The message boards are part of the movie experience. I enjoy reading user comments/questions upon completing a film. This is a terrible decision!

Even preserving the high-traffic boards like "I Need to Know" (where I spend the majority of my time online) would be a saving grace.

This is completely ridiculous and insane, the boards are one of the best discussion places for movies online, even with all the trolls. I will not be using IMDb anymore if they do away with the boards, all the info they have there is on other sites, the boards are one of the most useful things on the site.

Please keep the message boards. While a lot of it was junk, there were often plenty of comments filled with worthwhile trivia and answers to various questions.

The best part about IMDB is the message board, I have no other reason to go to the website.

Please reconsider. I really enjoy discussing my favourite shows with other fans on the boards here.

Please reconsider. Some of us, many of us, use these boards every day.

Please don't close the boards! Not everyone is a troll....

I am very upset about this decision, which came out of the blue and with no warning at all. Please don't shut down the boards; they're pretty much the only thing I use on IMDb and are the main way I get information about the shows I'm interested in.

I am not sure the reasoning behind this, but I am sure there has to be another way to deal with any issues you are having with the message boards.

The current message boards are one of the main reasons I come to the IMDB site.

Shutting down the message boards is the most boneheaded move IMDB could make.

I use the message boards daily, for plot points I don't quite get, information on obscure movies/tv shows/actors and actresses, and to see what others think about a particular show or movie. Living in an isolated area, your boards give me a life line to the world of film and television. Please don't take it away.

There are childish people who do nothing but argue and flame others, but there is more good than bad in the forums. It is the best source for information about actors, movies, and tv shows. There is no site that compares to it. To lose the IMDB forums is a huge, irreplaceable loss.

The only reason I visit IMDb is for the message boards.

I've spent many years on this board, and yes, there are a lot of trolls on it, but that's the same with anything on the internet. Don't let them ruin things for the good/sensible people on the boards.

Please keep the message boards, I like reading them and having theories and opinions all in one place rather than spread out all over social media. I like hearing the opinions of people I don't know.

IMDb member for 10 years. Without the message boards I would see no reason to return to the site.
