Some suitable music for this sad occasion......... ....and a few words........ Please feel free to leave a message!!!!!!
606 was dead for me since January, it hasn't let me log in for months in any case. It was the first online forum I ever used, being a relative newbie to computing.
606, a sign of modern Britain - a service loved by the public being shut down due to the need for cutbacks. Reminds me of my local post office. Like everything else, Gordon Brown and the Labour Government should be held responsible...
I stil liked the layout on 606 better than on here, there are posts on the opening page from three months ago...
But those are just the ones that have been replied to most recently, that's how they get there. It's ordered by most recently commented, whereas 606 articles were in one rigid 'last created' order so a good article from a week ago would be hidden but a crap one done today would be in its place on the front page.
That's the way it works if you haven't changed any settings, but you can set it up so you only see the things you've commented on, much in the way it was on 606(at least I understand you can, I've never actually tried).
