Agreed. We need to get updated on Scanna's fondness of Chloe's giblets!

It wasn't the trolls that made the IMDb message boards bad. It was the moderation that made it so you couldn't eviscerate the trolls - figuratively speaking, of course. <G>
There are 8.2 billion people in the world. 8.19 billion of them have never heard of and don't give a fuck about Charlie Kirk. Get over it.

YOU MEAN DYLAN.

Message to explorer, wheres the next best place we can leave cool messages?

We can all thank the trolls and haters for ruining IMDb. This is nothing new. It's been going on for years now. Taking away the message boards will be the death of this site. It's a damn shame because this is my favorite site. Yeah, the site will still be up but it won't be the same.

Too bad. But, in all sincerity, there are other place for talking about our favorite actors and actresses. Not only IMDB. It's become a troll cave, since years, now.

IMDb is just full of bad excuses.this move will hurt the movie industry, folks are gonna get less interested in movies and actors.especially new up and coming actors. this is actually a disgraceful move by imdb

Thanks to all the trolls and haters for ruining what could have been the 5b4best place to discusss movies and actors/actresses.
Too bad IMDb didn't have enough resources or wanted to let more users help out to moderate all the boards.
Not really going to miss these boards since as IMDb says themselves it's mostly just bad vibes coming here, but it's really a shame when I think how it could have been.
But a real thank you to all those who at least showed respect and actually had an interest in the movies and actors/actresses they talked about.

Below just a small sample of his time spent here on IMDB. I directed this at him after he claimed it was unfair I used his mom's photo as my profile picture and used her first and middle name as my user name. He was exposed as failed grieving writer Rod A Labbe back in May.

Yep, goodbye! This board lost a lot of traffic when Chloe became legal. No more fapping, no more Chloe-bros. Sad.

It's a shame they're shutting down the boards for individual actors, movies and shows. And I guess this means that polls go away, too? Not sure.
Oh well. Keep watching movies, everyone.
