it was never the case.
I had always stated storyline/plot as the same.

Oh t'was, t'was! ;)
-Storyline==plot / storyline==story.
Naughty, naughty!
Besides, the use of the word is part of a description, not really a definition, and not a very good one. And yes, definition and description could be regarded as synonyms too, but they're not the same thing either lol!

well... I dunno about you, but personally, I think I won. I know I won.

paint it any way ya want, but I am sticking with storyline and plot being the same.
but enough of the semantic debate and back to the point of the thread!

my question concerning the point of the thread, why do it at all, I mean try to make something with out plot/storyline such as a comic, movie or book?

I dunno, maybe for a difference, to be freed from bounds. But when I first wrote the thread I had in mind plot=conflict-resolution but I know now that's not necessarily true.
