Not enough people here

I really like this site but the biggest problem is that few people seem to know about it, same problem for themoviedb and chataboutfilms. On the IMDB forums you could ask a question about an obscure film or show from the 60s, 70s or even earlier and someone would answer the same day but here, even the most popular and recent shows and films are a ghost town in the discussions. There needs to be some advertising to bring in people, I hope it improves over time but the few people here won't stick around long if it stays like this for a long time.

That really sounds so brilliant, Greenplant29!! I really hope this would be true!!!!
In that case, maybe people should not be so fast in deleting their original IMDb accounts!

I'm here, so all is well. Now, if I wasn't here? We'd have problems. ;)

Well, thank Goodness for that; sloppy, lol! :)
I understand your anger, "9"!
Ig Greenplants´s sugegstion is true, they really have handled the situation poorly to say the least.

What I thought was disgusting is that I think EVERYONE assumed and expected that the end of message boards wouldn't happen any sooner than midnight US Eastern Time of Sunday night, particularly since, after all, the US is the movies and entertainment capitol of the world. Yet, IMDb closed down the boards at midnight THEIR time (London). I don't know of anyone who expected the plug to get pulled so early - just after 7p.m. Eastern (4p.m. West Coast). That was so not cool.
