Man, fuck IMDB.
Seriously, fuck 'em. They've demonstrated beyond all reasonable doubt that they don't give a shit about their 'community' or the thoughts of the large numbers of registered users who have kept their business afloat for years, even decades in some cases. Thirteen years of my content, gone. Flushed down the pan in a matter of seconds without a second thought.
Same story for everybody else, and even without the personal aspect I'd be P.O.'d at the colossal bonfire of cultural and sociological history that's been done today. And for what reason? Some meaningless marketing guff that's a weak attempt at covering up the fact that Amazon, champion of corporate greed ordered the boards erased. Pathetic. I would apologise for the swear words but frankly in this context I believe a lot more would be warranted.
