I'd expect forum regulars are less likely than people who pop in and out to click on advertising, per page view at least. I've been posting on there for the last 12 years and I don't think I've clicked a single ad. I did occasionally click on the links for film adverts, and they usually led to another page within IMDB itself, if I recall. I don't follow IMDB on Facebook or any other social media website, though. I'd expect The people who spend the most time on that site to generate the most clicks. Someone popping in and out to look at an actors resume is not more likelyto click on an ad.

Everyone is jumping to the conclusion that the boards are closing because of trolls. Frankly, I don't think Amazon gives a rat's ass about trolls. If they did, they would have done something about it long ago.
I believe MONEY is behind the closing. If that place was a money maker for them, they'd keep it open. We're all there for FREE, and I don't even see ads, because I use an ad-blocker.
So, what's in it for Amazon to keep that place?

What does it matter if people are spamming the IMDB or if trolls have thrown caution to the four winds and are making their last great reach for notoriety? It'll all be over in FOUR SHORT DAYS.

The idea that the boards have gotten worse so they had to close them is ridiculous. Message boards always have people with attitudes and it's not any worse now then it was in the 90's.

Just like if you go to a doctor and get bad news. You might want a second opinion.
If this site doesn't do good I want a back up.

It all comes down to money. They don't care about the trolls. If they did, there'd be better monitoring. The service is provided for FREE, and they're not making a cent off it. That's the reason for the closing down.

That's the reason for the closing down. Now you're talking sense. I've heard all kinds of nonsense on the boards and people even blaming Trump supporters for this.

Blaming Trump supporters? Or Hillary supporters? Ridiculous. The message boards don't do a thing for them, and they're more than likely just a bother. So, out they go. I've a feeling this was in the works for probably the last six months or so.

If they were smart, they'd find a way to monetize the boards. Put ads off to the side, occasionally push sponsored content, etc. IMDb gets millions of views. They could afford proper mods or at least utilize dedicated volunteers.

HI all, Thanks for this site. I noticed that they seem to be purging threads already, getting a bunch of those "D'oh" (404) pages.
