Curious how many of you/us..


..will cease to use Imdb at all after the 20th. A lot of people say they will delete their account completely as they don't utilize any of the other features/information here.

My question is: Will there even be a need for an account? Wont all accounts be a moot point after the 20th? Will we still need to log in for any other purpose? Anyone know? 

Thanks!

I'm not sure if my account will even be relevant after the 20th, but I rarely come here to read the actual movie/actors' pages. Like others have said, you can Google most information and find it elsewhere. I come here and go directly to the Message Boards, and maybe will stray back to the Facts or an actor's bio, but those are after-thoughts. Very highly doubt I'll use this site going forward. Such a huge disappointment.

But if it can be deleted, I'll do it in order to contribute to the protest, even in a minute way.

I will still be on IMDb and logged in. I'm thinking about backing up other users' lists for fear that they'll delete their own lists which they have the right and power to do.

If they still have the watch list and rating systems then there will be a few things that the accounts can utilize.

For me, it's the opposite. I come to IMDB all the time for info, and only occasionally visit the boards. Although once in INTK, I would often stay for hours. Gonna miss it! As for my account, I have a ton of films on my Watch List, so I guess that's useful.

I used to rate films and keep track of them using IMDB. But I feel this is a huge betrayal to its loyal users and will use RT from the 20th on to check out movie info. Trying to see if we can get something going at this web site for message forums as it has great potential:

Thanks that looks like a good site.

There are a lot of good sites to get information. As far as I'm concerned no massage boards no IMdB.
