If I use moviechat.org's SEARCH... do I provide traffic to IMDb?


I don't want to provide traffic to IMDb, from now on I will use their sister site boxofficemojo and wikipedia.

I wonder if when you use the SEARCH feature on moviechat.org are you providing IMDb with traffic, I don't want to do that.

Thanks in advance.

Ditto :)

Wouch, guess what a poster at IMDb2 posted and replied to my post about spreading the word about this site;

"And MovieChat stole everyone's posts without their permission, and violated IMDb's members' privacy."

"No Thanks."


"Oh yeah, not everything was "archived".

Well, whatever, each to their own of course!

Hm, that's a shame they think that way, but I can understand why. Personally, it doesn't bother me all that much, but...I can't fault anyone for it bugging them. I still think they could give it a chance, since it archived the stuff they contributed and loved and wish they had back, but like you said...to each their own.

I don't know if one site will prevail like some people have been saying. We may be looking at a select group for each site with some wanderers using each, kind of situation. I'm cool with that as long as there is activity. If I can have a community to discuss these things I'm good, and I hope others will be too!

Thanks a lot, 9!

Precisely, 9! I, too, am using TMDB right now, but I have to say I am favoring this site. You said quality over quantity and while there may be a slight uptick in activity there, my experience has been most people sort of talking past one another instead of engaging in in depth discussion.

I may not have had as much back and forth on individuals boards in here, but when I do and on the Gen. boards the conversations have been much more of an actual dialogue. But we'll see, I'm happy with what I can get right now, so I only hope that grows!
