    I think Amazon started it to advertise,but there were many subforums,movies,sports,religion,music,many more.But the group that landed here,were from the Amazon Political Forum.

    It was, but there were ways around it. I still use Amazon a lot since I have their credit card. Mom has me continuing prime, since we enjoy the free streaming. I also get all my supplements off Amazon

    I liked the science and sci-fi forums as well as the political one. Tried the various religion forums when I first found out that Amazon even had forums. But like you said in another thread, it was just a huge pile of bickering and screeching and everyone proclaiming that his/her religion was the best ever and you all stink. Anne Rice, who wrote all those vampire books, used to post in the Catholic religious forum.

Eventually people were disappearing for no reason at all, even Aimee. Socks became a norm, so you could stay ahead of things. It seems Amazon was just fed up with the forums, and they were just banning people rather then addressing issues. They eventually gave notice, that they were discontinuing the forums in Oct, 2017.
    They opened new forums,but they are shopping oriented.

    "To contribute to Customer features (for example, Customer Reviews, Customer Answers, Idea Lists) or to follow other contributors, you must have spent at least $50 on Amazon.com using a valid credit or debit card in the past 12 months. Promotional discounts don't qualify towards the $50 minimum." (https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...6045254&sr=1-1)

    Eventually they got tired of policing the forums and closed all of them except for the Top Reviewers one. Vine might still be there too, I don't know for sure.
    I didn't realize there was a board for Amazon. Sure it was fun while it lasted. Some boards will simply never be replaced.

    There was a board for Bill Maher fans, many many years ago, completely unmoderated. It was the craziest, funniest board ever. It was sad when it shut down.

    Amazon Prime is the BEST! From the next day delivery, to the music and movie streaming, very addicting.

    Quite a few regulars never bought anything,and posted daily,somewhere along the line,they added you had to spend $50,to use the forums.
    Quickly,a genius found a clitch in the system,and that opened the door to sock armies.
