No, screw 'em! I still look at some of the reviews for movies and TV shows, but I will never post there again.

Absolutely not. I was stick of being attacked by trolls. But if people want freedom of speech that's the price we have to pay. i don't think it was a bad price anyway as if someone trolled me I'd give as good back. I'd give them one more chance and that would be if the boards were put back as they were without having to sign in through FaceSpy etc. probably won't happen though. Washington elite crony Bezos and his fellow wankers at IMDB used trolls as one of the excuses to shut down the boards as they only like free speech when it suits them. people should boycott Amazon too.

Anybody saying they wouldn't go back to IMDb boards is lying.

There is a guy on IMDb Reddit who wrote a browser add on that makes another site's message board appear on IMDb. Interesting stuff.

IMO message boards will probably be non-existent in the next 5 years. you can go on Facebook. Twitter. Google +. Myspace. etc and have the same type of discussions on those sites that you would have on a message board Tv Land (or as most now call it Commercial Land) had an online message board for awhile but they eventually said "Hey why do we even have a message board when half of our fans are already on Facebook. Myspace. Twitter. etc" all those sites keep finding ways to adapt while message boards are still struggling to adapt

Yes, I would. I miss the old IMDB forums, IMO. They had an active board for ever movie, TV show, series and actress I liked to post on. Now they are gone and there is nowhere as good of a place to have a interesting discussion about these things. Yes the trolls sucked, but it was easy to laugh at them or ignore.
I like Facebook, Instagram, etc...but that's social media and those aren't the best places to have intellectual discussions about past and present Pop Culture. This forum seems more slighted towards film snobs and the type of posters I ignored on IMDB.

oh god i miss the imdb boards so much every day still.
Dont get me wrong, this forum (and other forums like this) is great and I appreciate it. But I do miss individual boards under every single movie and director and actor and I miss the unique knowledge IMDB forums presented me with. No question I ever had (regardless of how silly it was or to how marginal or forgotten movie or its tiniest detail it was related to) was ever left unaswered. I do miss THAT. and I would go back for THAT. there is no parallel to that anywhere.

Probably not...I've already settled in here. It's a cozy place, and you all seem like a nice bunch. Same, I've settled in here and made it like home.

I'm with weedinator. As much as I appreciate the effort put into getting this board up and running, I'm struggling to find enough to hold my interest As far as holding a grudge against IMDb, I don't. They provided a free service, so I have no right to become annoyed with them when they withdrew it. It would have been a different matter had I been paying for it. If IMDb were to bring back the boards, I'd be back in a heartbeat, and my guess is that many other contributors would be as well. imdbarchive.com/ .....It's not exactly the original boards, but it's damned close.

Well, shit. I guess this place is really worried about the competition. Oh, well. I'm out.

Myspace. Twitter. etc" all those sites keep finding ways to adapt while message boards are still struggling to adapt You are waaaaay off base. First of all, have you ever been to the IMDb Facebook page? There is no discussion there. There is, as you've mentioned, Commercial Land, where they put up movie trailers for the latest piece of crap coming out. If you wanted to you could have a "conversation", I suppose under one of the trailers. I can't even believe you'd mention MySpace. Twitter? Yes, it's extremely easy to have conversations in 14o characters. Google+? I confess to knowing next to nothing about that. The point here is that no other site in existence has what IMDb had-years upon years of posts by people, some no longer among the living, built up on message boards of an incredible number of movies and shows ranging from super popular to super rare. You could click on a message board and be almost certain there would be at least a few good conversations, however old they may have been, filled with information you wouldn't get anywhere else. Now, that's all lost. 2o years of posts of people from all walks of life and all corners of the world, viewpoints and tidbits and stories and laughs and yes, fights. Gone. They could have at the very least archived. Not the big fast moving throwaway boards like Soapbox, Politics, Religion, etc, but the smaller boards, the foreign films, the short-lived but well-remembered-by-some shows. Fuck IMDb. But yes, I'd be back in a heartbeat. I sincerely hope their stock dropped like a rock, or their visitor numbers went down, or they lost some sponsors, SOMETHING, because we all know they were absolutely lying when they cited most of their message board posters had moved to other sites. There are no other sites like IMDb and there never will be again.
