Seems stupid to me, they were pretty much the easiest, most centralized way to find diverse discussion about movies, especially older or obscure movies that would otherwise require tons of googling and link reading before finding anything worth reading, and a lot of times might not lead to anything at all after the time sink of searching. I know there was a lot of stupidity, trolling and repetitiveness in the IMDB forums, but these were easy enough to identify and filter out once you got used to using em, and putting up with having to read some dumb comments far outweighed being able to read some discussion about some hidden gem movies from years ago. It was also interesting at times seeing what people thought of certain movies around the times they were first released compared to how people perceive them nowadays. Oh well, at least it eliminates my one use for another advertising/promotional site and I don't have to visit there anymore.

Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.

They were one of the worst forums on the internet, populated with people with Quentin Tarantino quote signatures arguing over when Actress X first got fat. And this was in 2005.

In fairness, that's just GBS c. 2004 without the photoshops.

Or hot how such-and-such actress was back when she was on 'Unhappily Ever After.' Yeah, the forums were good to be tossed.
