IMDb Vacationing Spot

The IMDB Vacationing Spot was a Phpbb forum created by Pip Mcman, designed for IMDB regulars to come and chat in a safe, troll-free environment. It was abandoned early in 2006 during the rise of The Kingpin.

Creation
During the height of The Doctor Weintraub Era, Pip, tired of dealing with all the trolls, decided to make a private forum for IMDB regulars to go to get away from the trolls, an idea originally done by Gwydion Frost with his FrostFilmForum. Many of the prominent Spider-man 3 regulars, such as Dapper Dan Man, Verbalizerray, Smurf, Commanderblue, Mercuzo, Autos Da Fe, Symbiote Spider, and Cosby Daf were invited. The forum was a huge success, for a little while....

The Moderator Controversy
The Beginning of the end of TheVacationingSpot came when Pip, going on real vacation for a while, decided to appoint several members, Including Dapper and Verbalizer, to moderate the boards. This upset a couple of the younger users, most prominently Symbiote-Spider, because they also wanted to be chosen as Mods. Symbiote led a revolution against Pip and Dapper, and created a lot of strife amongst the once friendly community.

The Kingpin Controversy
During the height of the Kingpin's reign, Pip was desperate to reveal his true identity to IMDB, but he had no idea who The Kingpin really was. Pip decided to bluff the Kingpin and say that he knew who he was, and he would reveal it to the boards unless he left IMDB forever. The Kingpin called Pip's bluff, so Pip, out of options, decided that Symbiote Spider was his best bet. At the time, it was a logical choice, because Pip knew that Symbiote already despised him forthe moderator controversy, and he was the most likely one to become the Kingpin. Still, pip's guess was wrong, and a scandalized Symbiote Spider left the Vacationing Spot forever, bringing most of the members with him. Thus, The Vacationingspot was abandoned and soon forgotten.
