Aye mind when tv ark disappeared for ages bc they tried to build their own bafflingly complex video player?
Not as if they own the original content in the first place...WillPS wrote:

Surely all that should matter is that you've enabled x many people to see something they're interested in, right?
Which, in the case of content from a presentation website, is never the case.Ben wrote: ↑Sun 31 Jul, 2022 02.10Not as if they own the original content in the first place...WillPS wrote:

I would agree
Playing Devils Advocate: Did they? what about Ashley at this is five? or Edmund at presentation archive never saw anyone complain these two not being included?
Having a forum with a centralised figure clearly hasn't worked, or Rob would have been able to carry on happily for the next 20 odd years.Andrew wrote: ↑Sun 31 Jul, 2022 09.31 I would agree
TV Talk Forum has names but they are people I’ve never heard of who were not very prominent on TVLF
Pres Cafe has no named individuals, surely they can at least just use their first names, so if you know you know. It just doesn’t seem like a natural successor to me
Did that not speak volumes for Rob? no one seriously wanted to enter the ring, there was nothing stopping people last time doing the exact same thing but rob clearly offered a product most people were happy with.Blewatter wrote: ↑Sat 30 Jul, 2022 18.34 It is interesting to see this mini 'Wild West' era for TV pres related forums come about. I've signed up for both TV Talk Forum and Prescafe, and will ultimately stay active on the one which catches on and has more interesting discussion. Its also interesting to note that the hole left by TVLF has left a vacuum for these new forums to pop up and vy for users. I certainly didn't see this in the case of TVF.
Maybe having a one size fits all forum in 2022 isn't the right way to do it anymore? this isn't 1999.. It's weird how in the world of TV pres ( there me mangling that word again) we make everyone go to this one place yet people were never happy about all the content being discussed, So they would complain about certain aspect of certain threads, some of the disagreements started to bubble..Neither seems to be perfect - I can see Tv Talk being overrun with kids posting rotas, whereas I could imagine Pres Cafe clamping down on anything but pure pres.
