My Final Thoughts - Rob - 28-07-2022
Here we are then, this is it...
The forum will close on Sunday at midday, and will return as a read-only site in the next few weeks. Again, I'm very sad about closing it down, but I know in my heart I'm doing the right thing. It's time for somebody else to take on the task of creating a new forum, with their own ideas and ways of doing things. I wish whoever takes on the mantle the very best of luck. As I've said, I won't be participating in any of the new sites that crop up, but I'll still be around on social media as well as Metropol if you ever do want to say hello to me.
We've been through a lot in the last 16 months. The forum sprung into life 10 days after opening, by covering the death of Prince Phillip. Since then, we've had a relaunch of Sky News, the new BBC logo, the launch of Studio B, the launches of GB News and TalkTV, the Olympics, the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, Eurovision, and so much more besides. You've discussed all these events (well most of them) with respect and consideration for others, and I cannot thank you all enough for that.
To those responsible for me making the decision to close the forum, I have nothing more to say.
What are my plans for the future? Well, I've got the main TV Live website to rebuild, and that's something I'm REALLY looking forward to, I'm going to concentrate much more on my radio show as well, which is going from strength to strength. More people are tuning in to the show every week, and I'm proud of what I've achieved with it so far...
Thank you again to everyone who has posted such kind and encouraging comments about the work we've done over the years. Also, thank you again to Ben, David, James, Matt & Pete for their contributions to making the forum work better than I could have possibly imagined.
I won't be marking the farewell with a drink, as I'm working on Sunday evening, so on Monday I shall raise a glass to the forum and to each and every one of you for contributing to what was a fantastic community of people (if you'd like to buy me a pint, the donate button at the bottom of the page still works)
So for now, it's goodbye, thank you for visiting, and don't forget to switch off your televisions and unplug them from the mains.
Goodbye.
