Doctor Who : OT: IMDB message boards ending

OT: IMDB message boards ending

Personally, I blame Burun.

http://www.imdb.com/board/announcement

Remember all those times folks tried to start their own Doctor Who message boards? Well, time to do that again if you want to maintain this fine community. Only 3 Mondays left.

For those newbies, you can take a look into http://gallifreybase.com/forum/

I find it to be a bit TOO large a community, but YMMV.

What a pile of carp.

Which was the last message board we tried to set up I can't remember my password for it!

Gallifreybase was full of cancer last time I went there!

Re: OT: IMDB message boards ending

There were a few. I think the most recent was a Facebook one run by DarkimusPrime, IIRC, but he as not been seen round these parts for over a year.

Unless he just changed his moniker?

Can't say I hate GB, myself, but one needs to practically live there to follow a conversation meaningfully.

Anyway, I do mourn the loss of this DW community in a couple weeks, and hope all the friends here manage to keep in touch with one-another.

Think it's a bad idea? There's a thread here, you aren't alone.

Re: OT: IMDB message boards ending

Oh man, imagine the meeting that led to this decision.

Re: OT: IMDB message boards ending

Maybe if you hadn't been such an agitator, spam-posting across all boards with those long, rambling threats against the UN, the EU, the World Bank, and Judi Dench those meetings wouldn't have had to happen.

And remember your famous 'Rant of 100,000 Profanities'?



And I still haven't figured out what your deal w/ the League of Women Voters was. Whatever happened, you really should have just let it go rather than inflicting it upon the rest of us. Doubly-so for all the Judi Dench stuff. Really, honestly.

Shame on you, Volunteer. SHAME!



In fairness, I will say I share ~82% of your sentiments regarding the Merchant Marines and ~95% when it comes to the French Foreign Legion. I wouldn't go so far as what you've suggested, but I do understand where you were coming from.

We're gonna need a replacement asap!

Re: OT: IMDB message boards ending

Oh my god where will the people who hate doctor who go to say they hate it

Re: OT: IMDB message boards ending

Does STFU Moffat still exist?

Re: OT: IMDB message boards ending

There's always the show's official Facebook page.

And the comments section of any and all news stories relating to the show.

Re: OT: IMDB message boards ending

Probably the same place you're going to do your Sherlock hate rants.

Re: OT: IMDB message boards ending

No I've had discussions I've said the good and the bad now go away

Re: OT: IMDB message boards ending

Rather redundant, like most of your posts, since we're all going away.

Re: OT: IMDB message boards ending

Bit of a stalker aren't you since you seem to enjoy replying to every single thing I say well I won't miss seeing your annoying comments

Re: OT: IMDB message boards ending

To be fair these boards are a bit toxic at times. I mean I enjoy posting on here because I enjoy Doctor Who but imagine being some executive trying to argue to keep them and seeing all the rants about "Feminazi", "SJW", etc.
I mean a lot of places are like that now days but from a business perspective you can understand why it wouldn't be the sort of image you want associated with your brand.

Re: OT: IMDB message boards ending

No offence but I doubt that would work. Petitions usually work when it's a surprise that so many people care about one thing like "Oh wow a million people want us to fix those pot holes, if we want to be voted in next term we better do it."
Where as with this they know the amount of people that actively use them and unless you use some bot to fill it out the number on your petition will always be smaller than their number of active users.

I think the thing to really focus on is:

IMDb's message boards are no longer providing a positive, useful experience


Our best bet is to create a new message board but if you're going to create on for all movies and TV shows in a bid to replace the IMDB one.

Re: OT: IMDB message boards ending

I would think reddit is one of your places to go.. https://www.reddit.com/r/doctorwho/

Re: OT: IMDB message boards ending

Looks like a good place for discussion. Behold, a thread about a potential female doctor that is civil and doesn't devolve into insults

Let's roll some tits up the flagpole and see if anyone gets wood.

Re: OT: IMDB message boards ending

BUT IT WON'T BE THE SAAAAME

Re: OT: IMDB message boards ending

I'm thinking of starting a Who fan board called The Powell Estate.

It will be full of name calling and slanging matches aplenty.

ALLONZEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: OT: IMDB message boards ending


Personally, I blame Burun.


You could have simply placed him on ignore of course but instead you decided to report him, subsequently bragged about doing so and thus ironically contributed to this forum's/these message board's demise, albeit in minuscule fashion.

I think Asda said it best: "every little helps"


Re: OT: IMDB message boards ending

Reported

Re: OT: IMDB message boards ending

Just came on to post after months (or a year) of not posting as I frequent Reddit nowadays.

Can't believe I still see the same names on this message board, heck a couple of people still posting are on my ignore list lul.

RIP IMDb message boards
