    "The 606 website will shut down on 26th May 2011 - the shut down came about in order to focus audience's attention interactivity by capturing the conversation around the biggest sports stories and events via different mediums. We would like to thank the current 606 users for all their posts and comments over the years. It is worth stressing that the 606 radio show on 5 Live will continue - and we are considering ways for the audience to interact with 606 on the 5 Live website, focused around the radio programme.

    BBC aren't the brightest when it comes to their site. Since their much protested News site redesign the site popularity evened out and then began a steady decline, they still won't accept that they screwed up and then they go even further and remove another huge source of site visitors by getting rid of 606.

    To be fair the Beeb are idiots. Take a look here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mb606/F2241574
    They've still got the old style 606 board up from when it first opened up until 2006.
    They also have all their old articles from when they first opened their website up until now, I'm sure they could save a bucket load by pruning these to only the bare essential articles that they feel are most important & they could still keep the non essential articles on an offline database anyway.

    A bit sad in a way, after all it was the old 606 that brought most of us onto this forum in one way or another.

    The layout reminds me of this forum more than the 606 as it is now...

    Ah right, I seem to remember a post on 606 before we migrated that was encouraging us to come over to a board full of the old guard, was that the one you joined?
