Abandon Ship

My resident movie discussion haven RT is slowly but surely going down the drain. Recently, it picked up the pace towards its inevitable downfall, by selling out to IGN, which, as many of you know, equals opening the Internet floodgates of troll-spamming teen 1337 h4XXoR geek hell. The effects of this have been staggering to the forums, since they are now put on the back burner for short-sighted financial reasons (no immediate revenues!), meaning in essence that they are nowadays administered by complete morons who cannot handle databases of RT's size, and who are incapable of dealing with spammers, trolls, and other schmucks who clutter our (let's face it) beloved forum. The result: chaos.

So, as a backup plan, which more and more looks like the only way out, a couple of the folks from the Critics Discussion at RT have opened up a new, fresh forum over at the Invision boards. Totally free, moderated by the members, etc. It's appropriately called RT CD Refugees. In a way, I guess we all hope that we don't have to make the jump, but right now it looks grim. We're a small bunch so far, and it's just getting started, but most of the regulars have joined, and I have some hope that it could be a decent replacement.
