I am sad to see the boards go.
This was a wonderful place to come to discover all about movies / tv shows and it still has some great information.(Until the 20th)
If there was a a movie you liked, no matter the genre, you could read the board and almost always there would be a thread of "if you liked this movie" there.
There you could see other titles listed and always I would find interesting suggestions to fill my next movie night.
If there were things you perhaps did not understand about a movie or missed, you could always ask by starting your own thread. Most people were very helpful and often there would be some discussion about things, sometimes heated but enlightening in some form or at least entertaining.
I for one am going to miss these boards terribly for the individuals who had insights into a movie, or a timeline or the historical perspective behind the movie and how often they could point you to another source on the internet to read up on it.
Unfortunately, the trolls and others who just do not know how to behave have made this a place that was not nearly as enjoyable.
Those of you who fall into this category I thumb my nose at you!
This is why we can't have cool things.
One by one all of these social areas of the internet are falling and it is to the detriment of us all.
For all of you who used the site constructively and in a positive fashion I will miss all of your contributions to the part of IMDB that was fantastic.
Thank you all.
IMDB Discussion boards, I truly am going to miss you.
