Well personally, the way I see it, all movie sites usually have a board about future films (just in case)... and in the case of Indy 5, we have a hint that there WILL be one... and besides... we don't have to have it written down in IMDB for it to be ok to make a board.
Besides... a whole bunch of Indy IV board threads are about Indy 5 anyway... mods... take a hint

I'm not speaking for the team when I say this, or in what I said above, but while it is possible and even probable, I wouldn't count on it in the next week or so. There are still, after all, those who haven't even seen the new film, which has been out for less than a week. And, of course, it should go without saying that no matter what decision is reached, the effect of imdb.com on said decision will be either minimal or non-existent.
Do the architects of this forum eventually plan to move Skull into the current Trilogy folder, making it a Quadrilogy?
Obviously, we can't tell everything that might happen, but for the foreseeable future, we anticipate that the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull conversation will be of such high density that it would simply overwhelm the discussion of the trilogy. Clearly enough, that's what would happen now. Should that change at some point, then perhaps they'll be merged, but I wouldn't expect it for quite some time.
Why not make the case by gathering all the quotes where the filmmakers left the door open for Indy 5? Provide links, please. I'll help when I have time.

Lucas: "I haven’t even told Steven or Harrison this, but I have an idea to make Shia the lead character next time and have Harrison come back like Sean Connery did in the last movie. I can see it working out. And it’s not like Harrison is even old. I mean, he’s 65 and he did everything in this movie. The old chemistry is there, and it’s not like he’s an old man. He’s incredibly agile; he looks even better than he did 20 years ago, if you ask me."
Ford: "I have no cheeky answer for [that]. I just work here. I'm glad to work here. Till they tell me otherwise, I will continue to be Indiana Jones."
Shia: "I know Harrison would love to. I know that Harrison, when he's 80, will still be jacked. Is there going to be an 80-year-old Indiana Jones? No one can say never... I know if it's received well, that's a pretty definite indicator. If it's received well, I don't imagine they would stop making them."

I quite liked Frank’s script, but George and I had a disagreement over it, and George and I have always agreed to agree. So when we take each other’s temperatures, if I really am passionate about something, George will give in to me, and if George is really passionate about something, I’ll pretty much go his way. And in this case George was passionate that this was not the story he wanted to tell at this point in the Indiana Jones saga.
Hollywood: Is it true that there may be a younger person in this, poised to take over?
Lucas: "It's possible. Not really to take over."
Hollywood: But someone to create new movies with?
Lucas: "No, it wasn't meant to be that way. But I guess that's a possibility. It's really to wrap it up."
Wow, Spielberg said he'd do Indy 5 "only if you want more. That's why we made this Indiana Jones. We'll certainly have our ear to the ground to hear what happens. That'll decide were we go from here." The beards are listening...
Having proved over the weekend that he still cracks the whip at theaters, Indiana Jones' next mission may be the search for the next sequel... few movies take in that kind of money without already having a sequel in the works. So far, though, there's no solid plan — a situation the studio that distributes the Indy films, created and produced by George Lucas, hopes changes soon. "I don't know if George is interested in another," says Rob Moore of Paramount Pictures. "But if he is, we're going to pick up the phone in a hurry."
But Lucas pours a little cold water in the same issue.
Quote:
"I guess if I found an object for him to go after, we could do the sequel. But it took me 20 years to find the last object, so I don't know whether that will ever happen... After the success of the first one, we decided to do these only if they're fun to make and have a good story behind them. We don't need to make these for the money. The idea has to come naturally."

Come on, George!
He could go after aspirins to the drugstore, and with a good script you can have a good Indy movie. But with "a good script" I mean a GOOD script.

This is the central problem. Can't Lucas take suggestions on which MacGuffin to use rather than 'searching' for himself? It sounds like a mixture of stubbornness and childishness.
"I would do another one in a New York minute. It would be interesting to see Indy in his 60s, but we might have to decide between putting him on a college campus or in a rocking chair!"
