Seen that TV Live is planning a replacement (is that Rob’s site?). I expect we’ll see a few crop up though.
Yep, that's me.

Not planning to launch it until TV Forum powers down, but I plan to have the same layout of messageboards, but I'm contemplating whether to ditch the mocks and requests sections, as they're the most troublesome.

Updates on Twitter @tvliveforum
Keep the mock designs section but have it lock something and hide it if it averages a low score? Kind of how it does it on TVF but completely remove the post and banish it?

Requests could be reinvented to 'The Drop Box' - kind of how PrivateParts works on MHP, but with more discussion.

For example a person posts a video or track and other users then comment, forum style on that branding so critiquing the past.

I'm purely spitballing.

Carbuncle’s Televisual Corner has a certain ring to it.

Nah seriously, it’s weird to think the site won’t exist in its current form. I say we bring back the IRC chat room for the last day.
Maybe Janice Long will give us a shout out on the last day?

I like to think we contributed to peace in the Balkans in no small part by introducing them to the calming influences of Carl Chinn, Kay Alexander, Maggie Mash and Angie Rippon.
Good Lord!

I think it'd be better if the potential successor forum has no Newsroom as that seems to cause the most bother.

I think the bother comes from people obsessing over rotas. Easy solution, ban it outright or allow it in a special, secluded place where the forum population don't have to trawl through it just to get to presentation talk.

Rob, I love TV Live but I think MP247 is probably the spiritual successor to TVF.

As well as its shared history, many TVFers also already have MP247 log ins meaning that transition to here might be smoother.

I am so gutted.

That's your opinion, and I respect it. However, I feel a fresh start is needed, and my solution is a good option.

Rob, don't get me wrong. If people want your site to be the successor, I'm coming too, if you'll have me.

I visit your site once or twice a month. Big fan of yours, sir, just in case that was in any doubt.

We'll have to set up a new Watch thread for the new forum in April on Metropol as they will be members who will inevitably piss someone off for being inane or stupid.
