Pretty much everyone who has commented in this thread has taken the words of my mouth and (frankly) articulated those thoughts in a better way than I would have. Will add one other point though - as a media enthusiast who doesn't live in the UK, TV Forum has been a go-to destination for me (and I have no doubt many others as well) to hear about what's happening in UK TV (particularly when it comes to news coverage and obviously how much people hate 'Oneness' today). The community which this website has been able to foster that has allowed insiders and 'ordinary' people the platform to share (sometimes passionately) their love for TV has been truly special to be part of. While it can't be replicated, here's hoping another forum (where it's the one Rob is setting up on TV Live or another one) can provide a home for all of the conversations, debates and insights TV Forum has hosted for many years to continue.
Finally, thank you Asa for setting up this website - all of us will forever be truly grateful for everything you've done to foster engagement and interest in the UK media industry. All the very best for whatever the future holds for you. Special thanks also to the moderators for your hard work ensuring things didn't go completely off-the-rails at times! To everyone else, hope this isn't a goodbye but merely a farewell - here's hoping our paths will cross somewhere else in the future.
…and finally
Wow. Even though I visit this forum only occasionally, this announcement has hit me like a ton of bricks (as I'm sure it has for many others). While I have to admit I'm not surprised by considering what has happened over the past few months, it's still a massive shock nonetheless.Pretty much everyone who has commented in this thread has taken the words of my mouth and (frankly) articulated those thoughts in a better way than I would have.
