Yes it did...
The ntl owned site: nthellworld.com closed it's doors - having forseen what was going to happen the team from nthellworld.com (That was me and Neil at the time) created nthellworld.co.uk, this domain was kept for insurance purposes and it caused a lot of red faces within ntl's Hook offices when it suddenly appeared one evening on the 20th June 2003. The community.ntl.com project was shelved shortly after, along with nthellworld.com.
In 2004 nthellworld.co.uk, which was an already fully flourised forum renamed itself to cableforum.co.uk - the rest is history.
Getting back to this new VM community - I am curious as to why they have decided to do this now - I have been several times to Virgin Media / ntl meetings with top directors and once a former Chief Executive and asked them to stop harassing staff who post on sites such as our own - VM have told me several times at these meetings that they could never have official staff posting because of the legal ramifications if any staff member was to post something the company didn't agree with nor support.
I am sure the VM community support forum will do well but I share my fellow team members views that you cannot compare the two and nor do I want to go back to the old days where we have a 'them' and 'us' situation.
