WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

Seriously...





Do you mind if I have a piece of your thigh? It would complement this fine '76 Shiraz

Re: WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

Wow you're right. Feb 20th it will end.

Re: WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

I don't get it. This board allows you to discuss any movie, actor, or film maker. There is no equivalent that I know of. I think IMDB is getting this one way wrong.

Re: WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

I don't buy the "too negative" excuse. Sounds like they want to boost their social media numbers by moving their message boards users to IMDB's facebook and twitter.

Re: WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

yeah, less staff so cutting costs?

Re: WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

Possible as well. Although I doubt they paid any significant amount for moderators, lol.

Re: WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

The trolls won.

Re: WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

I don't buy that this is about rampant uptick negative or hostile posts. This is something else. Cost savings and marketing. Other social media sites allow companies to track user trends, and overall comment disposition (favorable, unfavorable, neutral)...

Re: WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

Given the rampant bullying on many of the boards and the numerous reports they get sent every single day, it's actually pretty plausible and not at all surprising to most of us.

Re: WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

Sure as *beep* isn't surprising to me. I still have saved PM's on my PC of a guy threatening to molest my three year old daughter just cause I told him to lay off cussing out another poster for having a different opinion on a movie than him. And that's just one incident, and that guy is STILL posting to this day. It's *beep* sick, and IMDB *beep* sucks for doing literally jack *beep* about it. This place SHOULD go down. It's about goddamn time, really.

Wow. Yeah, based on that information, I'm with you, 100%.

[edited to exclude personal info]

I am saddened, shocked and disheartened that this has been your experience. I honestly think a visit by the police to this guys home would have been appropriate. Please accept my sympathies regarding this.

Re: WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

Yeah...sympathies accepted. And that's just one reason why I'm not surprised or upset that this place is being shut down.

Re: WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

I doubt I can go to Facebook or Twitter and start a thread on some obscure movie or show, and have anyone see or reply to it. They are basically taking something away from people.

Re: WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

Yes, and you can thank the trolls.

It only takes a few to ruin things for the many.

After Feb. 2oth nobody gets to post.

Re: WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

the usual and actual reason is cutting costs. IMDb is a business right?

Re: WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

Boards like this one are why.

Re: WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

Hah! If you only knew how much worse it gets.

The things I've seen...

Re: WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

Do you have anything to show that will convince me that this is correct? Yes, I know IMDb is a business and I do not mind when a business makes money. I'm just wondering if you have any factual basis for this statement, beyond reasoning.

Because supporting your thesis is tough, but throwing adjectives is easy.

Re: WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

Ninth! *hugs* Long time no see! The *beep* of abuse and trolling that is IMDB is gonna be shut down finally, and I already moved over to a new forum, so did a few other users like Jay and all, sooo...I mean if you wanted to, you could come over too. Otherwise, I mean...this'll be a pretty permament goodbye.

No, none. But it's not exactly a wild stab in the dark. plus what lith said

Re: WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

Ah, the denial of one of the reasons why the board is being shut down.

So it begins...

Seems like it. Hop on everyone, all are welcome. No exceptions (except for spambots).

I also created a new topic. it's in the heading, Random stuff. called IMDb 2.0 beta

Re: WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

I know you said "all are welcome" but I felt the need to ask anyway. What can I say, I'm "old school". Or is that just "old". 😀

Anyway, I know I can be a bit abrasive on occasion, and I certainly wouldn't want to go anywhere I was unwelcome, so......are you sure "all" are welcome? 😀

Donnie (on speaker phone): Alison thinks we’ve been hiding out long enough. I don’t think the frontier life agrees with her.

Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don't.

Re: WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

ALL are welcome, especially people I disagree with.

If and when someone tries to disrupt the board (for example spambots), moderation will happen. Otherwise, no censorship whatsoever.

You're going to be a damned fine admin.

I might just have to join my second forum ever. And it's a split-off from a larger more successful forum! That's two things I never thought I'd find myself doing, but IMDb has forced my hand.

Be warned, lovers of bad Arrow writing, I will continue to strike terror into your hearts.

Re: WTF IMDB message boards closing down…Lith time to use yours

All right, I'm officially on there, haha. I registered and all, put up a profile pic, did my interests, etc, and I made my first post. *grins* Now I can sleep easy at night knowing my brain has a nice place to go to talk about my favorite shows once the IMDB purge happens.

I don't care about a troll who doesn't pay for his opinion telling me how to review movies.
