Glenn Ford : 13 threads?!

13 threads?!

Wtf? He deserves many more.

Re: 13 threads?!

You're right.

Re: 13 threads?!

I think occasionally imdb clears them out every once in a while, which is why there are not that many threads on here - having said that, Glenn Ford was the best - I will always check the movie listings to see if a Glenn Ford movie is on during a particular week, watching a Glenn Ford movie makes my day, and I was very happy 2000 to catch Secret of Convict Lake today for the first time on Fox Movie Channel.

Re: 13 threads?!

imdb only clears threads if they exceed a certain number of pages -- that happened for example to a thread I had on Katharine Hepburn. Unfortunately there are not many fans posting on Glenn Ford.

I think that is because he is not the type of star to attract a lot of fan notice especially nowadays -- little scandal, relatively normal, not really a great actor but certainly deserving of notice and remembrance-

I am watching him in CIMARRON right now and think what a fine actor he could be in a good role-- at 44 years old , he made a great Yancy.

Sorry, but that is incorrect.
IMdB has several criteria for clearing threads.
One is at the request of family members, which this may have been.
There were a great many links on the old board. I don't know when imdb emptied this place but I was here back in 2006 and started a "Happy 90th Birthday" thread. Since I was in email communication with his son Peter at the time, in my OP I let everyone know that Glenn would actually get to read them. On May 1st I sent Peter the thread.

The board was about 3 pages long at the time.
Why was it emptied? I really do not know.

Re: 13 threads?!

where did you obtain this information about imdb policies?? .

Re: 13 threads?!

I know someone that asked to have it done, their reason or reasons have been and will remain, private.

But jsyk that they can and will remove things at their own discretion...

From the TOC:

IMDb has the right but not the obligation to monitor and edit or remove any activity or content.

and:

Visitors may post reviews, comments, and other content; and submit suggestions, ideas, comments, questions, or other information, so long as the content is not illegal, obscene, threatening, defamatory, invasive of privacy, infringing of intellectual property rights, or otherwise injurious to third parties.

Good enough?

Re: 13 threads?!

But how do you know threads aren't removed for space issues?

Hepburn had dozen of pages for example , just like other major celebrities and the thread that I saw disappear was on her stage show COCO - nothing obscene ,etc - so just like here on Ford , we don't know why certain threads vanish
