I can't believe they deleted it a day early, those lying assholes! Can we curse here? Or is it going to be a morass of censored *beep* words and people adding spaces in between like on imdb lol? LOL Off the subject but, I was watching "Perry Mason" the other day with the captioning on and there was a guy named Dick Marshall and they were at a party serving cocktails.... One of the captions went ... "Yes, Mr Mason, **** was having a ****tail with the defendant". Exactly like that, with **** in the place of Dick and cocktail.
LOL Evidently the captioning company was run by a robot, just like IMDb.

Imdb was the equivalent of being in a Victorian era tea party most of the time. Can't write Dick Van Dyke but could say "That Selena Gomez, I'd sure like to put my **** in her ****!"

I'm a newbie too lol. But yes I'm glad its helped some people. If you recommend people to join, let them know too. In the same place you can edit your privacy settings you can also see a "block list". This is the same as IMDB's ignore list.

Hope they lose epic amounts of traffic and realise how stupid they have been.

I joined here the moment I saw the imdb boards were taken down. I'm having a lot of fun searching through topics that have already been posted and replying so far. I figure there will be a big jump in members pretty soon.
In regards to imdb, I still have my profile just for my own personal movie ratings but that's it. I would go to imdb usually the moment I got home from watching a movie or after finishing it at home and see what people had discussed about it or to ask a question about something that I had missed. So here's hoping this place can be that for me.

I'm keeping my account so I can rate stuff when I've watched it, but that will probably be removed soon as us normal working folk who spend our hard earned cash on film aren't allowed an opinion anymore and are instantly called 'trolls' if we don't like a movie.
Shame the community is being split. It looks like most people have come here though. I don't like reddit and its design.

Sad new day. Goodbye IMDB. The loss is immeasurable. I was shocked to go over there, only to find them gone a day early. They could've had the decency to wait until it was the 20th in all time zones. It would not surprise me if they got some cruel perverse pleasure from yanking the boards early. They probably enjoyed reading all our petitions and posts not to close. Really sad. 'decency'?

I'm sure that even though the boards are shut down, they'll have no problem keeping everyone's cell phone and credit card numbers. Good thing I found a way around that. Can't wait to see what IMDb feature gets taken away next. My money is on reviews.

IMDb is convinced they'll do just fine without us. The moment they blocked users from editing parents guides was when they decided to take action against us. That must've been around 2 years ago now.

I can understand why they did that. Too many people were adding things to the frightening scenes section that do not qualify as frightening. I can't remember what movie it was but someone added "girl find out tooth fairy doesn't exist " to it. It might be for the better that only staff members can edit it.

Would appreciate any guidance. Check out these links: Delete IMDB accountI kept going to the DELETE page, and it kept giving me a "sign in" page. After many attempts the DELETE page appeared. One click "delete my account," and it was done !!!

They even zapped the private messages. Apparently they don't want us communicating with each other at all. Hi Erjen. My profile is still there though. What use is it? Hi Morgana. No use that I can see, unless they still let you do reviews and ratings. I deleted my account shortly after they closed the boards.
