Did you know that IMDb has eliminated their message boards? The entire, decade-plus trove of feedback from the global community of movie enthusiasts, gone forever!
Yeah, it sucks. I learned some interesting stuff on those boards.
But on the other hand I've probably never seen a single thread there that didn't have at least one deleted post. I can imagine what a pain it must've been to moderate those boards.
I spent some time on the IMDb myself back when I got really interested in how films were made. I have some good times there, but mostly I think of the boards the same way Obi-Wan thought of Mos Eisley spaceport.
