Could be, and I never really knew Bob, but I'm guessing it's him. Bob helped Steve to create the web site initially, then bowed out of an active role and moved on to other projects, of which he had many. I guess Bob has high standards for web design, although it's kind of ironic that the look he now considers so awful is pretty much what he helped design in the first place! It just hasn't changed with the times, as his other designs presumably have. Anyway, I have only good wishes for Bob Hoey, as he is partly responsible for creating the site that has brought me much joy over the years.

If Bob was referring to the look of the Forum specifically, I make no apologies for the choice. Our original Forum host disappeared one day with almost zero notice, and I looked hard to find one that was similar, because I really don't like the alternatives that do things like force you to choose a sub-category, or have no options for how to view the threads, etc., and some are actually pretty ugly. Bravenet is fine, and once we opted to pay for the "Pro" option to make the ads go away, we've been happy with it. The important factor, of course, is the fan contributions, which remain first-rate with almost none of the trolling that dominates other forums.

This is great site and I greatly appreciate it. Maybe the writer is doing some trolling. Just for myself - normally when I don't have anything to do with something for a decade I don't care much about it when I finally return to it. And if something did decay which is not the case here, I would feel I should not say anything because I did not make an effort to help for such a long time.

It's fine. Keeping this website maintained (and paid for) and having a place for such an active forum is much appreciated. Oh, and just one more thing: Thanks.

Yes, thank you. I love this site and am grateful for it!!

I am a newcomer and I enjoy this website. I look forward to new topics and responding to them. I had the opportunity to start a new topic and I had many responses.

I’ve been posting on the forum for about ten years. I take breaks now and then, but I love having a place to obsess about a great show that has brought me so much enjoyment. I feel less like a freak around you guys because most of you you are just as obsessed, lol.

I’ve been enjoying Columbo since my childhood. It helped relax me when I was building a business and working 95 hours a week. I still watch Columbo late at night. It’s my guilty pleasure.

So, needless to say, when I found a website like this I was overjoyed. I don’t know what anybody else expected, but the forum is what’s most important. I really don’t know how I could improve this site. Better graphics? Who cares?

I also understand the work, time and money that goes into running a website like this. Kudos to Ted and anyone else for your efforts in bringing us together.

Love the content of this site but find it hard to use because the older design is not mobile-responsive. However that takes time & money to update an old website and transfer to newer forum formats. Do the people who run this site want to update it? If so, what kind of help would be appreciated? Thanks.
