As no one has really made any new comments in the last day or 2 I guess it's safe to say everyone has moved on... Shame as I know a few threads of Harvey Dent was started but not much said because of this sinking ship... Such a shame
kris -- the boards are closing because they're not generating enough clicks/revenue.
And you'll notice that "yellow" didn't post his/her face as an avatar (probably knows that heaps of derision would follow). You can't take what knuckle-draggers like him/her say. They, like their opinions, are worthless.
What's more, low-level idiots who don't know the different between "your" and "you're" shouldn't be criticizing anyone/anything.

the boards are closing because they're not generating enough clicks/revenue.
...versus the manpower IMDb needs to moderate the forums and deal with all of the reported posts.
There would be virtually no cost at all to have the site and still include the message boards.... except they can't do that very well without also having some moderation of the boards (if only because of the links to illegal sites, they literally can not try to completely leave the boards un-moderated).
So yeah... nice try, but you're wrong and everyone knows you're wrong. If it wasn't for the trolls costing too much in the way of resources then the message boards would not be going away.
Meanwhile, you're linking to a silly petition to keep these message boards elsewhere... while there are also posts blaming you specifically (as well as "people like you") for these boards closing down. Well... they're not wrong about it being people like you.
Pretend all you like that you weren't part of the problem... but you were. You and your ilk are why we can't have nice things. Well done. You obviously care about these forums because of your petition and such... so, maybe it's true that we get what we deserve?
every -- It's curious that you would spew your hate upon someone who is being conciliatory and ignoring the obvious nasty troll -- this behavior defines who you are and thus I feel confident that whatever destruction I rained down upon you in the past was richly deserved.

Just making sure we all know that the boards are in fact closing because trolls made them not worth it. And the trolls shouldn't be trying to fool themselves or anyone else from that fact.
So, you've decided to appoint yourself the "Teller of the Truth" to educate all the ignorant people here? Arrogant much? Why do you think people would listen to someone who clearly has no idea of what's going on?
Statements like "... but you're wrong and everyone knows you're wrong." are worthy of someone in Kindergarten. And if that's the case, well I guess I'll have to excuse your little outburst.
"... while there are also posts blaming you specifically ..." Did you fail to recognize that those posts are all written by one psychotic little troll who has decided to spew obsessive hate-filled lies about a stranger on the Internet? So you'll take those words as factual? Gullible much?
But fine, believe what you will. Just know that when you broadcast those beliefs, you are making yourself look like a foolish little child.

Hilarious. Says it all. Silly, hate-filled psychopath (and an illiterate dummy).

There are many posters calling you out right now. Go to the Suits boards now. They are individuals, too. No sock accounts. You are a sociopath to think visitors of imdb will forget you and your unacceptable behavior. Life is a game to people like you. We are never going to see your position about evils that exists within a human no matter how hard we may try.
jgerd26 -- I sincerely hope that between now and Feb. 20, when I can happily say bye to you and a few disgusting trolls like you, you will explain to me and all the poor people here who were subjected to your insane and disturbing ramblings, exactly HOW did I so grievously injure you that you felt compelled to stalk me for years and write vile, hate-filled and disgusting lies about me.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU ... WILL ... ATONE!
You pretending to be so blindsided cracks me up. This you are presenting may work today but I guarantee you, in 2011 and before, many imdb posters will be backing and agreeing with me about you.
I knew you before you changed your name to "UncleRob" , at the beginning of your career of being an Imdb stalker to many . You can escape the truth easily here by changing to a new name, and since you do not have close family or friends in your life to answer to - you probably believe your own reality and lies about the emotional damage you've caused. Coming on here after harassing many because they aroused or sickened you ( by just being for a black imdb member, or stating that they go to a Middle School, for instance.)
And your insane delusions continue. I joined IMDB as UncleRob in 2007 and have never changed names. And thanks for confirming that you've been stalking me since before 2011.
How many usernames have you had? "jgerd26" is only a little older than two years. Who were you before then? Were the few detractors I've had through the years all been you?
Your story is falling apart, psycho.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU ... WILL ... ATONE!
I don't need to tell you that I have a couple of accounts on here and this one is solely used to post to you. You were known to be a stalker and gave death threats among many things.
I had to keep tabs on you and your activities, so I do know for a fact, you did changed your username due to some heat. A "few detractors" is just you flattering yourself. You have had legions of posters who were brazen to speak up but many were smart to plain ignore you.
"stalker"? "death threats"? It's becoming clear that you are so deeply disturbed that you actually believe your own lies. You probably can't even explain why you hate me so much -- that's how embedded you are in your own psychosis.
So, good luck to you in your future home in a padded cell. Keep posting and the admins will keep deleting them -- you're littering these boards with the aftermath of your filthy thoughts and lies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU ... WILL ... ATONE!
You've just stated on your own accord and unprovoked to another poster on this thread that you've "rained destruction on him/her at some point" So you not only expect visitors to overlook the truth about your history, but posts in a thread . You couldn't care less about those you've hurt to even remember their names? They are actually humans beings behind that screen, Rob. You are the delusional one. Live with it. Thankfully, you got convicted since you cannot keep any story straight.
Please visit the Suits board everybody in doubt about this troll.
You realize I was being gracious by not revealing your hateful and very lascivious past -- to many young boys and girls-- on the internet and only disclosing the last initial of your real name. You live in Orlando, but so do thousands...
Look, I intended to see if you showed any acknowledgement even remorse but you're denying and lashing out to me and others and acting like you've been victimized after victimizing so many. Who's the psycho here?
o The psycho is the one stalking strangers on the Internet, and not realizing that "cyberstalking" is against the law.
o The psycho is the one setting up accounts strictly to do the stalking, thinking that would safeguard her identity and protect her from being banned by the forum mods.
o The psycho is the one setting herself up as judge and jury of perceived Internet "evil-doers", and feeling justified in doling out punishment.
o The psycho is the one spewing disgusting lies and falsehoods about strangers on the Internet, not realizing that is libel and against the law.
o The psycho is the one who visited a few Internet search sites seeking the identities of people on the Internet, and thinking that makes her "a investigator", and not realizing that anyone can do the same.
Clear now, psycho?

Yes, the name UncleRob is so vague, it begs to be searched out. No, I know about you through Imdb. You are twisted and ok with spinning things to appear innocent. Let's not forget that this only started because you were complaining about the "bad seeds" on here and I simply remarked about your history. You already had the ball rolling with your indefensible actions on here but you act like the victim once again. Go ahead. I will be glad because Imdb is well-aware of me. How do you suppose I know so much about you? You've been stalking, harassing minors and minorities for years. You even denied you were from Florida, so why lie if you are so innocent? How is it that after these years you act so righteous after getting your actions revealed on a high-traffic board? You care about what strangers think because you are lonely and isolated (no job and family).
Things do not go away when you sweep them under rugs, especially pertaining to harassment and stalking of minors.
So, you went from getting defensive over the term "bad seed" to accusing me of being a "sex offender"? If that doesn't scream "mental illness", I don't know what will.
Imdb is well-aware of me
That's the first true thing you've said in a while. They've certainly been busy lately deleting all your disgusting posts about me.
... you act so righteous after getting your actions revealed on a high-traffic board
My "actions" have not been revealed, because you keep lying. How can a disinterested third-party decide which is the truth and which just another lie?
You have absolutely no credibility. You seem to have built up this fantasy psychotic world wherein I'm the devil incarnate, but it's not real. Maybe, after years of intense therapy, you'll realize that too.

The mistake is, you think I care about the third party, when this was all directed at you and your past behavior I need you to own up to. I am very surprised you are being so prickly, even threatening me over your very own actions and believing like it'll somehow affect your real life. It must be true, then, correct? What I'm doing is lying? Funny thing is, I am calm and collected and I refuse to expose more information than I already did. I also didn't know posting on 2 boards these past few days make you feel like you are being stalked, too.
Get a reality check and get help before it's too late. You have two weeks left to enjoy your sanctuary, the place where you can you can put on any mask to fool others
So, what I'm hearing is -- what little info you've been able to gather on me was through your association with IMDB? Perhaps you're employed by them as a mod or an admin? Using confidential user data for your own disgusting purposes? Also against the law, honey.
And my lawyer will be happy to add IMDB and its parent company Amazon, to my lawsuit. So not only will you get fired and spend some time in jail, bit I'll get some money! So, thanks!

I was well within my rights as a poster, as well as somebody keeping tabs on you. Weren't you saying people should stop acting like snowflakes? You brought it onto yourself from your record of stalking and threatening ( lewd pictures, and coercing, etc) to those you were well-aware were minors. Count yourself lucky you are not behind bars given your status as a sex offender for over decades. It's all saved on record.

I pretty much said everything I want to say, mate. Boards are closing because it's not worth it for IMDb to keep them open anymore... that's primarily a result of all the trolls and such, whatever you want to keep telling yourself (and yes, everyone else knows you're not right about it not being related to trolls).

Before you fade away from whence you came, please explain how you know what "everyone else" is thinking?

(but also, the vast majority of people - "everyone" - just aren't too stupid to not know that hosting boards on a site you plan to have anyways isn't really any sorta expense... minus the moderation that might be needed. If it's "not worth it" for IMDb now then that's due to the need for the manpower to moderate... and that means dealing with all the nonsense caused by trolls mostly. It's just common sense - and common sense is aptly named since it's talking about what the "common person" will know/understand. I've seen more than a few trolls try to suggest that it wasn't their action and that's just delusional.)
You need to stop reading between the lines. You need to focus on the lines. You need to read the lines. The statement unambiguously refers to toxic users ruining it for everyone else. Your pretensions at reasonable debate are just drift in the wind because, similarly to the liberal snowflakes blighting our existence, you cherry-pick your 'facts' by ignoring or distorting the inconvenient ones and inventing your own.
Until you grow up and acknowledge that the grown-ups in the room can have valid points even when they don't suit you, you need to stay at the kiddies' table.
Nah, Kris isn't necessarily wrong - really, there's more evidence supporting her interpretation than yours.
The offical IMDB statement refers to how "message boards continue to be utilized by a small but passionate community of IMDb users" but " IMDb's message boards are no longer providing a positive, useful experience for the vast majority of our more than 250 million monthly users".
Nothing there about revenue, but plenty there about toxic users - like that numbnuts who was indulging in the personal attacks.
FriendlyPsychopath True, other ways to see and share opinions would be on Gotham's Facebook, Instagram, and I guess other sites with message boards. This is like the only one I shared my thoughts on though (as well as other shows and movies), and it'll be gone February 20th. Oh well.
