I love the boards and they are the only reason I use IMDB.

I know there is a certain toxic element to some the boards on IMDB, but I don't think disabling them altogether is the answer. Where else can you go to discuss movies on a movie-by-movie basis? My ritual for years has been to come to the boards after watching a movie or a TV show to read or discuss things with other users, or even sometimes the director or writer. I definitely won't be using IMDB nearly as much without this! Please, come up with a way to fix the board system instead of giving up on it!

Please do not cancel the message boards. they are what makes imdb different from all movie sites in the internet. After a movie i always come to IMDB, rate the movie and spend hours in the message boards.

Taking away the message boards will take away theories, discussions, and overall communications about the art of film. The message boards allow for views to channel across the world and for interpretations to be discussed with others who have a deep love for the masterpieces that may have changed their lives. I'm begging, please do not remove the message boards.

Why? Where will we get info on older films? On Twitter? Come on!!! WORST move ever... Be warned, no message > less visits. Come on, Fakecroop IS NOT a message board!!!

Movies need their own specific message board, where the hell are people supposed to comment?

Although I don't post on the message boards, I frequently read them to get others' opinions and sometimes to get clarification on something I might have missed. I don't like seeing all the name calling either, but there has to be a way to keep the boards open while eliminating the BS. Automatic removal if more than 5 complaints or something with a banning of the offending poster's IP address and IMBd profile. Don't let the few trolls ruin it for all others. As far as I can tell, nobody has been killed over words posted on your message boards. Thanks for taking the time to read and consider my opinion on the matter.

No message boards - no click on your page! I can get my information about movies on wikipedia and can watch trailers on youtube. Closing the message board make your redundant!

IMDB is an invaluable source of information and a place like no other for us film anthusiasts who come together in one single space to comment, learn, analyze and increase our passion for film. Please.

please keep these boards up its not fair that their being taken down due to the fact that people are complaining about the bullying going on why should we have to be bullied when we didn't do anything wrong?

Without the message boards, there is no reason to visit IMDB as often as I do. Keep them open, please.

Am an avid film buff and have been using this for years. To take it down, and lose the huge amount of fans would be a travesty, Please reconsider
