I remember that TV Forum launched just as I got back from a school trip to Belgium. Just before I left, the IRA bomb hit the BBC. I'd been a follower of TV Home for about 6 months by that point, and as soon as I got home, I signed up to the new forum (which was at www.tvhome.co.uk/forum in those days). I can't believe that we're still going strong after 6 years. Sadly, many of the original March 2001 members have long since gone, but there are still some of us around. Happy birthday, TV Forum.

Ditto, i've been around since the UK Television days too. Seems like just yesterday that Asa announced the re-brand of BBC Choice to BBC Three on the homepage!
Six years! Blimey. Well done Asa - there aren't many sites that have stuck around that long!

SIX years?! Wow.
I know I say this every year (maybe) but I remember being amazed at this forum when I joined it back on the 26th May that year (thank you, Web Archive), it was the busiest forum I'd ever seen. I remember seeing a thread about BBC News 24 being on 14 pages, and thinking that was absolutely massive!
I don't post here as much as I used to...by early 2002-ish I'd made over 1000 posts, although most of these were utterly pointless due to me being 12. God, was I really? Wow, 12 when I registered and 18 now! But yeah, it's still a fun place despite some troublemakers.
Here's to the next six years!

The old forum software didn't assign a user id so I can't work that out but on a very old random backup of the data, I did find your joining date - Friday 30 Mar 2001, making you very likely to be within the first 50!
Not sure if I should be proud of that or not...

Wow that means I've been here for five years now - I joined up just after the dancers were introduced on BBC One. How time has flown.

How did you do that out of interest? I can see my name alongside all the old favourites but can't read any posts or see any member details.
