Dear mr Col Needham, although we understand that there is a lot of people that can't deal with trolls and the like the fact remain that none of us are forced to post on the messageboards, we do so out of own will.
It is a great way for us to speak in detail about movies in a way that we can't in any other outlet with similar minded peoples. And other topics as well.
The beauty of analyzing film and getting a deeper understanding of them by coming together and bringing up ideas of what a story is REALLY about in a movie that very few people have seen perhaps none in our social circles. Or perhaps finding friends that you otherwise would have no interaction with. Or just recommend obscure independent films that no one has heard about because it wasn't funded by a major company that could afford advertising.
So while we acknowledge that there are negatives with the boards the positives way outweighs the negatives.
So please let us keep our IMDB.

The momentum is undeniable now. It proves just how much these boards matter to the film community.

Proper movie discussions simply aren't possible in the comment section on social media sites. I would hate to see the message boards dying completely and killing the only useful platform for movie fans to exchange their views with like-minded people.
I have loved going to IMDb for over 10 years. These boards are not just important for sentimentality, but also in function. At the very least archive all of what is there, as it is an important resource and quite shame that it would be gone forever.
I don't use any social media outlets. The message boards let me discuss with others the content and suppositions that I would never have thought of but adds to my pleasure of the program. Closing the boards is short sighted and needs to be revisited.
If you have to remove the message boards you should just remove them for actors and actresses (in particular) since they are the main target of the trolls. The message boards for movies and tv shows remain the best place to discuss the shows we love.
I love the message boards. Yes some posters say stupid, ugly things but there a great and interesting conversations that go on. I have no interest in joining Twitter or other sites and enjoy coming here for comments. Please keep the message boards.

By no means a daily contributor to the message boards I have used them for the last 10-15 years. I've always considered them a resource unparalleled on the internet regarding movies and tv, there is nowhere quite like imdb for its breadth of content.
