Years ago I was a member of the IMDB forum. The layout and nature of this forum pretty much is identical to this. Unfortunately this forum is no longer around. Anybody else here was a member of IMDB?
shareYes, the point of this site is to continue the IMDB forums. Like a phoenix it rose from the ashes of IMDB message boards.
shareThat's because it's an unofficial continuation of the old IMDb forums. They even archived all of the individual IMDb movie, TV show, cast, and crew message boards, which is why you can find threads/posts here that are far older than this website.
shareyeah I was on IMDb for a number of years. I like this forum because it has the film and TV show boards with discussions like IMDb used to have.
shareYeah, we remember the good old days of the IMDb forum.
I think I joined in early 2006 and was a regular after that.
It's IMDb. Not to be pedantic but you don't capitalize the 'b'. There are sites which call themselves IMDB all caps. They are not the Internet Movie Database.
shareOh yeah, well I call it iMdB!
shareHahaha, my friend.
There are a couple of IMDb spinoff sites which call themselves "IMDB" all caps, to avoid trademark infringement from IMDb.
I remember the controversy about the use of "IMDb" as a name by spinoffs in 2017 after the message boards were closed. IMDb threatened litigation.
There is not a thing pedantic about, y’know, precise communication. Half of the posters here can’t recite the alphabet without having to look at their phones. And punctuation? Capitalization? Grammar? Diction? A wolf pack is more literate than these pathetic losers.
But, hey! Boobies!

Hey man, no dissing my wolf pack.
shareIt IS IMDB minus actors or Hollywood staff posting on it. It's pretty much a carbon copy after it shutdown. Many migrated from there as well although others left as it got more and more deranged and toxic for some.
shareOh, I think a lot of people got left in the dust. I was mourning the loss for a good while until I looked around a bit and found this place.
As far as it getting deranged & toxic, wouldn't know about that. It seems pretty tame to me.
MC is nowhere near the troll level IMDb was towards the end, & nowhere near the troll level that filmboards.com is (where all those trolls went & continue their shit posts & flame and wars)
shareShit, now i got to start posting there.
