moviechat.org it is then. Off to a good start. There's a TON of posts there already, in addition to the migrated content.
Engineering magic! Sounds like he scraped it all. Really impressed with their work.

Does moviechat have better moderation or at least an updated Terms of Service than IMDb?

Countless posts are missing from all the once very long threads. There isn't a single one who now has more than 9 posts. Really sad, hope it can be fixed.

I couldn't give a shit about the handful of anti-PC, anti SJW, ALT Right BS comments.
I care about the millions of insightful discussions on cinemma buy passionate movie lovers accumulated over the corse of 15 years completely wiped off the face of the earth. No other forum on the entire net provides the level of depth and discussion that IMDB offered not even Reddit, this is fucking censorship gone mad.

I'm going to be honest... I think I only used to look at IMDb message boards to confirm that others found an actress attractive. This would always be confirmed and by posters much creepier than me, and then I wouldnt feel so bad about myself for doing the search.

Because for every bullshit post there were millions of other threads dissecting every single aspect of a film for millions of other movies, I remember posting a thread on a movie back in 2007 only to find the thread still active and well almost 10 years later. There was an unique active discussion board for every single film you can think of. NO other website on the entire net has or can ever provide that, almost two decades of people insight, thoughts an opinions on an art form erased, I don't see how anyone who at least understands or respects movies can see this as a good thing.

Second only to YouTube comments. It will not be missed.

Fred Savage and Howie Mandel? That movie is GREAT!
Few threads on it already here https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/15138-little-monsters/discuss nothing compared to the backlog of threads on imdb, but its something.
IMDB boards have a bit less relevance now, but i have to say in the past i used to instantly go there if i didnt understand the ending to a movie or something. Was usually a really good help. I mean, i still kind of did it, since i cant always rely on GAF for having the most up to date conversation on something. A shame.
moviechat.org + themoviedb.org = don't need imdb.com anymore
Agreed. I don't think I'll contribute to imdb anymore (I occasionally added movie information in the past).
With the deletion of the message boards and all the fake reviews tricking people into spending money to see newly released bad movies, imdb is basically just a marketing tool now.
To get more accurate opinions regarding new (and old) movies, rottentomatoes.com is a much better source.

Yup that's the movie..loved it as a kid but seeing it now I had no patience for Maurice hooping around like an A.D.D. asshole. When I just saw this thread pop back up on the front page with people discussing the moviedb site that was the first thing I checked..since it was the last thing I looked for.
Pretty cool that they saved some of this stuff just wish it was every post/thread.
I will always remember being the only one to ever post on the Arthur J. Nascarella board calling him a "cheese eating rat" after it was revealed in The Sopranos finale that he was working with the FBI. Looks like that was not preserved:
