Why does this board shill everywhere else?


I'm curious--why do people on this board see fit to shill on other sites? I'm at IMDB2, and every day I read shilling/trolling posts over there by people encouraging others to come here. Is that your policy and something you encourage?

reply

We're trying to bring attention to this site, to let people know the site exists so they can come here. It's possible that some people do it over-enthusiastically in ways that irritate people, but their intentions are good. This site isn't at the top of Google searches and it isn't able to advertise here and there. It's just getting started and it needs new people. I came here because people kept talking about it on Facebook. Word of mouth is what's gonna get this thing going. So that's what people are doing.

it's good that people on imdb2 realises this one exists. sorry if this offends you but imdb2 is not user friendly and it simply cannot be compared to moviechat

reply

Am I alone in thinking that the OP may be one of the trolls?! That's two topics and one reply to an existing topic all about trolls. Sounds like an attention seeking troll to me.

reply

It's possible. Mrs. Taggart started this thread 5 months ago around the time when this site started.
This person could very well have been a troll, but my feeling is that this is just a post from someone who was encouraging people to join IMDB2 at a time when we were all searching for a good site. Mrs. Taggart may have found a site that suited her/him better.
We were scattered to the winds. I suppose that some people still feel that way.....
I don't! I've gotten over the IMDb shutdown. I have looked around at a few sites. I have even registered at another one before I registered here five months ago. Some have found another site that suits them better. They may have reconnected with old friens. It happens.
There is no competition here. I can't imagine why there should be any competition between any of these sort of sites.
You can join several sites if you like to talk to various people......
Me? I prefer discussing films and shows on this site.
Mrs. Taggart strikes me as someone who may have came and went. Many did that five months ago.

Taggert is yet another bennie sock....

reply

I'm not "Bennie's sock," you moron.

reply

Of course you are, moron

reply

No, I'm not. You're an idiot. I've never even heard of Bennie.

reply

Of course you haven't, bennie. Nice try. FAIL.

Whatever you say, bennie

reply

Mrs. Taggart only had 25 posts 5 months ago. You are suddenly back?

reply

That's how bennie uses socks; he keeps some in reserve to use later with a different IP.

reply

Such as JLeland, which is very low profile, lurking and stalking, employing a sporadic hit and run strategy.

reply

Yup

"I'm not "Bennie's sock," you moron."

WOW! I gave you the benefit of the doubt. You are obviously who they say you are! Why would you be so quick to deny being a troll?

This is obviously a pass time for you in an extremely dull life.

reply

Well, it certainly didn't take YOU long to respond. Maybe you're the troll.

reply

Before you replied so quickly, I thought everyone was being paranoid! It's suddenly an epidemic! lol!

reply

Ok. You got me. I'm Bennie's sock. Only one of them. Haha!

reply

Everyone already knew that, little bennie. You lose again, trollo

reply

I am Bennie, yep! And you can all suck my Bennie!

reply

No. You got yourself. 🚾

reply

You just never give up, do you, little bennie?

reply

Do you mean to tell me that I have just responded to another of his SOCKS???
I'm getting tired of this nonsense.
I would truly like to welcome some new blood here. I never know if I am talking to a newbie or the same ass shat! This grinds my gears!

reply

Unfortunately, little bennie never gets tired because trolling is all it has in life. But if you know what to look for, it's easy enough to tell its socks, and respond/report accordingly.

reply

It's because he's been hitting " the meth pipe " today, " not living in the real world and " his "brain in fried." :rofl:

reply

😂

reply

I came here originally because I thought it was something new. And yes, I was on the IMDB2 board and still am, under a different name. I stayed there because it was more interesting, but the truth is, the board has deteriorated into a forum for the inane and just plain dumb. Topics like, "dryer lint, what's the point?" "Do you ever play with yourself" or "What's your favorite planet" have swayed the site away from its original intent and is pretty much a playground for the crazies.

Is it any wonder that they've lost half their membership since March? I give it until December, and then it will have been whittled down to a few occasional posters.

Just like this place. There's nothing interesting here. That's why I only pop in once in a while, and just to read.

reply

I'm also a member on other sites and recently.i joined FB...there i found my "family"😉

reply

Mrs. Taggart, I have to thank you for broadening my perspective. I have never seen any of the topics you mentioned, undoubtedly the result of me putting a number of manifest dickheads on Ignore. Probably accounts for why my Page 1 in the General section seems so abbreviated. I'm afraid I'd have to agree with your predictions for MC's future. The topics you identified should be lining a kitty litter box. The moronic, masturbatory and vandalistic are driving out the civilized, erudite and potent. To quote T. S. Eliot (albeit edited by Ezra Pound), "This is the way the world ends. . . ."

Shanti.

reply

Yes, any thread with any serious discussion will eventually die or be prey to the crazies. At IMDB2, there are threads like, "someone's speaking Mexican right now" and "Look how big it is!" Just nuts. In the old days, I could go to the IMDB and really discuss movies and TV shows. Not anymore, neither here nor there. Only a matter of time before both boards implode.

reply

Bennie never gives up. And no, I don't want to see your festering Herpes sores, so stop sending me those messages!

reply

Not sending you any messages, bennie. You also never stop lying, trollo/

reply

[deleted]

Bite yourself, bennie. Hard.

reply

That's your problem--you keep biting too hard. I told you that before.

reply

That doesn't even make sense, bennie. Your English gets crappy when you get rattled.

reply

That's odd, since you can't string two syllables together without making a mistake. Is English your second or third language?

reply

Nothing wrong with my English, little bennie. Yours, however, is usually atrocious. But nice try. Keep grasping at straws, loser.

reply

Well, the first mistake you've made, genius, is thinking I'm "Bennie." The second is that you keep sending me selfies showing her Herpes sores. Uh-uh, not interested. And I'm not interested in your STDs, either. Go the the clinic, like I suggested to you months ago. It's free. The longer you wait, the more people you're going to infect. Wow, you'd think people would know how to wear a condom in 2017!

reply

You outright admitted it in this thread just a day ago, pissant !

reply

What a maroon.

reply

Cool ! One of my favorite colors, along with Hunter Green. 😆

reply

I'm glad you like it.

reply

I keep sending you selfies, huh, bennie? You're challenged to prove that, troll. If you can't, you've admitted you're a lying POS

reply

[deleted]

Oh. That's to bad. How will see your family heritage ever again.

reply

Interesting, bennie...how'd you delete something you never received, you little lying troll?

reply

[deleted]

[deleted]

Once again, little bennie... you were challenged to prove your BS, and just kept lying. And how do you know who's reporting your posts, trollo? The fact that making up crap like this is the best you can resort to points to your desperation to be noticed. Why don't you talk about what many remember from IMDB -- when you got prosecuted for what you tried to do with the boy's choir?

reply

The only messages of mine that are getting deleted are the ones replying to you, so it doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure out you're the one reporting them. That's ok, though. Maybe it'll get you to stop sending me those nude selfies.

reply

Actually, others have been deleted, too, bennie-troll. Still lying. But why are you avoiding the actual fact you were prosecuted for what you did with the boys' choir? It was all over IMDB. In fact, believe you did some jail time for it, right?

reply

[deleted]

[deleted]

Sad that that BS is all you have, little bennie. Forgot you already admitted who you are. And don;t need to do better than you doing jail time for your perversion. It was a well-known fact on IMDB.

We've all sworn a blood oath to the Jim, Lord Paramount of Moviechat, to spread the MC gospel throughout the Internet. Gotta go -- it's my shift to troll the comment section on architecturaldigest.com

reply

I'm gonna post this site too.

reply

ok, i think i created profiles on all of these sites when Imdb was shutting down(yea, i basically feel imdb is shut down, cos i dont visit it anymore, cos its just any other site now).

but i prefer this site cos, well, its letting me open the site and do this, while im at work :)

none of the other sites open for me at my workplace, as they are all blocked. Not sure whats the criteria, but, hey, just for that, this site gets my thumbs up
