Is this really the best movie board on the internet?

MovieChat has 10 times the volume of it's other IMDb board competitor.

YES...IT IS...BY FAR...THE MORE TRAFFIC WE SUPPLY THE BETTER IT GETS.

What it lacks in traffic, it more than makes up in movie knowledge.

We have some extremely knowledgeable film buffs here, spanning all genres and time periods.

Sometimes traffic less is better, your posts won't get lost, like tears in the rain.

On IMDb I didn't post on any of the generalized boards, whether under Trivia, Awards Season, Film Talk, TV Talk, Shop Talk, Genre Zone, Around the World, Star Talk, Music, Technology, General Boards. I only posted on specific movies, tv shows, actors or actresses.

Here, it is the other way around, I post hardly at all on specific boards, instead 99% of what I post is on General Discussion.

Yes, I miss the activity on specific boards, in my case, Seinfeld and Upstairs, Downstairs, but others as well. But what can you do?

Probably. I liked the IMDb forums better though, because there was so much more traffic.

There are some things about this site that are better than the old IMDb forums though, such as the "Trending" section at the top of the main page, as well as the "Latest Posts" board. That at least makes the most out of what little traffic they get here. On IMDb, if you posted on a specific movie or TV show board, only people going to that specific board would ever see it, and if it was a low-to-no traffic board, it could go a long time without ever being seen. On this site, any post you make shows up in the Trending section on the main page and the Latest Posts board no matter how obscure the movie or TV show is.

I really miss the IMDB boards. My heart still hurts.

There's very little traffic on any of the IMDb substitutes. Unfortunately, the IMDb community was scattered to the four winds, so nothing comes anywhere close to replicating what was lost.

As I always say when this topic comes up, I know for a fact that, behind the scenes, Letterboxd has toyed with the idea of introducing a feature that's a lot like message board forums. On and off, they've been mulling it over for years. They have a sizeable, film-focused community. It could work. But they don't seem to have yet conjured a way to implement it that makes financial or reputational sense for them, so it may never happen.

In the meantime, this kind of thing is unfortunately the best we've got.

As someone who is here for one more week until I'm out of Facebook jail for posting a video game strategy on a video game page and it was called "inciting violence" this whole page completely sucks and they don't even talk about any current politics and stories going on on any given day They just all harp on Jan. 6th
