Theres no indication they will but it's a fear I have. I have no irl social interaction outside this place.

I think people never thought that the IMDB boards would be shut down and then it happened. IMDB was like gamesfaqs but for movies. Every movie used to have its own board. I used to go to the boards after I watched a movie to see what other people were saying about it. Still mad it shut down

Dude, this was a travesty. There was so much good information, or movie analysis ideas you could find in those threads. Reddit just doesn't have shit on the IMDB boards. I try and look for deeper meaning in some films and I can't find even in their official movie discussions. IDK man... fuck IMDB for killing those boards, I honestly have barely been back since then. What a way to kill your site traffic.

It was all cause they got overwhelmed by trolls and didn't want to invest in the amount of mods they would need to combat it. I think they had a fraction of the number of mods gamefaqs has. They could handled it but it would have cost a little money and they would rather just close everything down

Damn, I never really noticed the trolls but I guess they were there. I also never really attended the main forums, just the threads on the movie page itself. What were they doing to get them shut down?

I never really saw the trolls either. Like you I mostly just was on invidual movie boards. Apparently the trolls were on the major boards. I think they had boards for like each genre of movie or something. Ans that was where people found trolls

IMDB should have went the reddit route, free volunteer mods.
