>>79598576
Why?

If I was a web developer I'd work on a clone site with a forum section.

Seriously why is IMDB doing this? Too many bad goys in the forum?

>>79599412
Admins say because of trolling and outdated programs. Most likely they just don't want to deal with the headache of running them

Eh, I use to post on IMDB more than here. The board structuring is kind of dated. By the end they were fixing/updating stuff, but i guess it was too late. It is kind of sad the more I think about it though.

And maybe budget reason too. Just think about it, there's a message board for every single movie/ episode damn near ever made...and you have to watch over all that shit.

This is gonna kill them eventually.

Everyone is acting like a site will die without an active forum/comment area but I think we're moving to a post-comment internet. Not everyone needs to know what some basement deweller thinks about a movie. People get caught up in the ability to say whatever they want that they think they're entitled to comment on everything.

It won't be long before Youtube goes full no-comments too.

They were planning on killing the boards ever since the CISbusters movie.

That's my point.

Does IMDB have ads?

Certain pages will generate trailers and such. I'd say that they're probably paid for those.

90%-95% of their traffic stay out of the boards. and they are the ones that give them ad revenue, there is no ad revenue from the boards, because of the difficulty of selling expensive ads there. the founder of imdb talked in detail about this a month before the reveal came of shutting down.

As far as I know, IMDb has never been sued over any of those things before, and I'm fairly certain that would be impossible.

I'm not lying. Awhile ago I visited that page because I heard about the movie on /tv/. I read some of the reviews, and then closed it. Not long after that, probably less than a day, I first heard about them taking down th msg boards. I imediately went back to that page and it was not there, and thee was a message on the page saying so. I think I have that msg saved somewhere. I'll see if I saved that one.

Perhaps I am mistaken, but that's what happened.

Comment sections are getting removed across the entire internet.

Conveniently, the only two commenting platforms that are left standing are Facebook and Google-owned sites, both of which have the means to easily track your posts back to your real, actual, physical person.

I'm genuinely saddened by this. 15 years of my internet history gone just like that. Me and some friends used to make threads and goof around on boards for obscure shows and actors from my irrelevant country and every now and then we would look back at it and have a laugh. Many boards were really comfy and some threads would last for years. Fuck this shit.

>>79606411
Registered in 2005, but I used it for years before that. Haven't used the boards that much though, and only for specific things. Now it's just to maintain my watchlist and look of info on movies.

that was the main man in charge? I saw he was an admin and I replied to him with "how many people who's only social outlet are these boards do you think are going to kill themselves?" just to get under his skin and he didn't post ever again, hope that really bothered him

>>79605320
Well you btfo him. I never doubted you.

>>79603688
I took a picture and uploaded to a thread on this board several days ago. I can't find it on my pc I guess I deleted it later.

Gone, like tears in rain.

>>79606453
The years threads were the coolest.

I also liked how indie film makers would patrol their own boards and give out info and tidbits.

>>79597706
We must welcome then with the song of our people. The memes must flow.

Because we literally use one board until it dies.

>>79606906

Yeah, the guy who played the Soup Nazi used to post on his board. That was pretty cool. Sadly, most of those threads were already gone.

I just hope the boards have been backed up somewhere, somehow.

Its like if you were new or something.

Max Landis used to post on his, pretending to be someone else.

>>79607059

>>79607059
Rob and Glenn from IASIP shitposted on each other's IMDB pages back when Sunny was first on. Those shitposts are now gone forever.

But if IMDB had no upvote system, it might not be a circlejerk.
Maybe bringing them here might be a good idea.

Do the users of IMDb even know about 4chan? I didn't know about 4chan and found out about it from IMDb in 2005

>>79607293

imdb had no choice ugh

I'll legit be pissed if Youtube ever removes comments.

It's like a variable treasure trove of garbage but fuck me if it doesn't make me laugh. Be it the hypocrisy on major videos or just normal little videos with people who honestly are voicing their opinions.

You know the internet is truly dead when you can't even comment on a fucking youtube video anymore.

>>79607347
I was a politics board regular on IMDb and I can tell you that in the last year or so the /pol/ influence grew significantly (and not for the better, further demonstrating that everything /pol/ touches turns to shit). I'm not sure how well known it is on the general movie and actor boards though. I doubt most of them know there is a board for film discussion on 4chan.

>>79600387

What does it matter? Be them popular or not some people, quite obviously due to the complaints, spent time there.

They're fucking message boards. They cost zero dollars for Amazon to maintain. Some people obviously got value out of them. Why the fuck should they be shut down?

>>79607293

>X happens
>don't moderate appropriately
>shut it all down

Yeah, you're right. 4chan is doomed. Hiroshima is going to get rid of this place in due time. Moot got out while the getting was good.

>>79607293
Yes, /pol/ single-handedly ruined the IMDb message boards.

>>79607830
At least IMDb gave a two weeks notice. I could imagine Hiro just shutting it down suddenly. One day we'll sit down at our computers and bring up 4chan and there will simply be nothing there.

I actually feel like a part of me has died, I made my account in 2004, posted thousands of comments, made some good friends and have checked the boards for almost every film I've seen out of interest over the past 13 years.

I legit don't know what to do right now

>>79609720
Then how am I reading all these old TheChamCham posts?

Anyone remember a Moviewizguy? I remember he used to defend the happening and lady in the water all the damn time.

Name one unique feature of IMDb, other than the boards, which are now dead

>protip: you can't

seriously, why would I want to visit the website now? If I want info about the movie/actors/director/whatever, it is all there on wikipedia (more conveniently presented). If I want some dumb trivia, it's on tvtropes. Reviews are all over the internet, RT and Metacritic come to mind.

>>79609760
I actually feel the same. I'm did film history in college, and that board was literally the only place in the internet where people would still talk about old films. I also had an account since 2004, and had over 100 active posts in the forums. I admit that I haven't been there that much lately, but just as you, I do feel that a part of me just died now.

>ywn again get in an argument with some random board regular who accuses you of being their archnemesis' sock puppet because you disagreed with something they posted

Every time I'd see a movie that consisted of the military in some way or another I would check the message boards and sure enough this one particular user would guaranteed to be there, posting. It used to piss me off something fierce. I think he was retired navy and seemed to spend all his time on those boards

It really depended on the film or TV show. It was like completely different userbases depending on where you went.

>>79610214
There were people making upward of 1000 posts per week on those boards (some on a single board alone). For some people posting on IMDb was practically their entire life.

>>79610214
There was a guy who worked on a submarine and he made a bunch of posts on Ice Station Zebra about everything wrong with the submarines shown in the film.

>>79607186
damn, I remember seeing those too.

They should have just closed the boards for the bigger films and TV shows since they were the trash ones, the boards for the smaller productions had much better communities

But where will brendan fraser defend himself now?

>>79610468
Start a new IMDB with boards. It's basically a wikipedia anyway. Take over, profit!
