I signed. Not very encouraging that there are so few signatures though. I think Col Needham needs to learn "website 101"- don't send your traffic and ad revenue to other websites.

Chicagobears.com did this same thing a few years ago, telling people they could discuss the Bears on their facebook. You can't have in-depth discussion on facebook, it's not the right milieu. And I surely don't want my friends and family getting notifications every time I discuss a movie, tv show or actor. Come on, get real.

I'm really hoping they see a dramatic decrease in traffic and end up reversing their decision. About the only time I visit IMDB other than the boards is if I see a familiar face in a show and want to see where I know them from.

when traffic to the site falls to nothing, maybe they will reverse their decision
