Great
And everyone else too, reaching the big 5 0 0 0 (but people can still sign after the goal is reached)

But I doubt it will do any good.
I'm sure IMDB is too CHEAP to keep the boards going. Just imagine the size of the message board content. They can make a lot more money (because we know that's what it always comes down to) but getting rid of the boards.
Problem is, once they do that, traffic is going to drop of SIGNIFICANTLY. I won't be coming here and I'll be deleting the apps from my phone and tablet.
Once that happens, their revenue stream is going to be reduced.
They're basically killing their cash cow in for the sake of greed.
Too bad. Really BAD business decision.
Trolls may be their excuse but we all know there are plenty of ways to control that to a manageable level. No way to eliminate it but you can reduce it. That's how you can tell it's just an EXCUSE.
The real reason is to dump all of the message board content, bring their server usage to a more manageable level and (they think) increase their profits.
Just watch them start to eliminate content that isn't getting enough "hits". Like obscure or foreign films, deceased b list actors. As traffic sinks and revenue with it they'll start to delete content in an attempt to keep the cash flowing.
What a pity. -

Its at 7054 signatures right now, but thats just a drop in the bucket as
to what it would take to get the big money corp to change their mind.
Charge everybody ten bucks a year! I'd pay it.
Pffft, my suspension of disbelief has higher standards than that. -

If IMDB themselves made a poll of course the number would be greater than that, it's still pretty good for someone with 28 friends on facebook and 12 followers on twitter.
