Sounds liek we're goign to get two very similar rival sites? Do we know who's responsible for the other one yet?

As the description says "free and open debate", it almost certainly somebody who's flounced off from here. Or got kicked off/banned, whichever applies.

I think we can safely assume it isn't Tumble Tower, considering he's been busy on YouTube vlogging about Eurovision recently.

Or it's that ohno544 who's been ranting about this place on Metropol.

When they're posting crap like this...

BBC to move all news staff to a series of boats moored 20 miles off the coast of north Kent.

...it's hard to take the site seriously.

I'm more concerned about their website looking like something from The Wyoming Incident.

Can't deny that this gave me a chuckle though.

First 50 members get full access to the TVS archive. Yes, it's all here. The TVS "TVS Television" Television Archive. Including that early Catchphrase outtake where Roy Walker decked a contestant for answering "Your mum" to the time-honoured question "What's Mr Chips doing?"

Anyway, trying to get back on topic...

The forum build is now done (with just one bit of code to install) and all systems are GO for the launch on March 29th. Time to put my feet up for a bit...

Thank you to everyone who has sent kind words about the new site. Again, I have very big shoes to fill, but I promise you, you will all have a voice on the new forum.

Will you be ‘seeding’ the forum with some topics to encourage debate? Perhaps a continuation of popular threads from here, such as YouTube & Twitter Gold etc..

Yes, there will be a few topics on the forum to start with. Don't want to start things off with nothing to talk about.

I would be very concerned about the media industry if there was ever a point where there was nothing to talk about!

With just over a week to go until the launch, here are a few images, previewing what to expect from the TV Live Forum when it launches a week tomorrow.

A big thank you must also to Pete from Metropol for testing the site recently, and suggesting fixes and alterations.

Notes: The day/night mode doesn't work automatically, there is a switch though to change it at your convienience.

The site header will also change on a regular basis. There are 7 different ones at the moment, but there are more to come!
