Thanks everyone for all the nice comments. You're very welcome! We're happy that most people are pleased with the new arrangement. As I said, I just hope that the show can attract more viewers so that we can continue to enjoy it.

This is so much better. Thank you, Jimmer. I think what really helps the most are the explanations under the thread titles. Now we no longer have to say "I'm not sure if I'm in the right thread, but..." Also, thanks for taking the words "general discussion" out of the clue thread title. That was my personal point of confusion.

Well, I have to say THANK YOU!! too... only I dont fit in any category!! ( I'm sure no one is surprised at this!!) I just want to "fit" in - discuss with respect to the thread topics... (see I may read all over the 'net to find out the spoiler, and I will post it in the appropriate thread, but I wont discuss that knowledge anywere - mainly because I'm a true skeptic??!!) Jimmer - what about show night?

Show night can go in the "General Discussion (No Producer Clues)" thread. We think it will fit fine into that thread and then if someone wants to rewind, freeze frame and watch in detail, they can post whatever they find by doing that in the Producer Clues thread.

Thank you Jimmer, even though I didn't voice my opinion on the matter. Mainly because I was going to read every possible thread that we had on the mole. he-he I think that the threads that we now have will be great! I'm also glad that we have a thread to talk about the eps. I love hear anyone take on the shows it self not just the clues! Thank you again!

Just popped my head in to see if anyone strong-armed Jimmer to make another new thread...... I have been away from my pc for a few hours and I just wanted to check to see if there are any new threads in the works....... As I type I am sure there is one in progress :::::::::whistles::::::::::
Hehehehe this is going to become an inside joke at TVCH, you do all realize that, right?  I heard there was going to be a Regents exam on this very subject of thread creation/modification/identification/classification and then there will be general discussion about the threads afterwards (coffee and donuts for those who wish to discuss the aftermath of the exam) lol! ok ok, I am taking my wiseass self out of this thread now, lol (try not to create any new threads while I am away!)

I think there are a lot of different posters here, particularly just after show night, but it's really a show you want to see for yourself at your leisure. In Survivor or particularly Big Brother, sometimes I don't even want to watch the show after finding out who goes; with the Mole the show IS the event, not the elimination. Like a drama, or like Lost! So although I love talking about the mole you won't get me in this thread until I've seen the show myself, which might, sadly, be a whole day after it airs.

I have been hearing a lot about Lost, I have never seen it, but it sounds like something I would really like.

I think that Lost is a great show – one of the most original and interesting shows to come along in years. I don't know how much you know about it, but it basically started with a story about plane crash survivors who are on an isolated island and unable to contact civilization. Which would be interesting enough but there is so much more. Without giving too much away (because this isn't a Lost thread) it turned out that some of the survivors are connected in certain ways, there are other people on the island and the island itself has some unusual qualities. They further add to the story by showing scenes from other times in the characters' lives. They have a huge number of clues and people spend a lot of time trying to figure out what is happening and what will happen next. The only downside to Lost is that it might be hard to fully appreciate the entire plot if you start viewing it part way through. Plus some people found it complicated and felt that the story was too involved and slow developing (though it has sure picked up speed in the most recent season!). I certainly think you would enjoy it in any event and there are always DVDs of the past seasons as well.

Thank you for letting me know the plot, Jimmer. My DS watches it and loves it. Maybe I will rent it on netflix, it sounds like my kind of show!

Jimmer, can we please have a show night folder - sigh I understand, there are so few of us - but gosh darn it tonight just proves that there are red herrings - that nothing we type is true spoilers - it was all speculations!!

Poor Jimmer, it's like a tennis game. LOL Then BB will start and more band width as we get closer to the end. Many are watching but we just don't post. Appreciate those who do the show as I am one of those watching every movement for clues.

Since there still seems to be a little confusion, I recommend that we take a look at the descriptions for each thread. We can see the descriptions under each thread in the main Mole folder. There is a General Discussion (no Producer Clues) thread. Essentially this thread is to discuss and speculate about who is the Mole based mostly on what the players themselves would have seen during the game. The East Coast discussion of the show fits fine into that thread because they are mostly just showing us what the players would have seen anyway. The Producer Clues thread is for discussing "producer clues". This is a thread for discussing things that viewers have found using slow motion, freeze frame, text messaging, web clues and introduction clues. These are what we will call "Producer Clues". Clues that the viewer can see but that weren't generally available to the contestants when they were part of the show. Finally, we have a season spoiler thread. This is for information you can't get from the episodes or from official network sources or anything else that you think is a complete giveaway clue to the identity of the Mole or what happens in future episodes. Hope this helps and the main thing (not to sound like a broken record but it is important to me) that we don't lose sight of is that we all enjoy this show and want to have fun talking about it. If someone posts in the wrong thread it is not the end of the world. The Mods will keep an eye out and try to fix whatever needs fixin'!

The trouble is that the people who watch the shows for clues can't really discuss the show without mentioning the clues they saw... my idea of "production" clues were things like someone mentioning a phrase that Jon had said earlier; someone wearing something a little odd, not just the very strict definition we seem to have now. The "no clues" people don't like those clues, as we found out in week one with that non production helmet clue pointing to Victoria which started off the thread problems.... (sorry, rushing here, got to go to bed!).

IMO the way that we have defined it to best accommodate everyone is basically things that everyone can see if they watch the regular show in real time are discussed and speculated about in the regular General Discussion thread. So someone wearing a certain outfit or making a certain comment or sitting in a certain sequence or performing badly on a task is not considered a "production clue". It's just a regular part of watching and discussing the show and figuring out who the Mole is. As we all saw, if we don't discuss these clues, there isn't a lot to discuss. A production clue is something where the viewer has to use slow motion or freeze-frame to see the clue, or something that has been typed on the screen and flies by during the introduction, or something found on the ABC website, etc. It is something that you couldn't see by watching the show live. Those are discussed in the Production Clues thread because some people don't want to see those clues.

Have we pushed out all the people who were posting in the "No-Clues" thread in the early episodes, who only wanted to discuss behavioural clues and not physical ones? It just sounds like the old "No-Clues" thread has become the "Clues and Speculation" thread (minus the very few times we mentioned the clues that came from the website) and a lot of people didn't want to see those sort of discussions. Remember the upset in week one started because several people pointed out that Victoria was the only one with the green thumbprint helmet? That wasn't a production clue in the strict definition we're using here, it was on everybody's screen for 30 seconds, but a lot of people didn't want to know about that. But I'm not one of those people, so maybe I'll just keep my mouth shut and let those people complain if they want to!

Yes, and everyone thought they were spoiled because of the thumb print clue being pointed out on Victoria's helmet (even me) and today she's gone and it wasn't really a spoiler. That is why it should have stayed one thread, because it's all about the speculation and there is no guarantee of what is a spoiler or not, that's the beauty of the show.

Jimmer - Thanks for clarifying once again the threads established... I was so confused thinking I was typing in the "right" folder, only to find another poster furiously typing the nights show in the other folder!! I just know ABC is going to cancel the show before we figure out where to post what!! *Grin and most importantly - for allowing discussions, and questioning - as well as your patience in answering!! I appreciate TVCH!!
