IMDB board are shutting down good riddance.


The constant bullying from psychopaths that play victim, the racism, homophobia, sexist people allow to run rapid, the so call fans that do nothing but bully people, the people that want no life outside of the IMDB boards, all will all have to go somewhere else. So many of you been on here for so long you have no idea have bad your behavior has gotten. Let's see how long you guys can last on other sites that have people making sure it doesn't end up like this trash bin.

The game of thrones boards are pretty bad, but this one was fine as are other ones that I lurk on.

This is kind of sad, since I mostly use imdb for the message boards and to hear what other people think of a show/movie.

Same here. I was thinking of participating/ commenting once again when the show comes back. Alas.. Oh well, maybe it was good for me. Too much time wasted lol

You mean time wasted on another site, right? :)

I wonder where I could find another site to talk about this show.

oooookkk 

ME too. I will miss talking here. If you find any good site, do tell me.

I'll miss talking here as well. It's a shame since most of the other places involve shallow discourse than the debates held here. I did respect people despite having different opinions.

These days I pulled back in the off-season, spending my time doing other things and now it'll be permanent. We're being punished for the revolting little trolls on the Politics/Religion/ and whatever show/movie is currently reigning as the cesspit of trolls.

I was looking forward to watching The Originals and discussing it and now that's gone. The wiki has been long taken over by shippers and blind fans/haters. Much like TVD's board.

Well, anyone who wants to stay in contact during this season- send me a personal message. Maybe we can make a group via Facebook or yahoo in order to stay in contact and converse during what's left of the show's run.

Personal message will not be allowed anymore if I understood it clearly.

Yes I was looking forward to discussing this season. Last season, I was not into it but I was now looking forward to it 

SHippers are everywhere. Here too but there were non-shippers pov too which gave another insight.

Anyway twitter is there but you cannot really discuss it on twitter unless you make a group but that just becomes private...

If you have any alternate site do tell...

Do tell me as well, please?

A friend send me this... I am not sure how it works. Am looking into it. We can check it out experimentally.

Hmm, maybe. Would prefer a subforum, so threads can be separate without getting messy.

reply

^ this.. Me too. I was just checking it out but nope.

Since IMDB was my first forcum site I dont know any other . If you come up with something, do share. I will share if I find something. People are discussing alternate sites on SPN website but I haven't read that thread YET.

I'm trying to hunt down a forum a friend sent me to, but I forgot to bookmark (like a dummy). Failing that, we could start one.

reply

We could start one? Explain please.

It's not very complicated to set up a free forum. Or a Facebook fan page. Moderating it would be more troublesome.


I bookmarked the Wayward Children forum on the SPN thread about IMDB shutting down, it looks good. It's new, and they have a subforum for other shows. But we could probably set one up dedicated to TO.

reply

We should create a Facebook group page, and as for moderating- we should try to get as many people from here, the regulars with different opinions and give everybody who starts equal privileges. That way, we can communicate without drama- and we can always make it a closed/secret group to handle any trolls who might come along.


Edit: Okay, need to have a friend to add to group before it'll let me make a Facebook group.

I am in.. .for making up a forum or this other forum you are talking about.

When TWOP went down a lot of people went to PreviouslyTV. They do have a section for the Originals, but it's not as active as here.

As an active member of the Politics board, I want to say good bye to the board here that really drew me into IMDb as more of a real hobby.

And as for your thing about homophobia, racism, etc. Half of that was trolls just trying to make you snowflakes angry. I doubt there was really that much racists on here. No one ignored the trolls, despite my little image signature link in the past (now replaced to my story link for IMDb ending).

I think it may have been closed for the politics board, etc - where it ended up any control of a narrative or administration. And that in my opinion, was a good thing - not a bad thing. But then again, not everyone can tolerate ignorant people, and not everyone can tolerate their echo chambers being invaded. I loved the debate. Whether the left, the right, or just the movie debate. I wanted to be challenged. Few people do. Lack of administration, except for things like porn/child porn posts, etc - is in my opinion, one of the best things about this site, where only things like YouTube sort of have the same groups (but depending on the video hoster...).

I can sort of see the point, since the entire board system seems to crash after every new episode of Game of Thrones.

Not to mention, just $$$.
