Re: a website with audio described movies.
It really should. @Simba: Creating a second forum doesn't do anything to fix the current one. Even a second forum room. What we can do to bridge the gap even more is to instead:
1. Stop the dickwaving contests between different gamer-types; dare I say it, even Blindfold Games does have a crowd to cater to despite the investment vs return value on some of their stuff. Not everyone is going to prefer an fps, or a level-grinder, or any of that, just because for some it isn't their cup of tea. And you know what, that's ok. But some people take the fight to, quote, simplistic games, way too far, without considering the older less technically literate iPhone beginner who wants some quick games to play, and may not mind spending the money on stuff.
2. Cut the cloning, seriously this needs no explanation.
3. Don't complain/leave criminally low ratings when accessibility is not implemented but is showing signs of progress. I.e. don't do what the Code7 complainers did a year and a half ago, or what happened with the Crafting Kingdom developer.
This post is going to piss off some. But unfortunately, as was proven by Unfiltered Blind Tweets being harassed into shutting down their account, most of the accountability avoiders in a community will immediately get on the defensive when its themselves who they are hearing about. And that, kind of needs to stop if we're going to get anywhere. By saying ahh screw it, let's just create a new forum room/forum, that, whether intended or not, is just an easy way to disassociate from stuff rather than actively try to fix our problems. Beyond that, gatekeeping has never been, and will never be, a good way to bridge communities. It does quite the opposite, in fact. Furthermore it's also kind of a slap in the face to this site that has been around longer than most social networking sites today, probably about as long as Google's been common.
