So how do you guys feel about IMDB shutting down the message boards


I was quite shocked and this was sudden and I know I haven't post much or anything on the haves and the have nots board but I do come on here every day to see people opinions on this show that made me go back and watch it again and my other question is do any one plan on posting somewhere else?

I had no idea they were closing the message boards.

I read the boards a few times a week for others opinions on different shows and conspiracy theories and twist I don't see coming.

Too bad, such varied reactions & opinions on the shows.

Hopefully we're just reading it wrong and they're only planning to disable the message boards and not the discussion boards, like this one. That would be the dumbest thing that they could do. Why else do they think so many people visit this site if not for the discussion boards? If they disable the discussion boards then they might as well shut down the entire site because everything else can be found on Wikipedia or any other online sources.

I woke up this way...

Agreed agreed and agreed. This site is boring as a mother outside of the discussion (or message boards). As you said, there is already a Wikipedia and no one is going to use this website for that purpose so they might as well retire the whole website if they shut down this portion of it. Google gave IMDB a great place in the search engines and what does IMDB do to return the favor to the fans that brought it up that high, take it upon themselves to remove the only feature of the website that fans like. Bunch of morons! It will come back to bite them when they don't get any traffic.

whats the difference between dicussion and message boards?? thought they were the same thing???

reply

To sum it up, the message boards are for concerns dealing with the site as a whole and the discussion boards, are like this board, where you can have a more detailed discussion about specific shows or movies.

That's really too bad; I just got on here b/c I couldn't find any other site that discusses HAHN! TP took his board off, which was good b/c all it was, was a bunch of Illuminati and voodoo doctor b.s. that took up all the space; folks were getting tired of trying to wade through that mess just to post on the show(s)! TP did a poor job of monitoring that site and I guess it's too much trouble to put up another one. I guess I'll post as much as possible on herebefore the 20th...if anyone knows of a site that discusses HAHN, I'd like to know, thanks!

If you have Facebook....join one of the HAHN groups like https://m.facebook.com/groups/167207066975236


There are a bunch of discussion groups for HAHN on Facebook

Indifferent. It's mostly full of racist trolls and honestly message boards are pretty much a thing of the past anyway.

reply

I think it is an awful idea. I thoroughly enjoyed discussing with others about this show, whether I agreed with them or not.

The discussion boards provided opportunities for literary criticism and growth as critics and analytical learners/evaluators.

I think it is a really stupid idea that is going to cost them greatly.

reply

I also think discussions gives writers of shows ideas on how to continue their series/episodes. Again, it was a very bad idea.

reply

Not sure if this board will be very popular or not. I've seen it around on a couple other boards. I haven't posted much lately myself, but I read them a lot. I will miss the boards for sure.
