I wonder what to make of this. If it's true that it was admins the whole time, how come threads were being deleted as they were posted instead of just the ones that were older? If it was really admins doing the deletions, they would have selected thousands of posts at a time that were older and not deleted select ones from both the top page and older pages... To delete only a few at a time is not admin-like; even 1000 per day is not that many when you know that the BBM board lost 50,000 or so at one time, due to admins clearing space. Also, they had just cleared space a few weeks back, and the movie was still a hot topic in mid to late March, so it doesn't make sense that they would drive people away like that from their own site (with ad revenue to be made).
But I do agree that this kid is a very big a-hole to come on and say they think Victoria and whomever else they insulted is really a good person that they admired secretly. Good luck to everyone who meets this guy. He's obviously got a major ego complex to need to create so much disruption for his own entertainment. What a sad life, huh?
Though I still miss the layout and open feeling (aesthetically and interface-wise) of IMDb, it doesn't feel like home anymore. But good riddance to them!
