TV
Some good, funny and maybe even slightly weird memories - considering the naivety/excitement/friendliness of the early internet - with which I still kind of associate TV Forum (probably skewed more towards the old Lounge topics if I'm honest).
I joined in November 2001, around the time the yellow BBC2 idents began and the ITV regions came to Sky. For some reason the BBC1 'Dancers' launch sticks in my head the most pres-wise, when I think of the older days. Midlands and Yorkshire threads notwithstanding of course.
I still access the forum even though - now I think of it - I don't actually really like tv presentation anymore and haven't posted for years. The old stuff is still lovely to watch though on the Youtube when I'm put in mind of it. Also easy to forget how treasured the few pres sites like TV Home were in the dial-up world of the early 00s.
There's still something about the mechanics of it all though that meant any big presentational change or rebrand, I still wanted to read what this community made of it all..
…and finally
Well I also wanted to just lend my thanks to Asa for his determination with the forum over 20 years.Some good, funny and maybe even slightly weird memories - considering the naivety/excitement/friendliness of the early internet - with which I still kind of associate TV Forum (probably skewed more towards the old Lounge topics if I'm honest).
