Read what was written above.
From what I read on the forum, you were not being very open about why the forum was going to close and were not willing to say why. I am sure if you were more open towards your users, then they would be more accepting of it.
Can you imagine if you walked in one day after your office had undergone a refit and everyone learnt that the managers wanted to make you all redundant in a week or two but didn't want to say why? Wouldn't you be p!ssed off and wanting some explanation, and of course wanting to vent your anger at someone?
OK, so losing employment doesn't exactly compare with a TV pres forum closing, but you get the point. The more you try and keep it hush, the more risk you have of pouring petrol onto the fire and riling people.

I'm sorry that it's had to close so soon, it'll make the transition from the TV Ark forum to the new one a bit hectic.
What i've done though is registered www.thetvlounge.com and it should hopefully be open within the next 2 days.
Please let everyone know

Looks like someone had a bit of a strope and removed the forums early. I did read the forums earlier today and it was an interesting read.

You didn't just read the forums, you added fuel to the fire! (opinion)
I think you just wanted to stir things up! (opinion)
I really don't know why a decent guy like Asa has unpleasant numpties like you moderating for him? At least the TV Ark forum had mature unbiased moderation! (opinion)
Now what are you going to do here? Does this post count as me giving my honest opinion like you suggested was only fair in your put down of me on the TV Ark forum or is it offensive and will you choose to delete it?

You forgot another (opinon) to cover your arse there at the end. Just wondering, are you always such a hypocrite when expressing opinion towards one person or is it just when you don't like the other kids making fun of you and take your ball home in a huff when moderating in the mature and unbiased ways you mention?

Oh dear, you aren't the shapest knife in the drawer either are you Nini?
The last comment was a tongue in cheek challenge. I've never denied not liking people like you slagging off my work or that of anyone else trying to make a go of things.
My arguement is with Charlie Wells who decided to publically attack me on my own forum, surprisingly after thanking me at the start of this thread.
I might have guessed that you'd have to jump in with your vile remarks. If my memory serves me correctly, you posted on the Ark forum a few times before you were told where to go and you're about a popular in this forum as a pot of piss!

What makes matters worse though is that I emailed Asa (with whom I have corresponded with for many years) to let him know that on the closure of the Ark forum I was going to refer our users to him.
Charlie Wells then starts this thread and thanks me for recomending it.
He then comes over to the Ark forum and starts ridiculing me. Nice!
Not a particualrly good mascot for this forum is it? Something for Asa to consider possibly!
