The best people here? Yes, the ex-TV Tome people here are great. The best people though, (the smartest) have moved to TVRage.
This will be my final blog here on this horribly failed site.
I believe, and will say TVRage is as a great improvement on TV Tome, as tv.com is a failure (sorry for the word play). I can’t even begin to explain just how TVR is a better site.
I can’t say if Snide screwed this site up on his own; but I can say he did NOTHING to make it better. Snide clearly hated the TV Tome users here. That much is clear in the rules he laid out with his limits on users submitting stuff here.
I really miss the old TV Tome, but I really love the new TV Tome replacement at TVRage! It’s like TV Tome on steroids! I’ll blog at you there.
Yes, I mean I’m gone. Yes, I mean the people I like are contributing there. So I’m gone from this horrible site. Bye.

Okay, I have found out why I should be here – the people. I am here because although this site sucks, I love the people. Can someone grow relationships over the net? I say defiantly yes! I look for the blogs, and love to hear peoples feelings; their thoughts.
I love to Blog, and love reading other’s blog’s. Yeah, not so much the stat blogs though. What’s up with that? Do I care about someone else’s level? Their denial number? Please, get over that / yourself. It’s just not that important to us. And yes, some of my best fiends are doing this. Sorry guys. Use a title, create a blog – stat’s not so much (okay, none at all).

Why am I here, and why do I have to post negative blogs about this site, versus ones praising how things are going here?
I wake up every day expecting to see improvements here. Maybe even seeing the bugs being fixed. Instead, I’ve seen months go by where this site steadily craters! On the current bug (of many bugs), Snide blogs the problem is fixed. Two days later, the problem has not been fixed. Thanks Snide(?).
People are leaving. Ok, the really good ones never came over (like Faris). They could see that TV Tome was gone and nothing would replace it. The were correct.
This (tv.com) site reinforces my admiration of John and what he accomplished with TV Tome, versus what the mighty CNET was able to completely fail at. I love the blog feature. however I would gladly give it up to get a TV Tome “like” site back.
Digger3000 is working on a replacement site, and I recommend everyone here help his site out. My view of Digger3000 has taken a 180 degree turn, after seeing his site [http://betaboards.gotdns.com/teleguides/all_shows.php]. We’ll always disagree on his lost “carry over” TV Tome points here, but since their gone for all of us now, what the hey, I say. Yeah, maybe he’s right, maybe someone who loves this stuff should be allowed to fix it, versus people who just clock in every day. Ouch!
I want to really express my feelings about this site, but my manners prohibit it. I will congratulate John though. The best business deal one can do is to sell one’s company to an idiot, then buy it back later for a much reduced price, after they have screwed it up. That’s business genius! Yes, I’m saying that John and a revamped TV Tome will reappear once his non-compete clause with CNET expires. And yes, I don’t think the PTB can ever get this site fixed.

Clive Cussler is one of my favorite of the three “C’s” (Clive Cussler, Tom Clancy, and Michael Crichton). He is a good read. Every book he has written is very enjoyable. Very James Bond like, but better. Dirk Pitt is just more fun.

FuManchu-tvt must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could FuManchu-tvt possibly have for not rating a single film?
