FORT Joins TVGuide.com Network

***John*** · 02-15-2007, 11:23 AM

I’m pleased to announce that Fans of Reality TV has officially joined the TVGuide.com online network. We’ll continue to provide the best reality TV community on the Web, but expect to see some exciting enhancements to Fans of Reality TV soon, including a TV Guide Listings Grid, a site redesign and more. We’ll continue to keep you posted as we make changes to the site in the upcoming weeks and months.

The official news release can be read HERE.

Please direct any questions to John, or post them here, and I'll try to answer.

Thanks, everyone! This means good things for the site and for you.

Congratulations John!

Your hard work it being noticed by people other than us FORT addicts.

Is the core of FORT going to change? I mean, you will still be in charge and the rules won't change, right?

***John*** · 02-15-2007, 11:37 AM

Yes, I'm still in charge of the site, and the rules won't change.

We'll be doing some stuff over the next few months to try to leverage TVGuide.com's resources (stuff like their tv listings, etc.), and they'll be adding some of our content to their site as well.

We'll probably do some changes here in the way of re-designing the site, while trying to maintain what people love about the site at the same time.

John, good move on both your parts.

John, that's fabulous news!!! Good for you... great recognition of your hard work!!!

Congratulations, John!!

I would say welcome to the big boys network, but you and FoRT have been THE big boys for discerning and insightful viewers for a long time now, so instead I'll say congrats to TVGuide.com for officially acknowledging the best viewer community around, as established by John, and for grabbing John before your competitors did. Smart move all the way around.

WOW! That's awesome John!

I look forward to the new changes but hope we still stay like the FORT we all know and love.

John, I'm really happy for you. You really put your heart and soul into this site and I'm glad for you. I am proud to be a member of the Fort. Much congratulations!

This is great news. Some of the survey questions seem to make much more sense now. But perhaps the two aren't related at all

. It'll be great to see this site receive much more recognition for its amazing forums and community/friendship/family like atmosphere.
