Metropol: SCANDALOUSLY FAB

So I decided, after seeing the ALL NEW logo, to see if I could use it to find the legendary beta version of the ALL NEW metropol (yes, I'm that cool).

I didn't find it, but I DID find some strange things in the HTML that seem to point to something very sinister:a partnership with Digital Spy to coincide with the relaunch!

I've heard this rumour before so it seems entirely possible that TVF might be about to get a bit more competition and metropol may be about to be eaten by the behemoth as it were.

Anyway, here's what I found (and it's still up). I should also note that Gav and Hyma have utterly failed to respond to my PMs regarding the matter.
At the top...
var mjx_ds_listpos = 'Top1,Right,Middle,Bottom,';
var header_mjx_channel = 'digitalspy.co.uk/home/index';

There's also
<!-- ds vertical --> at the start of the navigation bar and
<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) --><!-- google_ad_section_end -->
at the end of it

So, explanation anyone?!

That's funny - my phone crosswired the other day, and I heard Hyma and Gavin talking to each other - I couldn't make out much, but I did hear two words in particular which caught my attention - Digital Spy. Shortly after, the phone went dead.

Sput. 1970?

Everso observant me.

I think maybe its time an announcement was made as my head hurts. I don't think i could bear a disappointment like the francisgate that never was.
Makes ya wonder if all this using a backup server was part of Gav and Hymas secret ploy to lie and lure us into somesort of new cult.

This better be a PROPER scandal.

Yes, 1970. Forum error years ago threw me back in time.

And oh look, the tags have now been removed with no explanation or comment.

Why do scientists always try to disprove each others theories on stuff? I reckon you lot just make stuff up as you go along.
