They are shutting down the comments/forums/boards because the only traffic they get is diehards and trolls. The flaming no longer makes them look good or money. The regular people all left for twitter/facebook. They said social media but explain fb twit. Some malarkey about using your real human name global blah blah... Its all forums. Nothing to do with perl just trolls finding a new home	[reply]

Some background: So that's the scene in 2001 when I joined the amazon.com family as an SDE, working on the new IMDb platform. I was a fairly hot perl programmer....	[reply]

Interesting, but like AnoMonk already pointed out I was sarcastically referring to the trolls. The fact that the IMDB board and PM were hacked in Perl is just a coincidence. I doubt trolls are especially attracted by a (hypothetical) scent of Perl behind the board templates to find new host organisms... ;-) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply]
