For about seven years or so I frequented many boards on IMDb, but mainly Film General. It was one half a films board, that is about films, with titles, and genre tags and whatnot, the other half a film board, that is a community of users from the film of life who shared their opinions and ideas on anything and everything. It truly was "film general," despite the the indignation of certain stiff users who could not accept the trolling that became more and more frequent on the board. The trolling was the best on the internet, in that it was actually amusing and often well hidden, with numerous personas and characters provoking and entertaining with ridiculous and absurd opinions. Later on, the board became infested with pornographic spam posts, doxxing, and call out threads. Again harmless stuff, but also easily avoidable with the use of the ignore button, the endlessly cloning troll accounts a mere inconvenience to those who did not wish to indulge them. The board was also host to many great discussions through the years. It was fun. That is all.
RIP IMDb message boards. Good riddance Benman.
