OK I know it may be too much but do you ever see this site getting to the point of individual Movie or TV show boards? I mean if I want to discuss "Booty Call" for some reason I can go to a specific board for that movie?

Please remember this discussion forum is only two weeks old, and at the original IMDb boards it took nearly 20 years to get every tv show, every movie, and every actor, actress, director... ETC. listed there.
It will take time for this new site to become a lot like the old one.
I think it is off to a great start.

This forum was designed as a refuge for the displaced members and communities of the general message boards on IMDb. At best, we can have boards for some of the more popular shows, franchises, and series, but having specific boards for each and every movie, TV show, and celebrity is way beyond the scope of this site. |

There are hundreds of thousands of movies (millions?). Who exactly would be creating each of those boards? I'm so sick of this fucking question. I should probably make a FAQ someday. In the meantime, I don't mind responding to repeated questions if someone else doesn't get to them first.  |

The Major studio movie releases for the summer are obvious choices and the most popular shows currently on Television.
The only way to serve weekly movie releases and review them and talk about them all-
Is to have a Weekly Movie release thread for each month.
Or just say ^&)&_*)((_(_ it and let the user create the boards and if they become popular-
So be it.
I am sure that the Administer only has so much time to devote to these boards and the Members should fill in the voids with thread postings on the appropriate Boards.
Otherwise the discussion should be closed.

Unfortunately I highly doubt that ProBoards has the capacity to host the required number of boards for every movie/tv show/actress that IMDB has listed. I have no idea if ProBoards offers an API to add boards, if there was no limit on the number of boards that could be added, you could simply create a script which goes through IMDB's master list and creates the boards automatically. I suspect that ProBoards either have a board limit or would shut down the site before that could be completed though... One of my old hard drives has a slightly out of date copy of IMDB's master list (all movies/actors/actresses/tv show episodes). There's a link on IMDB that allows you to download it, or at least there used to be... It's a huge compressed csv/rtf/txt file IIRC... I'm very happy that I have a place to go talk with movie fans anyway now that IMDB is closing. Thanks for building/maintaining this place Admin (and any others). |

Make us one and let's try it out. www.proboards.com/developer/js |
