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 !

WUT???? What the hell? And they give us so little time to figure things out. Roons MB is probably the best one in all of IMDB. It's troll-free and with good people. And we're the ones who get fcked? Thanks IMDb. IMDB can end itself but We've made our own little community here which we shouldn't give up on. So for 'option B' The only other forum that I know which is decent is AwardsWatch. But it's mostly for film and is quite crowded for us, me thinks. But that's still one option. Do you have any better ideas where we can meet and have are discussions and stuff?
