Haha, IMDB's Facebook page has been getting its ass torn open for a while now

When you go there (don't worry, you don't have to leave a like or subscribe), you actually have to search pretty hard to find a comment NOT referencing or complaining about the boards being closed.

You just know they have to be seeing that, and they just have to be hating that!

Well done whoever's been participating in doing that - it's very painfully clear just how irrelevant IMDB's mighty "social media" is, lol

I'll admit I don't know much about how big businesses work, so it's entirely possible I'm wrong, but I'm willing to bet the people who made the decision to cut the forums and the person/people responsible for maintaining the Facebook page are different people.

It's entertaining to read the posts and people should voice their complaints where they can, but ultimately it's probably not doing much other than making some random PR guy's day worse.

BanAtheism73 sounds like a Russian troll or something with that English lol

I finally stopped complaining after unliking it. Don't want to give it traffic.

Just spammed the heck out of Internet Movie Database's Facebook page with the following. This could get ugly.

Anyone interested in engaging in intelligent topical discussion on all things movie and TV from every era since the invention of the motion picture camera, structured in forums organized by subject, without having to flounder through Facebook flotsam, check out The Movie Database and MovieChat on their Facebook pages and websites.

All those interested in being fed promotional material restricted to only the latest releases deemed most profitable to the industry, and milked for every cent possible by greedy soulless corporate monsters, by all means stick with IMDb and keep shopping on Amazon! It's your choice.
