TV Ark Forums
It was decided in late December 2005 by TV Ark's owners to close its forums. The forum closure was originally scheduled to close on 31st December, however was unceremoniously removed earlier than planned on 18 December. A new forum was setup by the former site admin (see external links) on a separate site. For a few months after the forum closure a link to these forums appeared on TV Ark before being removed. Since then TV Ark continues to operate as before with a new guestbook in place.
Other Changes
In the summer of 2006 it was announced on their home page that they were having a summer break and would relaunch the site in the future. It is unknown what will change on the site, however this is the most significant change to occur since it was originally created, a likely change may be its format from an HTML website to a Flash site, as the new logo on its previous web page was animated and played from the software. The site is now planned to be relaunched on 25 December, 2006. One last update in October coincided with video clips of the new BBC One 'Circle' idents.
