Why did IMDB delete it's message boards?

thou shalt not suffer plebs to live.

Not enough users according to them.

Because it's a respectable site with real professionals using it, not some teen fanwank site.

Because of racism

That's absolutely not the reason they gave.

Because they were fucking garbage like every single other message board on the god damn internet.

No need for message boards, when you can post your opinion with your Facebook™ account.

>based on data and traffic

Most fruitful film discussions happen through their facebook page. The message boards became a circlejerk for a few hundred "anonymous" users in a site that has literally hundreds of millions of viewers. The boards were a niche and got terminated. Deal with it.

It's still not the reason the gave, you retard. Even in that image you posted they say that the problem was that it was no longer a "positive, useful experience".

But that's irrelevant anyway. I've read the official FAQ they released shortly after the initial announcement and "not enough users" simply wasn't their stated reason. Fact.

>Fact.
Don't use that word if you have no proof, plebbitor.

So I guess you haven't read that FAQ then. Thanks for bringing nothing to a conversation about a topic you're uninformed on.
