I respectfully disagree with the, "it was free, so, one should not complain." Given the nature of sites like Mobilism, which are built on the idea that it's aim, interest or content will hopefully attract an audience -this includes Facebook and any other medium which very success determines if there will be a future and the type and duration of that future, Mobilism, Facebook and all social based sites, including blogs are breathed life only by their following -"us." That is why sites tend to thank it's users for using, because with out users -you don't get used -and when you don't get users, your not in business. In all social medium scenarios, "the users build the brand." Without the users -there is no brand. No users -no brand, just and idea that will end up nowhere.

Mobilism made a critical flaw. In business of all kinds, even those offering free services, you always explain cancellations of critical or popular services that will have a huge impact on your user base/customers. It is this disclosure that can prevent potential loss uf a significant user base. For example, if 1/3 of the users on Mobilism were to decide that the site did not think of them as worthy of being told a simple matter such as, why a popular service was discontinued, there is a fair chance that the ever popular Mobilism, would lose a whooping 1/3 of it's users/reputation/size. This could cause the popular site to fall from it's current popularity position and open the door to other entities with similar services to emerge and attract it's remaining user base, making a promise to never cancel on it's Movie section -whether this new emerging entity was to keep it's promise or not, this could lead to the collapse of Mobilism or any business offering goods or services -whether, paid or free.

While this post is not aimed at getting Mobilism to reverse it's decision to discontinue it's movie section, or to at the very least, share with it's entire user base as to why it has abruptly discontinued it's Movie section without warning and without an explanation that was given to only paying members, I suggest that Mobilism considers the warning of the potential risk outlined in the content of this post. There also, lies the possibility that Mobilism may have faced a legal matter in which discontinuing their popular Movie section was a necessary or prudent decision.

I respectfully disagree with KNOTEBOOK2. There is always more to the story. I had more invested in this fine, and continuing forum. But I do understand.

I have actually considered that there may be more to the story, as well. I simply forgotten to add the idea that more may be to this action than made known to some. There is however, "not always more" to a story. Sometime, things are just as they were presented. We all know this to simply be true. Whether or not this is the case with Mobilism's decision to remove the movie section, I know not. I know that I will truly miss the Movie section! This, I know.

This is sad.I loved the movie section.the only reason I'm one here.a explanation would be nice.but there could be a reason or not.guess I'll look elsewhere.hopefully it will be back

Yea, I have used mobilism for quite a long time and not just for movies now and then. But since falling terminally ill and spending most of my time in bed, watching movies became more and more important and not just for the movie itself but because I cant even make it to the darn theater to enjoy a newer release. So, it truly is a sad day. Sorta knocked the wind outta me. That said, thanks to mobilism and great release kings like wAm and more. I really appreciate all the work that went into it. It would be great to hear why things had to happen like this instead of a notice like they usually do with all of their other changes or ideas but it is what it is. Maybe we will hear a simple one someday or ::fingers crossed:: maybe it will show itself again one day soon...
