When you first heard the IMDb boards were shutting down.....

It sucked because that was pretty much the place to talk about movies even though it was overrun by the trolls/spammers especially in high traffic areas.

but here we are a year later and these boards are good enough. still, the official boards were better on some level as every now and then you would have some quality posts from people in the forums on random movies. basically movies that attracted the kids where overrun by spam but ones that had little to some traffic are usually solid. IMDb should have moderated the boards a bit. I wish they would have at least kept the boards open for specific movies even if they closed down the general Film General/Movie Awards and other generic/high traffic areas.
