At the moment I'm only posting here and on thb. Imdb2 was fun for a while but the topics get boring and the traffic has been decreasing.Guess the trolling is setting in there. While I like this board there just aren't many topics here that interest me. And if I post a topic and don't get much feedback I don't feel like putting much more effort in it next time.
I hope either moviechat or tmdb can offer the diversity I'm seeking for in the long haul. For now I'm just using thb for the challenge, shoutbox and check TE once a day.

Some mooned over to ICM forums. I find these rather boring and quite high brow and there aren't genre boards like the old imdb. And others like psychotronicbeatnik (and I think peeptoad and perhaps Smerd too) use it for the challenges. There is lot of challenges there actually too many.
For me TE and moviemeter.nl are enough. there is a few members I would love to bring over but not sure if they like TE's format but I can always try.

There is definitely some people who might be interested if I tell them this place isn't that strict on swear words, that you can talk abot pretty much everything and especially horror. Since I mostly do horror related games and challenges on moviemeter the horror fans are the ones I'm in touch with most. I'm not sure how easy it is for them to switch between mother tongue Dutch and English. Most however I think can watch English movies without subs so yeah that is not going to be a problem.

Moviemeter does not have the nested comments, however when you get quoted or tagged by someone you do get a notification (much like here when someone responds to your comment). I think nested comments would not work well there because certainly game topics could get very long with dozens of pages as they often consist of short replies. Also after 24 hours (I think) you cannot delete or alter your comments any more unless you ask a moderator to do so. This means that when doing a challenge you have to make a new post for each day you register movies and not like here where you claim a spot and alter it as you progress. And even though I prefer to have everything in 1 comment, new posts allow for people to do a review. But well there is also separate movie pages where this can be done. The reasons I organise those challenges is more to get in touch with fellow horror fans, discussions, giving and receiving recommendations. Yeah there is some general horror topic but it's not really active (of course with horror related games who needs it). There is quite some sections and even a genre section but this section isn't further divided so feels more like a general movie discussion board. I'm just not interested in most of the non-horror topics (which is like 99% of them lol) and people have a tendency to post lists (boooring) and there is I believe an annual top 1000 to which the users can contribute. I just read a few comments, the pseudo intellectual talk it triggers yuck.

Also the moderators are not exactly impartial, definitely have their favorite users who they support and defend. There is actually a few borderline trolls but because their arguments or tastes are cool with some others well they do have unwritten privileges.

ICM is I check movies basically started out as a site with a movie database and you can check the movies you have seen. That is the main reason I registered there. I registered at the board too but well it's as you said it's so generic and the topics well yeah boring. So I just use it to check of movies. And for creating (watch)lists I use letterboxd, nice format it has.

So yes even with low traffic I prefer TE, it's just more relaxed not so much restricted by rules like the other places. On moviemeter you need to check if there is already an existing topic, always need to be careful not posting links to watch or download movies freely.

Same with me I have also given up on the fb groups 1 the format isn't really that handy 2 some have too many topics and often about the same (there is a search function but most are just too lazy to use it) 3 with others it's the opposite, hardly any topics 4 many reactions are like/dislike so no real discussions so what is the point
My last involvement was in a fb grop doing the October horror challenge which had a few of the old imdb visitors like Hey Sweden. And even though it was perfectly possible to keep your progress in the same topic/post quite some people made a new topic for every movie they watched, crazy and I pitied the one having to make up the results in the end.
