Has This Board Ever Had A Chatroom?


Something like this: https://www.chatzy.com/

I know the old IMDb had a few chatrooms many years ago. Just wondering if this is something that is currently in use?

reply

It would be a nice addition.

I used to be in an IMDb chatroom about 10 years ago and it was quite nice to talk in real time to other film lovers.

reply

I honestly don't remember that chat room.

reply

I know, it was a long time ago. It ran for many years and was quite good fun. Not quite sure whatever happened to it.

reply

I'm skeptical of that. I posted on the IMDb forums from 2002 until they closed in 2017, and I never heard of them having a chatroom. Are you sure it was an official IMDb thing rather than just something an IMDb user created on his own, like the many "IMDb" message boards that were independently created both before and after the demise of the real IMDb forums?

reply

Well, I think you are technically right. From memory there were chatzy rooms created by IMDb members, so yeah, the chatroom I was in wasn't an actual official IMDb board.

I posted on IMDb from around 2006 until they closed.

reply

Are you sure? I don’t remember there ever being a chat room on IMDb, but my memory isn’t always reliable. Still though that seems like something I would have come across and remember.

We have Movie Chat Movie Club👍
You should join us!

Every Friday and Saturday Stonekeeper hosts movies and afterwards sslssg usually hosts a fun ZOOM meet in which in we politely bicker and dissect the movies we watched.

Hope to see you next Friday😄

reply

Really? That's cool that you guys have that sort of online community where you actually have Zoom calls. I might just attend one soon. :)

reply

Please do, it’s very good natured discussion and the Regs are fine company. Stonekeeper usually posts a list of the movies midweek or Thursday at the latest👍

reply

Anyone got Skype? Or Facebook, lol...

reply

And will I be welcome once for a correspondence with someone, cheers.

reply

Not sure what you mean...? It would just be a chatroom, like a live message board.

reply

Oh, I see, I thought or rather, I wondered if something akin to a video chat was possible. :)

reply

Isn't that what the board's Friday and Saturday Zoom meeting is for? I'm not very active on here but ShogunOfYonkers mentioned it earlier in this thread.

reply

I made a Discord room when the site was having issues, and people still show up, but if there was an official one created by Jim, I'd definitely sign up. I prefer instant, live.

If you don't mind me asking, who is Jim?
