Owner of TMDb.org is Travis Bell.
This guy is the closest competitor to IMDb.com but is like 10,000 alexa rankings down from IMDb.
What did he do wrong?
It was going fine. His site was flourishing. His messageboards had started gaining followers. What he did wrong? He appoints his gf - 'Marr' - as the global moderator of the entire messageboard. Why did he do that? He was a lonely virginal loser and fell
in love with her, so she seduced him into modding her. Now she operates the site according to her desires, and has particular likes and dislikes. She deletes threads against her beloved shows, actors, directors, movies, etc.
She is also against free speech. His site will always be ranked low because of this.
Solution: Implement automated content moderation as in imdb messageboards
