As a few of you may know - I only found out today - the message boards on IMDB have been removed.
While I get that some of it is deserved - many times threads were hate fests, trolls and political arguments having very little to do with the actor or movie - they were pricelss sources of information on less popular shows, movies and actors. You could go to those and find some fan that posted a pic from a recent meeting, an old friend who knew them in the past - and in the case of Criminal Minds, many years ago - one of the actual actors posted replies (something they can do on Facebook now, but it was unusual then).
I'm going to miss them.
