ORANGE FORUMS HAVE CLOSED!

After more than a decade online, on Saturday 23 July 2011 Orange forums closed.

No doubt regular forum users noticed the number of contributors gradually reducing, and a platform that was creaking a little with old age. It's for these reasons we took this decision; we hope you understand.

But don't worry! There are plenty of other places across the Orange network where you can carry on putting the world to rights, crowd-sourcing information or just having a good old moan about sport, TV, current affairs and more.

Why not check out Orange World's sparkling message boards on your mobile? You'll find every topic under the sun being pored over - from the aforementioned sporting, televisual and news titbits to relationships and parenthood, confessions and jokes - in the Create & Share section. (If it's football banter you're after, you'll definitely be in the right place.)

And don't forget there's a relentlessly talkative, ever-growing community on the Orange.co.uk site, happily picking over the hot issues of the day in the comments section under whatever story takes your fancy.

For Current Affairs Orange.co.uk/news
For TV & Soaps Orange.co.uk/television
For Football Orange.co.uk/sport
For Celebs & Style Orange.co.uk/celebs
For Films Orange.co.uk/film

Finally, there's all manner of fun to be had over on Twitter: celeb-spotting at @orange_celebs, movies at @orangefilm, peculiar news stories at @orange_quirkies and football facts galore at @askthegaffer. (If you haven't encountered Twitter before, now's a perfect time to start: visit Twitter.com for more details and to register for free.)

Enjoy, and thanks for making the forums at Orange - and Wanadoo, and originally Freeserve - some of the web's liveliest destinations since 1998.
