I've just read it and it was indeed referring to the C4 News forums.
Thing is, in a perfect world you'd have a mod actually saying something or at least keeping us in the loop but then they've got a long history of ignoring their users so I really can't imagine anything happening and we'll either get a sticky thread appear one day saying the forums are closing or we'll just turn up one day and they'll be gone.
The (other) thing is, i do get why they're probably not saying much at the moment though because it would descend in to a free-for-all here and it would very likely end up having them close the forums a lot earlier because it would be a lot easier than trying to moderate all the "hilarious" libellous threads.
I know I said earlier i didn't think it would be that bad but that's only if the forum had 24 hours notice. If they announced that the forum was closing in a week or a fortnight, i
do think it would be that bad here.

Nah, I wouldn't go there, although i'd probably be bloody minded enough to go there for the short term because i've been told I "wouldn't last five minutes" there, so i'd certainly have fun disproving that notion.
It wouldn't be because of the many things they've said about me over the years either, because that bothers me about as much as an itchy arse would but ultimately, I wouldn't go there because, to be respectful to them, the feel of their forum and style of posting just isn't for me.
