Here is a link to a petition to keep the IMDB message boards open. It might not work, but it can't hurt to try:

https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/petition-to-keep-the-imdb-messageboards-going#

Unfortunately, you have to pay to sign the petition - they expect a paypal donation which sucks. I signed but since I did not pay, I doubt my signature will count. I will stop using IMDb when they shut down thto boards. What will be th point when you can get info in so many other places?

Damn the snowflakes and the PC's who are shutting down all venues of free speech!

You have to pay?  Nothing came up about paypal of paying when I signed it. And, when I pressed "sign petition," (after entering my info, and typing my comment) I got a message that my signature was counted. Since reading your message, I went back to the petition. I did not sign it again or anything. I just looked at it, I saw nothing on it indicating that you had to pay to sign.

Hi camimac

This is what I get when I try to sign the petition:

When I press next, it goes here:

https://www.paypal.com/webapps/hermes?token=0YR44122XH142234A&useraction=commit&rm=2&mfid=1486206788544_e434f02170d48#/checkout/login

Am I doing something wrong? . Because I'm not paying $25 to sign a petition.

This is such a bummer. I will certainly my never come back to IMDB and will stop using it. One of the best things about these boards was being able to find new TV shows or movies to watch. All of that will now disappear. I blame the PC snowflakes mob, like those people at Berkeley Uni who want to shut down opinions which they don 't agree with. They are the real trolls!

Thanks but the ipetitions is the one which keeps asking for money. I've found it impossible to sign without it directing me to a PayPal site to "donate". No thank you!

All I can say is I don't know how or why that happened. Not only was I not told I had to pay, but after signing and seeing a message that said my signature was counted, I also received an email that said the following:
