I was talking to @Ballz the other day about what my original intentions were for the media section of the site. It wasn't to rip-off the IMDB forum system with a board for each movie... it was so I could it randomly select a movie for me, so I don't have to sit in front of my dvd shelves and waste 90 minutes trying to figure out which movie to watch. Yes, that shit happens!
Writing a program to do that is so easy, I just decided to build upon it more and more, as everything on this site is just one little experiment after another. If you're reading this, you ought to know by now that you can influence this site and help build the garbage dump that is Trash Epics.
Somehow or another, me and @Ballz got on the subject of lists. I forgot about lists, but apparently, everybody loves lists, so I added lists.
A list is just a post, categorized as a "list". You can then access your list through a link provided within your post. Your list will be blank until you go into editing mode with it, where you can add a text title to your list item, and/or link a media title to it. Furthermore, you can set the order/rank of your list items, if you were to do a top-10 list and whatnot. Don't worry, it ain't hard to figure out.
And with linking media titles to your list, I began thinking about how to tie that in with our trash zones, and I got some interesting ideas if anyone ever decides on a making a zone on this site. Of course, without a zone to showcase, nobody will ever get inspired, so I built a demo zone for you, based on the horror franchise that got me into horror movies AND the internet AND all this web design jargon, so many years ago...

Each title in the zone is linked to a list, which can double as a control panel, then it's fun for the whole family.
