It bothers me how everyone on IMDB bashes S8...

[Tyler Austin "tiewashere"]

Okay so, didn't everyone claim that they wanted a Buffy continuation or a movie? Well, this is what Joss gives you and all they do is bash it and say "I can't believe what Joss has done with our beloved characters!" I like to discuss season eight everywhere but when all I get over there is people that just bash and bash and bash and never say anything good about it it bothers me. With a Buffy movie, Joss would have had a better budget and things LIKE THIS would have happened. Yes, I do agree then some stuff is totally out there and wacky for the Buffyverse but stuff like that happened on the show (cavemen?) and you dismiss it. This is Joss without a bugdet and personally I think it's great.

If I was Joss I'd be mad at the world right now =] hahaha

Pretty much every forum at IMDB is filled with threads about how much people hate something. That is ALL there is over there. No point in even going to any sort of IMDB thread.

AMEN

Although the Buffy board there IS a lot more polite and friendly then others I've been too.

Not that much different anywhere else, either. I only visit two or three forums now because I got sick of all the crap.

Oh dear Jebus stay out of there! I hate IMDB. They seem to hate on ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. Seriously, look up any movie you can think of and check out the discussions and at least one will read "Worst Movie Ever?".

Jerks.

IMBD is cool for info but i prefer to stay away from the forums

Misery loves company.

There are a few members whe enjoy S8 there, but sadly they're overshadowed by haters. I post there from time to time, but I avoid some of the S8 threads and only stick with the positive ones.

[Lukee]

That place is really sucky for Haters. There are sooo many SMG haters on that site.
I dont get hwo they can not like S8.... Joss is still working his magic so whats the big?

[BennyTheKey]

I saw we all get together, go over there and post positive comments !............yeah I cant be bothered either =[

[balesthebloody]

I really don't think that the haters can really call themselves "True Fans" if they bash everything but the t.v. show. In this world you have to give and take and sometimes that means not getting your way.

[Rowan Hawthorn]

One of the problems online is all the hater "cliques". I'd be willing to put money that a fair percentage of the "haters" have never even seen the material they're trashing - like a lot of the "character haters" (and the "Joss haters",) they simply jump onto whatever the newest bandwagon is - grab the new "in thing" so they can be one of the Kewl Kids.

I don't know which thread you've guys been reading or stumbled upon, but the IMDb fans aren't really like that. Sure, they come on a little too strong at times, but they believe that even though they love the show, it's still flawed and it ain't perfect. I'll admit I usually don't like posting on negative threads, but at times they give genuine reasons as to why they didn't like so-and-so. I believe everyone's open to express themselves, and if you're a true fan, you'd also be able to analyze it in a critical way, without it affecting your view on it.

Anyway, I only post there... and now here.. I'm not a huge fan of forums and boards.

But, yea, not the greatest place for discussing S8.

[buffysmglover]

I can honestly say I've never looked into one of the IMDB forums. I get my info and I get out.

[vampmogs]

The forums are great for talking about the After the Fall comics there's some really intelligent talk about them and it's nice to hear Lynch add in his thoughts and reply to people. Generally though season 8 gets a bad rap there, there are a select few posters who like it but the majority do seem to complain about it.

I have no problem with it really, not everyone has to love it, it's only when they criticise it for really lame or hypercritical reasons that it gets my back up. But yeah, I'm not a big poster there myself.

[sosa lola]

What I hate about that forum is how interesting and intellegent topics get burnt with spam, some people talk about silly stuff and ignore the topic at hand. And then there's the issue of mocking the actors' weight and looks. I just can't find anything interesting to read there and when I find one, it's filled with pointless spam. I gave up on that forum.

[faithswatcher]

I was once an IMDB Buffy boarder..... lol. Like a year ago it was a really friendly positive place, but yeh, a certain clique that formed and started the "hating". This included hate for S8 without even giving it a chance, taking the piss out of actors weight..... it just got really boring and now it mainly consists of personal issues between them all.... *shrugs*
Just thought id throw in a comment....... lol
