It’s the entitlement that gets me. “These guys gave me a free place to hang out and discuss movies for 20 years. When it got to be a pain in the ass to run they shut it down. How dare they!”
Snopes was the closest I’ve seen to the SDMB, but that’s long gone. All the knock off Dope boards are/were all but useless as you could read all the new posts by going there for an hour every month. Every six months if you didn’t read posts bitching and moaning about the Dope.
Now, the only other place I go is some subreddits, but they are no use in having a back and forth conversation. The upvotes, hugs, money shit just ruins the experience for me. Now I just do factual answer sites like whatisthisthing? or whatbirdisthis? I can usually browse an hour or two on those.
