Future of This Board
For the time being, the single "General Discussion" topic, with a very primitive message board system, suffices. No formatting of text, but you can click on a name and see posts they've started and replies they've made.
I'd like to see a new set of boards implemented, using a state-of-the-art board system. The system IMDB used, with its ability to reply to individual posts, and view them nested, was very good. It was very easy to read.
The one thing they lacked, of course, was an upvote / downvote system, one that would hide posts with sufficient downvotes. Had they had that, any trolling problem would have been fixed. I think that's an essential feature. If this site gets popular, the trolls will arrive.
I don't feel a need to be able to add to the archived threads. They should just remain here for future reference.
There should be a way to add a new message board for a film based on its IMDB title number. Basically, if you search for a board by title and number, and it tells you it doesn't exist, you get a chance to create it.
In a perfect world, there's a message board system out there that is not only close to ideal, but is open-source and could be tweaked as needed by volunteer coders.
