thank you for helping further fragmentation of IMDb alternatives by creating dumb forum like tons of other generic forums when there is REAL alternative movie database with discussions for each movie called The Movie database themoviedb.org run since 2008 and edited by its own users like Wikipedia

it's nice you created searchable archive of IMDb discussions though guys at Archive are doing same anyway, not posing as alternative and I am not feeling very happy sometime took 14 years of my IMDb posts and put them on his website without my agreement

You are fully within your legal right (based on most countries data protection laws - I do not know where you are), to reach out to MovieChat.org and request formally your data be deleted. If it bothers you that much, I fully recommend you do so.

However, surely rule #1 of the internet is, once you've posted it, it's out there forever. Are you going to go around to every cache server, and everyone's browser cache and demand that your comments be deleted from there as well ?

should not it be the other way? first he should have consent to publish that data and not that he illegally copy data and publish them and i must perform some action when he did some illegal?

as much as i hate IMDb shutting down boards i hope they will close this illegal website

OTOH i have no problem with recognized Archive.org instead of this solo thief

Please stop your trolling. Nothing is being "stolen".
