imho the reason for the decline is the the lack of content. the content of imdb is the database. without a database a forum is useless. the pricks from amazon and the prick colneedham knew this. there will be no replacement . unfortunately. I wouldn't say useless.
People are going to have to donate to pay for an upgrade to start a database for this site.
A donation button will have to be created.
Then ad revenue should pick up and help pay for the bandwith.
Would Trolls donate money? Would genuine members donate just so they can see Trolls and assorted dickheads posting crap? The Admin has shot himself in the foot with that route.

I think if we had more discussion going we might attract people who are blindly googling and then come across the boards. Ben made a lot of interesting threads to begin with which made some of the subforums like religion interesting, unfortunately he is also a super troll and so his (extremely) active accounts were banned. Now all that's left in religion is people arguing with each other. Maybe if we make tons of movie threads (in film general) and create more bait topics across the boards it might draw a crowd.

So what if the forum is slowing down? It's still the busiest one out of all the replacement ones out there... And if this place dies, they will all die... So instead of complaining about it, why don't you come up with a solution instead? And if this place dies, they will all die... I agree with you.

Hopefully enough people stick around to keep a good number of posts daily across the whole board, I'll still be here posting like I normally do, I don't normally post loads anyway but I try to post consistently.

Why doesn't he just leave? It even makes me wonder if he's from one of the rival websites just trying to undermine this forum.

Boards are outdated tech to today's youths, and no forums were as active imdb boards.

I dont think it can last without the individual boards and I dont like the layout for MovieDB. In fact I did one search Horror Express 1972 and there are NO discussions!
Damn you Jeff Bezos you %$#@!
I read Amazon removed all Holocaust Revisionism books today as well. Was there too much Holocaust revisionism discussions on the Schindler's List IMDB board, is that why they pulled the plug? That's a move worthy of King Herod. ;0

Just take your decapitation like a good little sheep.

That's not the only board that is empty at that place... In fact, I have yet to see any place that has everything the IMDb had. Most of what I search for, either doesn't exist or is empty. All These places appear to be lying, that say they have "archived" all the old boards. And then you have boards with all the old IMDb troll & flamer threads. It's sickening. I really don't know why people keep wanting that old crap.

Right, on a social media platform such as Facebook. This is probably one of the reasons why so many of these news article websites require FB as a way to comment. Makes it seem like Bulletin Board Systems are antiquated.

@terrygg : It seems to me, that a lot of people have a lot to talk about around here. I see all kinds of topics being discussed, and some that I have to wonder, why they are being brought up in the first place. To the rest of the posters... If members would just focus on talking about movies, and politics, and other things... instead ...of talking about which site is better, or when this site will die... Maybe members would be more inclined to hang around, and new members might join. I have found at another board that welcoming newcomers with a simple Welcome! matters much.

I'm going to say this again as I feel it is rather relevant to this thread. For a start this is forum is called IMDb V2, now that implies it is meant to be about movies and TV shows. I didn't even know that IMDB had a political board until I joined here and found out that the Admin was a member of it. That said perhaps this site could be called IMDB Political chat or something similar. At least let people know what they are signing up for. The Political posts most of which are mindless trolling now far outnumber actual movie and TV posts. Politics is divisive and as most people argue subjectively, things get heated and as they do genuine members lose respect for the site and either leave or just start posting anything they like themselves. There is also absolutely zero moderation here, hate speech and blatant trolling prevail and if the site itself doesn't go down because of that the Service Provider will decide that they do not want to be associated with this mess of a forum and shut it down. I have gone through the boards and noticed in early Feb there were more genuine posts, more Film and TV discussion that has almost faded away completely now. It's also rather sad that the Admin and the Mods find it acceptable that people should have to put up with abuse and trolling. That attitude is what led to IMDb shutting down their forums. Ah that old chestnut "hate speech". something that's used far too often for censorship and i suspect that's one of the excuses that was used to shut the original IMDB boards down. many people on there were quite rightly pointing out the obvious LGBT agenda through film and tv at the moment and that's one thing the powers that be use to crack down on free speech. And the owners of Amazon as far as i can see are part of this elite who don't like free speech. the worst thing this site can do is have over moderation like some sites. I've been called various names over on IMDB but it didn't bother me at all. as long as people aren't threatening violence or slandering people free speech should be allowed. and give this site a chance ...it's only just opened.

I don't know where you're getting your information, but I was never a member of the Politics board on IMDb. As a matter of fact, I never posted a single thing on any general message board on IMDb unless you count the links to this site after I set it up. What is it with all these rumors floating around, anyway? I made a quick, free site for some displaced IMDb members. Next thing I know, there's all these rumors, slanderous allegations, and attempts to get this place shut down. Is this forum really that much of a threat to the other forums? Are the trolls losing so much sleep over being banned from a site they claim to hate that they must spend so much time seeking revenge? It's really bizarre. That is an incorrect statement. Just ask the trolls who have been banned from here, any member who has had their posts deleted, or any of the jerks who tried to flood this site with pornography. You want unmoderated trolls? Go to MovieChat.

There's already a full replacement to IMDB: www.themoviedb.org/It has everything IMDB had, basically message boards to every movie, TV show and actor in existence. And IMDB2 is gonna nowhere. It's still pretty consistent. IMDB2 needs to try to create individual message boards to movies, TV shows and actors as well. I just went to themovieorg and signed up. I am not impressed - although some of the movie pages are cool, and find this site far easier to navigate. I clicked onto their General Discussions page and saw a thread - started by a notorious troll from the IMDB, which dissed this site. And not only did it diss this site, the poster concerned was upset because he was deleted here for a racist comment. He then dissed the IMDB2 moderator who deleted him. I have known this moderator since IMDB forum days, consider him an online friend, and I will not be going back to themoviedb.org. I am going to give IMDB2 my best shot and sincerely hope it succeeds and grows stronger and stronger with every day.

So instead of complaining about it, why don't you come up with a solution instead? I've done my part, far more than the vast majority. I spent days spamming over 20 boards on IMDB getting new users over here. I've commented on YouTube videos about the boards closing and told people about this site. I've made several threads on dead boards on here just to create activity on those boards. I was the one who put in the suggestion for the Marvel and DC sub boards to be made of which they were. I've put in several other suggestions to the admin as well. I come online every day and post in threads that don't interest me at all merely to make those inactive boards seem more active than they actually are. I've given people ideas on what to do to spread the word and help get new users to try and make the site grow. I made this thread just to let people know that it's been declining in the hope that people would see where I'm coming from and think to help the site out by being just a bit more active. So I've done far and away more than my share just to try and help the site grow.
