IMDB removes old threads when they notice they do not have any activity for some time. It is really bad because I miss to read Kent Lipham posts. The guy who played Scott in the movie used to post here frequently, it was genuinely him. He even sent photos to some users. Then he disappeared and after a while a relative (I think it was his mom) came here to tell us he had passed away.
