Unfortunately, we have local stations running MeTV, COMET, ThisTV, etc. etc. and sometimes I need to find out who some of the obscure actors are. Is there another place that you can see a full list of the actors, because I'll surely switch. This is exactly why I'm keeping my account. I've yet to find a better place to look up actors on a tv series and in a certain episode. |

I've just joined from IMDB. I've been watching this forum grow for a week or so and I'm hoping some individual movie threads will get started i'll be able to easily find because that is the only thing i used on the IMDB boards. I'll be keeping my IMDB account to rate films and keep track of what i've bought and watched. Sjg, I use an app called iShows Tv to keep up with episodes I watch. It's an app for iPhone but it may be available for other types of phones. It's great if you stream a lot of shows and don't just binge watch a whole series. |

Thanks for the heads up, i'm only watching films at the moment, i have so many to watch that TV series have taken a back seat but when i get round to them i'll give this a look. |

Creed board troll! You've arrived how lovely! Let me take your coat. Your not quite trolling are you? More dirty trolling. So how's the cheesy dirt bike scene in Creed? You're still seeing her aren't you? That's a wonderful post, Times Up! Don't tell, let me guess...AP Couture? |

I haven't deleted my account. Like some others, I hope they'll come to their senses and bring back the boards. Maybe just fooling myself, but we'll see.

I hope they come to their senses too, but seems unlikely at this point. Unless their traffic nosedives in the following weeks or contributions dry up drastically. I think people should take the fight to get(no)satisfaction and complain there, although it might just boost their membership figures. I haven't deleted my account, As much as I would like to as a protest. It would seem like cutting my nose off to spite my face. I've got an 8000+ vote history and been a regular updater for over 5 years. So it's hard to just throw it all away. I did/do use a number other parts of the site on a regular basis. I am attempting to boycott the site at the moment, so staying away to see what happens. According to Alexa IMDb traffic has shot up in the last month. It'll be interesting to see what happens in the month following the boards closure.

I didn't delete my account, but I signed out of it for the first time in years and I changed my browser homepage from the imdb.com I Need to Know board to my Imdb2.freeforums.net account page. I also haven't been to, or even had any need to use, IMDb since the message boards went down Sunday evening Eastern time. The only reason I even created an account all those years ago was so I could post on the boards. Until until they created the boards I used IMDb to look up info, but I did that without needing an account.
My account was 17 years old, I didn't deleted for the same reason others haven't. Hoping that they may bring the boards back someday and also because of all the ratings and lists I've accumulated over the years. I probably won't be using IMDb much (if at all) from now on, but I didn't want to delete the account.
I definitely will never contribute or edit any data on any pages after what they did by deleting the boards.

I always knew it was purely a business move, a dick move, and a calculated move. It's rare to have discussion boards such as these run by people who genuinely care about the members. I get it, everything boils down to the bottom line, and it erodes my faith in humanity.
Deleting the boards, and doing it the way did, was completely inexcusable.

Haven't deleted my account but when I need to look up information that I would have previously gone to IMDB for I go somewhere else.
I removed it from my bookmarks on my phone.

I'm going to keep my account, just to see what happens. However, like a lot of you I don't really trust IMDB anymore.

I think what rickstlouis meant was that he didn't want to delete his account or not use IMDb as a protest to the board closure because the older shows that those networks run IMDb is the most complete place to find the names of the actors. rickstlouis was asking if there was some place else that would be as good at finding the older listings of actors instead, so that IMDb didn't have to be used. |

But rickstlouis was asking if there was some place else that would be as good at finding the older listings of actors instead, so that IMDb didn't have to be used. I find tv.com, tvguide.com, and wikipedia to be good resources. But absolutely not as familiar and complete as what IMDb has built. I'm getting more familiar with those though since I blocked IMDb. BTW, when I read your post, I can't help but hear it my head with John Lennon's voice. That's kinda cool. Hopefully nobody uses Andy Devine as their avatar. |
