Why Do I Keep Coming Back To IMDForum?
Last night, I was trying to think of why I keep coming back, and still post new threads on here. Then it dawned on me, this site is completely new. It means we have a fresh start. We can mold this place however we want. Post a bunch of new stuff, topics, and whatever else we like.
I'm on some of the other forums, and was looking at many of the threads. On most sites the threads in some areas that are mostly dead, or are just blank on other forums. I noticed this on the forum sites that have some parts of the old IMDB boards. Some of the threads are months old, and no new postings in them. These sites do not have all the posts from the very beginning of the site. They might maybe have the last three or four months of the IMDB boards. One thing is none of the sites have any posts from the very last 24 hours of the IMDB, but a week or two before the deletion.
True, the other forums have the numbers, but most of the members are not posting. I think everyone was running around, trying on new sites, trying to find the site that was damn near similar to IMDB. Maybe this is how some of the board sites have the numbers? People followed the old board, hoping everyone was on there.
I also noticed if you talk about one site, many are willing to bash the site you're promoting. Instead of letting people jump around, and check things out for themselves. It's easier to say well, that sites dead, and no one posts. I love the scare tactic card, people use on some of the posts. If all the forum sites were to completely merged than you might get another IMDB. The thing I sort of like is all these boards have a different crowd with them. Even TCM's boards are well boring at times, and not many of postings going on there.
Somethings I noticed and turns me away from most sites.
On the other forum sites I'm noticing a bunch of Trolls popping up. Instead of blocking or deleting the trolls, most are welcoming them back. Wait a minute, you guys whined how they hurt the boards, but yet want them back. I think some people like poking the bear with a stick.
The bathroom sounds or what sounds people make in the bedroom posts. Why do people have to post that on there? I often wonder if some of the posts are that of a kid or even a teenager. I have even had people message me and do up the old A/S/L message. These posts are sometimes in the general boards.
Some of the forums to me feel like a clusterfuck pile, and are everywhere on some of the sites. There's no order, just have to dig through the pages of postings till you find what you want.
Bad moderators are another one that push me away from some sites. If a mod isn't doing there job, then why stay on sites? Maybe the mods get a nut off watching people fight, or posting inappropriate stuff?
What I'm mostly pointing out is we have a damn good site here. It's clean, warped, sarcastic, informative, non trolled, humoured bunch, fandom fans, and nicely moded. This site could take off. It has what people are wanting, and saying about on other forums. I just wish the nay-sayers would allow the others to explore, and if they want to jump, let them. If on the other sites people keep posting how they don't like this and that. Yet, nothing is happening, and they're still on that site complaining. Quit posting how you wish that site was like the old board. Yes, I know no board will ever live up to the old IMDB board, but we can start new, fresh, and build something fun. I won't stop posting this sites link, and telling people about this great site. I still bring it up on FB groups, and the other forums. I ignore the naysayers, and want people to make their own choice, and not go with the herd.
Why do you come here?
