IMPORTANT:
IMDb is the world's most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content.
As part of our ongoing effort to continually evaluate and enhance the customer experience on IMDb,
we have decided to disable IMDb's message boards on February 20, 2017. This includes the Private Message system.
After in-depth discussion and examination, we have concluded that IMDb's message boards are no longer providing
a positive, useful experience for the vast majority of our more than 250 million monthly users worldwide.
The decision to retire a long-standing feature was made only after careful consideration and was based on data and traffic.

Re: TMDB
For those interested, TMDB https://www.themoviedb.org TMDB shouldn't be counted out yet. It looks like a bunch of people have showed up there recently because they are looking for a place to discuss individual movies/actors/etc.
Here's a link to a page that shows recent posts across the site:
https://www.themoviedb.org/discuss
It's still unclear if they will create general discussion forums. My reading between the lines is that they probably will, but it will be a small subset of the IMDb boards. (Personally, I think it's a mistake for the other three sites trying to mimic IMDb to have things like Soapbox, Watercooler, Politics, Religion, etc.).
One of the major discussions across all these sites at this point is about "how to moderate". Lots of jockeying for power.
TMDB is a one man operation. The guy seems nice enough and may be a brilliant coder but I think his UI skills/taste are very weak. I use the site exclusively for getting movie posters--they have the best ones because there seems to be no concern for copyright infringement. I have to click and scroll and click and scroll and click and scroll and click and scroll and click and scroll to see all of them. I pointed this out to him and asked if it was acceptable to him, or could use improvement. He said he'd look at it. That was well over a year ago. I think he thinks it's acceptable because like so many "designers" these days who have no sense of User Experience, they design something to look good in a static state, with very little concern for how it gets used. Apple is the worst at this these days. Oops. Soapbox. Anyway, check it out if you are interested in a place for individual discussions.

Re: TMDB
Interesting all the anarchy and civil war and feudal power struggles that have been unleashed by the sudden collapse of the imdb empire.
I can't log in to the imdf page today. How long am I going to be patient and tolerant about that? Not long.
I guess I'll see how things shake out in a month or so and check in wherever you're posting on a regular basis.

Re: TMDB
I just checked in there half-an-hour ago and didn't have any problems with access. I do get a lot of error messages on imdb though - like I'm entering onto a ship that's breaking up.
I can't log in to the imdf page today.
Re: TMDB
The apocalypse is near..I also got several d'oh pages today, think that's one way of them telling us "start packing your bags now..." lol.
I would encounter occasional error pages on IMDf too but it would get cured after a few attempts. The longest I could not log in there was around 2 hours, but that was when they just started the site so I don't know if it has something to do with their system calibration or whatever.

Re: TMDB
They rebooted the system a couple times over the last day or so. I'd get logged out but could always log back in.
I will alert them.
They are dismantling IMDb as we speak. I've gotten many D'oh pages here. Sads.

Not worth visiting at this point, nobody's there yet, but maybe worth a bookmark for the future:
The Movie Message Board http://moviemb.com
They have the same Categories of IMDb general Discussion. Their hook is that you can request a forum for anything you want.
I don't think that's gonna work.

Our goal is to provide a host of general message boards, which can be found below, but also to provide individual message boards for every movie, tv show, and actor/actress. We are adding new boards as fast as we can, and we encourage everyone to use our Movie Forum Request form if the movie you want to talk about is not available.
