TV Clubhouse Members:

You've no doubt seen Neil's post about the sale of TVCH and the changing of ownership that has occurred. On behalf of all the TVCH Moderators who have served in the present and the past, we want to thank Neil for what he has done over the years to keep TVCH up and running. Now, we thank him for what he’s doing to make sure it remains open by selling it to a group of us.

Speaking of group...Are you wondering just who holds the key to the future of TVCH? Well, wonder no more! We’re not really into drama and unnecessary anticipation. So unlike the sadistic writers of Lost, who still haven't told us what is inside that darned hatch, we will be upfront right away.

Some of the names you've become familiar with over the years as moderators (and some you might be surprised about) have come together to purchase the board. They are:

Karuuna
Draheid
Spygirl
Lancecrossfire
Wargod
JMM
Max

These seven people have joined together to acquire the site from Neil and, in turn, will continue doing the job of moderating that they’ve been doing for 4-6 years as a team.

Within the partnership, Karuuna is the Owner/Administrator of TVCH. Draheid, appropriately so, carries the title of Technical Administrator, while Spygirl will be the General Administrator. While these three will work to form a triad leadership team, all seven will work together to form the primary moderating team.

However, the breadth of the team of people that will continue helping to keep TVCH going and growing is broader; there's just no way the job can be done alone. Over the years, TVCH has expanded focus, going beyond just Big Brother. At first, it was merely an expansion into other reality TV shows. Then we expanded to TV, then movies and books. Before we knew it, we had trip planning, parenting tips, recipes, online quizzes, and about 629 other life-related topics being posted year-round that eventually necessitated a daily update just so members could keep up with all the information! Wow! As you can well imagine, it takes more than 6 or 7 people behind the scenes to keep everything running as smoothly as possible. So, besides the above mentioned team, there is an additional group of dedicated individuals who have put in countless hours over the last several years in the moderator role. They are:

Ryn
Rabbit
Seamonkey
Heyitslori
Jan
Halfunit
Crossfire

They have been and continue to be invaluable assets in making everything happen. And happen well! . Thus you have it - the outline of the new ownership group and the team of those currently working either in the role of administrator or moderator to make TVCH a place you can all enjoy.

Now that you know who, maybe you are wondering what we have in store for TVCH? Right away, you will not see too many changes, but know that we have lots of improvements in the works. These are changes we anticipate you will really like, and we'll let you know more details as time goes on. To peak your interest about things to come, look for one of the upcoming changes featuring Rabbit fulfilling a new and intriguing role in which his title is “Chief Animoderator”

Neil was right when he identified this group as being focused on the welfare and direction of the board. We love this place and have committed to ensuring it continues. So, we’re very grateful to Neil for agreeing to let us "adopt" his baby TVCH. Without his vision and lots of hard work, none of us would be here and all of our lives would be a lot different. Together with all of you, TVCH has been a place where we've come over the years to have fun, air opinions, form friendships, and support each other. It's truly been a positive force for us and, we hope, for many of you as well. We have Neil to thank for that and we will never forget that.

Bear with us while we work out details. You'll see more communication from us as we go along -- we value your participation on the board and keeping TVCH a place you enjoy hanging out is at the forefront of our goals here. Like the folks at Yahoo! say, "You always have other options," and we want to make TVCH a place that you'll keep at the top of your list of places to hang out on the Internet. We really do plan on making TVCH the best reality TV discussion board on the WWW!

Thanks for your patience and understanding as we move into this new venture. And once again, thank you Neil for putting your trust in us to ensure that TVCH continues to be a thriving, enjoyable online community.


Sincerely,
TVCH Administrative Team
