IMDb will cease to exist when message boards disappear

Seriously, I find it mind boggling that you would shut down the overwhelmingly dominant main reason people use IMDb. It is one of 4-5 sites I visit and contribute to nearly every day. And most loyal users won't likely give a damn about your Facebook, Twitter, etc. IMDB Message Boards have been a mainstay of social media for movie fanatics for many years. So sorry you have made this regrettable decision, but really - IMDb will no longer have any real significance if/when you shut down the messaging. What's the point if you can't contribute your "voice" to the forum? It's like a death, we'll have to bury it and move on. We lose, you lose =(
