Film General : I will miss these boards but do some of you agree with this?

I will miss these boards but do some of you agree with this?

OK if they must go ahead and shut down the Trivia! Trivia!, Awards Season, Film Talk, TV Talk, Shop Talk, Genre Zone, Around the World, Star Talk, Music, Technology, General Boards and the IMDb Boards. But why not let people discuss movies on the message boards.

Think about this. This is the Internet MOVIE Data Base site.

The key word is in bold print. Anyone agree?

I don't believe the number of boards is the problem. In terms of scalability, more boards means less crowding at a select few. They help to partition the bandwidth.

Re: I will miss these boards but do some of you agree with this?

I didn't always know anything about current films or actors, but it was nice to be able to offer a reference or a pun on the game/trivia boards, or to have a discussion on the Music boards, or the Food & Drink board, or any of three dozen boards that I regularly checked in on and contributed to, when I could.

Having all of those different boards together here in the same basic basket was the nice part. Now I'ma have to go all over the interwebs to find boards talking about all of the things that I used to be able to talk about, here.

- Oh, SOMEbody asides me is gonna RUE this here particular day...
