Exactly What I Was Looking For!

Ever since IMDB first announced that they were closing the message boards, I began looking for someone to BACK UP all of their threads. Not like these other sites that are just creating new forums.

For me, the real value of the IMDB message boards was that I could read through all of the old discussions about the movie (sometimes from several years ago!). The problem with the other copycat forums is they're starting from nothing, so it will take YEARS to build up to what IMDB once was.

Honestly I never posted on the IMDB forums, and may not here either (I'm more of a reader), but the fact that this site has all of the old posts backed up is amazing.

If I could request just one thing, could you PLEEEEEEASE add actors as well? With that, it would be perfect.

Welcome!

Jim, the site owner, was fairly recently able to restore all -- or virtually all -- of the old IMDB threads and posts. It's wonderful!

There already are boards for actors, but as I recall, he had some kind of trouble restoring all of the threads and posts there, but will do in the future.

It would be fantastic if he could add the threads/posts on the actors and actresses too!

That is the most key part for me as it helps me learn a lot about them, especially the old Hollywood stars!

Great job overall by Jim!
