Are all of the IMDb messageboards now fully transferred and online?

As the title says - I ask this because besides enjoying the more well known movies and TV shows I also love some of the lesser known cult classics, yet some of those don't appear to have any messages here.

Some examples:

The Day the Earth Caught Fire
The Woman in Black (1989) (TV Movie)
The Green Man (1990) - (TV Mini-Series)
The Quatermass Xperiment (1955)

and so on.

Or is it now the case that if you don't see any messages for a particular movie or show then those messages haven't been archived so will never be available here?

BTW, huge thanks to Jim for creating this site.

Not yet, it's a slow process and this site is only ca 2 weeks old (maybe even less). Some other things are a priority right now, but the owner of the site will get to transferring those boards eventually. Some people have already reported that their favorite boards were missing in the beginning, but later appeared. Eventually all of them will appear at some point.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if all of the messages from IMDb had been archived and if any were still pending to be copied here.

Yes, all of them have been saved. The owner of this site didn't manage to save them all (IMDb didn't give us enough time), but the Internet Archive saved them all. The missing ones just have to be transferred here but it's impossible to do everything at once.

Excellent, thank you.
