GOODBYE EVERYONE - THE BOARDS ARE CLOSING FOREVER


It's been real.

Personally I think this is the dumbest mover ever, EVER.

But hey, IMDB is known for doing very dumb stuff, so why not top all of that by doing one ultimate super dumb massive thing? It's in line with their flawed logic, and their past history of stupid moves.



Talk about tossing the baby with the bath water...

I can't say that I haven't had fun the past 12 years posting here, and keeping Hollywierd informed about what a mess it's become, and have a few laughs along the way as well.

However, The boards here have evolved into a kindergarten of dummies with an average IQ of 50. Name calling for stating an opinion, and then revenge in the reply posts.

If IMDB keeps open the review section for its members, as well as the 'edit' button that I have enjoyed clicking on almost 300 times to add info about a flick, and keeps an "honest" ratings number, that isn't bought by Hollyweird (my biggest concern), I think it may be a positive move, and will "class up the site". Good luck IMDB, I hope locking up your Police uniforms works out for you in the long run.

However, If I see the ratings numbers on poorly made big budget movies get a stank to them, I'm gone, and so will the rest of us be.

All the best with this decision.

I believe the traffic/hits will drop dramatically once the boards are closed.

IMDB will regret the decision to close them.

I certainly agree with you about the traffic, however, it may be traffic they are glad to be rid of. I love playing on the boards, but honestly, if I put myself in their shoes, I can understand this change.

Those valued members that played on the boards with integrity, may evolve to expressing their opinions by writing reviews. Reviews can't be replied to or
Trolled on. If they keep the site honest in the ratings department, the site might eventually gain esteem, hence more advertising dollars once the riff-raff is gone. My opinion anyway....
