God this is such a sad thing.... IMDb will become completely irrelevant once they shut down the message board.... If only they could have just made it better. Improved it instead. Added moderators for gods sakes. Do they honestly think all other message boards on the internet just work due to some luck they don't have?? NO... THEY HAVE MODERATORS AND ACTIVELY TRY TO BUILD A BETTER COMMUNITY....... And the don't even have to pay people. Just find regular users that have a long, clear history and give them moderator powers. It's that simple.
It was nice while it lasted I suppose, bye IMDb...

Won't happen. Amazon is a business managed by business school graduates (suits, clones, etc.) who just want short term profit. That is what they're indoctrinated to do. That is why the upper class in under-developed countries keep their countries undeveloped. All the cash flow heads to their pockets and they don't have any vision to improve their countries' problems. Short term profitability is the name of the game for them.
