This site has really gone downhill


There are a few good posters here and the occasional good discussion, but there are lots of garbage posters and stupid discussions.

reply

Where did all the posters from the IMDB forums go?

reply

That is a good question. Most of them certainly didn't come here. They just seem to have disappeared.

Imdb is dead, Jim!!!

I've been on IMDb since 2007.

I’m talking about the forums, not just looking at the site. The forums are gone. Where did all those posters go? You would think they would have come here, but the traffic here is not nearly as great.

reply

I was on the forums and was very sad when they pulled the plug.

reply

I've read your comments, you must have been part of the reason.

reply

That would be you.

reply

Did anyone manage to spot who this poster was before they deleted their account? Not sure about people who complain about silly threads. It is an entertainment based forum, it shouldn't even have a political board.

reply

Most did.

reply

It was Allaby but he has since come back as AllabyReturns or something like that.

reply

That was silly. I have tried doing that in past on other forums. Hard to come back and start with zero post count again.

Where is he back? Some board for a film about little girls?

reply

Why don't you go take a flying fuck at the moon arsehole.

reply

OMFG look at this guy, digging in his heels to defend what he thinks is a noble cause Protecting Men's Rights To Perv On Little Girls! He thinks he's doing the right thing,
it's like actors say: "Every villain thinks he's a hero"!

Just don't click on any links he posts.

reply

I didn't know the mood had an arsehole. 😜🤣

reply

Otter won't thank me for saying this, but there is NO need for such rudeness. And Otter has a point when she calls out the creepiness of posting multiple posts regarding underage girls. Defending that 'right' isn't a hill one should want to die on.

reply

It wasn’t Allaby, it was fake.

reply

Who was it and how do you know it was fake ?

reply

I don’t know who it was, but I heard it from a reliable source that it was allegedly someone posing as Allaby.

reply

It's a shame then if he has really pulled the plug.

reply

Agreed - A knowledgeable film buff!

reply

I once heard something from someone who heard it from a reliable source who was really good at hearing things from others, that they heard about these kinds of things, often.

reply

I heard that too.

reply

allaby

reply

Thanks.

reply

I don't know what the Karate Kid 3 board is going to do once Cobra Kai is finished. That board has a lot of garbage posts on it.

reply

The world is going downhill, why should this site be any different.

But to try to slow the descent, here's a picture of a cute puppy...

If you want to find good discussions find some that are over 10 years old.
Today it's all right-wing nut rants, nasty comments about women or parts of their anatomy, reviving hero-worshipping discussions about horrible dictators, and other such empty-headed nonsense.

Originally IMDB had some pretty interesting stuff. The more garbage there is the less good discussions can be found, and when it is virtually all garbage even if there is some intelligent back and forth it is hard to find.
