A LITTLE CONTEXT
For the love of a good watch.
BingePool helps you decide what to watch tonight: a movie for the evening or a series to start. It is a community recommendation site, not a streaming service. Members nominate and boost titles in one shared pool. Six are chosen ahead of voting, and each region picks its own winner.
How the six are chosen
Members can label their nominations as hidden gem suggestions: overlooked films, older favourites or series they think deserve discovery. The two most-boosted eligible suggestions take the discovery places, then four of the most-boosted remaining nominations complete the six. If there are fewer than two suggestions, the most-boosted other eligible picks fill the spaces. Ties use nomination age, then ID. TMDB popularity and ratings do not determine these places. Founder picks are labelled. During this early trial, sample accounts, discussions, boosts and results demonstrate how the site works.
Regions and results
Europe uses London time, North America East uses New York, North America West uses Los Angeles, and Asia-Pacific uses Sydney. Ballots close at 8 PM in their reference city. Your own local clock may differ. A vote locks your choice and region for that edition. Ties use shortlist order; a ballot with no votes has no winner.
Essential cookies & your data
We use a signed browser identity cookie to remember daily votes, a session cookie for sign-in and regional preference, and a CSRF cookie to protect forms. The voting identity lasts up to a year; only a keyed hash of its random identifier is stored. Signing in can associate this identity with your account to prevent another vote. Clearing cookies or changing devices can bypass anonymous voting limits.
Your nickname, nominations and comments are public. Votes and browser identities are private to site administrators. There are no advertising trackers. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics for aggregate traffic and page-performance statistics without analytics cookies. Do not include sensitive personal information in public posts.
Community
Keep pitches spoiler-free. Mark spoilers in discussions, be kind, and report spam or abusive comments for moderator review. You can permanently delete your account from your profile. Account details and boosts are removed, and comment text is deleted while replies remain. Nominations and their pitches remain without your username; existing votes and results remain without an account link. This is an early community trial. Keep your own copy of any pitch or comment you want to retain. For account or moderation help, contact william@wdrowan.com.
