Farewell guys :'(

I have literally no reason to use this site anymore without the message boards. Every single bit of trivia I have ever read has been lifted from Wikipedia or other Wiki sites, and...yeah that's about it. Aside from the trivia and message boards, there's no real reason to use this website. Like, at all. None. Well...GG IMDB. Good job driving away such a big chunk of your user base.

I thought I could paint it red, but I couldn't find enough goats.

Does this atrocious decision have anything to do with political correctness?

Anyway, they're going to ruin this website. Fewer people would sign up here. 90% of us come here for the message boards.

Good luck IMDb. Enjoy the demise of your website.

P.S. I have a hunch that they'll return these boards in less than a year due to regretting.

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.

I originally liked the IMDB boards when i first came on here, but in the end it devolved in to nothing but people discussing politics and repeating the same jokes and insults again and again. I'm overall glad that this happened because it's gotten really out of hand and isn't really a place to discuss films, which is what it was originally designed for. But I do share some of your feelings, I have some fond memories on here, but it's become awful. I've got a great idea, all the people who actually discussed movies should rather together and make a little group or something, and create are own thing, that would be cool.

Lets have some real talk here . You are shutting these boards down because they are viewed as a negative to the average person and more importantly to Hollywood. You don't want that type of negative press which is understandable. Nobody likes bad press. But just know that you are a coward for doing this. You are caving to the pressures of others. You are taking away our voice and our freedom to express ourselves and that is a cowardly act. But worst of all you are straight up lying to us.

Everyone here knows you aren't closing the boards due to some bogus technology or "troll" issue. You're a monster company who makes billions of dollars. You're telling me you can't run simple message boards that have very little additional features? Yeah right. You are 100% caving to the PC world where you aren't allowed to have a voice and everything must be positive. No criticism is allowed. Only sunshine and rainbows. So go ahead shut down the boards. We will find someplace else. But know that by doing this you and everyone at IMDB are cowards.

I started a subreddit a lil while ago for talking about movies. Hasn't gotten jack as far as discussions as of yet (I have no idea how to run a subreddit, but I'll learn), but it's there if anyone wants to use it.

I'll keep deletions and bans to an absolute minimum. The only thing I intend on shooting down is spam. Come join if you want. At least you'll know it's being ran by a fellow IMDB user. If it starts to get somewhat bigger, I'll work on making it prettier than it is now.
