I have to echo everyone else's sentiments about the imminent closure of TVF. It did come as a shock to read one of my favourite places on the interwibble is coming to an end. I'm glad the site is being kept around as a read-only archive, so it's not going away completely.
I have been a member of TVF, since (I think) 2001 or thereabouts, but probably not early enough to have had the Founding Member label next to my username. I do, of course, remember the big TVF server crash of 2003, and (IIRC) everyone had to re-register new accounts. Not sure what my post count was before that incident ... not that post count totals are that important anyway!
Anyway, I would of course, like many other in this thread have already done, express my thanks to Asa for all his hard work and dedication keeping this forum going for the past 20 years. Kudos also to all the moderators past and present for helping to maintain order and keep the peace when various threads have strayed way off-topic. What might seem like a rather thankless task, but at least appreciated by some of us.
I'm happy that when TVF closes, we'll have an all-new forum to go to which will hopefully be a worthwhile continuation of what this forum has been since the days when almost everyone was using IE, and some of us were still trundling along with Netscape!
This is not a goodbye, merely an Au revoir.
