I just posted on that board in case anyone would like to contribute their perspective.
shareI never saw it but I like the concept. Seems like a fun movie.

It is. Actually all three of them are fun.

This is why I barely post on MovieChat anymore. The only way you can have a conversation with someone is to post in General Discussion, and most of those discussions have nothing to do with film or TV. It's just bored people looking for someone to interact with them. If you post on the board of an actual movie or film you'll get one comment (maybe two if you're lucky), and then it all goes dead again.
It seems like the majority of their users are trolls anyway.

Sadly this is true, but maybe it will get better. The glass is half full.
😎
Be not sad. It will definitely get better. Froggy and I worked this out the other day: the glass is always full, either with liquid, air or a combination.
shareI came on here to talk about "You Again," and you all decided to talk about "Back to the Future" instead. There are message boards "Back to the Future 1, 2 and 3; however you all chose to discuss this on the General Discussion board under a topic that has nothing to do with those three films.

And your point would be......?
😎
Are you not bright enough to pick up on that? No? Comment on the message board pertaining to the movie rather than one which has nothing to do with it in General Discussion. Last time I checked all three movies had their own discussion boards.
sharePerhaps you should look at what is trending. There are conversations going on in the individual boards. At the moment there obviously isn't anyone interested in discussing You Again. Sorry, but I haven't seen it.
Many of us do discuss on the individual boards!
There. My lecture is over. How about you?
That was a lecture? Cute.
shareMine wasn't. I just felt that yours was.
shareLook at what you wrote in your comment. “There. MY lecture is over. How about you?” Don’t call it a lecture if it’s not one Margo. Sounds like you can’t decide if you’re lecturing or not.
shareI guess you were taking me much too literally. You couldn't know that though. I was trying to keep things light because you seemed so serious. I'm not here to fight with you and I'm not about to tell you how and where to post. You seem to have that part under control.
shareI'm not here to fight with you either. I don't even know you, but I didn't see this as light. I figured you were not happy with what I wrote and felt the need for rebuttal. If I did know you and your personality however then I would have responded differently. The part which red flagged me was the part about the lecture. I took that as sarcasm. That's a problem with communication mediums such as these which is no one's fault--it's just the way it is.
To be honest I agreed with what you wrote. Yes, the message boards do appear to have frequent activity. However, what frustrates me is the things I post on get either very little response or no activity at all. On the contrary, when IMDB's message boards were around, they would have been regularly active despite the popularity (or lack of) what ever the movie and/or film was.
I've been trying to be patient and let this website pick up. Somebody once suggested commenting in the General Discussion section whenever you post on a movie's page. That way others will be aware in case it gets knocked out of "trending." I therefore tried that here and instead received a lot of comments about "Back to the Future." That did annoy me, because there really was no point to place that HERE. If no one wants to talk about "You Again," fine. If you want to talk about "Back to the Future" however go post on their page.
I just feel like General Discussion is the only place you can get others to regularly interact with you as opposed to one of the film or TV pages. I've seen others post the same concern, so I know I'm not alone. I am aware though that there are users such as yourself who do make an effort to keep the individual message boards active, and for that I'm appreciative.
Sorry you don't remember me. We have talked before, although not recently. I remember your name. We both like Breakfast at Tiffanys.
Look. I realize that this site isn't anywhere near as active on it's individual boards as IMDb was. Many people went on to other sites that they obviously like. It may seem slow to you and others. I can understand your frustration.
Me? I like it. Not so many snarky people here. Oh, there are trolls, but they aren't so bad as some of the ones on IMDb.
I also like the fact that there are actual living breathing moderators here. They do a great job too!
i guess it's just a matter of finding a site you like. I no longer yearn for IMDb. i do miss a few of the people though. Who knows? Someday they may just find their way here.
You know, I do remember you now. I remembered talking to someone about "Breakfast At Tiffany's" in the past, but I had no recollection of the user name. Additionally I thought your user name looked familiar, but I figured that was because I've seen other posts from you before. Now the mystery is solved!
I totally agree about the lack of snarky people. I don't notice that so much either. I do however notice trolls on the General Discussion board a lot. Now in all fairness, I never posted on the General Discussion board on IMDB, so there very well may have been more there. When I lurk on here though I see topics such as "I hate Trump" or "What I ate for breakfast" and stuff like that. I mean seriously: they can go have those conversations on Facebook.
These are just my opinions though, and I know those types of topics and people will never go away. I just can't choose to focus on them rather than the people who do want to effectively contribute to this site, such as yourself.
RomComs are not my thing otherwise I would have commented.
