Yeah, but it's also true that the forums were heavily "patrolled" by a cadre of very vicious Troo Believers; if someone didn't like show X, or film Y, they were instantly denounced as (insert pejorative term here), and I can well imagine that the so-called mods on the IMDB forums were VERY busy. (I once posted that I found a certain show horribly disappointing and tedious. I was roundly denounced as a
misogynistic chauvinist pig who obviously was threatened by women and couldn't STAND to see "strong female characters." Hmmm....)
Forums are great; the only thing wrong with them is that they are populated by people.
