Hi, I am User:Muchi. For some reason I can't login in either Game Spot and TV.com, it always says that the combination of my email and password are invalid, and when I try to request a new password it doesn't work either, this is happening to me about one week. I tried to email them but they I haven't got any answer from them, as they probably haven't even read it. And from what I know TV.com has some technical problems with their website as well. I hate TV.com Bring TVTome back It someone can help please tell me.
This article should say what TV programmes the site covers. I couldn't see an explicit policy on About TV.com or anywhere else on the site. The site is run by a company based in the USA and some of the content (eg listings) is heavily US-centred but I'm not sure how coverage of US English-speaking programmes compares with other English-speaking countries. There are some British shows but these may be ones that have been broadcast in the USA. Within the USA it seems only to cover the English language - I tried a few Spanish-language shows from the USA and couldn't find any of them on TV.com. I've added "the site covers television and focuses on English-language shows made or broadcast in the United States" but please improve on that if you can. -- Andy Smith ( talk) 14:25, 21 October 3000 (UTC)
TV.com is a superb site, and I don't know why anyone would want TVTome back over this site. It is awesome.
No it isn't. Tvtome didn't have all those bugs and pop-up and evil mods. Andrew120 22:12, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
Wrestlingfan4life 23:47, 4 January 2007 (UTC) i can't agree or disagree but i don't know why your complaining the levels...um that is so damn childish i dont even like the levels what is the point of it.
Having no
references or sources, the entire criticism section is suspect. Wikipedia is not a soapbox, a place to put your personal complaints about subjects. If there are no objections, I shall remove this entire section in a week's time. --

Objection- I am a former editor for TvTome, now retired due to Tv.com's practices. When the change went through in June, I was missing 2 months of info from my guides. We're talking info from first of April to the first of June. May sweeps material. That stuff was lost by the engineers, and they didn't bother to replace it or give an explination. When I confronted the modirators on it, I was shunned from the Forum, and quickly banned within a week. I quiestioned their decisions, and I was removed for it. Plus, I know of several editors who were banned from TvTome the day before the transfer. They were singled out as people the staff did not want operating there. I can't vouch for the entire article, but I will defend the material I know to be true on there. And I guarentee if you leave it up and wait, you'll get several others in here posting how horrible the site is, and how true that info is. --GenuineMind--
Comment- No offense, but how are we supposed to catalog, reference and research things that happened behind the scenes when the site was first starting? Especially when we know for a fact no one at Tv.com or Cnet will verify any of it. And since they won't verify, they'll push to have it removed at any cost. Think of Cnet as Enron three years before the scandle. Do you think any of them would have admitted to wrongdoing without the printed evidence? If you can't trust the very people who were involved, who can you trust? Deleting the info on this site would not only put another nail in the already buried coffin, but would show that a small group of people can dictate history any way they wish. And again, no offense, but you will have helped them. --GenuineMind--
Comment- And I guess you can't count people who were actually there, people who can verify they worked there, have emails and posts to show they were ignored and banned, and evidence on the webpages themselves to show info was lost. Considering the situation, and the fact that it's a bad website with a corrupted server, how much more official can you get? --GenuineMind--

You want email, I'm going to have to ask for a private area or an email from you. I'm not posting that info up in a public place. Need more profiles, I can get them. --GenuineMind--
No one has cited relevant references or sources to back it up, so I conclude that all of it is opinion. To improve this encyclopedia, I'm removing the entire section tomorrow. Opinions are not facts, and facts are not opinions. When the time comes that you have facts from reliable sources, not your own observations and experiences, you're welcome to add factual information to Wikipedia. -- Perfecto 00:08, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
The entire section about the forums was one giant flame war and "bad people list" and I have removed it. If there is encyclopedic, sourced information we can add here, please do. ( ESkog)( Talk) 21:46, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
Umm, thanks. Us tvrage.com members check wiki out once and a while, and I want you to know that everything here is public, and not your little spy meeting place. This page should be removed because its not neutral enough. Andrew120 22:11, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
I looked up that "AFD" for the sites' recent article deletion and it was HARDLY a "negative" consensus, there were more pros than cons from a good number of voters, methinks it was a question of netural POV...that, and maybe just some people are too corporate for their own good User: Dr. R.K.Z
"Evidence of that can be had by counting noses, above... a strict count shows more keeps than deletes. But the consensus here is nevertheless delete as many of the keeps aren't "real" participants." Agent0042 02:34, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
This article is a messy jumble of copied-and-pasted content. It's one step away from being in need of a complete rewrite. Sean Hayford O'Leary 03:28, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
It was better when it was just criticism, at least it didn't feel like a CNET press release about their site. Badlands17 14:38, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
Is that tag still necessary, or the article is OK now?

I've just eradicated several sections from the article (the end result is only a few paragraphs left). Hopefully what's left can be used as the building blocks to create a decent article.

All of the site's forum's appear to have been abolished. Any link going to a forum will take you to "communities" instead. I haven't found explanations about this internally or on any other site. If anyone has a verifiable explanation I'd be interested to know about it. Bjones ( talk) 16:52, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
