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 !!! Having the same problem. Always directed to the sign-in page. Tried several times yesterday and continues today. Is it a Safari issue? Anything is possible, but I had the same problem and I'm using Firefox on a PC. After many tries, the correct screen appeared. Maybe it's an IMDB issue. (?)

I think I'll try contacting them directly to resolve the issue. Maybe they saw this coming and made it difficult to do until tempers died down? I'm not prone to conspiracy theories, but deleting an account anywhere else doesn't involve some convoluted steps (or in this case) completely inaccessible.

Yes. I was waiting until it was closer to the end to say some goodbyes and then they slammed the door in our faces early. Silly me. I thought that it would end at midnight in Hollywood. You're not the only "silly" one, Jervis. I thought the same thing, and I'd bet many others did too. Of course, my assumption could be partly attributable to my being a native and resident Californian, but since this is the state where America's film industry first truly flourished...closing down at "Pacific Hollywood Time" does seem pretty logical. But apparently it never occurred to those wonderful folks back at IMDb that a lot of us didn't know that the closure message was coming from the U.K...or even more likely, they just. Didn't. Care. Anyway, I'm here now, and I'm glad to see some of my old friends--including you, Jervis--eager to see more of them, and hoping to meet new ones!

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.
Ha! The same thing has happened to me, several times. On the same show (love me some Perry Mason!), I've seen another howler of robotic censoring with the word "suspicion". They captioned it as "su****ion" for fear of offending viewers of Latino heritage. Sorry for the digression, everybody...

I'm not deleting my account because I think they will bring some type of boards back. I just can't imagine the site getting the revenue it usually gets. And IMDB is in danger right now if a big competitor stepped up to the plate.
But I will be boycotting the site by not visiting.

And IMDB is in danger right now if a big competitor stepped up to the plate. But I will be boycotting the site by not visiting. My IMBD page is now in 'Deep Sleep' mode. (with thoughts of pure deletion) I review mostly Classic Movies in the Winter Months (which can be done on these boards and might be read) and in the Prime Movie Release Season, I post on Meta-Critic and now on here. This IMBD2 Board is way better, look at all the modernized features and it looks great! Thanks once again Mr. Administer- We need to Build you a 'Thank YOU!' Thread. This is my main discussion Board and if Amazon/Imbd creates a new board- I will never lemming over there, will go anywhere else but back there again.

If you google around you'll see they don't make it easy for a lot of people.

Hello All!! I too was trying to enjoy the message boards in the final hours when they disappeared right in front of me. I thought for sure it would be 2/20 Pacific time like the message boards were. I really believe they are going to roll out monitored message boards for a fee in the next few months. Screw that!

Well watch out for at least one message board (advertised here). There's no way to delete your "account" (personal information) with them. I've never liked this "account" garbage. Here's how I did it (re: imdb): ------- ------- to: support@getsatisfaction.com subject: Please DELETE my account(s) Hello, I want to delete all my 'accounts' with you but I can't seem to do it. Please DELETE all my accounts and information from your system. Thank you. . . . [some time later] Hi there, Thank you for reaching out to Get Satisfaction! We've received your request (#19007), and will get back to you just as soon as we can. ------- ------- I said to them very specifically "delete ALL my accounts" because I read online that if you didn't specify it this way they would leave an 'internal' account active. Beware.

J2: I sent a note to IMDb directly, and this screen popped up:
"If your message requires an answer from us, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Though we read every message, due to the extremely high number we receive we are unable to personally reply to everyone. Please add do-not-reply@imdb.com to your email address book to be sure our responses won't be blocked accidentally by your spam filter."
Are you suggesting that I need to go to an external site to have my info scrubbed?
