IMDb Message Boards Announcement

IMDb is the world's most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content. As part of our ongoing effort to continually evaluate and enhance the customer experience on IMDb, we have decided to disable IMDb's message boards on February 20, 2017. This includes the Private Message system. After in-depth discussion and examination, we have concluded that IMDb's message boards are no longer providing a positive, useful experience for the vast majority of our more than 250 million monthly users worldwide. The decision to retire a long-standing feature was made only after careful consideration and was based on data and traffic.

Increasingly, IMDb customers have migrated to IMDb's social media accounts as the primary place they choose to post comments and communicate with IMDb's editors and one another. IMDb's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/imdb) and official Twitter account (https://twitter.com/imdb) have an audience of more than 10 million engaged fans. IMDb also maintains official accounts on Snapchat (https://www.snapchat.com/add/imdblive), Pinterest (https://www.pinterest.com/imdbofficial/), YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/imdb), and Tumblr (http://imdb.tumblr.com/).

Because IMDb's message boards continue to be utilized by a small but passionate community of IMDb users, we announced our decision to disable our message boards on February 3, 2017 but will leave them open for two additional weeks so that users will have ample time to archive any message board content they'd like to keep for personal use. During this two-week transition period, which concludes on February 19, 2017, IMDb message board users can exchange contact information with any other board users they would like to remain in communication with (since once we shut down the IMDb message boards, users will no longer be able to send personal messages to one another). We regret any disappointment or frustration IMDb message board users may experience as a result of this decision.

IMDb is passionately committed to providing innovative ways for our hundreds of millions of users to engage and communicate with one another. We will continue to enhance our current offerings and launch new features in 2017 and beyond that will help our customers communicate and express themselves in meaningful ways while leveraging emerging technologies and opportunities.

Well then kurt, looks like you've got 2 weeks in which to finally back up one of your accusations with evidence and actually present a definition of "militant atheist" that once and for all doesn't completely rule deviates, Film and myself out of being called that.

Look what Cosmo and the atheists did.

Don't pretend that you're not upset at losing the immediate ability to freely insult atheists, Brits and anyone who isn't your type of Christian, especially as you were seemingly kicked off Facebook as well.

[–] kurt-2000 8 years ago

especially as you were seemingly kicked off Facebook as well.

I wasn't kicked off Facebook. I'm on Facebook. Explain yourself if you can.

[–] LenaAFoster 8 years ago

I will miss everyone here. . And I wish everyone well. It's too bad there are no alternatives. I enjoy the discussion.

We will miss you too.

Now poor cosmo has no one to talk to.

[–] CosmopolitanHobo 8 years ago

Explain yourself if you can.

What, like you've never done?

[–] LenaAFoster 8 years ago

Someone did a clone of the community message boards and stuck it on freeforums.net

It is imdb2 v 2.0.

But, Kurt, since you are our board chief so to speak, do you have any computer interest etc because there is boardhost a free forum starter and you or someone could start a Gods Not Dead thread somewhere else. That's what's happening on all the boards. And fast.

I personally think it is awesome. If IMDB thinks it will herd all of us towards its Facebook page like sheep it has another thing coming. Lol. . Only Jesus can herd Galena like sheep.

For anyone interested, the IMDB2 board is interesting. It is a clone of the topics in the message board community. The exact site can be found on a thread in the politics forum.

No wonder he's got such a misplaced ego.

[–] LenaAFoster 8 years ago

Well, Cosmo. No one is stopping you, sweetie. I think personally that very fast a new website will emerge almost identical to IMDB because there are millions of folks posting and reading here and someone will fill the void.

My suggestion was a website where you have to see an ad at login. That would pay for it.

[–] kurt-2000 8 years ago

Even my dog didn't follow faithfully like you did cosmo. I'd toss you a biscuit treat if you lived closer.

[–] CosmopolitanHobo 8 years ago

Even my dog didn't follow faithfully like you did cosmo.

Like that time I followed you to both RFS and Film General in an attempt to start an argument with you on numerous threads, followed by months worth of me talking about how I was reading through your entire comment history?

Oh, hang on, that was you doing it to me wasn't it. Anyway, I think it's clear which one of us is going to miss the other seeing as how you can't help but make mention of me in practically all your posts over this last day or so. And, much as I've explained to you before, I came to this board to talk with Digs, I believe it was, so it's almost guaranteed that you engaged in conversation with me first on here, seeing as how your life is seemingly empty id you're not attempting to insult Brits and atheists.

[–] kurt-2000 8 years ago

I came to this board to talk with Digs

Apparently he got bored and left.

[–] CosmopolitanHobo 8 years ago

Apparently he got bored and left.

Well at least you can count him in among your list of those you've driven off these boards with your lies and insults, though judging by the lack of them it seems most of those were Christians. Fortunately for you a few of us are a bit more thick skinned than that and actually find your dishonest nonsense entertaining enough to have stuck around.

[–] kurt-2000 8 years ago

Well at least you can count him in among your list of those you've driven off these boards with your lies and insults

Actually Digs created a thread with my name on it asking if I had watched the critically acclaimed series 'Westworld' on the GND message board, so I didn't chase him off. He's simply been busy on the WW board.

More proof that you don't pay attention to conversions on any board.

[–] deviates 8 years ago

Thanks for the heads up Lena. I just checked and there's a couple of alternatives being set up, so it'll be worth keeping an eye on them to see which one builds up a decent community. I'm in agreement about being herded towards facebook... less so about Jesus bit :P

[–] kurt-2000 8 years ago

I've already explained to the Brit atheist club here that they're going to hell. I think that says it all. God's rules - not mine.

Cosmo, Film and deviates will all be sniveling on their death beds begging God to forgive them.

Because that's what atheists do when they realize that nothingness in the afterlife was their lame coin flip.

[–] FilmFlaneur 8 years ago

Cosmo, Film and deviates will all be sniveling on their death beds begging God to forgive them.

I prefer Lena's promise of trip to the Lake of Fire. It sounds like a good day out.

I'm well aware that railing does no good kurt2000

[–] kurt-2000 8 years ago

I saw that in Harry Potter. Nice touch too.

[–] LenaAFoster 8 years ago

I think in the end you will be a believer. Sorry. No lake of fire for you. I bet you will get in by the chin of your chinny chin chin to the New Earth.

[–] CosmopolitanHobo 8 years ago

Your buddy kurt says no. Do you think he'll get in, he is very opposed to leading a good life or doing anything that Jesus might consider worthy of entry?

[–] kurt-2000 8 years ago

Film doesn't believe in God or Heaven, and he's threatened to scold God for what he feels are God's imperfections.

All together, that's a certain trip to hell for Film. He's earned it.

[–] FilmFlaneur 8 years ago

Film doesn't believe in God ... and he's threatened to scold God for what he feels are God's imperfections

Perhaps you need to work on the logic of your assertions, kurt - there is still just enough time. Also since I have never 'threatened to scold' your erstwhile deity then this is, alas, just another straw man. I shall miss such entertainments when all is closed here lol.

that's a certain trip to hell for Film

Cool, will I get to meet Princess Lilith? As the seducer of Adam I bet she is a babe. I bet Asmodeus has a few tales to tell, too.

I am God's #1 Spokesman on IMDB Navaros

[–] kurt-2000 8 years ago

Also since I have never 'threatened to scold' your erstwhile

Actually you accused God of crimes against humanity and demanded an answer, but that's fine. I wouldn't admit to that demand either.

I shall miss such entertainments when all is closed here lol.

I will not. Enjoy your roasting in hell.
" ...will I get to meet Princess Lilith? I bet she is a babe...."

[–] FilmFlaneur 8 years ago

I think in the end you will be a believer. Sorry. No lake of fire for you

Make yer mind up.

But, since your god presumably knows exactly what will persuade (not coerce) me and many other sceptics to know it exists - and, conversely what won't ever suffice - then I await to hear from it clearly and unambiguously, as always.

Hint: the Theological Trio of you, kurt and Navaros, alternatively hectoring, threatening, bickering and sulking about preferred versions of Xianity is not going to be that thing to persuade.

[–] deviates 8 years ago

I've already explained to the Brit atheist club here that they're going to hell.

Yep, you've said a lot I don't believe.

Because that's what atheists do when they realize that nothingness in the afterlife was their lame coin flip.

You realise you're arguing in favour of choosing a belief in God because it makes you feel comfortable?

[–] kurt-2000 8 years ago

You realise you're arguing in favour of choosing a belief in God because it makes you feel comfortable?

Wrong. I made a decisive choice without speculation that Islam might be a better fit for me. You've made no choices deviates, other than to face hell when you die because you're convinced that nothingness awaits the soul after death. Actually you don't believe in souls either, which again begs the question: why are you even on IMDb boards in the first place.

Cosmo has a excuse since he's inherently stupid, but you allege to be an educator.

[–] deviates 8 years ago

Wrong. I made a decisive choice

I wasn't talking about your personal choice, but the argument you had made - that someone should choose a belief in God because it makes you feel comfortable. There's no getting
around it, that's what you were suggesting.

[–] deviates 8 years ago

It's very Fox News of you to blame atheists for something completely unrelated.

[–] kurt-2000 8 years ago

Theresa May called.

Apparently you tossed her newspaper in the bushes again deviates.

[–] deviates 8 years ago

Don't be silly Kurt, Theresa May clearly doesn't read the newspaper. If she did she'd be much better prepared for the obvious questions at press conferences.

[–] FilmFlaneur 8 years ago

IMDb is passionately committed to providing innovative ways for our hundreds of millions of users to engage and communicate with one another [sic]

At a time when other sites are desperate to drive traffic, page views and visitor-engagement, IMDb appear to walking backwards.

I'm well aware that railing does no good kurt2000

[–] CosmopolitanHobo 8 years ago

Nothing says 'innovative ways to communicate' quite like suggesting people use twitter, Facebook and YouTube! Things that most people probably use anyway, albeit for other reasons than the discussions they have somewhere like here, apart from our resident non-Christian Christian spokesman, who based on what he's said just uses Facebook to insult atheists anyway.

[–] kurt-2000 8 years ago

Actually the atheists on Facebook are my friends (friended by me). I'm actually courteous to them. Wouldn't want to end up in Facebook jail. You know how it is.

😁

[–] CosmopolitanHobo 8 years ago

the atheists on Facebook are my friends (friended by me).

Do you not have to be 'friends' with people on there in order to even talk to them in the first place?

I'm actually courteous to them.

Of course you are

Wouldn't want to end up in Facebook jail. You know how it is.

Seriously, I haven't been on Facebook for about 8 years, I have no idea what this is in reference to. Unless it's just you being funny, in which case I don't get it anyway.

[–] kurt-2000 8 years ago

Do you not have to be 'friends' with people on there in order to even talk to them in the first place?

You're an idiot. Read the instructions on how Facebook works before you type stupid comments.

Of course you are

How would you know when you just demonstrated that you don't know how Facebook even works?

Seriously, I haven't been on Facebook for about 8 years, I have no idea what this is in reference to. Unless it's just you being funny, in which case I don't get it anyway.

I don't think you know anything about Facebook, and I don't think you're funny either.

[–] CosmopolitanHobo 8 years ago

You're an idiot. Read the instructions on how Facebook works before you type stupid comments.

Lord forbid that anyone ever asks a simple question of you. Do you ever look in the mirror and think to yourself: 'today kurt, I won't be an utter cockwomble'? Oh well, maybe I should have pointed out how I've not been on Facebook for the best part of 8 years.

"Seriously, I haven't been on Facebook for about 8 years".

Look at that, no only did I mention it, you even quoted it. Seriously, why are you filled with so much hate and anger?

How would you know when you just demonstrated that you don't know how Facebook even works?

A couple of points to make here. 1- I was quite clearly asking for clarification on something because I don't use facebook. 2-Not using facebook has zero effect on knowing what is means to be 'courteous', and has spotted that you appear to be incapable of even knowing what it means let alone being able to act that way.

I don't think you know anything about Facebook

And proudly so, that's why I asked you a question on it you angry little bigot.

I don't think you're funny either.

Well why explain yourself when you can make a lame and completely irrelevant insult instead.

[–] kurt-2000 8 years ago

cockwomble

Cosmo potty mouth. Don't ever lecture me about profane and insulting comments ever again. You know perfectly will that any word that begins with "c*ck", isn't going to be well received by Americans. You intentionally decided to be obnoxious.

This is an example of you being the antagonist. I think you're the one with the mental problems, Mr. Freud.

If you want to play this little game, then you're a spunky wanker cockwombler.

"Seriously, I haven't been on Facebook for about 8 years".

Look at that, no only did I mention it, you even quoted it. Seriously, why are you filled with so much hate and anger?

Then maybe you should stop passing judgement about Facebook if you haven't gone near it for 8 years.

I have no idea what all this blather is about.

Are you requesting that I educated you about Facebook? If not, then zip it.

I don't think you know anything about Facebook

And proudly so, that's why I asked you a question on it you angry little bigot.

"And proudly so..." Then why did you ask about Facebook or even bring it up?

[–] CosmopolitanHobo 8 years ago

Cosmo potty mouth. Don't ever lecture me about profane and insulting comments ever again. You know perfectly will that any word that begins with "c*ck", isn't going to be well received by Americans.

I'll respond to the rest later, when I'm at a computer and not having to deal with a bloody tablet.

What are you on about? What's so special about the word cock that it offends Americans so much? If this is true, which I doubt as it's coming from you, why on earth would that be something I'd be even vaguely aware of, let alone know about it 'perfectly well'? Are you that homophobic that the word cock offends you?

My lecture to you, which wasn't even close to a lecture by the way, wasn't abut using profane language, it was a suggestion that you not accuse others of swearing when your own choice of words is colorful, at best.

By the way, and I will be repeating this later, "spunky" is actually something of a compliment, so thank you Kurt, and what exactly do you think a " cockwombler" is?

[–] CosmopolitanHobo 8 years ago

Now for the full response.

Don't ever lecture me about profane and insulting comments ever again.

As previously stated, you never received any form of lecture. What you did do was complain about atheists using foul language, so I pointed out that you are far more foul mouthed than anyone on here so probably shouldn't complain about others. By the way, do you still think that 'bullshít' isn't a swear word?

You know perfectly will that any word that begins with "c*ck", isn't going to be well received by Americans.

I'll repeat this so that you hopefully don't ignore it. What's so important about that word 'cock' that it offends Americans so much? If this is true, unlikely though it may be, why would it be something I'd know "perfectly well"? Have you ever heard the word 'cockwomble' get used before? And being American I doubt you have.

This is an example of you being the antagonist.

Oh goody, we can add 'antagonist' to the list of words you don't understand. How exactly am I an antagonist by responding to you calling me an idiot on a thread, started by you, that names me and all other atheists as being responsible for IMDb shutting down the boards? And before you say anything, no I don't think that you're stupid enough to think that we are responsible for it.

you're a spunky wanker cockwombler.

Again, thank you for the compliment of spunky. You really shouldn't use word you don't understand. Aren't you offending yourself deeply by saying a word that begins with cock?

Then maybe you should stop passing judgement about Facebook if you haven't gone near it for 8 years.

I wasn't passing judgement. That's what you do when you've got your god complex going.

I have no idea what all this blather is about.

Funny how you never have any idea what someone's on about when they're explaining something logical to you.

Are you requesting that I educated you about Facebook? If not, then zip it.

Come with me now, on a journey through time and space: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4824308/board/thread/265722769?d=265827366&p=2#265827366
Look at that, turns out that I was asking you a question about facebook. But we can't have you answering can we kurt, oh no, not when you'd rather start flinging insults.
And I'd still like to know what you mean by "facebook jail"?

"And proudly so..." Then why did you ask about Facebook or even bring it up?

It was all related to a wider body of text. Seriously, go into thread mode and look back at how things developed. It's really not that hard.

[–] kurt-2000 8 years ago

I see Kaito's name popped up. lol I knew that dope couldn't stay away.

[–] Kaito_Kars 8 years ago

Funny you're blaming us atheists but yet I don't see them saying it's the atheists fault, unless you think that God is shutting down the boards because of us lol
