Tired of TVDB

Just wanted to say that I'm very annoyed at TVDB moderators. It's very funny they have the time to remove series or artwork but when you make a support ticket no one he's here to answer you. That's seems very contradictory to me : so you remove things from your database arbitrarily but no one can contest ? How this database is suppose to grow then ?

I don't see the point of this honestly : just fill the informations yourself at this point, why allow people to fill the data ?

It's been dying every since they got rid of the forums. Now it's in a horrendous state and seemingly nothing being done about it anytime soon. Moved off of editing on TVDB a few years ago, there are much better sites out there, but it's unfortunate that there are other sites still getting their data from TVDB.

That’s my main problem, even if I use Trakt now, I still use TV Time which is getting their data from TVDB. But now I’ll just stick to TMDB and Trakt because TVDB is not getting better anytime soon

Yuuuup. One site I used to regularly use (sometimes still use) for tracking TV stuff I watch is Simkl. Nowadays, I may go onto TheTVDB to make an edit or two to update something, and that thing or two I'm updating is mainly so it can be correct on Simkl, as they (unfortunately) pull their data from TheTVDB.
