When I got regular Internet access in December 2007, I believe IMDb’s SW boards where were I first learned about the discontent many had for the PT/SEs. I began to regularly visit the boards to read the discussions, though I couldn’t join in on them 'cause I wasn’t able to authenticate my account.

I finally did authenticate my account in 2012, but I never did become a regular poster. By that point I was already posting here and had all but retired from TFN, so I no longer had an overwhelming desire to get into the SW discussions there. It was also by this time that I finally began noticing the general lack of camaraderie between the posters and all the “this movie needs a remake/worst movie of all time/she’s fat and/or ugly” troll threads. That combined with IMDb’s stupid policy of deleting older threads left me with no desire to linger there.
