All I want to know is why did Gossip Girl Insider sell out to TV Fanatic?

Hey guys,
In an effort to stop "trolls," or whatever you kids are calling them these days, we have disabled guest posting in the forum.
We also did our best to try and help activation emails go out. If anyone is still having problems registering, let us know!

Will you guys still post news about the cast regarding their lives outside Gossip Girl?
Like when they have photo shoots, go on fashion shows, rumors, etc.
its not that i want it to be dark, but everything about the show has changed. now its more like a comedy than the amazing drama it used to be. rip gossip girl (and gossip girl insider thanks to this move to tvfanatic!! ugh)
this is random, but is GG filmed differently? It used to be all grayish and I loved it! but now its all sunny looking and bright :(

@age: Great question - and, yes, they are organized. For example, look at this:
http://www.tvfanatic.com/gallery/sexy-serenate/
Below the photo, "In This Photo" is written. You can then click on the Character names and click through pics of those characters. Make sense?
There's also "More Photos from "The Hurt Locket"" below the photo. Click on these and you can sort through pics from that episode.

unless i'm clicking on the wrong link, is there any way to organize the photos on tv fanatic? i loved that i could search by character, episode, behind the scences, etc. and right now seems like there's 300+ pics in one big pile :(

I'll admit, I'd rather things stay the same, but I checked out the new site and its decent.
My main issue was with how small everything looked, lack of previous round tables/caption contests, but when I checked it today the overall layout seemed larger, and problems resolved. I'm glad you guys are taking our suggestions/criticisms seriously.
One other thing- like many people have said, I'd really appreciate it if you'd use your GGI names for round tables. Reading the new round table w/t your new names kind of threw me for a loop.
But, not a bad job with the move. I'm sure I'll get used to it in time.

I agree with Kary!
Can you please put the Gossip Girl TV Schedule on the new site?
And please change the fonts!! It is so ugly!
Kary
February 27th, 2010 3:39 PM
Is it possible if you guys could also post up the episode schedule like you do here? That was one of the things I loved. Thanks!
Kinda sad about the move... But I hope you guys are having a smooth transition to the new site.

@efron: Freedom of speech has to do with one not being imprisoned due to one's beliefs. It has absolutely nothing to do with posting comments on a website.
We only deleted comments by people that listed another Gossip Girl fansite. We've worked very hard to produce an enjoyable experience for Gossip Girl fans and if you are so bitter that we simply changed URLs that you'll visit another fansite, that's your choice. It's equally our choice to not want that advertised on our website.

We will likely change back to our Gossip Girl names for Round Tables, but everyone please relax:
We are the same exact people, I assure you. The layout may appear the same for all shows on TV Fanatic, but look at the Gossip Girl page: it's unique in having ONLY Gossip Girl characters, stars, episodes, photos, etc. along its columns. Just take a look around for five minutes and you'll see the features are 100% the same and the content 100% the same, written by the same staff members.

The problems I have with the move are simply past experiences with the site. The layout is universal and binding for all the shows, and the updates are not as much (although I read promises of otherwise here in the comments). I loved seeing all the fans come together on this site, now it feel stripped away and just a branch of some corporation.
However, I love the site and will give this change a chance. I hope there truly are benefits to the move, and will look forward to hearing them.
why [in the new gossip girl round tables] do you refer to yourselves by different names?? I know they may be your real names or whatever but i wish you'd still be lovelylively, dandy, and gossip guy :( and please make the layout the same as on this site! now its smaller and not appealing and like someone else said, hard on the eyes. and PLEASE go by your gossip girl themed names!!

Hey guys, caption contest is still on Fridays and we'll be sure and leave you with one before the day is up. That said, I've migrated over the old caption contests and round tables!
Also, can anyone verify all their private messages migrated?

@Tantilimeest: It allows us to consolidate our efforts each day. It's a lot easier to update one site with new tools and features than test them out on multiple sites.
We also think fans will eventually embrace this change because they can get all the same Gossip Girl content at TV Fanatic, and then click one link to read about other shows they like. There's no drawback (same exact GGInsider content) and many advantages (other shows at your fingertips).
Serena: Congratulations, you've officially joined the dark side.
