> The IMDb message boards were a good way to get some additional insight after watching a movie. Or at least give me a good laugh at the trolls. :)

Totally agree. I often also went there before watching a TV show or movie to get an idea what it was about or if I'd like it (though wary of spoiler potential), whereas I almost never read the reviews there, which I find are often far more useless than the message board comments.

After they're gone IMDB will be just a soulless movie listing site, with no reason to visit other than to check a mark out of ten, and no reason to stick around afterwards. :/
