A Permanent Non-Eraseable Alternative to IMDB

Since IMDB decided it's a really bright idea to delete the message boards from existence, which by the way were built and grown by people all over the world over a course of many many years, and which turned out to be a unique world resource of information and experiences, I decided to create this "blog" post in immediate response.

By this very stupid move from IMDB, millions of voices are being silenced today.  It's a clear slap in the face to millions of people and a blatant disregard for basic human decency.  Let's make sure something like this can never happen AGAIN.


Solution: 

I have the skills needed to create a good alternative to IMDB, one which can NOT be destroyed by individuals and which can not fall into the hands of tyranny; but since I have no resources of my own, I need someone out there willing to COMMIT a small amount of resources constantly (mainly money) over the course of perhaps a couple of years, in order to achieve this dedicated objective for ALL of us.  The technology for such a project exists.  I created it many years back for my personal laboratory use, and now I'm willing to adjust it entirely for this project alone.

I am determined and ready to dedicate myself for several years (if necessary) to complete this goal.  I think I can do all the technical work alone, so this effort can be completed by myself or with a very small team.  This is a very serious proposition.  All it takes is a handful of very determined individuals, maybe even just two.

The money issue shouldn't be a very significant factor here, since basically we'd be covering monthly expenses for a one-man effort or for a very very small team.  This means that one individual with a good job or several individuals with regular jobs and some spare money for this project can cover the financial aspect of it quite easily.

If YOU or anyone you know can do this and is very disappointed over IMDB's decision, please contact me immediately and let's get this show on the road.  Much talking doesn't move things forward, in my opinion, so I'm keeping this message short.  If your financial situation doesn't allow you to work on this project but you would like to contribute somehow, you can help me right now by spreading the word around and telling others who may be able to help me instead.  You can also drop me a note to keep contact; once things are running, we may need help from people with internet connections in the future, at least for testing purposes, so keep in touch.

Let's do something about this!

Spammers and scammers, stay AWAY.  This is a very serious effort and it would be a waste of your time to even try to bother me.  Snakes in the grass, stay AWAY.  I'll be able to figure you out.

Cheers everyone.
IMDB shot itself in the back.
