Iain Lee Forum.com is closing!

The Iain Lee Forum will be mergered with it's sister forum Tommy Boyd Forum as of this sunday. The new name hasn't be released but it will be generic name.

A few months IainLeeForum.com was made because the Iain Lee thread on the Tommy Boyd Forum was so popular & was decided for a seperate forum to be made. After that the Tommy Boyd Forum was remaining in the "dark".

The Webmaster of Both Forums, Ben posted this message

Hello!

This is a subject which has appeared often on the TommyBoydForum.com site, not so much this one.

But after talking to a few members, and the backing of Sir Iain himself, we're going to go ahead with this idea i've had.

Whilst the chatroom draws more than its fair share of Internet users on a Sunday night, I feel that the forum isn't used anywhere near as much as it could be. I cannot seem to justify there being a forum here other than to house the chatroom.

I happened to notice when i started sharing the chatroom between Tommys and Iains shows on a Sunday night, that Tommy and Iain fans tend to like the same sort of radio.

So i thought why have separate forums, when we can have one big one? Now this has been talked about before on the TommyBoydForum.com, and a lot of people didn't like it. But i've made a slight alteration to the plan which i hope people will like. The new forum will have the usual discussion sections like General Discussion, Funnies, Argument Area and so forth, but will house separate sections for each presenter. So if a particular user doesn't like Tommy or Iain, they can keep to their sections. But at the SAME TIME they can meet new people in the General Chat sections and what have you. I think this can only be good for the community, and Iain seems to think it's a good idea.

There will be one BIG chatroom for everybody. It will unlike the current one also work over firewalls etc, so Iain can drop in on the new chatroom whilst he is doing his show which'll be a laugh no dout!

The great thing about this idea will be that, we don't have to stop at Tommy or Iain, we can draw even more new members in with sections about Clive Bull, or the likes of Danny Baker, perhaps even Howard Stern who knows! I think it could be great.

Whilst i appreciated your opinions in other threads i've talked about this, I am now making the decision that it's definitely going to happen, and will definitely be open for the two shows this Sunday.

Now before you ask, we are starting afresh members wise. There are too many members here who don't post, so we are wiping the slate clean as far as members go, so you will have to sign up again. However, i am going to transfer the posts from each forum into their said sections, so the history of these sites will not be lost.

When that is done however, TommyBoydForum.com and IainLeeForum.com will no longer exist. The web addresses will link to the new site, but their lives as separate sites will be over as of this Sunday

I'll let you know of the new address when it is registered. Until then, feel free to comment

We will updating as soon as this change happens on Sunday.
