This is one of my most favourite movies, so I like to read what people have said about it over the years. But I discover that now you can only read two actual pages of original posts, that only go back to 2007.
Before then, there was one post in particular, that was trying to work out Mrs Gallagher's shady background. That proved to be a particularly popular one.
Editors at IMBD, are you listening?
IMDB doesn't do sticky threads. It's possible the thread you mention could have its content preserved in an FAQ. But IMDB doesn't do that itself. A user would need to submit it and IMDB would choose to publish it - or no.
The paucity of posts is disappointing. So is a rating of only 7.5. In its hey-day, Two-and-a-Half Men had 7.9. In what world is that OK?
Thank you so much. I have done some research on this, and came up with the explanation from IMDB.
The message board is not going to become an endless archive, and based on the interest in the movie, some films have older posts than others.
Gone with the Wind, for instance, is such a commented upon movie, the older posts are from August 2015, only a few months ago.
The Bells of St Mary's at least go back to 2007. I include the link to this explanation. http://www.imdb.com/help/show_leaf?boardswhydeleted
