In January of 2011, the BBC made the announcement of its intent to close its sports forum at the end of the 2010/11 football season due to cost cutting across the corporation. From the fallout of this announcement, the decision was made by some of its members to set up an alternative. 

606v2 was born shortly afterwards. 

The creation of 606v2 was simple in its origin - create a home where the various sporting communities could migrate to post May 2011. The original concept was to create a work friendly replacement where members could continue the discussions and friendships that had been created at the BBC - an online community for all. 

The forum grew quickly and continues to grow today. In 12 months, 3,800 members have already made the move to this site, which boasts over 3 million hits per month. This growth has allowed us to evolve, too. From the ashes of the BBC forum, 606v2 evolved into something more. 

From a mere forum, the 606v2 site has spawned the v2 Journal.

From humble beginnings, the v2 spirit no longer debates the news, it writes about it and creates the debate.
