I think the real negativity was that certian major motion picture studios got tired of IMDb users warning each other and the world that some of their movies were bombs and thus driving Audiences away.

We'll miss the Message Board itself, the discussions and the various viewpoints that were presented.
Big mistake eliminating them Amazon/IMDB.
and Facebook is NOT the same as message boards for each individual movie.. very bad decision on your part.

The fact is, if you love movies, the BEST place to find a similar movie to one you just saw was in the message boards. I can't tell you how many movies I found by going through the boards of movies I enjoyed something about.
So why come here now? I can get better ratings elsewhere. I don't care about User Reviews, and frankly, who could, except the person that wrote it?
I guess I'll have to search out individual threads on Reddit. This was a stupid decision.
In the early days of the site, the Message Boards were what gave this site a hook. I'm kind of shocked this decision would ever have been made. This was social media BEFORE social media.
You've turned the EVERYTHING site about movies into a Police Blotter site about who did what when. I've never had a good suggestion on Netflix or any other automated site, and I had a lot of misses in the message boards, but FAR more hits.
Disgusted with this decision.

I can't guarantee that it will be on the homepage but it would be eligible this way. :-)

I wish Amazon would get a new CEO, one who is more friendly to the message boards. The current CEO is a sepulchral fuddyduddy who has to have everything by the rules, and can't stand any sign of vitality. IMDB and Amazon will die bit by bit like the hair on his head.

Now, IMDB has shown its ugly side by totally disrespecting this part of IMDB community life, and throwing all our valuable input in the garbage can.
Yes, I miss that valuable information. Yes, I miss my fellow movie lovers. And it hurts.
But what I miss mostly is my love for IMDB. It has vanished, like the love for an unfaithful, disrespectful and cruel ex-partner.
