imdb2 will be dead in the water in a few months... most free forums go that way once the admins become disinterested & if it doesn't die it will become a small clique which happens every time.

Yea the boards for individual films is what it is all about & archiving so what site does it best will become the new home.

"But you do need the individual boards to become huge."

This is true because regulars will also visit other boards & gain members. I am off to Walking Dead forum in a bit :D

Oh so you are promoting that shit site here? Wait, do you know that they cannot even afford a domain name for themselves? lol fuck off back to that shitty place moron they will ban everyone they hate soon. This is what happens when human moderation happens. however when you have automated moderation like we used to have on IMDb, the site flourished and millions of users used to browse.

No just this one. I looked around b4 I got here but this site wins hands down.

[–] April-151-CT (10210) 8 years ago

Amen. It might not look as fancy as others, but for me, it's the content and features and traffic that keeps me here. I need no other.

Previously TV forums are fairly active at a good number of their boards over there Violet, so you might check them out as well. They only have tv shows though, no movies.

I find myself going between 4 different boards now. This site, which is my main site, The Movie DB, Previously TV, and IMDB archive. Set up neatly in my bookmarks, and with notifications, it's fairly easy to keep track of all of my activity at the different boards.

Previously TV

I just registered for imdbarchive.com (which I found in a really weird thread on the Halloween III board) but it doesn't have the trending topics thing which makes this site the so far superior one. Plus, I've gotten used to talking to people here now. But that one seems to have all the boards archived.

reply

[–] BenCaesar (612) 8 years ago

layout here is much better too. I am loving it

reply

[–] soggybottom (127) 8 years ago

Hah Homework! You found our weird bunch on the Halloween 3 board! That made my day!!!

Yeah, IMDb-Archive is cool in that it has ALL of the old IMDb-threads, but nobody seems to be posting there.

Jim is working on getting all of that on this site too, so I think this one will win in the long run.

reply

[–] violet (6) 8 years ago

Oh I didn't have that archive bookmarked! I love it.

reply

[–] Isthisyourhomework (283) 8 years ago

LOL, yes hi I don't know what was going on in that convo but it wasn't boring....held my attention long enough to get to that link that may be useful because of the archiving. Until we get them all over here, of course.

[–] Kawada_Kira (7282) 8 years ago

Just this one for me. The other ones didn't grab my interest like this one does. This site has the IMDb feel way more than the other ones do.

[–] missnat84 (212) 8 years ago

I love this site,one and only!

[–] DreamersxDisease (817) 8 years ago

I saw some mention Previously Tv, which I had never heard of till this site went up actually. I was just wondering if anyone else uses that and what your thoughts are on it? Any good?

Even though I'm on MovieChat almost exclusively, I think it's not surprising that a lot of people are looking for alternatives or back ups even in case something happens here. We've all been burned by IMDb, it taught us to always be on the look out for other places too!

[–] Catbookss (13664) 8 years ago

I've read PreviouslyTV off and on for the past 6 months. Not a lot, but some. The posters seem like a good group, and I did register, but then found this site.

PreviouslyTV is only about TV. No film or actor boards. The main drawback for me is only mods are allowed to start new threads. You can request of them a new subject/thread, but otherwise have to use the existing threads.

reply

[–] DreamersxDisease (817) 8 years ago

Hm, that's weird about the threads, but I suppose that's their way of keeping the boards clean or what-knot. I might go scope it out and see how it feels. I don't mind the whole just TV thing since that's what I watch mostly now anyways. I mean, I like having all of it like we do here, certainly, but I could make do with solely tv, if need be.

It might just be a nice thing to have in my back pocket, like I said, just in case. I want this site to work out though, and intend on sticking around here for the most part.

reply

[–] Catbookss (13664) 8 years ago

Yep, I expect it is about keeping the boards clean. Probably cuts down on trolling, too … Come to think of it, it didn't see any trolling there at all.

Once you get into the threads, it's nice there. It's just that for me it's harder to join in the conversations when I'm limited to only a few subjects, and can't figure out which one my comment best fits.

I do watch more TV than film these days, but still like to talk about and read about films.

I know:

"PreviouslyTV is only about TV. No film or actor boards."

[–] DreamersxDisease (817) 8 years ago

Thanks for the info!

[–] Catbookss (13664) 8 years ago

You're welcome :)

reply

[–] wanton87 (934) 8 years ago

I post over at Previously TV as well DreamersxDisease, and kind of like it there. Some of the boards are quite active. I actually didn't know that they discouraged creating new threads until Catbookss informed me, but I did see someone create a thread, and then the mods merged it with another, so I knew something was up. I'd say it's worth checking out.

reply

[–] Gameboy (77) 8 years ago

No it isnt worth checking out.

reply

[–] wanton87 (934) 8 years ago

Previously TV is what I'm referring to Gameboy.

reply

[–] Gameboy (77) 8 years ago

moviechat is better. It will get better. It is also appearing on google search results now.

[–] DreamersxDisease (817) 8 years ago

Good to get some feedback, I'll add it to my message board collection for safe keeping, haha. Thanks!

Nope. I like this one fine so I don't feel the need for others.

OP is IMDB2 admin "John Carter"

reply

[–] Popcorn Kernel (2368) 8 years ago

so?
I don't care about this silly board war. If you don't like the other board so much then don't use it.

reply

[–] Gameboy (77) 8 years ago

I won't use it but i will call him and his friends out

reply

[–] FullColor (26) 8 years ago

I'm just here. I find IMDB2 kind of pointless since it doesn't have individual boards for movies (I'm already a member on places where I can discuss film in general, I don't need another), and The Movie Database just feels so empty since the movies I'd watch to talk about are empty (something about the archives makes it feel more comfortable being on the individual boards here, even if it's been months since the last post).

reply

[–] trippycheez (37) 8 years ago

Same here. I've started posting threads in individual movie boards, even if there is no recent activity. Someone has to start the discussion back up, so it might as well be me!

I also enjoy reading the archives. Love that I can still benefit from the insights of people who posted years ago on IMDb.
