How come people don't post in the individual pages?

This is like the fourth post about this on general discussion.

Suggestion: Anytime you want to comment on a movie's/show's messageboard, alert people on here first. Put up a thread that states "Discussion of *put movie/show title here* on its message board"

The reason of why people are not spreading out in individual message boards is because when this site was first built, much of the activity has been in the general discussion. Since this is the case, people would much rather write about anything NOT movie related than movie related. The convenience of writing on general discussion is easier than having to click on a specific show or a movie and then thinking up a discussion for it.

When IMDb was made, most of the people on there were moviegoers or show watchers and thus, it would always be checked out. Producers, crew, background, etc. would also be there on the daily. IMDb even had times when that movie/show would be on cable. Everything played into being on the message boards. Here, about 75% of the posts are not movie related and there is still some difficulty in weeding out the trolls, who further stray away from posting anything movie/show related.

Oh and also worth mentioning, there was a huge drop in the amount of people visiting each site. This site came about towards the end of February and so it is going to take a lot of catching up, member wise, than all those on IMDb.

I also started disscusions for tomb raider movie,but only a few " followed".😉

There's simply not enough people to generate individual board conversations yet. There's only a few dozen who post a lot in General... and then you divide that amount by those who have seen or care about a specific show or movie and that number quickly reduces to only a few or zero. I think if a show isn't new or hot, it will require fans of a show to post very consistently until others find them. In a way, it's almost like starting their own message board. Because most people don't want to go through the trouble of starting their own community, they will usually get discouraged and just go somewhere else. But they should keep posting if they ever want to recreate what once existed at imdb.

I'm doing the best I can to start conversations on both popular and obscure films. I hope eventually it will attract newer people to the site down the line.

imdb.com had the favorites list which I had bookmarked to easily see which boards had new messages. Even if they didn't, seeing the titles gave me ideas for new topics.

I much prefer the individual pages. It was the only reason I used imdb. So I, for one, will probably be mostly posting on the various pages instead of here.

maybe i've missed it but is there a category for "technical improvements", i.e. things we might want to see on the site that was on IMdb? you've done a fantastic job bringing the threads over and, I too, go on the individual movie/actor sites if i want to know something. however, having the content like below would be helpful. i

Storyline

The year is 1936. An archeology professor named Indiana Jones is venturing in the jungles of South America searching for a golden statue. Unfortunately, he sets off a deadly trap but miraculously escapes. Then, Jones hears from a museum curator named Marcus Brody about a biblical artifact called The Ark of the Covenant, which can hold the key to humanly existence. Jones has to venture to vast places such as Nepal and Egypt to find this artifact. However, he will have to fight his enemy Rene Belloq and a band of Nazis in order to reach it.

Trivia
The Life magazine read by Toht on the plane to Nepal is dated November 30, 1936, which is also the day the social activist Abbie Hoffman was born. Steven Spielberg would years later be initially slated to direct a project about Hoffman and his fellow defendants in the Chicago Seven. See more »
Goofs
When Indy and Marion travel from Nepal to Egypt, super-imposed over the map showing their route, is a Douglas DC-3. The DC-3 first flew on 17 December, 1935. The first aircraft of this type were delivered to American Airline during 1936. KLM Royal Dutch Airline also received their first DC-3 in that year, and from August 1937 used it on their Amsterdam-Batavia (now Jakarta)-Sydney route, replacing earlier Fokker aircraft. The majority of all the 300 to 400 DC-3 airframes built before World War II were in fact flying for American, Eastern, United, and TWA airlines within the U.S., and it would have been very unlikely to find one flying between Nepal and Egypt in late 1936.

As others have said, this is a new site and it will take time to build. I think you have to be patient, keep posting on individual pages and realize that with fewer members than IMDb had it will take longer to see responses to your posts. Don't shy from responding to old posts, either. You likely won't get a response from the original posters but you'll revive the page, it'll pop up in Trending, people will see it and hopefully respond with a post of their own.
