So if you're been recently on imdb you could have seen they are closing the boards on Feb. 20th.
Here's part of the statement:
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... 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.
To me this yells "Ghostbusters" because this was I think when that place was brought to the public eye. Critics who mostly give it favorable reviews raved about supposed "sexist trolls" on imdb that are leading hate campaign against that movie only because it has all-female cast. For instance you can see Mark Kermode's review of that movie on youtube to see what I mean.
So I guess it is better for corporate heads to shush down places like that where people can quickly out the shysters.
