It's a good start. I mean, you've got the data from the original IMDB boards all laid out and accessible, so that's better than most alternatives at the moment.
However, I'm curious about exactly how you're going to promote this site. The people currently on IMDB likely don't know much about it, and it's unlikely the administration there will redirect people over when they view the pages for a movie or TV show on their site.
What's the plan to get the users whose data you scraped to come to this new domain and participate again?
- Markoff 10y agohe doesn't have movie database with ratings and watchlists, so i see no reason moving there when i can have all of this plus discussions at TMDb (yes, they are at the moment quite empty because nobody illegally copied posts from IMDb there, including mine)
- Markoff 10y agowhy would i participate on dumb backup of database, done without my consent (OP stole 14 years of my posts), when I can go to proper movie database with discussions, imported ratings and watchlist from IMDb, called TMDb (themoviedb.org)
