Are there no categories here? how about a board with with just what's the movie or tv show, music video and the like? If it's off topic, then that crap belongs in off topic or misc., hodgepodge, much like this post right here. Don't want to wade through miles of crap, just to get to a movie question/answer. I know this site is new But it's very off putting.

I REALLY REALLY hope we don't have to keep talking about those ASSHOLES at imdb/amazon, I came here to get away from them.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but how do we create subcategories under a thread? For example, I created a thread for Dark Shadows under soaps, but how can that be broken up to discuss different aspects of the show? Or does all the conversation get lumped together?

Damn if I know, I know this site was put together quickly BUT it needs a lot of tweaking.

It needs a staff and it needs to be streamlined. Right now it's not being adequately maintained well enough to keep up with the amount of posters and everything is kind of everywhere. It's a good board but it needs some real organization and management to reach its potential.

The way it works is the admin has to promote one of us to Global Moderator or have Admin privileges. Right now we are just members and we can't shape the forum. It would be nice if the Admin could brief us on what his plan is in terms of choosing moderators. I offered to help but I don't know if they got my message or it never sent. The forum is getting bigger so it will need proper organization.

Otherwise, it's going to reach a point where people spend considerable time searching for topics, and they'll simply lose interest and go elsewhere.

I know this site is new But it's very off putting. There doesn't need to be categories in this section. This section is about identifying a movie or tv show, etc. It's NOT about "post your forum questions here". These people who are asking forum-related questions need post their questions in the part of the forum called "IMDB v2.0 Boards".

That is right, people not posting in the proper place, is a major pain.

Yeah, but let's say I want to discuss The Goldberg's newest episode. Do I just post in the Goldbergs file, mixed in with all the OTHER stuff about the Goldbergs? Or can I create a thread devoted to that episode alone?

Yes, the forum really needs sub-sub-sub-boards within sub-sub-boards within sub-boards within each category.
But, keep in mind there have been thousands (Probably millions) of Movies & TV Shows since the entertainment industry came into existence over a century ago. That is a LOT of information that will need to be created here. It can't be done over night. It will take a long time. Remember the IMDb (v1.0) that we are all used to, has been around for about 20 years.
If this website is only about SIX Days Old, it's doing very well.
Be a little patient, and give it a chance.

Yes, it would be nice to have individual pages for every single film, TV show and actor to ever exist a la IMDB. It would also be impossible to recreate in a reasonable amount of time. In just a few days this has been put together with all the non-specific boards IMDB had and places to discuss films and TV in genre boards which I think has been very well done by whoever set it up. IMDB was a database of information which happened to have message boards on each page, it's huge. This is a forum, a completely different thing, and as such can only replicate parts of the IMDB message boards, it can't replace it altogether. There are other places that could replace the individual title sections such as Rotten Tomatoes. It's not as active as IMDB was but maybe it will be now that we don't have IMDB message boards. Then there are forums like this one which can replace the more general boards. We just have to go to different places is all. As for the questions on this board being random, it's people posting on the wrong board, not a fault of whoever created the boards. I'm sure once people have settled in they'll be posting in the correct boards and this will be kept for film / TV related questions. IMDB didn't have sub-threads in the 'need to know' board and it worked just fine. The same will happen here once its not all new and people know their way around.

When IMDb shuts down, it will force places like these to quickly accommodate the influx of new users. Eventually one will stand out as the best IMDb replacement. So far I like it here. We'll see what happens.

Agree with all the replies so far, it seems ok, for being such a new site.

Give it time. We all found out about this just last week and it actually a minor miracle the site popped up that quickly. Until someone creates the next IMDb, this is probably going to be the way that it is. A lot of "underground" (amateur) fan created pages.

Any members from imdb, who used a different name here, let me know your name from over there, if you like, so I can recognize you.
