Any AV Forum exiles/UK members?

I doubt anybody was convinced by Peckers postings, it was so obviously rabid garbage that anyone with a brain would have bought Blu-ray instead. The real problem at AVF was the mods and others who encouraged the 'Dual Format' idea as a sensible option, with the idea that HD-DVD was the best first HD purchase. Because it was 'cheap'.

Deleting and banning anyone who disagreed with this policy effectively meant that they were propagating the myth that HD-DVD had any chance of success. It never did, it was impossible for it to win from the beginning and anyone who claimed otherwise was lying.

Just another example of the lunatic rantings of the HD DVD fanboys. This one came from the feedback page on DVD Times website:

I really do not think HD films will catch on with Joe Public. I really do think it will be a more successful version of Laserdisc. The format after Blu-ray will become the successor to DVD in my opinion.

So, HD will not catch on as long as it's Blu-ray. But, some unknown format that comes after Blu-ray will succeed? Obviously that new format won't be HD as "I really do not think HD films will catch on with Joe Public".

I am soooo glad that the HD DVD fanboys lost. They have to be the most annoying, deluded things on the face of the Earth.

Have to agree with that - the mods are just as responsible as the likes of Pecker. Now I know they secretly and randomly ban, delete and modify messages to propagate their own agenda I dont see how anyone could take the site seriously.

Its a shame because it was always better than thedvdforums (which is just run by megalomaniac morons IMO) but you have to wonder if any advice you take from their has been manipulated in some way.

Are there ANY decent AV / film forums out there??? (apart from this one of course ).

Unfortunately he was often backed in his general views (not specifics) by those who had more credibility.

Not to mention many who challenged these views with a pro Blu-ray perspective (even when backed by facts) were portrayed as out of control fanboys with no grasp on reality.

I guess realities hit hard now.
