A sad day for TheAvengers.TV as
after seven years in one form or another, TheAvengers.TV
International Forum closes its doors forever. The closure is
due to a catalogue of disasters on the hosting front that have in
the past six months brought site and forum access literally to its
knees. David K. Smith and his lieutenants at TheAvengers.TV decide
to bow out and hand over the baton to someone else. |

Forum |

After a temporary Yahoo! group
is set up by Kimberley Thompson for the purpose of keeping
the forum discussion going and to discuss a way forward, Kim and
Allard Postma seize the initiative and launch a brand new
forum within a day of the closure of the one at TheAvengers.TV.
The Avengers — The International Fan Forum picks up the
baton and becomes a regular haunt for Avengers fans.
TheAvengers.TV webmasters including David K. Smith and
Alan Hayes (who joins the new forum as an administrator)
give the new forum their full support and The International Fan
Forum remains the only external website or forum ever linked
from TheAvengers.TV's gateway page. |

Seven years to the day since
The Avengers Forever moved across to TheAvengers.TV
servers, and twelve years after the site had launched as The
Avengers @ dsmith, David K. Smith decides the time has come when
the site updates have to stop. He has run out of time and the
inclination to invest energy in the website, and reveals that the
site will remain online indefinitely but is entering "the stasis
chamber". He will only update the site if "something truly
extraordinary happens". A terribly sad occasion, but the bitter
pill is sweetened by the fact that David's incredible website is
still there to enjoy. |
