I'm very pleased to announce that 4:3tv is 4 years old today! In the 4 years since we started, the forum has grown beyond belief, far exceeding what we anticipated. Over 1500 threads in place now and a staggering 49,500 posts! Membership has continued to steadily grow. You as members may not be aware that we still have in place the approval system for people wishing to join 4:3tv. This is likely to stay in place too for the foreseeable future as it has proven vital in keeping spam registrations out. Anyone applying for membership will continue to have to respond to a welcome email by giving us a little background info. Had this system not been in place, we would certainly be looking at a membership base of around 4-500. Even in the past week, we have had to reject a number of rogue registrations. Nothing has changed since we drew up the plans for this forum in regards that we are not the least bit interested in membership numbers - just members that contribute. As ever, those of you who are on here regularly and contributing to the topics (you know who you are!), we would like to thank you for the fantastic information you continue to share with other members. It's this information that ensures that we continue to be the #1 retro resource on the web. Long may that continue. Remember, when I did the structural work on the forum a few weeks back, I also created a brand new forum theme called "4 Years of 43tv" This is available to all members. You can find the new theme by going to Profile/Edit Profile/Settings and scroll down to "Forum Theme". From there, you can select the new theme, which is called "4 Years Of 43tv" and then remember to click "Save Account Settings" at the foot of the page. Here's to many many more years of success on 43tv - The Retro Channel. Thank you all Gene, Sam, Del & The Saint.

Well done Gene and the Admin team for creating and running this superb forum, not only on-line but also the excellent meets twice a year. I'd also like to echo Gene in thanking the contributors for providing the information that isn't available anywhere else. I have learned a lot and have watched some superb film and tv on the recommendations found here. Here's to many more years

Happy Birthday to the forum. I'm very glad that it's growing , and without compromising it's standards or allowing the wrong type of person in. The success is well deserved by Gene and the moderators, to say the least. Charles.

Absolutely many thanks as ever to Gene, Sam, Del and Saint for all the work they do and for the idea of setting up the forum in the first place, and now after 4 years what it has become and the knowledge we can share and post for all to enjoy and learn from with our common interest.
Always fascinating to pop on here most nights, other than when I'm out at the boozer listening to a band etc, but here's to many more years too!
