TV Forum is now back online as of this morning. It still has the redirect link to Pres Café so TVF won't be returning.

I’ve recently set up a Discord server - mainly to give our international members a proper space to chat, connect, and feel part of the community, but of course everyone’s welcome to join in.

You can hop in here: https://discord.gg/ykpGbbrK


Great idea! I've joined it too - like Medianextm ex ...

Yeah I saw the same thing myself yesterday when accessing the site logged out off my account and there's not as much activity as there used to be. Clearly some people are afraid of posting on the site now in fear of getting random warnings.

Same here - out of curosity decided to turn on my Surfshark VPN using their UK server and can confirm it blocks me access as well.

Happy birthday Metropol!

Much better than before, what they should have done from the start

Why aren't my posts getting accepted?

All mine are getting accepted.

Perhaps mine are of a higher standard than yours?


The last post I made was actually making a thread about the U-turn of BBC Four, which was then moved into Industry News, Technology and Facilities which was a better fit ...

Oh never mind it looks like I can post again. Must have been an error - there is no mention of the limit on the rules page at all

Is that a three new threads limit (which seems entirely reasonable) or three new replies (which I have just tested, and doesn't seem to have occurred)? If the latter, perhaps you should reflect on the quality of your posts


No it's not a thread limit, it's a post limit of 3 - I tried to post on ...

So apparently there's now a 3-post limit per day on Pres Café... honestly the site is getting more restrictive as time goes on! I dunno, maybe this is a mistake, TVF and TVLF never had a post limit

...and yet another one bites the dust! Sad to see TVTF close - without any notice! Was a pleasure being a member on TVTF from the start and I wish all of the TVTF team all the best! I think it looks like Pres Cafe won the "Forum Wars"...
