R.I.P IMDb message boards

Thought this would never happen honestly. It makes no sense.

But considering the amount of trolls maybe this is not surprising. So we can thank the trolls for ruining it for the rest of us. But also lack of any useful moderation and administration. They COULD have made it much less troll-friendly, probably without spending too much money, but they never had any interest in doing so.

"Increasingly, IMDb customers have migrated to IMDb’s social media accounts as the primary place they choose to post comments and communicate with IMDb’s editors and one another"

This is crap. IMBD on fb has no traffic whatsoever. And yeah, you can have a discussion about a film on twitter! Seriously ?

This site will be absolutely worthless after February 20th. Dumb, dumb, dumb !! Where will people discuss individual movies, especially older ones and ones that are lesser known ? No need to even visit IMDb any more then, I guess. We need to start looking for alternatives.

Shame, really. I loved being part of this community. Love you all !

Completely agree, just wondering if there is not a similar message board somewhere. Does Rooney have a fan site with a board? Don't think Rotten Tomatoes has anything other that film reviews.

Guess we have two weeks to figure out if there is a doable 'plan B'.

Bummer-this place is one of the few boards on the site that is filled with decent and thoughtful human beings. There is literally not a single toxic thread I can find on this board. Quality artist attract quality human beings. It's a shame we have to suffer because of the idiocy of other members who don't even visit this page.

This sucks. This was really fun place. And I was happy to find Rooney Mara fans who respect her for who she really is, you know, a brave and talented human being...

Love you all! too 

Totally agree,I`m so mad about this.I don`t care about the IMDB Facebook account/Twitter.These boards are a place for real fans,not trolls,to converge.Yes,you do see some awful comments on some of them but that`s why there`s a flagging system,get them removed and ban the person who wrote them,don`t punish us for their bad behavior.Done with this site.

This is sad day it is nice to interact with people who are a passionate about their favourite actors careers. I hope there is a resurgence in their use and IMDB changes their mind.

totally agree, this is so stupid! the best thing about this site was the message board that was super helpful to get extra info and talk with people interested in the same actor/movie/project as you. Now it's just going to be another site where we can see what movies are coming out....like any other site.

It's gonna suck not being able to discuss different topics with people on this message boards, I'm hoping IMDb changes its mind or something!

The primary reason I come to this site is for the message boards and I`m not buying the b.s about them not getting enough traffic.I think some celebs have complained about their boards and asked to have the comments removed.

that's what I think too. like there's so many active people in these boards (specially in the bigger actors obviously) and it's stupid that they think that we now all use their facebook/twitter pages to discuss things...this is so weird
