Sounds good, when you mentioned horror and sci-fi movies I kind of wish I hung out more near the genre boards probably a lot of fun conversations there!

I posted all over there. Classic Who and New Who, horror films and television, all the superhero shows and movies, The Big Bang Theory...pretty much any show I watched, I participated in their board. What I don't miss about the superhero boards there were the non-comic book fans. See, I really don't have a problem with someone being a fan of a show without being a fan of the source material. But, there seemed to be a lot of those people who used to come in with no other agenda other than to start fights with fanboys like myself. "I don't read comics, and never will, and these shows aren't comics, so eff off!" Those people can suck a bowl full of dicks.
I think I mentioned it here before, but there used to be two chicks who used to haunt the Big Band Theory boards, and the only thing they did was bad mouth Kaley Cuoco and her character of Penny. Like, that was 99% of their board history. And when they got called out on how they basically spent all their time bashing this one person, they would attempt to turn it around and tell the other posters that they had nothing better to do. Some folks need to be monitored when they go on the interwebs.

Oh, there were some really great conversations. The genre/cult stuff had some of the best threads.Sounds good, when you mentioned horror and sci-fi movies I kind of wish I hung out more near the genre boards probably a lot of fun conversations there!

The cult movie board was one that I actually went to every now and then and, to a certain degree, posted on. It seemed like decent place.

Were you still checking out the Flash board toward the end? It really got insane. There was a group of folks who were basically begging for Iris to be killed off (because even though she's a huge part of the comics, these "fans" were stupid), and a couple who basically just highjacked their threads just to call everyone racists if they didn't like her. Kinda glad they went down.

My favorite boards were the Doctor Who ones. Least favorite? South Park. But you didn't ask that, did you? I just can't complain about it enough.
I do remember liking the Grimm boards and Family Guy wasn't bad.

I don't actually ever remember going on that board. Least favorite because of lack of talk, or because of idiots?
I believe I asked if you knew what time the 3:15 bus arrives. Oh, wait...never mind.
I'm the same way about overcooked vegetables. Why do people cook them till they're limp and lifeless?
Yeah I remember that. Don't miss it at all. By the time IMDB finally decided to close their boards 3/4 of many of the forums were "You are ignoring this poster" for me.
Reminds me of my old minister who would tell the story every year at Christmas about the calls he received asking when the midnight service started.
His reply - "11:30"

I know it would have saved some of my sanity to just ignore people there. I had a problem with feeding the trolls.
Brilliant.

Idiots, idiots, idiots. Idiots galore! With the exception of the political boards, this was the worst assortment of trolls I have ever encountered. The board wasn't always like that, it just happened the last year or so.

Been an IMDB member since Aug 2001 and I was all over those boards, only one account though, no socks. Throwaway accounts are for throwaway opinions. Once upon a time it was possible to have really interesting conversations, some of which I wish I had saved. A few times with people who worked behind the scenes and I learned interesting things, not gossip, but about how certain things were done. Despite all the trolls, I still really miss the boards.

~ Me too. I was constantly in the those boards. In majority of the new/old films I've seen, music, books, tv & etc. I still miss it, especially whenever I go to the IMDB website.

Yeah,they were fun...but after the final chapter was released it wasn't fun anymore.Sounds fun. I don't think I ever went to those boards, but sounds good anyway!!
Any of the horror movies I loved their boards, soapbox, classic movies. I also floated around o other threads to see what was going on in different areas.

On IMDb, I would comment in a particular movie's comments section from time to time, but the only dedicated board I followed was the Asian Cinema discussion. I had a lot to offer, and learned a lot also. I've been an active member of the Asian film board here since the get-go.

Remembering IMDB...
It has been more than a year since the end of IMDB message boards and I was wondering what do you all feel about this website right now as it has changed so much in the meanwhile...
As a IMDB member for 10 years who used this website in a daily basis, I must say that letterboxd has been such a much better alternative for me. I like to read some of the top and usually short reviews. I never cared before about reading reviews on IMDB, I also like the diary thing, I can check that I've seen 58 movies this year. I prefer the layout on letterboxd too. Simple with all information that I need. Now, IMDB makes me scroll through all people who participated in the movie just to find the duration of that movie. I keep voting on IMDB because the advanced movie search is the only useful thing it still has,
I've also been listening to movie podcasts on Youtube, something that I never cared before. I recomment ColliderVideos.
