Whale..... goodbye!

For exactly 3 days I thought this was the best film site since imdb. Especially since the site creators had painstakingly imported all the imdb discussions (amazing), it seemed like moviechat would pick up right where imdb left off.

And it did. With the trolls.

What film forum has 10x more posts in the Donald Trump forum than all movies put together? A forum that has nothing to do with movies but serves as a festering hole for people with nothing better to do than hate. People on both sides of the political bickering, how bout taking this to an actual political discussion board if you think you can hold your own. Leave moviechat to those who want to, I dunno, chat movies? (And I mean actual movie talk, not just using a movie as an excuse to spew random hatred)

The Trump board--which is constantly trending--only serves to wind people up, and unable to contain themselves they spread their infection to other forums. I raised this concern with the mods, and while they agreed that political bickering is a big problem, there's not much they can do. I suggested taking down the Trump board as it has nothing to do with actual movies. But we'll see.

Anyway gang, I enjoyed the 3 or 4 film-related discussions I had here. Still looking for a comprehensive film board where I can talk shop with like minded individuals about the art & architecture of cinema. I work in the film industry and rely on intelligent opinions to help me get the job done. Any suggestions, let me know. Til then... See you at the party Richter.

EDIT: best candidate so far is tmdb.org Dedicated to movies only, and troll levels seem low so far.
