Last night

With the three wise fourm type pages ending tomorrow it has been a week-end of goodbye message on Vibe,Chatterbox and Backchat. Actully only backchat has got an esspecially enthusastic and sentimental response. No-one can get very passionate about TV. Music a touch more. But an open fourm with a dedicated readership seems to get a very passionate response, albiet from a small number of people.

Infact this very site(Blogger) is now hosting a web-version of backchat and there is an online petion a foot to return Backchat to text. Links at the side of the page. Incase I forget though the name is backchatforever inside the usual blogger adress. If you unfamilar with that just look at the adress of this page. I have to say I'm quite sure if the way it's currently formatted is going to be viabible. The paramount mailbox is a good example of how it could be done. But I suppose that would be more difficult it blog form. It's got a mention from text backchat anyway so it should get more hits than your average blog.

I don't know if there will be another issue of backchat, vibe or chatterbox(crap name) or if they will die in the night, but goodbye to them etheir way.

PS: As a Northern Irish person I think it's law I have to pay tribute to George Best. Hyperbolic media coverage aside though, a true legend.
