I just read that TV Tome has been sold to tv.com and the servers with the archives will be down soon Sad That is really bad news, tvtome had the best infos on all the shows and i used it alot to get infos on new shows and all that.

Source (i know its old news but i never heard about it until tonight)

Cnet will probably ruin it to a certain extent with a lot of ads, messed up reviews, ect

edit: ahhhh nvm they've just bought it prolly just "merged" the two companies, cant really blame them Smile

Well it's not that easy toeffy. The content of the site was voluntarely submitted by other people in their spare time, the owner of the dns and site actually didnt even write one of the show guides himself. It's more like a ripoff because he sold content he didnt create, i only hope the db is allowed to be transfered to another site, although i doubt it.

I hate the new design, it's one of those multimedia designs we see now everyday. Tvtome however was kinda oldskool, the info was in the center of attention, not some schnick schnack, it's much harder to get the info now :/

oh ok, i didn't know that. now that's really something differrent. well i think now i depends on how tv.com will deal with the content.
