redirect the P228 page. Orca1 9904 20:21, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
RE: Congrats
Thanks, that's great that they're featuring it. It's also good for this site since it's being advertised. And sure, I'll keep checks on the Scarface page, I already deleted one vulgar comment, I wonder how you block users like that from editing.
We need moderators
Hey Bunni, I was wondering if you knew how to get some moderators on this site to block some of the users because there's been alot of vandalism since we're gettting alot more visitors. This one user deleted the content on the main page, Scarface, wallpaper, and support, but don't worry I fixed them.
Relation between IMFDB and a former Wikipedia article?
Hey Bunni, I was curious, aside from the overall theme, is there any relation between this site and the former Wikipedia article "List of Firearms in Films" and its' sister article, "List of Firearms in Video Games? I was a frequent contributor to that article and a fervent advocate against its' deletion, and was wondering if that article is living on here? Orca1 9904 22:05, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Re: Adding Admininstrators
Sure, I be more then happy to take up the status, just let me know when it's done, Thanks alot. Alienqueen11.
Re: Wikipedia article
I'm afraid I don't know any of the admins over at Wikipedia, I'm just another user there. As for your suggestion that I be a moderator here, I could give it a shot. Also, don't forget to retitle the Sig Sauer P226 page so it covers all the P220-series pistols, and/or let me know how to do it should you give me moderator privledges. Orca1 9904 01:07, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Suggestion for movie articles
I just had an idea to help add something to the movie articles. How about adding movie poster or DVD/VHS cover images to them, like their articles over at Wikipedia have? Just a thought. Orca1 9904 01:25, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
The Sig P220 pistol page
Thanks for fixing the Sig Sauer P220 pistol page. I'll start fixing the links as nessicary. Orca1 9904 02:24, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Re:Digg
Cool, You mean vote for it? I have to have an account there to do it, I'll make one. I just voted for or digged it, it has 7 diggs now.
New Category suggestion
Hey Chris, I was wondering if you could make a new category for movie posters & video covers? I'm considering adding movie posters & case cover images to some of the articles to improve them, but need a category to put those pictures in, since they don't exactly qualify as screenshots. Orca1 9904 23:04, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Re: Cover and Poster Categories
How about we combine them together into "Poster and Cover Art"? make things a bit simpler and avoid mis-categorizing. Orca1 9904 02:10, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Poster and Cover Art category created
I just created the "Poster and Cover Art" category. If you could create a link for it on the main page, I would appreciate it. Orca1 9904 22:18, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Re: Funny
lol, that is funny. I still have more stuff to add before it's complete though. And also, when do you need those revolvers from Sin City identified? Alienqueen11.
Sin City Revolvers
I know some of those revolvers you're uploading, would you like me to tell you what they are here, or do you just want me to edit the screenshots? Alienqueen11.
RE: Sin City
Yeah, I was thinking that too, plus a few of them look like Colt Peacemakers or Single Action Armies.
Call for screenshots
I was wondering if you or Alienqueen111 could help add some screenshots to some of the film & game articles I've made? I'm only limited to images I've been able to scour off the internet, which sadly isn't much. Any help you two could provide would be greatly appreciated. Orca1 9904 21:56, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Update on SC.
I identified some of weapons, and created some headlines for them and placed thier screenshots were they needed to be. but there are still four unknown guns though. Alienqueen11.
Re: Screenshots
Thanks man, I appreciate it. Orca1 9904 22:25, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Ghost's 'mystery pistol' in The Matrix Reloaded
From what I've been able to dig up, it looks like Ghost (Andrew Wong)'s mystery pistol in The Matrix Reloaded is a customized SIG P220-series pistol, most likely a P229. Orca1 9904 03:57, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Screenshots
Hey bunni, do you how to take a screenshot from a Widescreen movie and not have those two black bars?
Nevermind actually, I found a way to get rid of the black bars. Alienqueen11.
BHD M1911A1
Why did you delete the M1911A1 pistol from the Black Hawk Down article? That weapon is indeed used in there by the Delta Force operators. In the scene at the beginning of the film where Blackburn and Eversmann first meet, you can see one of the Deltas draw and fire his M1911A1 on the shooting range. It is also used by Delta snipers Shughart and Gordon in their ill-fated attempt to defend the second crash site. Orca1 9904 20:58, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Shoot 'Em Up
In Shoot'Em UP, Mr. Smith is not firing a AKS-47U and the men chasing Mr.Smith are not firing FN SCAR's they both are armed with Mico Gali's.
The picture you have of the FN SCAR is not correct. You have a picture of a 'Robinson Arms XCR' with an EoTech sight. Here is a picture of an FN SCAR.
On a side note the SCAR has not been released to the civilain market yet, just like the H&K G36.--Gunner313 17:04, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
No Problem
No Problem, I blocked that user, and undid all his edits with the help of another user using an IP address so everything should be fine now. Alienqueen11.
Pistol ID Needed
Hey, do you think you could ID this pistol? I was browsing still images from The World Is Not Enough on IMDB and came upon this pic:
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Orca1 9904 20:40, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Re: Glad to see you back!
Sorry about my absence, my computer ate it hard back in mid-september, and my internet access has been spotty at best (presently using my mom's laptop, hence why I haven't made pages for some of the things I've seen in the interim). I'm trying to get my computer back up, but it's looking to be a lengthy process due to financial troubles. Orca1 9904
About Snatch
There are a bunch of pictures of the S&W 686 being used, but when you click the pics, it says they're Colt Pythons. The pictures aren't that clear, so I can't be too sure, but at least one (the pic with the titles in it and the arm in the picture) is very likely not a Colt Python. The Python has a noticeable "railing" on the top of the barrel. S&Ws don't. The "Boris" picture, though, does look like a Python, although the top of the gun is hard to see.
thanks
is this how this works? I hope so. anyway, thanks for the message. I was thinking about signing up.
RE: SVT-40
It's too big to upload here, but here's an imageshack link: http://img248.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tokarevsvt40fa7.jpg
I paid about $300 for mine after a large number were imported to Canada, they're going for $400-$500 now as they got bought up. We got them because Russia signed a agreement with the Clinton government not to export certain firearms (including the SVT-40) to the US.
I will warn you, it's a real pain to strip, so if you're at all lazy about cleaning don't fire surplus ammo in it. I use Igman and Bell almost exclusively, it's still pretty cheap and I don't feel bad about firing it in some of my rarer rifles.
Shooter
Hey Bunni, can you please upload more images for Shooter when you get the chance, I want to see more great screenshots. I'll greatly appreciate it, thanks.
Re:Platoon
Thanks. I still got plenty to do. It should be done in an hou or two.
By the way, why did you pick Platoon for the front page? Just curious.
And if okay with you, you should add some of the larger articles like Hard Boiled (biggest with 54 guns) or one of my lesser ones like Last Action Hero. Or find articles that convey the different time periods. My Quigley Down Under page shows the 19th century side of the site. Heat should definately deserve a spot on the main page, being such an infamous gun movie. Sorry to advertize my work, I'm just shooting some ideas. Great site, still got many more articles to come. On my to-do list are Rambo II & III, and I got this western film called "Young Guns" to do. I might do The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly eventually. Weekends will be my time to shine now that I'm back to school. -Gunmaster45
Check out the vandal
Some moron is now vandalizing the Commando Page. His last comment when i said 'not to delete page contents and replace them with gibberish' was "It's fun. Good luck". But he changes his IP address every time. ((Edit: AlienQueen took care of it. Thanks! ) I hate these vandals.
Old site + front page
I'm trying to make the front page code function again so that we can see the same stuff we used to see, but no go. Also, someone is still editing the old site, apparently after accessing it via the link on the front page...maybe we should lock it so that source code can still be copied, but no new changes can be made?
Images
I noticed that the images of guns and screenshots on movie pages on this server are a little pixaleted and fuzzy when they were crystal clear on the old server. I'm sorry to bug you about this issue, but I would like to know if this is just a bug that will be worked out (hopefully), thanks. --Alienqueen11 01:47, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
You're the second person to tell me this - but I don't see it at all in my browsers? I've looked on OS X and Windows XP with Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, and Chrome... 76.174.56.4 02:13, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
- Same here. I've been looking at several articles (mostly my own, admittedly), and I don't notice a difference. It might be the fact that I'm viewing the site on a laptop with a pretty small 13" screen, but I also viewed the site this morning on my desktop at work, which has a 19" monitor, and again...no difference in image quality that I could see.
I think I've found a solution, I found that if I change my Magnification from 100% to 101%, the images on the pages look fine, the page is a little wider, but it looks better. I think the site could have been slightly more magnified on the last server, is this possible?--Alienqueen11 03:25, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
Main Page
I added some more pages to the feed on the Main Page. Not just my own either...old favorites like Heat (still our most popular) and The Matrix, as well as various articles from the past few months by myself, Gunmaster, MoviePropMaster, and Orca. My criteria was to add thorough pages that have screencaps for all of the guns listed, and which generally meet high standards. This is, of course, your site, so feel free to judge which pages meet your standards for the Main Page, but I just think we should make sure we're promoting the best pages by our users.
