American Horror Story : IMDb boards are shutting down

IMDb boards are shutting down

"IMPORTANT: IMDb is the world?s most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content. As part of our ongoing effort to continually evaluate and enhance the customer experience on IMDb, we have decided to disable IMDb?s message boards on February 20, 2017. This includes the Private Message system. After in-depth discussion and examination, we have concluded that IMDb?s message boards are no longer providing a positive, useful experience for the vast majority of our more than 250 million monthly users worldwide. The decision to retire a long-standing feature was made only after careful consideration and was based on data and traffic. See more"

What are yall gonna do?

Re: IMDb boards are shutting down

This is so stupid. People r P^ssies

Re: IMDb boards are shutting down

Well, it has been fun, but without the message boards I'll probably never come to imdb again. I fail to understand why those who do not like the boards can't just not click on them.

What I really want to know is how they concluded that the boards are "no longer providing a positive useful experience"? Were any of you polled? I wasn't.

Re: IMDb boards are shutting down

It's about Trump. I've been using the message boards for a long time, and there have always been trolls and they have never cared before. But since Hollywood is anti-any-Trump-conversation, they are doing away with the boards now. Lame, IMDB. I won't be coming here to get my entertainment news anymore. They will quickly find how much of their traffic are board users. Non board users may come here occasionally to watch trailers and whatnot, but they won't come here everyday like board users do.

Re: IMDb boards are shutting down

It's more likely Trump shut them down by executive order to censor criticism than whatever you just said.

Re: IMDb boards are shutting down

haha, that's just as likely.

Re: IMDb boards are shutting down

Even though he's become everyone's favorite whipping boy, this had nothing to do with Trump and EVERYTHING to do with the little babies who had to hit the report button every time their little feelings got hurt.

Re: IMDb boards are shutting down

Agreed. There are a lot of sensitive little tattletales on these boards.




I tried to join the CIA once, but they found out my parents were married.

Re: IMDb boards are shutting down

no, they are shutting down because not enough people hit report evidently, the reason cited by every outlet is lack of moderation and overcrowd of trolls who weren't dealt with

Re: IMDb boards are shutting down

Whipping boy? Aww poor wittle pamela needs to defend the helpless most powerful baby the world has ever seen. But yeah it says it's shutting down due to inability to moderate and nothing to do with people overreporting, but you wouldn't be you if you didn't make up facts and present them as truth. All I said is it's more likely Trump would tweet to shut down any criticism (based in fact) over the illogical "Hollywood is liberal so the site would rather not have message boards something something what"

Re: IMDb boards are shutting down

I'll definitely use IMDb far less.

I shall miss your insight and wit, Pam!

Re: IMDb boards are shutting down

Thank you, sweetie :). I'll miss you too. I've always been impressed with the way you are wise beyond your years.

Rob Zombie is one of the greatest directors today

Re: IMDb boards are shutting down

I can't believe it..... IMDb has been my favorite and only place to discuss my favorite movies and TV shows with other people for the last 9 years. I've even made a few friends on the boards... This SUCKS!!!

Re: IMDb boards are shutting down

Yeah! I saw this message as soon as I logged in. It sucks, but IMBd do have a bunch of weidros running around here.

They could just hire moderators, but I know they won't

Re: IMDb boards are shutting down

Wade Vic, you will live on in my memory long after the boards are gone!

Awwww 😊 Dont get so sentimental

Re: IMDb boards are shutting down

Does anyone know where else to discuss movies and shows? Are there other sites? I'm at a loss! I've used this awesome site for years! I can't believe this! I seriously believe...and I KNOW that IMDB is making a huge mistake in doing this.

If there is a Muslim ban, they can pretend they're Christians. You know, like Republicans do.

Re: IMDb boards are shutting down

Reddit?

Re: IMDb boards are shutting down

"and I KNOW that IMDB is making a huge mistake in doing this."

I agree. I think we should write them and complain, only complaints are probably why they're doing it.

"and I KNOW that IMDB is making a huge mistake in doing this."


i agree 100% ,it is a *beep* decision ,they are making an awful mistake ,IMDB is mostly popular for its boards ,i think most of members come here because of boards and discussion parts ,i bet with shutting down boards they are going to lost so many members

Re: IMDb boards are shutting down

Yes, the traffic to this site will greatly decrease. Can you imagine coming here on a daily basis to see what's going on without the message boards? I thought more about it...I pretty much think this is going to kill IMDB as whole. Why bother coming here if the boards aren't here? To look up a credit...no...I don't think so.
