I this board is going to try to recreate IMDb then the order of the boards needs to be switched around.
On IMDB it goes
- Trivia
- Film Talk
- TV Talk
- Genres
- Star Talk
- Music
- Technology
- General boards
But on here it's ordered as
- Trivia
- Movies
- TV
- People
- Music
- General boards
- Genres
- Technology
The Legacy boards should be combined with the main boards because otherwise it's just splitting discussion up further.
For some reason Musicals and Sports films are part of the Movies board instead of the Genre's board.
I think if this gonna have any chance at working then for the most part the boards and the ordering of them should be exactly the same as IMDB. The whole thing needs to be as close to IMDB as possible.

The boards were named and ordered exactly as they are on IMDb for the first week or so. After many requests to clean up the home page a little, I moved some things around while attempting to keep it as IMDb-like as possible. I'm still not quite happy with the layout as is it now, so you may expect some more shuffling someday soon, probably at least a week or two after IMdb shuts down.

It's not exactly a huge deal but it's going to all be about familiarity, small things like the boards being in the same order and the forum having the same colours is more important than most would think.
This board will never actually be IMDB nor have anywhere near the numbers so at the same time cutting some of the less active boards down might be necessary.

I think changing it will be fine. This isn't IMDb. I think here should be different. Why copy a place that shut us out with little warning? Let it be fresh and new here.

But the forum is called IMDB2. This board was made in the attempt to keep the IMDB board community and experience alive. All the members coming here are just from IMDB.
If it doesn't capture the look and feel of the place then it'll just be another movie forum and there's plenty already.
The closer this board is to IMDB the better because that's all people are looking for now.

The closer this board is to IMDB the better because that's all people are looking for now. With very few exceptions, the boards are still set up exactly as they are on IMDb. If it's appearance you're looking for, I think IMCforums (AKA "thegotboard") have done an amazing job at replicating the look of IMDb. I can certainly create an IMDb-esque theme here, but for now I'm more concerned with what's in the box than the box itself.  |

I like how you've been updating stuff as they come up, it's an organic flow.

All I was looking looking for when I joined here, was a place to discuss movies, tv shows, & actors...
I REALLY don't want to be reminded of the original IMDb with an IMDb-esque theme, because of them not caring about us. I would end up feeling like it belongs to the same people, and would I would always wonder when this place would close up shop...
Having a place that looks Fresh & New is a good thing.

That IMC forum does replicate IMDB pretty well. Unfortunately it only has a fraction of the users this one does.
Alternatives are good but too many is gonna split the community up to too much.
