Will the Internet Movie Data Base (IMDb) ever reinstate its message / discussion boards?

As many of you know already, the IMDb message boards were disabled on February 20, 2017. This included the Private Message system.

They must’ve been gawd-awful to moderate, and indeed the system was strongly abused by some users. But even though I suffered a lot of abuse, I really hate not being able to discuss movies and insightful observations and themes. They were like a social network in this regard.

I know the system was inundated with trolls and had problems but I really miss being able to share discussion on the IMDb message boards.
