I give you credit for not simply linking to your review and at least offering a little description, but I honestly don't understand you guys and gals who drop into a movie's messageboard and essentially leave; never to be seen again.
Does that honestly generate hits to your site? I always found it best to at least hang around a board for a little while, talk about the movie, etc.
Our site features a variety of writers, so what follows is my own personal opinion and I don't speak for everyone:
I'm ALWAYS happy to engage in a solid discussion about movies. (It's why I got into writing about movies in the first place.) I'm up for a solid discussion about anything, really.
I used to be a regular IMDb poster years ago under a different username. Eventually I felt like I was drowning in the overwhelming amount of rudeness that it turned me off from posting with regularity. Obviously, this doesn't apply to everyone and there are a number of thoughtful, funny people out there. I haven't been around as much, so hopefully these people are the majority now.
More specifically, the reason I don't talk a ton is because I've sort of taken it upon myself to post these links on IMDb. I don't write every review on our site (for example, I didn't write the one for "Jeff, Who Lives at Home") and I haven't personally seen all of these films. As a result, I can't really add much to the discussion. (Certainly, not as much as the person who wrote the review would add.) Now, if we're talking about a movie I actually saw, that's a different story.
As for the question of whether or not it generates hits: well, it definitely generates more hits than if I DIDN'T post the links on here. :)
We're pretty modest: about five people who post pretty regularly (at least three or four times per week, including myself) and another five who post semi-regularly (three or four times per month).
We pretty much do this in our spare time to get away from our regular jobs. I'm sure you know how it is.
Anyway, we should probably get back on track. Maybe say something about "Jeff, Who Lives At Home." (Because I can't.)

Same here, though I work in a little bit of web so can update mine from work if I get the chance.

I agree with whoever wrote the reivew when they said it tried a little too hard to be indie at times. I even compared it to a hipster or emo kid in my review, lol.
