I couldn't agree more. Someone on these boards recommended it........and no offense, but I thought it was crap. None of it even made any sense. And NOTHING was scary.........just stupid.
I'm a nurse. Are you a medical doctor?
F#%K IMDb!!
Hey StyxNyx, I found out where I got the info about 10,000 movies/shows. I came across the page (still in my safari "pages" on my iPhone) where I saw a "Jim post" that someone copied & pasted, in which Jim said he had archived the posts from the top 10,000 movies and shows. I don't know where Jim's original post was, but it was during the last few days before IMDb shut down. I knew I had read it somewhere. Lol. I think he has a "Board" for over 4 million movies/shows, but not necessarily each and every 'post' ever written on those 4 million. He HAS though, archived over 3 million "Posts" overall, but it appears they're from the TOP 10,000 movies/shows, not all 4 million. Does that make sense? That was what I was trying to say. It's a little confusing. But by the time the boards closed, Jim may very well have retrieved and archived every singe post ever submitted for over 4 million movies and tv shows. He's that good! 😀
"Hi Everyone,
My name’s Jim, and I created MovieChat.org as an archive and replacement for IMDB’s message boards which are shutting down this week. For those of you not familiar, the IMDb message boards allowed you to discuss any single movie or tv show with others (there was a separate forum for each movie/show). IMDb recently announced they were shutting down the message boards and its users were furious (there's a petition with close to 10k signatures here: https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/...o-keep-the-imd...). I ventured out to create an archive (of all the existing posts) and replacement and hence MovieChat.org was born.
Key Features of MovieChat.org:
1. Any movie/show on IMDB is also on MovieChat.org (over 4 million and counting) - we have separate boards for each movie/show, just like IMDB
2. I backed up most of the posts for IMDB’s top 10,000 movies/shows - most existing conversations on IMDB should also appear on MovieChat.org - we have over 3 million posts already (and I'm working non-stop to back up even more from IMDB)!
Please visit http://MovieChat.org, join or start a discussion, and let me know what you think. If you like it, please spread the word. If there’s anything I can improve, just email me ([email protected]) and I’ll get on it.
Jim [email protected]"

Thanks StyxNyx!
Wow, did I get some bad intel. Thanks StyxNyx. Yeah, I'd say 4 million is slightly more than 10,000. LMAO!
Senor Frickin Braggis, My Sentiments Exactly!!! I literally google searched, "Fuck IMDB" to see if anything like that had been written. lol But that's the only thing that comes to mind when I think of what imdb did. Cruel and heartless.
I did the same thing a few hours ago........as Soon as I found this site. I'll NEVER go back to that site. They punched us ALL in the gut, and didn't even say "Sorry."
Ditto. An Oasis.
I totally agree. TMDB, not user friendly.......at least for me. When I came here today and searched "The Wailing", instantly ALL the imdb 'message board' posts for the past 7 months appeared! Jim (creator of this website) has archived over 10,000 IMDB movies/tv shows message Boards!!!! That's INCREDIBLE!!!! Hip, Hip, Hooray for Jim!!
