Why did they shut down the forums?

I can't think of any other reason than big studios paying IMDB lot's of cash.
>>
because we are living in le era of Daddy Drumpf and people can't handle the troof
>>
It annoys me so much, why do the big studios hate us so much..
>>
now all the goy have to praise the latest blockbuster is reddit facebook and twitter.

IMDb is owned by Amazon and when Bezos found out they needed actual human beings to run the forums and he couldn't replace them all with robots they just destroyed the whole place.

Could you fuckers stop crying please about this irrelevant shit

I will not allow this buffoonery. OUT!

oy vey we're working on a new system, soon you'll be able to login with your facebookTM account, so your opinions will be directly linked to your real life identity.

Isn't that great goy?

90% of the userbase was retarded but the more obscure and older films had some very nice discussions.
>>
>>79675111
There was a mysterious man constantly posting on every message board about South Korean racism and other assorted problems of South Korean society. He was the final straw.

Also, the general race war environment that almost every show or movie engendered on there, for example, isn't Aladdin racist?
>>
>tfw at least 25% of those absolute retards will come here to post now

It's a fuckin bug hunt, man.
>>
>>79677063
I actually saw that on "The Interview" board. I assumed it was a North Korean shill or something considering he mocked the film and called South Koreans and Americans as all racists.

Any of you ever come across a dude called Alien Deification?

litterally the only reason I went on IMDb

Why does /pol/ have to ruin everything decent with their autistic screeching?

>litterally the only reason I went on IMDb


The only reason everyone went to IMDB.
>>
>>79675111
Because a bunch of underage faggots like the one's on the website went there and started talking about everything but the films itself. Contrarians like the faggots here on /tv/ with low IQ and no intelligent arguments made discussion over there impossible. IMDB used to be better than any board on the internet for movies. But that was before half you millennial faggots were given internet access.
>>
>>79677337
Then maybe they should think about making something worth paying for
>>
>>79677204
same.
>>
>>79678676
normally I'd argue this mentality, but in the case of Hollywood it is literally true. Last movie I payed for was Arrival. Before that...Creed?

>>79675111

Where is Brandon Frasier going to spend his time now?

Nick Cage was great in this

Complete bullshit. Don't kid yourself. A very small, not to say tiny, fraction of users even visited the message boards. People go there for film information, and they'll continue to do so. Millions of users. The ones who care, me included, may stop using it altogether, but I don't think it'll make any difference, as much as I hope otherwise, it probably won't even make a dent in their usercount.

>>79677743
If you genuinely believe that's why they shut down thousands upon thousands of messageboards for nearly every film and tv show, actor, director, fucking crew member that ever existed - you're not only naive, you might actually be retarded.
>>
>>79675111
>>79675111
because the forums were a cancer literally worse than this shithole.

>>79678942
Holywood elite are on the run. We've routed them out of their holes and Trump is leading the charge. They had to shut down speech to mitigate damage.
>>
hiro took the pass money and paid IMDb to shut down their boards in the hope their posters would come to 4chan, improve the quality, and buy passes
>>
>>79678957
You all must have been going to the capeshit boards.

>>79678992
And now Amazon has realized their mistake and killed 4chan's image servers. IT'S WAR

>imdb shts down their message boards
>4chan shuts down their image boards
>>
>>79679024
difference being, 4chan doesn't have anything other than image boards?
>>
>>79678994
you and the other retards defending the cancer that was (feels great saying was) the imdb boards are full of shit.

EVERY movie had the trolls, the baiters, the faggots.

the last ever movie board i went on was manchester by the sea. want to know what was there? why of course the typical "worst movie ever made" and "I fell asleep" shitposts. also this one faggot who hated it for whatever reason, and called everyone a child raping pedophile.

yeah. fuck imdb message boards. glad its dead

"because of trolls"

but really it's probably because of money. simple as that. it cost money to host and they knew by closing the forums it wouldn't lose clicks because those very same faggots who used them are still going to use the main site regardless if it's closed or not. it's basically them cutting the fat.

and no point in monetizing it because it's an outdated piece of shit forum and everyone uses adblock anyway. the amount of money and effort to update it just isn't worth it.

right or wrong you know their reason is bullshit because they don't do paid moderators. they do what every other fucking message board does (4chan, reddit, valve, etc) and get losers who spend hours upon hours on the site willing to do it for free. and besides, the amount of spam and trolling should have next to no affect on the main site because the forums are tucked away and hidden from everyday users.

so money or passive aggression from the faggot ceo getting butthurt over political comments
>>
>>79679071
god i wish they would just accept it every time we erase a place of discussion

it would make this transition much easier
>>
>>79675111

Most likely because of SJW bullshit. I never posted on the forums, beat frequently read them if I saw a movie I liked.

In the last few years the forums turned into a fucking shitpool of oppression olympics. Whenever there were blacks or other races besides whites in the movie there were posts about raycis and if there were only whites in the movie the entire forum section of that movie got raided by tumblrinas yelling oppression.

Go read HuffPo, Vice or Salon for your daily dose of IMDB forums.
>>
>>79677743

Why are you so mad?
>>
the two biggest boards on the site were politics and anything goes/off-topic by a huge margin

stop trying to pretend like the forums ever provided anything of value
>>
Where can I go for movie forums now friends?
>>
>>79677337
Netflix YouTube and Amazon Video are more profitable than ever.
>>
Anyone else thinking about the fact that when the current threads die, 4chan will be temporarily gone?
>>
>>79675111
>I can't think of any other reason than big studios paying IMDB lot's of cash.

1.) Anonymous message boards are a dead medium

2.) Too much cost
>>
>>79679187
>anonymous message boards are a dead medium

This is dangerous and the left is using this as a tactic. We literally need anonymous communities.

The fucking kikes are onto us lads. IMDb was getting pretty based, lots of anti-degeneracy threads. We're next.

yea desu after I told her what IMDB stood for she just kind of weirdly ignored me and waited to hand me the ticket

>is a shitposter

it's almost like you have to wade through the shit to find good discussion. it's no different than this shithole

also what in the fuck did you expect going into popular movie discussion?
>>
>>79679195
You can cry about the left all you want. Kids don't use anonymous media anymore. Take it up with them, don't force companies to maintain dead forums because of "muh freedom of speech"
>>
>>79679257
>Kids don't use anonymous media anymore.
Yeah sure imdbIDF
>>
>>79679245
Are you the leaf on /pol/? Are you spamming every board?
>>
>>79679268
They don't. There's a reason every major message board and chat is dying out
>>
>>79679278
dude 4chan is being silenced due to it's far-right ideologies. Wake the fuck up.
>>
>>79679257
>Kids don't use anonymous media anymore
erm...
>>
>>79679071

Here's that quality discussion you were hoping for! >>79675616
>>
>>79679257
I don't think it's because kids aren't using anonymous media anymore it's because places can't control a narrative when people can comment on it.

>left wing video on youtube
>comments disabled
>so everyone dislikes it
>ratings disabled

I've seen lots of news sites shutting down their comment sections.
They want to control the narrative and shut down dissenting opinions.

In the case of IMDB I think it's big movie corporations shutting shit down.
Some people might go to a prescreening and let people ask them questions on the forum or people might go see it and bad mouth the movie. You could ask them questions and they could respond blah blah blah. With reviews its just a one way street so there is no dialogue so you don't know anything about the cunt writing it and you can't ask questions.
>>
>>79679289
nobody is being silenced you autist. you can say whatever the fuck you want as long as they don't break board or website rules.
>>
sites should just start requiring an ssn, driver's license number, or some other type of national identification number to verify and associate with the account being registered, in addition to an address and phone number that also get sent verifcation requests.

not that difficult
