The best part of it was reading movie/show reactions on message boards. reviews just aren't as fun to read. Now I only use it whenever I want to look up a specific actor. Sad.

You don't use it to keep track of what you've seen?

Agreed. The only enjoyable thing there is the polls.

The trivia is sometimes interesting.

I agree. I miss seeing all the sections for the movies and TV shows too and while I enjoy this forum even more than the original IMDB Boards 'cause there are far less trolls and bullies on it thanks to the Admin I miss the individual boards especially for superhero TV shows which I wrote on a lot when I was on the IMDB boards.

Yeah, reviews aren't the same.
I really miss being able to discuss very specific things about films I've watched, I miss reading and discussing theories about "artier" stuff in films, I miss being able to ask and usually have quickly answered questions about trivial stuff in films, etc.

You don't use it to keep track of what you've seen? you don't know what movies you've seen? I don't if I don't keep track of it somehow. Since I've been using IMDb (I've been using it for 20 years now), I've watched at least 7 or 8,000 films, and I started watching films about 30 years before I started using IMDb. Maybe you could remember 20,000+ films you've seen, but I sure can't. When I'm searching for stuff to watch, and I find something interesting that's more than a couple years old, I often have to double-check whether I didn't see it before.

The trivia is sometimes interesting. I agree, besides the message boards trivia was my next favorite thing on it. But, once you've read it you're not going back to it.

The best part of it was reading movie/show reactions on message boards. Agreed. When the IMDb took down the message boards, I logged out of my IMDb account and have never logged back in. Now, I avoid the IMDb as much as possible, and use alternatives, e.g., Wikipedia instead.

I agree, it's semi-useful for other stuff such as reviews and actors, but I often find myself scrolling to the bottom for the boards, and they haven't been there for seven months.
I'm still holding out some faith that they'll implement a commenting system for movies and TV shows, but the more time that passes, the less likely it is that Col Needham will even bother at this point.
The forums were a very unique feature to the site. Now, all they really do with IMDb is use it to shamelessly promote the crap out of certain movies and celebrities.

Only reason I go is to Check some technical specs and trivia. I also never have logged into my account since the boards closed

I only liked seeking trivia there now. Still not as much fun to do without any discussion sections. The database is essentially another Wikipedia.

the most fun thing in the world for me was to binge LMN and find the movie I am watching just to caustic comment or bitch about how asinine the slags are behaving. beachwaves and whore shoes while you run away from a psycho in the rain... get real!

I went to message boards usually as much as I went to reviews. Sure sucks that they got rid of them.

I agree. There's not as much reason to go there now.

VERY boring, despite this I still use it every day, largely to add quotes, trivia, movie references, etc.
