Board dead?


I haven’t seen a post here for over 2 days. Has posting to the board been disabled or broken?

Lack of interest doesn't at all surprise me. This is Star Wars in name only.

This is normal for moviechat...it's not at IMDb levels yet ..

reply

Nor ever will be...

More than likely true. It's never going to be like the old imdb boards when the hype of big releases would often crash the boards from all the traffic.

reply

Yep. This place is tiny by comparison.

reply

The early years if IMDb was very much like this as well. To be honest though I wouldn't want it to be like the later days of IMDb. The boards crashing constantly sucked ..

reply

Yep. Moviechat is at about 2007 era IMDb

reply

I lived for IMDb boards. Couldn’t believe it when they announced shutting them down.

reply

It was the greatest act of social media sabotage the world has ever known.

reply

I think the movie studios DEMANDED they be shut down, because they were directly affecting business like ticket sales for particularly bad movies like this.

reply

Not even close. I don't know how anyone can seriously compare the two in terms of user numbers. How many regular users are there on Moviechat, a few hundred ? IMDb must have been well into the tens of thousands of regular users.


reply

Wrong. It isn’t true. Lies. Impossible.

reply

What are you trying to say...?

reply

It's definitely in the thousands. Go on the general board for instance. The estimated traffic is around 500,000 visits per month (not unique visitors). It's the most popular IMDB alternative out there currently.

reply

It´s very early days for Movie Chat even though its been almost three years but I´ve seen a noticeable increase in activity here in the last few months. Not bad considering it took IMDB over 20 years to get where it was.

reply

No it's not normal for Moviechat - most popular movies have several new threads a day. The interest level for this movie is just in the gutter.

reply

Disney will ramp up the promos around Thanksgiving.

reply

They are focusing on Disney+, which starts Nov 12. The Mandalorian is getting new TV spots every day.

bombs away, Star Wars is DEAD

reply

yeah board is a bit dead. I've been to this forum for about 5 minutes and it is sooo negative, so dull. This is not where the nerds go to talk. :( I guess I have to find something else.

reply

Hence, you are a nerd.

reply

Just the movie getting the disinterest it deserves, I think.

I took my nephew to see Jojo Rabbit last weekend; after the SW trailer rolled, the theater was still silent.

reply

😞 Never mind the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis. Now we have the real-life Tragedy of Star Wars. Never thought I’d live to see the day.
