Nothing good comes from these forums anymore. It used to be awesome here back in the early 2000s, but now it is a festering sh*thole with zillions of trolls that makes it pretty hard to find any good discussion. Sadly, no one even visits pages for older movies. Post a comment on something old and wait 6 months to get a response. The first sentence said it all in their announcementnothing positive comes from the message forums anymore.
In the past, I would have been devastated. Now? I think its kind of funny. The trolls ruined it for everyone, including themselves.

That's how they word it for you and the masses. You think they're just going to say "we're doing this because the higher ups just made a very profitable deal with?"
The REAL answer is money, not what you are quoting from their announcement post.

It doesn't matter what their reason is, not to me. The place is still a festering sh*thole that deserves to be put out of its misery.

Nope, as I don't live here like some of you weirdos do. I'm glad this place is going away, while the rest of you cry over it. You'll have to find something else to do with your time rather than post 60 comments per day on IMDb.

You are a miserable human being. Only someone who is miserable would spend time in a place they say they don't like.
Just look at your signature. You're disdain for others and opinion of yourself is pathetic.

Exactly! The trolls may have factored into the decision, but this came down to money. (The aggressive trolling has been going on for years). Either:
A) It became no longer cost effective for them to administrate and operate the message boards
B) They're trying to force the message board members into other website forums that they're investing in
C) They felt that the message boards commentary was having to much influence and power as a source for reviewing movies; and it could potentially sway interest in a way that they don't have enough control over. And this could potentially take money out of studios pockets.
It's as plain and simple (or as sophisticated) as that!

Yeah, Ruby. Someone who has opinions about fictional female characters that differ from your own is NOT HATE or trolling.
Re: The reason for IMDb's decision

Ruby tries to make an impact, but just makes a fool of herself. She lacks innate intelligence, self-awareness and is one the biggest superficial phonies around and can't see how transparent she is. Did anyone even side with her? Imagine having to deal with this feminazi in person.

They should have hired or asked people to volunteer as moderators at least 5 years ago when all the *beep* heads arrived, but they didn't. They can still hire moderators and clean up the crap. Just block the bastards and carry on.

Exactly. They could've have users here volunteer as trusted moderators to help take care and report those problems too. Volunteer users would earn their own status or badge that way, and face penalties if they break their own rules. I wouldn't mind volunteering for that kind of job had they asked me.

SolarSailor, you have to hunt for the good discussion, so why do you feel so self-entitled and self-absorbed to think that everyone is going to kowtow to you and be on the same wavelength? There are 250million users on this database. Most peopleincluding yourself by the sound of itdon't even know the proper definition of a troll and misuse and misappropriate other terms as well, because they are misguided and like to play redundant blame games, that aren't founded on absolute truth or honesty. Most people are phonies, dense and simpleminded, and the past several years I have been posting on here, really shows how idiotic and in a state of inertia most of the human race is.

Stop projecting. I stated my opinion and couldn't care less whether you or anyone else "kowtows". This was just an opportunity for you to politely try to insult me, which is representative of the butthurt attitude that prevails around here at every turn and why this place deserves to die. You got a problem with that? Well don't worry, you only have two more weeks and you'll never have to worry about it again.

You are the one sounding butthurt, because others don't kowtow to your own whims. Typical! Now stop projecting your own fake and phony agenda, you are transparent and I can see through your game. That is why I called you out. Poor little butthurt projecting your blame game and being misguided where you lens it!

I have posted occasionally with SolarSailor before, but he sounds like he is getting worse and doesn't know how to deal with things that aren't going his way, so will project that onto others as though they are too blame. He likes to feel entitled as well. He is being his own worst enemy.

The thing is IY, the phony is claiming it is a s<>thole and posters have nothing better to do than post comment after comment; but of course this butthurt is really crying deep down inside, because he will have nothing to feel devastated about in having to wait 6 months for someone to respond to his self-absorbed narcissism.

You are not OWED a response in 6 months or 6 years. You use the imdb board of free will, with no expectations like a spoiled child who was pampered through life.
The level of nitpicky lunacy in your post is hilarious! Nowhere did I say I was owed a response, you silly boob. Again, this mentality is why people can't have a normal discussion about anything.
Your pseudo-psychology is embarrassing to look at. And please, stop responding to yourself with your alternate account, LOL! Whatever shall you do after fourteen days have passed?

Depends on what you mean by old? I find that a lot of kiddies (those I diddle and those that are too old for me; i.e. 12 and over) think a movie from the '90s as archaic.
But if you mean "old", in the actual sense, say, for example Sh! The Octopus, getting a response out of anybody there in a timely fashion has always been rare. even back in the early 2000's.

I sadly agree with the decision.
Toxicity is at an all time high on the internet.
What I do disagree with is losing the benefits of open communication with other people. Especially in this Trump era, it's important to see like minded people connect, even about movies.
But again, too many trolls. It had to be done.

right, because toxic users means the best decision on the interest is to potentially silence everyone and remove comments and discussion. How ridiculous
This will end up hurting the site in visits dramatically, I guarantee you. and its a slap in the face to the posters who have added Trivia and tons of content for IMDB over the years
also: the upkeep of the forums money wise is like nothing, the format of the boards is simple and takes up like no server space and most of the moderating is done by bots.
This is simply a decision to control their pages and content and stop users from having any influence on whether people go to movies or like the content that IMDB posts
she fell through a hole, and was never seen again
