Is anyone here from the old imdb board?
Do you remember the classics?
Ed Peletier appreciation threads
What did Jenner whisper in Rick's ear? threads.
Who mows the grass?
He talked about the deer!
Why don't they run them over by cars?
An in depth analysis of the Alexandrian wall supports
So many great threads. I miss the good old days.
I think most of those posts are still here. There's about 200 รท pages here imported from the old IMDB board. ;)
Over on the Breaking Bad board,you can still find the infamous Ultimate Hippo's mutiple tirades about Hank plus numerous others he has made since then with a new username
Unfortunately, they were all purged well before imdb got shut down. This board's archive goes back to page 238, which is season 7 already.
You can see here on page 234, the discussion on the shutdown begins, meaning only 4 pages prior to the imdb shutdown are available - and it's all troll posting.

I forgot about the engineering analysis of the Alexandrian wall. I was going to look over the calculations, but the thread must have gotten buried under all the troll posts.
but the thread must have gotten buried under all the troll posts.
imdb purged a lot of that even before they shutdown and yet so many of troll posts remain, as you point out. There was no rhyme nor reason to it. There were boards that lost their entire post history even though it was small and others like this one that went back hundreds of pages. It wasn't based on time or size or anything we could determine.
shareI remember when that happened, but the 2016 Ghostbusters board made this one look tame.
shareI was a part of that board. I liked the first season- I hated all the rest. I stuck in there until the second season of the Negan wars, but midway through it I gave up. I kept waiting for the show to get good again, but it never did.
shareTWD boards were pretty unpleasant. I remember primarily the hate threads about Lori, Rick's wife. It was disgusting , and that tendency for a bug of misogynist boys to hate their mommies and take it out on female stars, like Lori Grimes, or Skylar White, etc.
I mostly remember the IMDB boards from a long, long time ago before it was all taken over by trolls ... before everything was taken over by trolls. They ought to be a law, find a troll, kill a troll - do a public service.
I agree that originally IMDB was much better. I started posting on there around 1999-2000. I use to look forward to all of the great conversation and movie analysis. Unfortunately, around 2010 it became a nightmare. I will admit though that some of the trolls were funny. However, most were annoying. As for Lori, her character was poorly written. She was extremely unlikable. So, I understood the hate that she got. Who was Skylar White? I don't recognize that name.
shareThe trolls from imdb ended up over on filmboards dot com
Amazingly, they are all still posting the exact same stupid stuff. Just tons of garbage posts. The names are all instantly recognizable as well.
The most annoying to me were the ones that posted multiple posts, all with the same subject, just with one word changed. Pages of that stuff.

Theres an entire season of Southpark about trolls and trolling season 20, was actually kind of epic!
shareMy favorite thread was the one that had people telling their own versions of how a dumpster saved Glenn from being devoured by the zombie horde. The stories were hilarious! ๐
shareIs that thread still archived? I would love to read that. There is another site that saved all of the threads from imdb, but I can't remember the name of it.
shareSadly I have not been able to find it. It's definitely not here and I've checked several other IMDB archive sites and have had no luck โน
shareThe only other site that archived the IMDB boards that I know of is this one-
https://www.themoviedb.org/
However, as someone above pointed out, IMDB purged a lot of these posts prior to the shutdown, so I doubt they go any further back than this one.
The best bet is probably the Internet Archive Wayback Machine site,
I remember a long-haired middle-aged redneck who was a little too invested in the show.
shareLOL What was the user name?
shareI forgot but he had a moustache, and he always went on and on about what he would do in any given character's situation.
shareI'm not sure how this just occurred to me, but the Winfield_Browne guy had this effect. He seemed to be universally hated.

shareHoly shit, that's hilarious. ๐๐

shareIf this is the guy that I think it is, it's a shame that all of those old posts got deleted.

The TWD board was a lot of fun in the early seasons. The "napping zombies" controversy, that "Ed's Revenge" video someone put together, the timeline issues, parachuting zombies, etc.. I became sort of the arch-critic of the show over that time and my reviews, which, over the years, addressed it from just about every conceivable angle, would end up generating hundreds of responses. It was great fun.
I guess "HE TALKED! ABOUT! THE DEER!" will never not be funny.
The mental gymnastics required for the fanboys to justify the nonsense that happened in this show was endless entertainment.
