I was on the IMDb boards ( purple_lemon ) from 2008 until they were closed in 2017.

Really sad day I recall. I found it very comforting for some reason to visit those boards and reply to very old posts

Yes Amazon committed an act of cultural vandalism when they deleted so much of the posting history. There are still some boards that have posts going back as far as 19 years ago but most of it is gone.

If you're talking about the Soapbox you're right. But there was a lot more to the IMDb boards than just the Soapbox.

I posted on the imdb boards from about 2013 until they closed and then came here. Some people on here never posted on imdb and just joined Moviechat directly.

Cool to know new people are joining, I feels like "the comment section" is such an important an unique feature of the internet

[–] moviechatterer (16282) 2 years ago

I feel disappointed now if i'm on a web page e.g. news maybe , and there isnt a comment section!
.. and then places where there is a comment section i always end up thinking "why am i reading all these idiotic , all the same , comments?"

Yah, member since 2001. I was a regular on Seinfeld and Upstairs, Downstairs boards.

You might enjoy Keeping Up Appearances from the early to mid 90s. It’s a BritCom about a henpecking woman who Lords it over her entire family and neighborhood played by English actress Samantha Routledge…she’s just an hilariously terrible person and much like Archie Bunker she always winds up the fool.

Great, hilarious stuff👍

[–] nyctc7 (44089) 2 years ago

I'll check it out, but...the only British humor I've ever been able to get into is Monty Python. We'll just have to see!

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78448) 2 years ago

Python is a classic, I agree.

And just like FDR they only fear the self mutilation of skin itself.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH SKIN COST BACK THEN?...DAMN KIDS THESE DAYS...JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND...IT'S LIKE INSTALLING INDOOR PLUMBING IN YOUR HOUSE...IT JUST RUINS THE STRUCTURE AND IS SO EXPENSIVE TO HAVE REMOVED. NOEMOJI

I was on the IMDb boards (a lot) from about 2010 - 2017, when they closed. Mainly horror and CBMs.

[–] roger_dat (1678) 2 years ago

Wow 2000, that is ANCIENT

reply

[–] [deleted] 2 years ago

I never really posted on the IMDB boards. Only a handful of topics, I was more of a lurker. I've posted on here way, way more.

reply

[–] jonathan_k80 (6436) 2 years ago

I opened an account on IMDb sometime around 2002, then moved here and to a couple of other sites once Scamazon shut down the message boards. This is the only site I frequent since the other two never really took off.
