Never thought I'd live to see the end... What to do in such dire times?

Of all the souls I've encountered, his was the most........vagrant. 

Why are you still reading this? You're hanging around my neck like a vulture, like impending danger!

Shut up and just click this link;

We're more than 40 there already, almost all the regs are joining. Okay? So now stop being a baby and get in the raft!




If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch you must first invent the universe

You're just running on the energy from the event, it'll die off soon.

Why though? This board has been sh!t for the past four years anyway, I barely post anymore and I only pop in every couple of days to see how things are going.

When I first joined the board it was to discuss video games which was pretty much what happened for maybe the first year, after that it became more about discussing everything else and tearing each other to shreds.

Whenever video games were being discussed it was the same old fvcking threads which was mostly just top ten lists. The only time video games are the main topic is during E3 which is for like three days and then it all dies down again. You'll very rarely see more than ten posts in a thread about an upcoming game on this board.

Basically all you're doing with the VG sub-reddit is prolonging the inevitable. A couple of things are gonna happen:

1. You may have like 40+ members now, but that number will slowly go down until there's maybe ten people left. It might take years, but it will happen. I mean off the top of my head Rex Rocker, Rocky and Jon Shiggalow left this board years ago and haven't looked back since. There's probably more, I don't know.

How many new posters have actually come here in their place? I can't think of any. Most of the people who were here six years ago when I first came to the board are still here today and there's been maybe five new posters since then. Maybe. You won't attract any new members because I can guarantee you the people the sub-reddit would normally attract will have their own forums they go to.

The main reason people use this board is because its convenient, not because of the people or stimulating conversation. There's probably less than ten people on this board I can actually talk to, the rest are just fvcking idiots, why would I subject myself to the same kind of sh!t that's been going on here for years with people I don't particularly care for?

2. Like Ace and Snusk said, as soon as politics becomes a topic of conversation it'll probably get shut down because this board is fvcking horrible when that *beep* comes up and because it'll be too much hard work for the mods to monitor and all that hard work will be for nothing.

So what's the point in prolonging the inevitable? Face it, the boards are being shut down, so just let it go.

I don't know what's more worrying. This job or your past.

You're certainly welcome not to join us, but the rest of us will continue posting for the same reasons we have for up to 10 years. Theres no reason to stop simply because IMDB's boards, which were particularly crappy and outdated in any case, are closing when circumnavigating that is as easy as taking 30 seconds to resign at a better host.

I just think a better way of keeping the board alive is by proving to the admin that it's not as bad as they think it is, not that it'll work unless every board does the same thing. It probably won't even work at all anyway no matter what we do.

The only reason they're shutting it down is because people are dicks to each other. I'm not saying that people won't be dicks anyway, but most of the time it was too venomous and hatefilled. The feuds weren't just feuds, they were all out war against people, it was pretty much bullying.

When at least half the population of this board is at each other's throats, it's not hard to see why ALL of the boards are getting shut down. If they're half as bad as this one, I can't blame them for calling it a day.

This is what I don't understand though. If the boards are as crappy and outdated as you say (which they're not, they're fine) why are you desperately trying to cling onto some sort of semblance of it? Why create a sub-reddit called IMDb VG?

And what would the reasons you continue posting for be anyway? It's certainly not to talk about video games. On the first page of the hot category there's seventeen off topic posts and only nine about video games. Five are actually from the two people who I'd say post about games the most on this board, I can't see any from you. All I can think of is that everyone who is jumping over is simply because they ''like'' each other which to me is quite frankly sad and pathetic. The only reason I stayed here for as long as I have is because sometimes the conversation was quite good. I like to think the other people who aren't jumping over stayed for the same reason.

I don't know what's more worrying. This job or your past.

Bacon Statham aka Captain Stupid, you are just an idiot and... stupid little kid.

I always tell the truth, even when I lie.
