Hi. I'm a refugee too. This message board seems like the best fit for me. I'm interested primarily in older films, not discussing the Chinese box office take of the latest "Transformers" travesty.

Welcome aboard, Freddy. It's heartening to see an old name from the IMDB. I hope that people keep or only lightly modify their screen names when they come here. If it's someone I know, I like to know who that someone is when I'm talking to them, if you catch my drift...

I also am a refugee from the IMDb message boards. I'll have to try this site out and see what it's like.
IMDb as a whole has turned 100% corporate. Just look at the home page: Everything on it is shilling for some new movie/TV show. All they seem to care about is how much money each new movie/show has made.
When I first joined IMDb in January 2003 it was an old school, dedicated movie and television site which catered to it's member's needs. Now it's all about money and brand names and franchises. That's part of the reason why they can't be bothered with message boards any more. Too many people speaking up with their own honest opinions - opinions which the mega-media conglomerates don't like. In a way, I'm surprised IMDb allowed the message boards to survive as long as they did. I hope this place can serve the same purpose as the original IMDb message boards used to.

Hey Freddy, we had some conversations now and then on the IMDb silent boards. So yeah, I'll give this new board platform a try. Although slightly hidden, they have a Silent board here as well, so maybe see you there sometime too. |

You've always been one of the most interesting and informative CFB posters, even if I didn't always agree with your conclusions. I look forward to your contributiions here. |

Hello all! Familiar names - good. Unfamiliar names - taking my time. Pleased with the way they dealt with the troll attack. I will really feel at home if we can figure out how to have a Garth game .

I used an account called Omnislash and practically spammed boards trying to spread awareness of this board. It worked to an extent because plenty were saying they'd signed up in the threads.
We've got a good amount of people it's just that now IMDB is gone isn't it gonna be hard to get new users in the long run? There will be a surge right now but in like a week whose gonna know about this who didn't before?

Hi everybody I am an IMDb reugee also.
My name over at IMDb was the same as this one. Sure hate having to give up my original account after 17 years.
I already see some names from Classic Film and I hope to see more.

I've been signed up here for over a week, but was waiting for the IMDb board to officially close to move over here. I was registered there 17 years and was a regular poster for 13. I guess old habits die hard.  |

While I rarely posted in Classic film in recent years it's still nice to see some longtime posters from my early years still around and finding themselves here.

Hey, Freddy, telegonus, and spiderwort!
Good to see some familiar names here. 
Same, Gub. I got home not too long ago, went on-line figuring I'd catch the final hours/minutes of the IMDB message boards. Gone. Maybe it's just as well. It was getting depressing, though I'm really going to miss not so much the CFB, which we sort of have here, truncated but with a lot of the same people, but the boards for films, stars, directors and the like, and classic TV, too. I'm so glad I download my favorite thread on the Route 66 board. Great stuff. |
