IMPORTANT Amendment to dates used in Celebs sections

[Wendigo]

We have been looking at this for a while and have now made a decision to change the dates we use in the Celebs sections

The current status is
Vintage - born pre 1936
Classic - born 1936 - 1975
Modern - born 1976 and later

The proposed change will be
Vintage - born pre 1945
Classic - born 1945 - 1984
Modern - born 1985 and later

This will be a massive change and will take a while to sort out so we ask members to bear with us whilst we are moving posts & threads around. Please do not send any reports on images being in the wrong section for the time being.

Once I have finished cleaning Modern Celebs as per the current dates we will start with Classic Celebs in the next month or so and move any celebs born before 1945 to the Vintage section.

It will be a very long job so we know some posts may be missed and members making new posts just add them to the regular threads for now, please be patient and do not send reports on posts/threads in the wrong section as it will only slow the work down.

The first step has been completed, I have moved all the main celeb threads for those born between 1936 and 1944 into the Vintage area.

As noted above the Classic Celeb forum is purely for those stars born between 1945 and 1984 .

The various lesser known threads will be cleaned of any existing posts that need moving at a later date. As it states in the all site message above please do not start reporting posts now so we can concentrate on moving the main threads.

We are now moving onto the Modern celebs forum and moving stars born between 1976 and 1984 to the Classic section.

Step 3 has now been done moving posts from Classic generic threads into the most appropriate Vintage threads

Some threads like Sport stars and Women of Star Trek the Original series have not been split.

Now moving onto moving posts for stars born 1976 to 1984 from the Modern generic threads through to Classic

This is, I think, a great idea. I have resisted any comment on the
old age group set up, because I did not want to rock the boat. However,
I could not help noting that some actresses in the classic section were
actually young enough to be the granddaughters of the oldest actresses
in that same group. The new arrangement will make a lot more sense,
and I really appreciate both the idea and the big effort in reworking
the many, many postings. My thanks to all who are making this
reorganization happen.
