IMDb shut down its own Message Boards, 2001-2017

Just noticed, as I finished watching a movie and wanted to look up, what kind of shitposting was going on in the IMDb
forums. As i'd usually do just to satisfy my curiosity and maybe see the question answered i didn't even need/have ...

Probably a good article: https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2017/02/rip-imdb-message-boards.html
“When a site has 250 million users, then even if a small vocal minority frequents the boards, it will feel that there is activity in the boards…if the user activity has been declining, and the monetizing potential was not there, then it makes sense that Amazon would let that activity migrate to Facebook and Twitter,” Ipeirotis said.

Personally i don't overly care for sites/news where common users can't slam out their opinion, no matter how pointless/stupid/unqualified -
while still in the framework of a civilized manner to express their free speech which is already restrained by all sorts of conformations.

Too bad ... i see IMDb for myself soon to be substituted by a another site that more or less offers the same, which no doubt there already is, but i haven't bothered to look else - rotten tomatoes maybe? Oh yeah movie watched: Arrival 2016 - quite nice, liked it. Feel free to post your opinion, thoughts and conspiracies why they opted to shut it down ... and if you'd know a IMDb alternative.

Btw. aren't movie trailers the worst spoilers imaginable? Unlike games, there is no gameplay - but a story development
which kinda gives a lot away, if your somewhat attentive and you're not viewing The Fast and the Furious Movie Trailer. /ö/
