Dude I miss the old imdb. It was so much fun there and had the best variety of members. Like you said, it was pretty much like the Wild West of the internet. It's a shame that all them didn't migrate here, but I guess it's for the best since the TOS on this site would have shut many of them down. Still it was such a fun place to blow off steam. I miss parts of it. You always had new comers livening things up. Lots of different POV's and very small but vocal troll stables. I know that the trolls weren't the only reason they closed their doors, but it had to contribute. I mean I think I saw Joby with like 15 different handles in the last 2 years of the boards. I don't know how he got back after being banned so quickly. I thought you could only have 1 account per phone number. And you had to have a phone number to verity yourself they texted you a code. Back in the old days you only needed a email to verify but they changed that. I guess he would just borrow another phone to do register. Or IMDB was so lax they never check to see if a phone number was tied to another banned account. You know how much man power they would have to have to Moderate every board they had? Especially with multiple trolls for each fandom, not just comic book movies, all movies and tv shows. The Star Trek vs Star Wars rivalry was pretty good to read. I always just lurked there never posted. And msg board software and system was outdated in 2005 it seemed. Oh yeah I'm sure the trolling played a part in the closing, especially with the doxxing that happened on several boards. Yeah the format for the message boards it's self was dated, but given how it generated for every film it was something that many forgive.

You know looking back at it now, I'm surprised that it took them that long to close the boards.

You know looking back at it now, I'm surprised that it took them that long to close the boards. There had to be a handful of people that really thought the boards were useful. Hell might've been just one person that kept it going that long. I couldn't imagine the shit those people went through on a daily basis to keep it up and running that long. (both headaches from programing/hardware and the constant bickering/trolling/doxxing they had to deal with.)

You know looking back at it now, I'm surprised that it took them that long to close the boards. There used to be an MCU troll on the old IMDb boards with the username billbrown####. Forgot what the 4 numbers after his name were. But he would go ballistic whenever any one wrote anything negative about MCU. One time someone wrote a post saying that Scarlet Johannson is over-rated and isn't hot. I replied to that post and agreed that Scarlet Johannson isn't hot. billbrown got so pissed at me for saying that Scarlet Johannson isn't hot, he started following me around the many different boards that I posted on IMDb and replying to all my posts with vicious personal attacks, even on posts that had nothing at all to do with MCU or CBMs. In June 2014, I went on vacation to Europe and didn't have Internet access so I couldn't post anything for a couple of weeks. billbrown posted on all the boards that I regularly posted on and asked where I was and why I wasn't posting anymore. 1 of the boards where I post the majority of my posts was the Sports board. When billbrown kept replying to my posts on the Sports board with vicious personal attacks, several regulars on the Sports board asked him to stop spamming the board and leave, but he refused and continued to post his vicious personal attacks against me. On the day that IMDb closed down its boards, he sent me a PM about a hour before the boards were scheduled to be closed and cursed at me with more vicious personal attacks and said that he was going to miss attacking me more after the boards shut down.

We all know that stupid story by heart at this point.

Since for some stupid reason you couldn’t have a username with ’ in it on IMDb, my username was NoseofNicko.

Also I thought it was Oldmclane but you are right it was Oldboymclane. I recognize all of these though. Some more infamous than others.
