Movie chat.org imported IMDb posts to here !


I have found some of my posts from IMDb posted on here. Are they importing everything, why are not more ppl on this site ?

reply

Jim imported everything he could. It might not be all the way complete, but he's done a good job.

He's done a really great job---I've found threads for obscure Swedish TV shows that I really thought were lost forever.

I've been wondering if we could do more to let people know about moviechat. I thought about if it would be appropriate to go to other similar forums and post a link, or maybe that would be considered bad manners. I tried some other replacement sites that just weren't even close to what's going on here now.

I'd like to know if anyone could measure IMDB traffic over several months to see if/how it's changed since the forums are gone. I do still go there for some things, but it's really the forums that I spent time on reading.

There are threads on both those subjects if you look hard enough. There's even Facebook and Twitter pages for the site. I think someone linked to an Alexa page that measured IMDb traffic over the past few months.

IMDb Traffic


MovieChat Traffic

Our stats are much better in all three categories: Bounce Rate, Page Views and Time Spent.

As far as promoting the site, post links to us in all of your social media circles. Let as many people know as possible. Thanks!! 😃😃

That's awesome! Thanks for posting that update--I will gladly let people know there's a great place to come for forums. (I hesitate to even call it a replacement now as I see how things are growing so positively.)

reply

Wow! Thanks for posting this. I'm happy to see moviechat is doing well!

I joined yesterday, although I was more active on individual pages rather than the general boards. I should have joined here earlier as someone stole my underscore! I had it for 11 years at imdb. I feel naked without it! 😭😭😭

Nice alternative here. On the imdbv2, what ever it's called ? I really have no desire discussing movies ? It's an awful setup !

reply

Welcome, Vara! I haven't been on IMDB2, but have checked out a couple of other alternative sites. For me, this is the best one.

Check out the Trending section on the home page. It shows the activity to the boards were people have recently posted. It a lot of fun because you'll see films/shows you either forgot about and wouldn't think of to search for, or those you'd never heard of before and might interest you.

Have fun!

You have to advance search a movie. The layout is killing the site.

reply

Wha? I haven't had to advance search any movie or show. Things work here very similarly to the way they did on IMDB. Input the show or movie or actors' name you're interested in, hit enter, and you'll be shown a search result very much like that on IMDB. I've never used the advance search option here because I've never needed to, and actually didn't know there was one.

reply

On imdbv2! Discussion boards are almost bare and it's too much work searching a movie

reply

Oh, sorry, I didn't realise you were talking about IMDB2. With the exception of a couple of posts that have linked to threads there, I know nothing about it.
