I remember hearing about that one, never saw it though.
Sounds a bit like what the Aus TV Celebs site is now?
Yes many of us complained for many years before they were finally removed.

Proudest thing I can claim to be involved in when I was part of the team here was helping in that restructure (was it 2010ish?) that saw the old Celebrities forum disbanded - best thing we did! It was like another dark, dirty world in some of those threads

aka the Mercat Jo Hall forum. Who could forget that.
Times have changed. That forum would never fly these days.

Oh dear lord I remember mercat. I seem to recall I had oversight of that section for a little while. Or was I dreaming it?

I can’t remember if he did but I wouldn’t have thought so. It may have seemed that way since the Jo Hall topic easily had the most posts in it. The majority of which were mercat sadly talking to himself.
At that time mercat was one of the biggest contributors to this site. Unfortunately it wasn’t in the way that anyone really wanted.

Yep. Exactly the same. I remember the Karen Tso thread was very popular. I didn’t think it was that bad.

wasn’t sure which thread
Before my time, but wouldn’t have thought MS provided TVT with ratings data! Wow, never knew that.
Came across it from an archived TVT weekly wrap from 2008 (when Knoxy didn’t do a daily article but a long list instead each week).

Here is a blast from the past, a whole lot of the site on this date is intact.

If you ask me, that old disclaimer for “The Spectrum” probably needs to make a return!

You’re just in denial.
Not sure about all that but at least there is the unique voice. Once called a “news voice” if I remember correctly.
Thank goodness you can’t read the threads. I wouldn’t be able to handle the cringe from my own posts.

I agree. The past should stay in the past.
Horrifying.
