Any IMDb Message Board Refugees Here?


I'd love to know if some of my fellow former IMDb users are here. It's been 2 days and I'm going through withdrawal lol. I miss the Emoticons, being able to block quotes from other posters and being able to create clickable links to websites. I wonder if we'll ever be able to do those things here at MovieChat...

Right here, and seeing this movie tonight!

Nope. I never posted on IMDb.

Even though IMDb does not have the message boards anymore which I am not very happy about, I still continue to use that website because If I want to know if a movie/television/video game title has sequels, prequels, remakes, etc., which actors/actresses play which character(s) or does the voice(s), or company credits, IMDb is a great website for that. So I do not understand why people on this website say they will in a since boycott IMDb. I get that people enjoyed the the message boards; however, IMDb is much more than that. With that said, I am so glad this website exists so I can continue reading what other people have to say about a particular title. Thanks moviechat.org for keeping the message boards alive.

People are boycotting because they are angry/hurt/upset over something beloved taken away from them; and having no say in the matter.

Plenty of other resources for that. I usually use omdb now for that kind of info. The boards were 95% of imdbs value to me, but I think moviechat has a much better interface.

Welcome! Aren't we all imdb refugees?? Seems like the site is constantly being updated, so I'm pretty sure those features will happen. I know I can add emoticons from my ipad keyboard 😀😬👌, and I've seen clickable links, so I think it's just a matter of knowing the right code.

Yup. This is ok for right now, yeah it's still a little simplistic compared to the imdb message boards but they help me with my purposes. I like to hear what people thought of the film. Also trying to promote a Youtube channel that i'm working very hard on in my free time.

I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance. https://youtu.be/AD4MjlFtI4k

I still check Imdb, but don't spend nearly as much time there as I used to. This seems to be the best replacement, and there are a lot of the old threads.

Yes! I've been looking for a site like this since February. The IMDB BB was always my first stop after seeing a movie. I could always count on the board to address anything that did not make sense or was questionable. This looks very similar-hope it stays up and running.

Now...will someone please tell me the point of the "Huck" character in Table 19???
