ABC & Sky One Pace

[D-Roc]

Due to Sky screwing around with the schedule and after much thought the LC will now have ABC paced Lost forums aswell as our current Sky One paced forums.

I don't feel it's condusive to the forum to restrict discussion which will be 10 days and 2 whole episodes behind the ABC showing.

Those of you who want to discuss the show at Sky One pace will be able to do so, and those of you who wish to discuss the show at ABC pace will be able to do so. You now have the 'choice'. Obviously if you do decide to discuss at ABC pace, then you're advised not to allude/hint/spoil anything for those operating at Sky One pace. But more on this later.

For those of you who do not understand this decision, it is unfortunate. However I feel that this is best move for the forum, and you now have the choice of what pace to discuss the show at. I believe that being in-line with ABC is important, crucial infact. Sky have merely forced my hand sooner.

To protect UK viewers against ABC paced spoilers, I will create a new ABC user-group, all this means is that if you don't want to see the ABC forums you simply opt into the SKy One usergroup via your UserCP - that's it - simple and painless. Nothing will change in terms of your membership, you'll just only see the forums that want to see. If you're an ABC paced viewer, then you'll see ALL forums, if you're a Sky paced viewer, then you'll see ALL forums except those ABC forums. If you happen to miss an ABC episode or not see it as early as normal, then you simply change yourself to 'Sky Viewer' until you do. It's that simple and much better than the previous method briefly employed a couple of months ago.

ABC Paced forums will be accessible from tomorrow (Sunday 27th April), to give me time to ensure that everything is working well, and then from each Thursday that a new episode airs.

Again, the choice is yours as to what pace you want to discuss Lost at, and as to whether this is where you want to discuss the show. I am just doing what I think is best for the forum in the long run, however disappointed you may or may not be

Any problems/concerns/questions, please post in the helpdesk.

Thank you for your opinions and feedback on this matter!

Edit: I may also need another Moderator, but i'll post more on this once i've sorted the new system out.
