Chat board. Not a database.

[–] Galactus03 (4406) 8 years ago

True. But there's no reason we can't have a foundation to help people when they want to discuss certain actors, movies etc...

It's nice to have but I don't think it's high priority right now.

But it should be easy enough I guess to add an auto generated link to Wikipedia page of the movie so we don't need to search ourselves.

Linking to IMDb works too (and may even easier because MC used the same numbers) but I don't know if it's best to cling onto IMDb anymore.

Yeah I'm glad they took off the Imdb link. Don't want anything to do with that site anymore.

All that stuff already exists on IMDb, but the chat forums didn't exist (anymore) and this site was created to fill that vacuum.
Since this site only has one developer and it's not even his main job (he does it in his spare time), it wouldn't make that much sense to duplicate all the stuff that already exists at IMDb.

exactly, I always use IMDb for info I want on actors or movies, there's just nobody to talk to anymore on IMDb

[–] napsdufroid (2077) 8 years ago

Wiki and other sites have that info.

I still use IMBD for casts and for reviews.

Shame you give it any exposure, but obviously your choice

[–] slimone (7996) 8 years ago

I'm not sure I understand. . . .why "shame you give it exposure? I like the reviews on IMDB especially, and of course the cast list. More complete than Wikipedia.

If you didn't get the reference, never mind. Enjoy yourself.
