All righty, then... IMDb v2.0 has been around for—what?—around a year and three months? Wow, seems even longer. (Perhaps Admin can correct my math, mathematics nigh-always having been the bane of my existence.) In that time: well, what have you learned, everyone? IMDb’s “I Need to Know” forum was really my first experience with a message-board, where I inquired as to the singer-who-shall-not-be-named-because-we-still-don’t-know-his-name, that infamous masterly line of dialogue “the phone don’t phone,” and an atrocious movie about some old lady possessed by a ghost that I ended up finding out was filmed in a family’s backyard. Good times, good times. And then, just as soon (it seemed) as I’d created an account there, IMDb threw in the towel and went ahead with deleting its boards. So I’m here, and so are all of you. (“Pfui, Salzmank! Don’t tell me where I am!”) What do you know now, thanks to this board, that you didn’t a year ago? There are a lot for me, including the fact that Poe’s Law is very, very true and that message-boards are considered on their way out in general. I didn’t know any of these, but then I’m not exactly on the cutting-edge apropos of technology. Now to you. What have you learned in our time here, if anything? I wonder.

Anybody who agrees with you is educated. Anybody who disagrees with you is brainwashed.

This site is generally a hell of a lot nicer and calmer than oIMDB.
the paranormal site [has nothing to do with tv or movies] is really cool.

I don't get this!! Are you trying to get enemeis? Am I? No, I’m just wondering what, if anything, everyone has learnt in his or her time here. A bit confused about what you mean, Tele… ![](https://s26.postimg.org/5hoy7902h/confused.gif)

Well, I've learned that there are people here that both likes and dis-likes movies I like!
And when some says Shait, and not to be furious and just move on, as if nothing happened....

Who says message boards are on the way out? I was looking up articles about IMDb’s message-boards for the exact date that they deleted them, and nearly every article had a line like that. Here’s just one example: “nowadays, message boards remain an ancient relic to all but the hardcore geeks of the web.”

I just now learned that I am a hardcore geek of the web who dotes upon ancient relics.
I have learned that truly smart people are funny people who are funny without being mean and who don't have to explain that they were being funny! They also don't have to end a statement with <lol> to announce a joke. I have learned to check histories before entering a "discussion" with a potential problem child. I have learned that when called a problem BY a problem to tell them that others know how to check histories. I have learned that water does not actually run off of a duck's back. I have learned what a BBC code is and how to break it. I have learned that tilting at windmills can muss yer hair up pretty darn bad !
and that good friends are good friends.

And passive-aggressive.

We are neither geeks or nerds!
We are just normal people, some puts a nail through a butterfly, and that is OK, loving movies sounds strange, remember movies in history is still a young art!
Just find an abandoned cave and show a family looking at some movie against a wall and paint it ,, movies would have to be as respected as caveman art

Not everyone wants to use Facebook and Twitter, which, along with Apple and Google, are quickly taking over our world. And, really, I bet that the writer of that article has several social media accounts. Ho hum…

IMDb v2.0 has been around for—what?—around a year and three months? Wow, seems even longer. (Perhaps Admin can correct my math, mathematics nigh-always having been the bane of my existence.) This forum was created February 3, 2017. Math sucks. You do it. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

I learned that Admin's name is John Carter and he's not overly fond of the constant references to the movie by the same name.
