What draws you to the general board?


I like to browse the individual pages, but the general board has a certain je ne sais quoi, a personality, and a community sensibility that I find appealing. Why do you post on in the General board?

Looking for some action...some of the movie pages are dead.

Been here since the end of IMDb

I was looking for old IMDB threads.

I really appreciate that IMDB posts are archived here. It's fun to see what I said 15 years ago. Sometimes I agree with myself, but often I feel like it was someone else entirely.

reply

Many threads from general discussion are deleted. Unfortunately.

I wasn't that prolific on the general board there. Mostly I've dug up posts from the individual pages. Something is better than nothing I guess.

They should leave topics from general(atleast some) and delete topic with 10+ years. There are topics with 17 years old span. Kate Winslet topic from 2004 or so...

Since it's just text, I think they should keep everything. But MC probably wants to focus on new stuff; create their own legacy.

the movie knowledge on here kept me around in the early days and continues to. imdb was terrible at the end with all the trolls.

Some interesting topics come up on GD.

Also most of the movies and TV shows I watch or have an interest in don’t get discussed on here on the individual discussion boards so GD is the only place I bother going on to.
