We used to have some more regular contributers here who posted some good shit, then vanished off the face of the earth. People like BarkingBaphomet, Shadow-345, iceflamez, Atomichotwings, klownz, RedHawk10, sethyeah, slasherfan85, AlcoholicNinja, Moffat, and all those others who rarely/never posted, but at least lurked. Anybody know what hole they all crawled into?

I'd think that some of the political talk scared 'em off, but even after the government calmed down and there was no talk of this shit, that didn't seem to make a difference anymore. People stayed gone, and things got a bit stagnant.

So where did they all migrate to? Internet addicts like that don't simply "get a life" and move on, or move to facebook. Most of the aforementioned users don't even frequent the other imdb knockoff sites, so wtf happened to the age of internet forums? How do we get that back? How do we bring the old blood back here, and how do we get new blood?

I think of this stuff sometimes, and it makes me sad. I miss the days when there was too much activity for me to keep up with, and people were excited to see what an alternative website could offer them. I guess they didn't find it here.

What I noticed when IMDb went away was how literally dozens of people joined here and never did anything with their accounts. In hindsight, that was worrying when I look back on it. It really sucks that we have lost so many good posters. I don't think there is any way to get those users back. We just have to hope that we don't lose anymore. To some extent I am not as active here as I was i.e creating threads. It seems that as the months go by we lose a few more users. Unfortunately, people didn't see T.E as a alternative to IMDb. What is suprising is that people like Shaza and Redhawk, who were very good friends with some people here ran away. Have you tried messaging these old users to get them back?

Yes, I agree with you, Fox, it is sad. I find myself more active on other sites these days too. Like you, I have tried to lure a few people here but they weren't interested. Johan's draft ignited some activity but you feel it has quieted down again. I use to post a lot of threads here but not so anymore. I am really into Letterboxd and those sites these days. I guess, for me, the rating system here didn't help.

What I mean, Box, is that for example with Letterboxd - there is a feature where you can upload all your ratings from IMDb in a matter of seconds. There all there. You see, Box, I am lazy bastard, and it is quite a daunting task to rate over four thousand titles, and more so with the traditional 5 star system. It is just more convenient for me, is all.

It would make life easier. Hopefully, Box looks into it.

An import function for ratings via a CSV file that you can export from IMDB. It was just a suggestion to make it more user-friendly. I am on sites like ICheckMovies, Letterboxd and Criticker where you can import all your ratings in a second. Zed had this feature on his site too. It is the way to go. Letterboxd, like Foz has mentioned is terrific. Really great database there. It was just a radical idea to lure in interested parties.

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not emoticon
