For the past hour, I have been unable to get to any message boards. At
first, I could reach various boards' list of message threads, but
clicking on any thread led to the D'oh error page. I am now unable to
even get the threads page, nor my board favorites page or board
profile. Instead of the D'oh error page, I'm now getting the
"Connecting To Message Boards Please wait a few seconds for the page to load " followed by 404 error.

Yeah, getting the same thing. Think the Game of Thrones fans are going apesh!t over the season finale. That or possibly maintenance. Happened last Sunday too.

Are they doing maintenance or have they decided to eliminate message boards and just left this site as information only?

No. It's been going off-and-on like this for a few days.

Was there a thunderstorm?
Just kidding. I wanted to find out what's wrong and found my way here. I'm guessing there are hundreds of possible reasons the boards aren't working tonight.
Maybe Homer Simpson has been working on his hacking skills.

I am also having sporadic problems with IMDb's message board. I've sent a message to the help desk referencing this thread. I've also flagged this thread for IMDb staff attention.
I understand that GoT had a rather eventful season finale and that many fans are upset. It's possible that this has caused problems with the IMDb message board.

How could fans who are "upset" cause problems for the entirety of IMDb message boards?
Also, do these "fans" need a diaper change? Or is it the other problem and they need a laxative?
Good grief, the plot of fantasy show about dragons and stuff can get people "upset?"
Fresh air, people. Get some. Soon. Please.

Heavier than normal message board traffic can affect the performance of the message boards. Similar problems occurred when Breaking Bad concluded.

Go in depth about how many servers IMDb.com has, how many hard drive
they got to store the data of the whole database including the boards,
and how much bandwidth IMDb.com can handle, and why we are facing these
outages?
Tell us in detail, bros
Admins and IMDb employees may join in too.

Ah same here. I though it was only the Game of Thrones forum, but pages take forever to load when I click on thread name. When I try to reply to a post it take a very long time to send my reply or it won't send it at all and I frequently end up on a page with a technical issue message.

Also love how you have to sign up to a completely new idiotic board just to ask a question about IMDb.
