IMDB's stupid move

Will E Worm

Conspiracy...
IMDB is closing their message boards.


Without the message boards there isn't any reason to use IMDB any more.

Talking with people is one of the top features on the Internet.

I will advise you the same as I have meesterP, start and monetize your own youtube channel, if you haven't already. There's still comments on youtube and a fucking goldmine just waiting to be tapped. Why should you and meester let Zen Hexenhammer get all that youtube money without getting your share?

I don't have a channel yet.

Do you know any easy to use animated software?

They all suck, steep learning curve. You don't have to show your face and you can always use Movie Maker to alter your voice. Get a good HD cam and start making videos, easiest money you'll ever make.

Will, they're probably shutting it down because you're spamming their board with poems about your love of men with tits.

That really stinks. I know there is a lot of petty arguing and namecalling on those boards but some of the discussions about film details is interesting.

Some of the fights are good and some trolling is funny.


No one will ever stop it.

Many are already saying they are done with IMDB if the boards go away.

I'll still go there for film info. Between reading stuff on IMDb and watching trailers on YouTube I've been able to learn about many movies I wasn't aware of which has lead to some solid Blu-ray purchases.

Will, you ever check out Reddit? I just downloaded the app and found info about a good Japanese Horror Film which I watched tonight.

I don't think it's a stupid for the website to shut its message boards. There's mostly trolling on their boards from what I seen. If people want to criticize a movie they can just visit the movie's social media websites and say what they have to say about it. But I guess trollers are afraid of people knowing their true identities.

I think it's a dumb move, like when yahoo shut down Geocities, just another example of the facebook-ization of the internet. It used to be nice to have choices, the opportunity to cultivate different online personas, and not just interact with the same old stale friends list from the dominate social media outlet.

I have thought about going to Reddit, but I hear they started cracking down on certain things.

That will not make me want to go to any site.

Variety and choice is what the Internet should be.

Geocities should come back.

There will always be trolling. Some trolls are better than others.


Visit the movies site, then you have to register. Not many will do that.


Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter are dying, because of PC and Anita Sarkeesian.
The Internet would be better without trolls like Anita.

This fucking sucks, I loved that place and there is no reason to go there anymore. This also confirms my theory that the smartphone has caused the extinction of the message board. Bit by bit message boards are closing down everywhere. Sadly its only a matter of time before it happens here. Hope I'm wrong on that one for sure. :(

The only thing that will convince me the FreeOnes message boards are staying up is if we have Miss FreeOnes 2017. Oh, how I wish I could tag Petra in this post. :D
