REDIRECTED: New Genres

I know a few people have asked this question already but IMDb staff what's the situation with the creation of the new genres? Namely:

Award Show
Erotica
Experimental
Lifestyle
Soap Opera

At the risk of sounding narky but this is dragging out beyond anything I feared. I know there was talk of there being technical issues but that is somewhat vague. Is there no way of letting us know a little more in terms of how long this is going to take? Surely it can't be long now?!

There was talk about further genres being at least discussed, these ones:

Anime
Comic Book
Educational
Disaster
Martial Arts
Neo-Noir
Period Film
Religion
Supernatural

(there may have been others)

But obviously we haven't even implemented the first batch so discussions on others is a bit pointless I suppose but thought I should list them in any case to try and keep the general issue alive.

It seems like a forlorn bounce but I will bump this thread anyway.

Any news on this please staff?

Hi,

The Genres manager is currently on leave after an accident, but I'll forward this to him so he can look at it on his return.

Bumping this.

Please give an update. No progress in years.

Thanks.

Yes, it would seem that this has been put on hold for a long time.

Staff, when are these going live?
