Surprised nobody's commented yet about the message boards going away
I was shocked to see the announcement at the top of the board pages. While I also use IMDB to find out general TV/movie information, I've enjoyed posting on these boards for years and will miss doing that. I don't know whether the reason for IMDB doing this is strictly financial (probably) or if it's because some posters have abused (to say the least) the privilege of having this type of forum by posting vulgar things and getting into childish fights with others about simple opinions but whatever the reason, we've only got a couple more weeks to enjoy these boards. Hopefully there will be other places for people like me who aren't on Facebook or some other social media site (and have no desire to be) to talk about TV shows and movies. If not, it's been a lot of fun here on IMDB and I wish everyone the best.
