The Auteurs

Criterion launches a social network for film geeks.  One of the best implementations I’ve seen.  Forums, reviews, friends, pay per view.

I like niche communities — a lot — and I like them seperate and not under a big tent like Facebook. Reel-Time for saltwater fly fishing. The Auteurs for art films. Chowhound for food. I know there have been an attempt or two at a rowing network — but it fell flat for me.

Anyway, I’m dying to figure out the engine under Auteurs. It’s a nice piece of code.

    Nice clean site. Initially I thought it might be a WordPress BBPress integration, but the code is way too clean for that. I’m betting a custom built solution.

    Yes, it’s custom built. Backend is Ruby on Rails. Front end is pure XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript. So, come on in and make yourself at home. Mingle. The bar is at the back.
