I thought MC was online already, but took off when Imdb shutdown.

Imdb announced shutdown on Feb 6 and implemented Order 66 on Feb 20. So Jim set up MC in 9 days?

"I thought MC was online already, but took off when Imdb shutdown."

Only for a few days. This site was specifically created to be an archive / unofficial continuation of the IMDb forums, prompted by them shutting down.

"Imdb announced shutdown on Feb 6 and implemented Order 66 on Feb 20. So Jim set up MC in 9 days?"

8 days or less (this site was actually up on the 14th - https://web.archive.org/web/20170214210317/http://www.moviechat.org/). I signed up here and made a bookmark on February 17:

At the time I was skeptical that he would be able to archive the entirety of the vast IMDb forums in such a small amount of time, which is why I wrote the word "supposedly" in the bookmark.

They grow up so fast. Here's to hoping for another 8 if the robot overlords of the future allow it.
