Sometimes on unpopular boards you can have great discussion though.

Last time I was there they were only slightly better than youtube comments.

It's great on old boards.

Why would they be shutting them down? Too little traffic? Or are they going to replace them with Disqus. Bet anything it's to make the mobile users happy. *sighs*

From what I've heard it's become popular with keyboard warriors (an oxymoron if I ever heard one, emphasis on moron) and not well moderated.

That might be true. I've found full download links on the IMDB boards, usually cruising through obscure movies that never get DVD releases, or no DVD release in certain regions. Which is great if you're looking for forgotten gems, not so good when lawyers show up.

Yep. I post there often, but it's Wild West City on some of the boards.
