A few days ago, Internet Movie Database announced they were going to be closing their message board features on February 20th. Yeah, the jerks who run that website had literally given their entire 250 million user base only a few weeks' heads up before it's all just gone! I've been a member of that site since freaking March, 2003! 14 years of my internet experience and of having a guaranteed place to talk to many of my online friends, and it's just going away in a few weeks!
I am both saddened and angered by this turn of events, mostly because of the short notice its just been dumped in our laps. They couldn't give us a six months notice, bare minimum? Screw those guys! IDMb has got to have one of the most incompetent and apathetic Administration team I've ever seen in my life and instead of addressing the long-standing issues with the site, all of which are simple fixes, they'd rather just shut the forums down. They'll pay for it, of course, because many of us only went there FOR the message boards. So when the mass exodus happens, they'll find they just shot all their own toes off.
Sorry, I just had to vent. Not sure if this belongs here in the Fridge or in the "After Midnight". Feel free to move it if fits better there, Mods.
