Imdb is so boring now honestly

I agree. I still go to it to find filmmakers and see their filmographies, but there's nothing keeping me there more than just a few minutes. I used to go to the site every day, sometimes just to browse the message boards, but not any longer. I go there about twice a week now. I went there the other day and was reminded that I used to keep track of the movies I wanted to see. You're right that it's boring now.

Plus, the message boards provided a key feature to the site where a user could ask other users about a specific part of the movie. Whereas reviews provide a good reception history of a film, the message boards provided a guide to a film's interpretation. Without the boards, the site is a pale version of what it was.

Exactly. Before message boards closed down I went to IMDb almost every day. Since they closed I have been there only two or three times. The times I went to it was only to find out the names of some actresses I had seen in movies. Did not even have to log on to find out their names. Got to wonder if they regret closing them down and are just to stubborn to admit it?

they took the message boards away. it's supposed to be boring

why they closed them is still a big mystery


there are rumors it had to do with censoring certain kind of speech (negative comments for certain movies, actors, the political views of certain people on the politics board) Considering IMDB is owned by Amazon, it could be the reason.

I use IMDb to rate and keep track of what i have seen. without it, while i could remember a large chunk of what i have seen i suspect, i could not recall everything i have rated. like if someone mentioned a random movie and i had to answer a simple 'Yes' or "No' in regard to whether i seen the movie or not i would imagine some i would get wrong as after a certain point some movies just tend to be truly forgettable and you could not even remember if you have seen a movie or not.
