  8. Re:15 Reasons to boycott IMDb on IMDb Turns 15 · · Score: 2, Funny

    1. Ranking system provides great amusement and opportunity for arguments as great but controversial films are low rated whilst fanboy-fueled crap rises to the top.
    2. Ill-informed, narrow-minded comments let you feel superior.
    3. Quotes section has endless repeats in case you forget half way down the page.
    4. Quotes full of mistakes to test your knowledge.
    5. Several films or programmes all with exactly the same name with no way of telling which one is which, this makes using the site more exciting.
    6. Reviews by shills, all exactly the same with the names changed. This saves time as you don't have to read more than one type of comment.
    7. Forum which you have to pay to access, just to find out it's rubbish. This teaches you to be more careful with your money.

    Are you talking about IMDB or Slashdot?
