Farewell...

[Andrew]

I'm amazed the DS Forums have survived through all the change of ownerships - not because of any issues within them but generally speaking most forums integrated into larger media sites have just vanished over the years as social media grew.  Personally I think the forums are much better than they used to be, but I am very selective in how I use them nowadays.

I wouldn’t be surprised if DS Forums get more traffic than DS itself. So I’d be like M&S deciding they no longer want to sell food

I mean all those "count to 1 million" style threads probably need an entire data centre to keep it running, let alone the gossip and actual discussion in the subforums that remain

Very nice, and sort of solid! Looks similar to the current TV Live Forum theme, good job!

I've just joined, looks similar so should be easy to navigate.

Already joined as Yorkshire Lad.

I managed to put this together as a forum.  https://tvpres.boards.net/ - but you need to create an account to do as much as read anything on the site unfortunately.

already got in and also have an account

This seems very cryptic to me for some reason...

Does it? Clean Feed has been pretty clear from the get-go that the new forum they're creating will be run in partnership with other members of the "TV Pres" site group, and TIG is a part of that collaboration.

Just a quick question @Rob, will we still be able to login to our old accounts and access messages on the archived site or will it be loginless like TVF? Assuming it will be the latter but worth checking.

I don't know at this precise moment how I will be making the site archive only. It'll go offline and will probably stay offline for a week or two so I can figure out how to go about it...

When it does closedown, will it have a special kind of send off or are you just shutting it down?

No send off. I haven't got the time because of work commitments. It'll just shut down.

I can’t really add much more than what has already been said and to what I said in the blue place when it closed. I will say my thanks to Rob for carrying on the conversation and the moderators also. It’s a shame the forum has to close this way, but your own health is the most important thing.

I probably won’t carry on posting on this forum or one of the successors after this, unless a clear successor is decided, but even then I may only lurk around. However, in this forum’s short live it has been a blast.

I’ll probably stick to Twitter going forwards. Stay safe and keep well everybody.

tig is part of the group related to clean feed so assume its the same?

If, before this site closes, there is a general consensus as to what the new site is that everyone is going to move to/pick up where we left off, would it be possible to maybe create a sticky at the top of the home page or something? Just saves wading through a long thread to find clues.
