We can take it a step further and delete our content too. I know that might be difficult for some, but I don't look at movie reviews as being something that important. If they have a major drop in traffic, plus a sizeable loss in content . . . It will change this NAZI behavior from these people. Amazing how the Left calls themselves "liberals" & "Progressives." Like everything with them, it is the opposite!

No. If I could bothered, or had the time, I'd try to sabotage it somehow, but I don't, so I'll just migrate and do the other stuff I do.

maybe a little. wiki is far more informative about movies, their productions etc than imdb will be without the boards.
But there are some minor details that still exist here that I don't find on wiki or other easy sources. Stuff like release schedule, filming dates, blu-ray versions, and sometimes trivia.
But overall my traffic to this site will drop precipitously and I will almost completely stop buying numerous blu-rays and film-books from amazon from this month - after having had it as one of my two go-to sites for film related stuff for almost two decades.

I doubt it was for political reasons. It might be to keep the server costs down and stop all that heat from them going into the environment.

Once the info on this gets transfered to another site, which will happen, screw IMDb! I honestly think the reason for shutting down the message boards is for political reasons. "Liberal" entertainment industry doesn't like that their globalist, Democratic Party, thinly veiled, agenda driven garbage gets trashed for being the fascist propaganda that it is. The more they try to control people, the more will leave. It's to their own demise. They're not realizing that the message boards create traffic all through the site. Oh well, dumb elitist pigs who erroneously use the words liberal & progressive to describe themselves. Oddly the independents & conservatives are leaving to make a site with more LIBERAL policies. There will be even the so called "liberals" leaving as those idiotic SJW's love their moral vanity trips that they will no longer be able to subject their victims to. Sorry if you're one of the cult.

Staying off will help keep traffic low; the opposite of what they think dumping the boards will create
