This is awesome and much needed. Just throwing it out there, but would you consider making a dump of the data you scraped that could be used by data scientists? Maybe as a torrent or something like that? Data about movies and what people say about them could form the basis of a lot of NLP projects. What other big datasets are there for forum post text data? The reddit dataset most immediately comes to mind, and I've…
ArchiveTeam's web archives will be available to everyone without restrictions or profit as usual.
Where you can download the boards?

#73Second request-Help! I was active on IMDb under dini0519 but am now having trouble signing on under that name because I had previously signed up under my whole email not realizing that would be the username. Not really wanting my complete email floating around I tried to shorten my user name to the previous dini0519 and even just "dini" but nothing is working. I really want to be part of this community esp concerning the Twilight Zone boards, The Golden Girls, and Big Brother. Please help.

You are fully within your legal right (based on most countries data protection laws - I do not know where you are), to reach out to MovieChat.org and request formally your data be deleted. If it bothers you that much, I fully recommend you do so. However, surely rule #1 of the internet is, once you've posted it, it's out there forever. Are you going to go around to every cache server, and everyone's browser cache and…
should not it be the other way? first he should have consent to publish that data and not that he illegally copy data and publish them and i must perform some action when he did some illegal? as much as i hate IMDb shutting down boards i hope they will close this illegal website OTOH i have no problem with recognized Archive.org instead of this solo thief
Please stop your trolling. Nothing is being "stolen".

#75Please add https, now with Let's encrypt there's really no excuse to not have it.
I wish! Windows servers is an excellent excuse to not have it. Two years running now there still isn't a practical solution for Windows servers and none in sight for the foreseeable future.
Serving web content on Windows is not a good excuse for anything. Move it to linux or BSD.

I wanted to ask this too. Did you scrape it or did it via some api? Anyway, cool project, wish you all the best with it.
illegally scraped,IMDb doesn't have API for this and automated scraping OP done is against their TOS, not mentioning without consent of users, for instance stole 14 years worth of my posts
I take it then, when you posted these 14 years of comments, you didn't want them available to the public to, I don't know, read?!
Thank goodness IMDB deleted them all before we happened across them by accident & violated your privacy.

#77Nice - but have you consent of the comment authors to duplicate the content? Normally, UGC (user generated content) remains under copyright of the users.
no, he doesn't and he illegally copied 14 years of my posts which i don't like especially since I moved to TMDb which is proper movie database where you can also import your IMDb ratings and watchlist and each movie there has own discussions
Wow, you really are a cry baby aren't you?!
Re: Show HN: MovieChat.org – Archive and Replacement for IMDb Message Boards
#78thank you for helping further fragmentation of IMDb alternatives by creating dumb forum like tons of other generic forums when there is REAL alternative movie database with discussions for each movie called The Movie database themoviedb.org run since 2008 and edited by its own users like Wikipedia it's nice you created searchable archive of IMDb discussions though guys at Archive are doing same anyway, not posing as…
Waa waa waa, I'm so important. I spent 14 years of my life contributing to something I absolutely forbid anyone else to read without my written permission - even though in my utter stupidity, I posted those works of pure literary genius on an open forum.

#79Thank you!! To my knowledge this is the only instance someone has managed to scrape the Imdb boards, very curious how you managed that. I really hope you get a sponsor/donations. This needs to be promoted to other sites/social media and I will do my part. I do have one request - can we do this for actors as well?
promoting illegally copied content of users without their consent? for what's it worth, he copied 14 years of my posts and I don't like it
I'm sorry, how many years of your posts were [excuse my laughter at your inanity] 'stolen'? I don't think you mentioned it...

Wow, you are really repetitive and annoying.
