Buffy the Vampire Slayer : Boycott Amazon, IMDB's Parent Company

Boycott Amazon, IMDB's Parent Company

The best way to show our anger at the message board shut down is to hit them where it hurts, by boycotting Amazon, IMDB's parent company. I'm going to cancel my prime membership and go out of my way to NOT buy from Amazon.

Re: Boycott Amazon, IMDB's Parent Company

It's to late for that. The reason this place is closing down is because it wasn't making money and trolls using socks to report to much.

If anything those are the reasons

Re: Boycott Amazon, IMDB's Parent Company


The reason this place is closing down is ... trolls using socks to report to much.

And you were the biggest offender.

Re: Boycott Amazon, IMDB's Parent Company

Please your the biggest one. You can't handle different opinions and used alert with socks faker.

At least you won't have anyone to spew off to anymore clown

This is my one and only account, special needs boy. Nobody is going to miss you.

Re: Boycott Amazon, IMDB's Parent Company

Good. Mental cases like you can go to a permante safe space where you can rot.

Re: Boycott Amazon, IMDB's Parent Company

Yeah, I had thought about that, but realistically for me, that's not going to happen. I'll stop using IMDb for anything else though. With a little luck there'll be a steeper decline in traffic than they're expecting.

Same. I don't use Amazon often but I'm not going to stop for a protest that may not happen or even cause any major effect.

I WILL stop using IMDB. Not so much in protest but because the only reason I come here is to a.) Interact on the Message Boards, b.) Check actor info, and c.) Occasionally vote on movies/t.v. shows I like. But, without the message boards, I highly doubt I'll do b and c. Wikipedia is a thing and I only vote on a movie/t.v. show that I was coming to discuss anyway.

I am curious to see how steep the decline is, though. We live in these bubble of the message boards WE like but how significant is the traffic for other boards. How many user come here for the discussion but stay for the movie trivia?

Re: Boycott Amazon, IMDB's Parent Company

already cancelled my prime account as soon as I saw the announcement. also will not be buying anything through amazon ever again. it's peanuts and usually something i mock others for doing (boycotting a store out of personal grievances) but whatever. SO BE IT. i feel strongly about this.

Re: Boycott Amazon, IMDB's Parent Company

I am gonna say no on that since I work for them but like its pretty *beep* lame. I hope there traffic comes to a halt though the message boards were the only reason for me to visit the site so I won't have any reason to check the site anymore. Wikipedia was really preference for getting information about movies so I am not trying to be petty or anything I just think they are generally pretty irrelevant is all.

Re: Boycott Amazon, IMDB's Parent Company

I would but, uh... I joined Amazon Prime over Christmas and their next day delivery is like getting gifts dropped from heaven.

Re: Boycott Amazon, IMDB's Parent Company

Yeah. Amazon's just too awesome.

I'm not going to give up something I use regularly just because I lost something else.

Seize the moment, 'cause tomorrow you might be dead.

Re: Boycott Amazon, IMDB's Parent Company

I started buying in local book stores a while ago, they need the support. If you don't find what you're looking for they can order it, and it usually only takes a day. I also love to just look around the store, especially those where you can sit down and read a while before deciding to buy. I've also gotten some great recommendations from the people there. They also organize readings and stuff which is important for writers.

Amazon makes life really hard for these small businesses. They try to push into every market and of course they can offer the lowest price because with the huge amounts they buy they get the best terms. Not to mention the way they treat their workers. Sometimes it's really hard to get a certain item somewhere else, then I make an exeption, but I try to order very little from Amazon, no matter how comfortable it is.

Re: Boycott Amazon, IMDB's Parent Company

Well this really sucks I love coming here seeing the discussions about this show and other shows as well. I will miss it

Re: Boycott Amazon, IMDB's Parent Company

No way!! While I am disappointed with the owners of IMDB.com for choosing to close down the forum instead of hiring a full time Admin and moderators to deal with all the problems on the boards I get a lot of things for a much cheaper price on Amazon than I do from buying them from shops here in Australia and the Amazon staff have always been friendly and helpful to me.
