I'm afraid we don't.

[This is UTV]

Anyone else still by habit going onto TVF, hoping its gonna be there.....then met with the closed page. This habit is gonna take a while to break.

Kudos to Asa for the ending there! Absolutely the way TV Forum should have bowed out. And at 22:03 as well - what a nice nod to the launch date 22/03/2001.

RIP, TV Forum

i also liked how asa done the credits that we see at the end of the year but would of liked it be in full screen

I'm afraid we don't.

I'd probably say when all of the threads that have been on the site - at the time of closure - have been formatted and archived properly. Unlike a website I know of - Onge's Erasure Page (Closed and Archived in 2019) - that was easy to switch to archive "read only" mode. I'd say this one would need a whole lot of work to format threads correctly in a read only format and to remove tthe functionality elements of it.

But that is my guess to be honest.

Just caught up with how TVF closed. A very fitting ending from Asa, lucky I posted my final post early!

Me too. Every time I've come to this site today I've gone to TVF as a force of habit. Like you say, it's gonna take a while to break...15 years of my life and everything...

On the plus side, getting to hear Redvers Kyle's voice multiple times a day is no bad thing.

I completely missed the countdown, but what a great send off to the website.

A great forum had a great exit.

Speaking of TV Forum, remember my old and very bad mocks on TVF?
God, they were awful.

I did that this morning and got frightened by the closedown announcement although i've already heard it!

Not sure but I won't be posting any mocks on here.

[mention]Humphrey Hacker[/mention] -
I would advise you to take a look at the comments left on the current collection of mocks in The Gallery. I think it'll put you at ease a little bit. There's nothing but fair, useful responses. You may have had a bad experience in the past and I'm sorry if that was the case but don't let bad past experiences colour your future. This is a new site, overseen by a new moderation team, and there's been nothing but good, constructive feedback so far.

I've happily switched. As great as TVF was, it was definitely time for a fresh start. That said, what to keep and what to change is never easy but O genuinely believe Rob has the balance correct.

If anyone feels like a bit of nostalgia, someone has (or a computer automatically has) archived a lot of the last day of TVForum on archive.org/web - if you click on one of the snapshots from 31st March, some of the thread links are also snapshotted/archived and work.

Was just looking through Web Archive for something else and thought I'd try it out - just incase you want to look back on some posts (if the link is snapshotted/archived) whilst the Forum's still being converted into an official archive.
