IMDB Shutting Down Discussion Boards Because Too Many People

>>79068562
Pussies.

Not like it added anything important to the site

It's weird how many sites have had comment sections for 15, 20 years but are suddenly deciding it's time to close them down.

I've never been to the general boards on imdb but they can't be any worse then /tv/.

There's already a thread on this why did you feel the need to make another?

>>79068694
Anonymous comments under propaganda articles are always fun since the comments are often more interesting than the articles in question. That's what they're afraid of I guess.

>>79068756
Not like there aren't a billion other places on the internet for discussion. Sites like IMDB have a reputation to uphold and keep advertisers, it much cost them a ton in moderation to keep all the trolls out.

>>79068756
The first step was when Google disabled the message board search feature

>>79068641
Actually a shit ton will be lost because of sjw lgbt PC cucked degenerate libshits.

Who cares? Those forums were shit anyway.

This is the same forum that bans everyone for the smallest things.

>>79068694
it's for the best. i don't care for news comments though, 'cause i never use them.
also, i thought imdb was going to use outside providers for comments, since they were doing a trial run for some of the boards. guess they decided against that.

>>79068815
It's the fucking watch this movie for free bots that fucked it up. They should have put a shitty captcha thing up.

>>79068796
kek, I usually stop reading halfway through the article and go for the comments calling out the bullshit.

Sometimes you need them.

The Atlantic published an article on abortion recently, and after the comments pointed out a few errors they had to append this at the end.

They barely gave a shit about them. It was so difficult to navigate them.

But I found so relevant info in some besides the i wanna fugg grill x or y. So it's a shame, but not too mad about it.

>>79068836

>>79068694
the average article nowadays is just horrible written propaganda or political motivated opinion pieces which use easily to disprove lies

I guess the are shutting down comments sections so that people can no longer call them out and show that they lied

>>79068694

What's ChamCham gonna do?

i'm pretty saddened by this. sure , 90% of the threads is "worst movie ever" , "this movie is racist" etc, but especially for more obscure movies or foreign movies, there are often very insightful discussions about hidden symbolism or meanings or tips for other movies that i am often too dumb to grasp myself.

No reason to go to IMDB anymore. For me it was BOM for info and IMDB to comment.

>>79068694
So you can't call out when they obviously lie anymore

It was weird that multiple outlets did it around the same time though

You tried doing that here on /tv/ or plebbit and nobody is gonna reply, specially if it's an obscure movie.
On IMDb there's people that will care, eventually. Even if it takes them months or years to reply to your posts.

>>79068562
Damn, I'll miss looking at the page for some obscure movie from 20 years ago and there's like a total of two comments about something super specific in the movie. It was interesting to connect with someone else in the world who liked the same unpopular movie as you and maybe had the same weird thoughts about it.

Outside of catching the occasional random post about an old movie on /tv/ before it dies in an hour, there's really nothing similar on the internet. It's just endless discussion of the same 25 movies.

The chumps at the top have been worrying for generations about publicity concerns compounded by the cost incurred to police communal discussion areas.

Microsoft operated a global hub of live irc style chatrooms until the early 2000s when they began to phase them out. Too many stories about children being preyed upon or angry parents contacting Microsoft and the media with stories about the horrible filth their children had been exposed to on the website of such a major organisation.

But it's definitely becoming more commonplace in the new era of the web, but it's also true that there are more websites and communities than ever before online. As much as has fallen, much much more has been added. We have VPN stacks, multiple stage encryption, onion, blockchains, Wi-Fi and smartphones now. Technology will continue to empower both individuals AND governments and institutions.

They can't stop us, and believe me, they ARE trying.

why do many people like this movie? i just don't get it?

it wasn't even scary?

>>79069304
Exactly. Seeing people's random comments, hell, even checking out the obvious shills from people who made the movie, was what made the site great.

>>79069229

that's a good one

>>79069304
Oy vey, you're saying you want to find out more information from individuals that have not peer-reviewed and fact-checked their claims? That could be fake news you're reading, goyim! Only an ignorant alt-right nazi would complain of not being able to read potential lies!

You should read the reviews at rotten tomatoes from experts, and make sure you only watch recent movies or the ones in our catalogs. Don't stray too far from our prescribed films goy, you don't want to look like a social outcast, do you?

>>79069151
Yep, and absolutely nothing will ever be able to replace that

it's a shit decision made with millennial cunts in mind, the sort of people who are only interested in rating a movie or posting an inane emoji and not actually discussing it. see: letterboxd

Nobody is using any of that bullshit. The "powers that be" don't give a shit what 10 neckbeards are circlejerking about on a BBS, they're achieving their goal to make sure the multitudes never hear a single word about it.

This isn't true at all. Literally everything is being centralised to garbage social media sites where you actually can't have proper discussions. How can you not see this? It's what IMDB have done, it's why comments sections on pratically every major newspaper and blog have disappeared. Things are getting worse and worse.

Why do you think IG, snapchat and twitter are so popular now? They are so fucking inane and boring. Literally the most spurious tweets or pictures that convey nothing, and yet they are more popular than ever. Traditional forums have all but died out. How can you not see this as a problem?

This. Controlling the the flow of information and forming the narrative in one-way communication to the masses is what has kept the elites in power. The Internet is a threat to that which is why they are doing everything in their power to control it. This is why you can have literal child porn on twitter but you get instabanned if you criticize immigration.

>>79068562
It was the only thing I used IMDB for. After each movie I go to the forums to see what the people has to say about it. Kind of sucks, but I guess I can live fine without it.

Comment sections are a form of keeping writers in check -- even IF there is trolling, there are also constructive comments.

Removing comments is just a means of only allowing one voice to be presented.

it has always been the voice of one person. if you want to check a fact, look it up. you have the power at your fingertips.

So millennials are so desperate to convince us we are in a SHARING economy, to use SOCIAL digit platforms, and yet simultaneously they take away message boards and comments sections which are used to make those interactions. Why are they so desperate to turn every bit of interaction into a fucking emoji?

Damn shame, thanks to the imdb message board I found this wonderful den of faggots here.

I remember people where posting creepy pastas on the Blair Witch Project board and then linked to /x/ for more stuff.

I'm pretty sad that they close that shit down. Some lesser know actors sometimes posted on there as well.

I think it died out but a few years ago the comments section of Passio of the Christ had a dedicated group of atheists and Jesus-freaks who argued on there and they had meetups and actually spent time with each other. Some of them even coupled up and probably got married. It was the weirdest corner of the internet I've ever seen.

>>79069524
>>Why is this happening?
What do you think capitalism is?

For it (embodied in large corporations) to expand, it must eat EVERYTHING (including small corporations and individuals), and when it eats everything, it must eat the commons and find new ways to privatize previously public goods, services, including culture, communications, public space, people's thoughts, feelings, etc.

Didn't something look suspicious to you when you realized that you can't even just "go outside" without stepping in someone else's private space with an entry fee consisting of either money or rules you must follow while being there, and "meet people" without going through some kind of a privatized corporate entity that usurped normal communication? That's not even mentioning culture or ideology, both of which have been stolen from the people, repackaged, and sold back to them in such a way that they must be glad for the privilege of having it... or else.

Congratulations, you just discovered how internet worked in the 20th century. Don't you think it was actually pretty neat, and shouldn't have been killed off?

>Increasingly, IMDb customers have migrated to IMDb's social media accounts as the primary place they choose to post comments and communicate with IMDb's editors and one another. IMDb's Facebook page and official Twitter account have an audience of more than 10 million engaged fans. IMDb also maintains official accounts on Snapchat, Pinterest, YouTube, and Tumblr.

So that's it. They want to take a place for serious and in depth discussion of film and replace it with social media comments. And the dumbing down of social discourse continues.

actual, real internet discussion happened in the golden era of bulletin boards. shit was free too. now you cant find a fucking movie sample or a damn hi res texture without a jew site asking mooney for it. all of that was free before, and it was put up by generous people. now its always corporations trying to suck you out of money.

I have no idea why the shitty IMDB boards shutting down feels like the end of the internet but it just does. Its like the entire BBS/Usenet/Message Board culture is dead pretty much with 4chan being the only thing close to it but /tv/ is FAAAAR worse than IMDB.

I just wish I could go back in time to the 80s and relive my life over and over until I die, be a doctor, be a lawyer, be a scientist, archaeologist, I really don't care about the future, its going to suck unless they somehow kick up VR somehow and make it cool, for a few years that will be amazing.

What does this even mean? Where on "social media" can you discuss or observe discussions about obscure movies? You simply can't. It's all going to be lost with IMDB forums. There literally is no substitute for them, which is why it's such a shame and retarded 15 year old redditors like >>79071117 are missing the point

as someone else in the thread said, it seems like everything good on the internet ends up dying

/tv/ sucks for discussion

imdb actually was the best discussion forum

The article "Why IMDB Got a Captcha" is a pretty hilarious recap of the GNAA shenanigans way back when. The whole "troll kingpin" nonsense back around 2005?" (one really really bored dude from India) also was the reason behind the adjustable post cooldown timers.

So are there any other decent places to discuss movies outside the mainstream? I know of the Criterion forums, but I've never actually posted there so I'm not sure if it's any good. Any other alternatives?

Forums don't really exist anymore. IRC is dead as fuck. Hiroshima will disable non paying users soon enough. It's all dying and it's all fucked.

Youtube will eventually make comments disabled by default, it's already going that way. Twitter will be the last bastion of free online speech, only because they are too retarded to figure out how to police it.

Oh I agree. And it is funny they are doing this now. It was much more fucked up over there 11-12 years ago when it was nearly impossible to get banned.

That just means it's going away soon. OKCupid had a forum as one of the main features while it was still a personality test site, and then first they relegated it to a small link on the bottom, then they removed the link but left the forum if you knew the URL, then they removed the forum (after 3-4 years of it being in limbo like that).

And it slowly morphed from a personality test site where you could find people with similar interests and read and comment on their ridiculously long and detailed profiles, to a barebones dating site with short profiles and emphasis on pictures, to a literal Tinder clone cell phone app.

>>79071995

The best low traffic boards were for small shitty movies where the actual creators would show up and argue with people who were calling it a piece of shit.

This is a good example, the first thing that dies when a site like that goes down is the actual culture-related stuff - the stuff that's out of print, you can't get it anywhere else, fan-made stuff, stuff that was the result of years of autistic research or collection, and so on.

There used to be this faggot that posted there all the time who always shit on the new BSG and said the old one (1979) was superior, always thought it was hilarious.

Nah chans are simple to make and there the better known preexisting ones could handle some overflow. (except for 7 which will pull the usual and just shut down until it blows over). Then more and more would pop up.

anyone tried this? I'm not registered so I can't see how bad it is

>>79072803
>Never said this either
Then we agree that it always turns to bigger and bigger shit and should be avoided, why are you trying to find points to autistically argue if we're in general agreement?

This got me thinking about what the fuck will actually happen if 4chan goes down.
I know we all love to shit on this site and its userbase, but, and I'm not really exaggerating here, it would feel like most of the internet had died.

>>79072841
>implying anyone wants to go to other chans where the autist admin or even admin of each individual board throws a tantrum every few days and bans people and topics he deosnt like

>>79072827
>no arguments
>time to engage in shitposting

Not my fault you can't read. I didn't say anything of what you've implied, I stated the most obvious thing ever to anyone who isn't computer illiterate: communities die, people move on.

>>79072857
You tell me, you're the one bringing this into the discussion.

>>79068562
ChamCham gonna be pissed.

>>79072876

I wonder how many people would kill themselves, probably thousands right after

>>79072915
I think that's taking it a bit far, I'd limit it to 10 autists.

>>79072886

People would though. They always do. Regroup, cry, freak out, get drunk and things work out somehow. Just like during the ChanPacilypse.

>>79072792
social media without the social part

>web 2.0 was a bad idea

>>79072892
>I stated the most obvious thing ever to anyone who isn't computer illiterate: communities die, people move on.
This is literally saying "things happen", what's the point of doing it?

Normal forums just have a general thread for a movie, rather than being able to make threads about different subjects, so most of the posts get buried.

>>79072941

this just sounds like your coping mechanism, no one uses any message board anymore, they use facebook groups, no one uses any chat service anymore, they use facebook chat, its fucked m8

Thank god that place was fuckin cancer at the highest level. You get called troll just for having a different opinion than the hive mind. fuck that place.

>>79073006

Nah I have been around long enough to have seen 4chan go down many times. People are much more interconnected now than back then. 4chan going down permanently would result in the users figuring something else out.

>>79072615
>being this entitled

Honestly, how much longer can 4chan last?

I've been here over 12 years of my life, almost every single day of those 12 years. Where the fuck do we go if 4chan shuts down eventually?

>>79069475
They're prolly counting Tumblr and Flickr as Yahoo

>>79073140
>Where the fuck do we go if 4chan shuts down eventually?

Reddit. I really don't get why 4chan hates reddit so much on the face of it its' really not that bad. IMDB is much worse.

The quality and content of "news" has changed completely.

It's just opinion now, and politicized opinion at that. Countless times I used to scroll to the comment section where some autist would point out how the author got facts wrong or misrepresented the case somehow.

Since "news" is just opinion, they don't want to provide a forum where people can easily disprove their bullshit right below where they speak with an air of professionalism and authority. It'd be like having a dedicated space for your own hecklers.

So they shut it down.

There's no mystery to this other than how long they think they can stretch the authority and impact journalism used to have 20 years ago.

>>79073140
Nowhere. I remember when 4chan bans meant you couldn't even read the site at all.

There is nowhere else like here.

>implying I don't already post on Reddit too
There's no replacement for the haven of contrarian shitposting that is /tv/ though, as shit as /tv/ is at times I still like posting here with anonymity so I can voice my shitty opinions with ease.

Honestly, I use Reddit a lot for tv-show specific subreddits, where there's actual discussion. For example, The Americans has really slow / short threads on this board, but there's a lot more active discussion on the Americans subreddit than here. The mainstream subreddits, like r/politics, r/pics, r/gaming, r/movies, etc. Once you unsubscribe from all the shitty subreddits and only subscribe to smaller communities, the overall quality of the site improves drastically.

>>79073264
>so many accidental bans from just typing AT

shit I still don't type it

>>79073310

Is Boxxy still a b&?

Test.

Also I just realized I can barely remember any of the old word filters.

>>79073074

4chan hasn't ever gone down on purpose and the vast vast majority of the userbase aren't all friends on steam or whatever, but have fun on eight chan with 12 other people and getting banned for saying you dont like the admins favorite anime though

>>79073297
>subscribe
>unsubscribe

reading r/whatever looks cancer with its special snowflake subreddit terminology though

>>79068694
It was only a matter of time. Internet is too normie now so any fuckhead will post his stupid thoughts in the open and offend other fuckheads.

>>79073385

Well again different viewpoints. The chans have always had a core to them and even though they have a tidal action and pieces break off and others come to adhere and replace.

The core itself remains. But I can see why you wouldn't know that.

This is true.
I wonder when, if ever, the "next thing" will appear, something to replace this site.

>>79072615
More like media outlets don't like information that isn't top-down and controlled by them. I don't even blame them.

>tfw you went to more obscure movie's boards and the director would be on there arguing with teenagers calling his movie shit and even on more obscure actresses boards they would be on there talking to thirsty waifuists

I remember getting a reply from Ellen Muth on her board, RIP

You know I'm pretty sure this just going to end up fueling other message boards that IMDb can't actually mod like whatever subreddits discuss movies. It doesn't treat the "problem", just displaces it.
But I guess it means at least it's not their problem anymore, no need to mod or to listen to everyone's whining.

POST LINK NOW


>>79073770
It really won't. Don't you know what reddit is? It's just a SJW circlejerk, every board is like Atheism+, you get Movies+, Games+, Communism+, etc.

>>79072763
When Napster died.

>>79073800
Yeah nah, I don't regularly use Reddit for a variety of reasons but it's not politically monolithic by any means.
See r/thedonald or r/mra or whatever it is.

What the fuck is happening

>>79073371
nigger to roody poo and faggot to candy ass was the golden age. i saw a full boxxy thread the other day so i don;t think and theres no real reason for it to be either since few current users remember her.

>>79071186
*teleports behind you*

>>79074053
I started browsing 4chan shortly after the whole Boxxy thing exploded. I still feel like a newfag but it's been so fucking long.

>>79073831
How was anything else an improvement? I still have mp3s from obscure bands or people making them at home, that I've never seen on the internet since. They literally don't exist anywhere else.

>>79073941
It's a handful of containment subs and when you post on them you get banned from the rest of the site.

>>79074111
I heard you man, when you think of the dates and realize you've been here for a decade it's a strange feeling.

>>79074111
I came around the same time, 4chan had just gotten a lot of publicity from chanology (although I personally came through m00t's TED talk) so a lot of middle-agefags are from that era.

>>79074114
That's just because they're obscure, little to do with the platform itself, and it allowed torrent culture to grow.

>you get banned from the rest of the site
What? That seems retarded.
