Great first I thought my life is complete with tvtome on my side now it's over! Now it's called tv.com! Who agrees with me?!:crying:

Agreed. I withheld judgment until today, when it was finally complete. And it sucks. I was editor for three episode guides and two talent guides, and all of my work has gone down the tubes. The episode guides only retained summaries and cast/crew info. I spent a lot of time filling in the Notes sections with tons of trivia and stuff, and they're all gone now. TV.com sucks, and I'll never go there now.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Frikkin' nerf herders! :mad:

I can't even use tv.com. Search doesn't work, and all the flash ads slow down my computer.

How long will tv tome stay in Google as 1# result when you search for cast or an episode guide? Along with IMDb. I guess that's what I'll be using now.

Nothing we do will undo what was done, because we can't do anything.

Well, the trivia section is still there. It's just that it doesn't appear a lot of it was transfered over. One of my talent guides still has the trivia/notes that I had up, but not on any of my episode guides.

The TV.com admins have acknowledged that the notes, trivia and goofs are screwed up and are working to fix it.

It really isn't that bad, and they're still working on the site. Give the people behind TV.com some time. And for those that were editors for specific shows on TV Tome, did you guys try using the "TV Tome Conversion Tool" to get credit for all the contributions on TV Tome? I'm not sure if it'll still work, but it's worth a shot.

Its quite good really, I think its mostly because people are having time copeing with the change which is why people dont like it.

The only problem I have with it is that they don't list all the shows of a certain letter in one page, its a bit of a pain trying to work out what page is were :shrug:

Yes, I miss TVTome too.

It had more info and less adverts. And you understand what to do there to. Now TV.com shoves a skipfull of adverts shoved into it and all it cares more about is it's forums, than what TVTome was more about: the TV shows.

R.I.P. TVTome ?-2005.

Martianinvader
06-14-2005, 04:36 PM
I don't think it cares about its forums either. There are no images or avatars allowed....I know TVTome couldn't allow it, but TV.com looks like it could easily give us the ability to have these things.

The forums I've seen are extremely dismal....ones for the most popular shows have only 3 pages of topics, and nobody knows how to spell.

Their "weekend TV DVD roundup" (the first of which appeared last night) is a joke; it's only a copy-paste of advertising blurbs for the new sets, not comprehensive reviews or anything we might want to know.

It will be missed.

But, since I had no specific claims to anything, I didn't copy anything down. But, then again, a few years ago, I copied some Cartoon Network show info from TVTome.

TvTome was my longest Code Lyoko home, reached 1000 posts before the close, and the way I post that's alot. I've done some whining about the really ugly icons and the difficulty navigating within the forum, and so far I've managed to ignore the two who keep popping in just to post how terrible TV.com is and how much fun their site is, and the other one who is drooling to take the guide, I don't think he stands a chance, I really hope not, and a forth urging him on because he's still mad at the old guide for locking all of his spam/arguing threads. :shrug: There's a chance we can hold it together, but a real fourm with real admins and unobtrusive adds is much, much better.

..Alongside easy-to-god access and scrolling, now you have to look through pages for five episodes as opposed to a full season, it takes you years to navigate through that crap.

Bubblegum Girl

And TvTome had all of those spoilers from episodes that already aired in Canada and/or other countries(Ex Teen Titans, Fairly OddParents, etc.). And it was easy for me to find certain episodes and movies & specials. Tv.Com doesn't have that. How am I suppose to read spoilers if they're not there? :sad::(:crying:

06-15-2005, 10:05 PM
I'm still undecided, tv.com seems pretty well done from what I've checked out. I guess I won't really be able to test it untill I need something and see if they can deliver. I never really was too dependent on tvtome in the first place thus most likely why I feel this way.

Get over it

Its a website, yes TVTome was the biggest TV website around, and now it just has a new name and look. Its still a new site, they are still working on it. You guys upset about no notes, quotes, ect. Its called a new start. They have all those sections, just rewatch the episodes, and readd the information. No need to get a hissy fit over a new start.

Within a year it will be just like TVTome again with the batches of information. This place is more reliable, less chance of faulty information slipping by. The New Look is better, and the ads? Well this is a HUGE site. TONS of pages for each show, episode, ect. how do they pay for them? Ads. You don't want ads? Fine then they can start a paid members club and you'll never see it again unless you pay.

The look is more organized and its TVTome and MORE for members. Just settle down and get used to it. You leaving TV.com wont help bring TVTome back, its the SAME SITE. If you hate TV.com then you have hated TVTome this whole time. This is a modern TVTome coming out of its shell finally. Just live with it.

There are FAKE SHOW GUIDES on the site, fake episode titles in obscure show guides, false episode listings on the P.R Guide ("Messenger 1" was listed as the 6,000000th episode)

Why don't you actually do some homework on this mess before trying to tell me this is a "Reliable" system? You're not even in the trenches like I am

People, don't listen to that measure of rambling, the editors, past, and present, are the ones who have to do deal with the REAL issues, and we actually know what is and what is'nt a good system, there only making changes now because WE'RE telling them to get thier smegging act together.

With the garish graphics, unusual navigation, and the inability to reclaim my old TV Tome account and to make a new account, I have finally reached the verdict that the new website is very unhelpful at this point. I will just take a break from the forums and do something else.

I agree with the Giant, too. I've been over there for the past few days trying to tell some of the people complaining that TV.com isn't going anywhere, and John Nestoriak is the man that sold it to $5 million. I would have done the same, if I were Nestoriak. It's not like everyday someone would offer you that much money. I've been on TV Tome for eight months before the site was re-directed. I had a lot of trouble registering. I didn't receive any confirmation emails until I tried to register again weeks later. It was okay. It had some good information. I totally hated their servers, though. Some TV show forums were permanently closed, too.

When I first visited TV.com in May, I felt like the site had loads of potential. I come back earlier in the month to look how much that site had changed. It's definitely much better. Though there are still things that needed work, and registration had jumped (and some had trouble registering) this week (it's expected, when TV Tome is redirected), I'm already liking TV.com a whole lot better than TV Tome. The servers are a whole lot more reliable than before. The look is up-to-date (it's time to get with the times, TV Tome looked like something from the 1990s).

Some guys act like the site is so difficult to use. I found it fairly easy, if you take the time to look. It'll only get better, in my book.

I am an editor there and even though I'm happy I still have my the Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 guide, I am no longer the editor for Super Mario World or Gravedale High which makes me mad because I contributed a lot to those guides. I also edited a lot people guides as well and now I don't have any of them anymore, so I don't really like what the new TV.com.:(

What you describe as "whiner", I describe as "concerned editors trying to maintain something that was'nt broken, and was more reliable in it's previous format"

John did'nt do jack to maintain the sites' good reputation, he only worked to maintain the sites' functions and give the people who REALLY made the site the jobs of editing the shows, if it were'nt for people like me, TVTOME would be considered a complete joke as opposed to only a half-truth.
