ANNOUNCEMENT: Thanks (& Boards Closure FAQ continuation thread)
The previous announcement thread at http://www.imdb.com/board/bd0000042/flat/265706940 has reached the 600 post limit so this is a continuation thread with a little extra information.
Again thanks for all the feedback here and on https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/imdb-message-boards. We have gathered our responses in an FAQ at http://www.imdb.com/help/show_leaf?boardsclosurefaq.
We hope to see all of the Contributors Help regulars over at the Data Issues & Policy Discussions community on Get Satisfaction at https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/categories/imdb_imdb_contentdata_issues.
This will be the last day on which the data team will be checking this board, so any contribution issues posted from now onwards may not receive an answer from the team before the boards shutdown, sorry. It is therefore now best to post upon Get Satisfaction instead. Over the last few weeks we have tried to answer all open threads or to redirect them appropriately (some of you will eventually receive follow-ups via the help desk as open tickets are fixed).
I will add some links into the previous thread in a separate reply as we have tried to clarify some of the misunderstandings around the boards closure and to add further details where possible. After the boards closure, the IMDb Community Team will be working on the next round of community features for IMDb. Stay tuned.
So then ... thank you to everyone who has posted (or even just read) messages on CH over the years. We have certainly seen some changes from 2+ years of backlogs in the early 2000s to almost everything being processed within 24 hours, 7 days per week now (special thanks to our weekend team). Please do not look upon this as an end, but instead a new beginning over at https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/categories/imdb_imdb_contentdata_issues.
Col (and on behalf of the database content team)
