I don't have the slightest problem of them using their own forums. But being the tech guy I am, I do see the problem of running a huge forum inside a free account on proboards. Sooner or later they'll get into trouble. I started several projects from the ground up and I had to endure problem after problem to learn the basics. Now I know the things needs to be done so the project don't enter trouble waters afterwards.
I did gave my advice, they all agreed to make a new forum. I did the new forum and now they are all debating. I can only say this:
- I did my best to offer the best technical solution to the board problem that can grow huge in size.
- I have faith in my technical experience and I know I can manage this without having to depend on outside services.
- I pay the licenses to the software, I hire personal and I rent servers without asking anyone to help me do all of this stuff.
Now let the community decide where does they want to start a really huge community. I am only offering an option and I have no problems in sharing the community with other boards, I am not pretending to be the asnwer, I just offered a good planned option and one that i have faith its gonna work right from the begining.

About the Logo
Well, I'm going to modify the logo to be more concise and I want to be as away as possible from the "imdb" brand, I don't want legal problems.
I was thinking calling the logo simply "IM" from Internet Media with the Discussion Forums on bottom.
Other alternatives are, using: IMD and "forums" on bottom.
What do you think?
For the colors, I'm leaning towards a red, similar to Netflix and I'm going to style this theme for that change.

Wanting to feel at home does not mean one is incapable of change. IMDB is going away. We're here. We're not desperately clinging to the idea that they'll change their mind. We, migrating here, are part of the solution.
I'm just saying, when I go over to the GoT Boards, and it had a similar theme, it gave me a sense of nostalgia which softened the blow. Maybe it doesn't do that for you. That's fine.

I'm fine without the IMDb look - but damn does the look make me smile.
Indeed they will.
Expect some weird color changes while I style the theme. The main color it's gonna be Red & Black so , I'm still going through the code and changing things.
I will change those horrible bubles once I finish with the colors :)

- Minor fix to all the colors, it all looks more natural now.

Are they gone now? I don't see them anymore.
less wide?, I reduced width from "full screen" to 1150px :)

Any suggestions for a more suitable color?
Still a lot of work to do for the red to look perfect :)

That would be good because they're rather annoying to look at and I doubt anyone would use them.
