ABOUT THE Online Film Critics Society
The Online Film Critics Society (OFCS) was founded in 1997 by Harvey Karten. The OFCS began a partnership with Rotten Tomatoes in 2001 whereby the organization’s website would be hosted by Rotten Tomatoes and the OFCS forums would be a subsection of their own. After Flixster purchased Rotten Tomatoes, the long-standing relationship came to an end in 2011 even though they would continue to host our member forums for a few years. The OFCS moved to Blogger in 2009. Blogger did not provide the OFCS with the customization options needed to service their membership and a new website was established in 2011.
