There's no other website that has a message board for practically …

... every movie and TV show ever made (not that I know of anyway). That's the worst part of this; worse than the loss of the main boards. For the past 15 years or so, whenever I'd watch a movie (or TV show in some cases) I'd always go to the IMDb message board for that movie to discuss it or read the existing discussions. Sometimes that was more entertaining than the movie or TV show itself.

For huge franchises like Star Wars or Star Trek, there are big forums out there dedicated to them, but for the vast majority of movies and TV shows, there are no forums out there aside from the ones on IMDb. I doubt anything will come along to take the place of the entire body of IMDb message boards, nor even a significant percentage of it. That's a rather big downgrade to the internet in general.

Re: There's no other website that has a message board for practically ..

Yeah well...apparently their Facebook...Snapchat...Twitter etc is more popular. I reckon because people don't really say anything but a couple of words maybe and click on some pictures. Do you know of a site that can be made to be like this one? Can you come to monkey's please?

Re: There's no other website that has a message board for practically ..

No one's going to make a site like this one, and even if someone made an exact mirror of it (which would be a massive undertaking; IMDb has tens, if not hundreds of thousands of movie and TV show pages, every one of which has its own message board), who's going to be there? IMDb has the 47th highest amount of traffic in the world; a brand new random copycat site wouldn't even be on anyone's radar. It would rank something like 1 billionth in traffic.

I have no current plans to join any homemade IMDb spinoff site.

I'm going to miss all your recipes threads.

Send me all your recipes now.

Re: There's no other website that has a message board for practically ..

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't have my recipes written down, aside from maybe a couple somewhere on my hard drive.

Re: There's no other website that has a message board for practically ..

With that type of attitude we're doomed.

Like you I will mourn the loss of the individual film and TV boards. So, we have to try to devise an alternative.

Why let the IMDB continue to fück us up the ass? We need to say no to them and create an alternative.

Re: There's no other website that has a message board for practically ..

It's no small thing to replace the IMDb message board system, which has approximately 140,000 feature films listed, with a message board for each, and that's not counting TV shows, documentaries, etc. And making a top 50 website is an even taller order. If it were easy, we'd all be millionaires. IMDb has been built incrementally over a period of more than 20 years.

I'm going to miss you most of all. Where else am I going to come and learn the proper way to moisturize a left butt cheek, Complete with diagrams, testimonials, pie charts, and Tumblr pictures. Or who will create a 200 post thread (half being yours) about patina and then ending up putting everyone who told you how wrong you were on ignore.

Re: There's no other website that has a message board for practically ..

That is exactly how I feel about it too. It is going to be a huge loss for movie fans.

I was saying something like that just earlier today in real life, except I used Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead as examples.

Re: There's no other website that has a message board for practically ..

Wikipedia has nowhere near the depth of information this site does. Nor does it have full filmographies and full cast and credit lists for the people involved. Many films and actors don't have their own Wikipedia page, and the information that does exist is often inaccurate and incomplete.

Re: There's no other website that has a message board for practically ..

It sucks. Always check the discussion board for every movie I watch or am going to watch. Was really looking forward to the upcoming twin peaks season for that reason.

Re: There's no other website that has a message board for practically ..

no...the loss of the main boards such as this one, would be endurable.

It's the loss of the show/movie/actor boards..where you can find posts about almost any obscure show or person.

That's what I said, so I don't know why you started your sentence with "no".

There are lots of similar forums for discussing the IMDb main boards topics, but you won't find a collection of forums for ~every TV show and movie ever made, anywhere else, nor even anything close. The only other high-traffic website that could feasibly do it is Wikipedia, because they already have pages for most, if not all, of those movies and TV shows, but the likelihood of Wikipedia adding a message board at the bottom of each of their articles is effectively zero. They do have the "talk" page for each of their articles, but those are only for discussing the articles themselves.

Re: There's no other website that has a message board for practically ..

That's why I hope this site actually folds after this move and someone else steps in and rubs their faces in it.

Re: There's no other website that has a message board for practically ..

That is most likely to happen.

Re: There's no other website that has a message board for practically ..

That's so true! What a waste of information, the movie boards are the main reason for visiting this site.

I'll miss your recipes!

Re: There's no other website that has a message board for practically ..

Even before I considered signing up I used to make somewhat of a habit of coming here after watching a movie or TV show and going to the message boards to read what people were saying about it. Never had a desire to join in at the time, just wanted to read others' stuff.

Re: There's no other website that has a message board for practically ..

You just need to get the lighter ready and throw it right at the end and burn this sucker down. Be all dramatic and slow motion like too. Maybe have your hair blowing in the wind in slow mo.

Re: There's no other website that has a message board for practically ..

https://www.themoviedb.org/ may be a viable alternative.

Re: There's no other website that has a message board for practically ..

That's why the boards will be missed.

Re: There's no other website that has a message board for practically ..

Agreed. I especially enjoyed having this as a forum to vent about a tv show that did something stupid or got something wrong. I also praised or defended ones that merited it. These message boards gave the people a voice.

And yeah, off topic chat (not directly pertaining to editing proposals) happens on Wikipedia talk pages but they get upset if there's too much of it. It's not a general discussion forum.

I wonder if MaximRecoil has ever figured out how to open a can of tuna, or a pickle jar. I’m not sure what his preferences are. 😂

Remember when he used to make endless threads about opening cans of tuna?

I don't remember anything about opening tuna cans, but I do remember him posting about Heinz Pickles.

Re: There's no other website that has a message board for practically …

He created a thread just to argue with people about how to open a can of tuna back in the day. I can’t recall the exact name of the topic though.
