I'm very sad. There is a lot of trolling and personal attacking on these boards, but there are also islands of civility, and opportunities to have very worthwhile discussions. I will miss you guys, and I will have great memories of threads like "Delete your post Frozen-style".

It's like IMDb, but less big. Same purpose though!
Now we need to invite wormhole, zelos, moviefreak, Max, yukio, etc and start fresh
You said it yourself pal, we're the guardians of the galaxy!
Goodbye IMDb.

I'm sad too, achun! My time on the "Frozen" boards during fall of 2013/Spring of 2014 was so much fun! I have never enjoyed discussing a movie as much as I did this one. I love talking movies and IMDB forums have always been the first place I go to do that. So sad! It's the end of an era.
Goodbye y'all! :(
A substitute for the IMDB Message Boards – they are now trying to be able to duplicate the IMDB message boards, allowing discussion for individual films:
https://www.themoviedb.org/
Forums are here:
https://www.themoviedb.org/talk
How to find discussion of individual films. (They don't have this yet for TV):

Another substitute for the IMDB Message Boards:
Someone picked this up on the Classic Film Board:
http://imdb2.freeforums.net/
Its creator calls it a clone of IMDB message boards.

I looked at it, and it didn't seem to have a useful Search function.
