This page seems like a ghost town! What happened here? It seems like some great posters from the old “official” IMDB page found their way here, but it’s just a handful of us. Is there a better place? I tried the Daytime Royalty page, but it doesn’t have topics outside of the daily show discussions and spoilers. I miss the old IMDB days.

I'm not sure anyone's found a better discussion board per se - from what I've seen with other boards here and the old IMDB regulars that migrated over, the fallout from closing the IMDB boards is that we're scattered across the entire internet now. There hasn't really been one single site that the majority of past IMDB users could agree on; everyone found a niche board they preferred for one reason or another. The was even one I frequented early on after the... exedus... that was built using this same message board platform and made to look quite a bit like IMDB; and they even called it something like the Internet Movie Discussion board or some such thing. But then after a couple of months, without warning, the entire forum was just gone; apparently deleted by the one person who set it all up who felt burned out or something and decided to just pull the plug on their entire online presence. And a lot of us here, on the Days board, had been going there initially; because I know between here and that board, before IMDB closed the boards we were trying to coordinate where to migrate to and there was a concerted effort to get both forums to create a dedicated board for Days. I forget if it was this forum or the other one that was rather restrictive who joined; because there was a point where they stopped letting people create new accounts. I think that might have been the one closed abruptly.
A contributing factor in why this board isn't more active is because of the writing. I haven't watched in over a year; it's just gotten so bad. I'll come on here to try and keep up, and leafs does her best to post spoilers, but I don't think she watches as frequently as she used to either. I see clips on Facebook often - their marketing for the show is abysmal; they're constantly spoiling crap through pictures and video or just flat out spelling it out in their posts; if I actually gave a damn about what was going on or if I were actually watching I'd probably get a little pissed off about that. There have been times I assumed a certain development already happened because they were posting about it on the Days Facebook page; only to find out that what they posted about wouldn't air until later that week or the next.
But I think that's only part of it, some of the other boards on here aren't as active either. The Arrow board gets to be pretty dead too, even when the Arrowverse shows aren't on hiatus. Of course some of that is the bad writing for those shows. I never thought I'd see a show, much less four shows, with writing that would rival Days for bad writing; and certainly never would have expected it to be either Arrow or The Flash when either of those shows started. When new episodes air I've taken to writing up reviews on that board while I watch the episode, in effort to both vent and try and spark discussion.

I stopped posting the spoilers because I didn’t think anyone cared.
The show is bad right now which doesn’t help. The stories are boring and predictable.
Is this Andre or Tony today? I’m confused
Definitely miss the old IMDB days (minus that crazy ass hydra-troll).
I do remember we were all on that one board that fully shut down our of nowhere which sucked.
I miss you guys!

Leafs, I still read your spoilers. So, thank you for posting. I think that there could still be some potential with the show. Xander is my favorite character now. And, Jack is starting to resemble the old Jack again.
