I'd give them one more chance BUT only if the boards were put back exactly as they were. none of this signing in through Facebook crap and creeping censorship.
I think everyone should boycot Amazon anyway seeing as the boards closed under their ownership.

Yes, I'd go back. For the individual movie and TV series boards if nothing else.

As long as this site is up and running, no.

I would, I miss the individual boards for TV and movies as well as being able to chat about just TV and movies I am interested in. The new forums such as this one popping up can't compete with the set up IMDB had. I would like to think IMDb will learn from their past mistakes and actually fairly and properly moderate the board this time if they did re-instate it but I don't think they will and if they do bring it back it will be when IMDb is gasping for air due to low site visitor levels.
My main gripe with this site is having to sift through so many Political and Religious etc threads. I would be good if you could tick some boxes so areas of non interest wouldn't appear on the recent threads updates. You can do that on some sites.

No. We got to take a stand. Support other boards such as this one or companies like Amazon will own everything and we'll get dropped at their will as we already did. I don't even buy from Amazon anymore. It's hip to buy from eBay! |

I agree people have to make a stand but as i said i'd give them one more chance. I would still post on here out of principle though and also agree there's a BIG danger of Amazon owning everything.
That's why everyone should still post on here as if Amazon do try and lure us back they've shut the message boards once and could easily do it again

Of course. If it came back tomorrow this place would be dead so you wouldn't have much of a choice.

I certainly would if they brought back the boards for individual shows, movies, and people. No other site could really replace that feature. But it's honestly a fat chance around this point.

I'd go back to the individual movie/TV discussion boards. I would hope, though, that this site would remain active, as I am enjoying it more than IMDb to be honest. There are some posters from the politics board I really miss, and I hope to see them here at some point.

It's easy to say no, but it would really depend on how active their boards were and how they re-created the site.

I would use the individual film and TV series boards. Probably not the general community boards.

Face it. Amazon will monopolize selling products by the end of the 2020s.

I hope that I wouldn't because they did not show us any consideration when we asked them not to pull the plug. They weren't even truthful about when they were going to shut them down. I know they never said the time zone but they said the boards were going down on 2-20-17, this means the earliest they should have gone down was 12am. Even though the time zone was different from where I was, the boards should have gone down on the hour, not at least a half hour before. No matter what time zone they were using, I think they still shut them down earlier than they said they would. I no long trust Col Needham, et al. If they brought the boards back, they would probably end up shutting them down again.
