Digital Spy/AVF Watch

I always felt there was a lot of misogyny on there. Lots of incel types who blamed women for all their problems.

god is DS STILL going

I thought Hearst woulldve had the whole thing shut by now


I very briefly tried AV but realised Tattle is where you can say within reason WHAT THE HELL YOU LIKE

Anyone seen the chose about the "DS Soap Awards". The wrong person started the thread, there was a war, and now they are both "hosting" together. What a total shit show. Who cares that much. I had to laugh at Mr.Pitkin telling them all to "GROW UP!!! NOW!!!!" on every second post and Tanya telling a story about the time she hosted an award ceremony and hooked up with whoever it was.

I think I mentioned this on here before on one of those “count to one million” threads (WHAT is the actual point to those threads btw?) and when they were reaching the milestone “non regulars” began to contribute and the tantrums that someone not in the gang would take the million spot was HILARIOUS

There was some right weird people on there. I remember LostPigeon, also Dundee Lad and Ayrshire Man I think he was called who was also bloody rude.

 

[Magwitch]

Yes! I am interested, although I haven’t been on either for ages. I came here from DS when they shut down most of the threads. I can’t believe I spent so long there now. There were some absolute horrors posting there and the moderation was batshit. Some excellent trolls there through the years though.

I only really read the Soap, LBC, Sport and Advice threads and my word there are some nasty, nasty people on there. By far the LBC one is full of the most opinionated, toxic individuals.

I don’t get the the gang up on Occy mentality. He/she is harmless.

Someone asked about DS poster Anne666 I asked a friend from DS she is well but doesn’t do social media just thought I would let those asking know.

There were a few creepy guys people had run ins with

I had a guy PM me asking if I was a virgin. I can't remember who it was or what could have prompted it but good example of the sort of weirdos that have always been on that forum.

Of present members still posting I am most creeped out by James2001. He's one of the nastiest people I've seen in twenty plus years online, constantly tearing into anyone who does not think exactly like him. The stuff he gets away with posting beggars belief.

Who remembers SweetPrincess ?

She would post divvy questions about serious topics. I remember when the Malaysian Airline went missing, she would post things like -

‘they should just try and find it’
‘why don’t they just look harder?’

She used to post in the mass shootings threads with classics such as these -

"Why don't they just stop shooting people ?"

On AVF, another previously ridiculed opinion that all the main political parties are basically the same, is now becoming accepted among those who voted Labour. Many of the posters who voted Labour last year and piled on anyone who dared to suggest "they are all the same", are today incandescent with rage at Starmer's crackdown on benefits policy and vowing never to vote Labour again! Who would have thought the wise old sages on AVF could get things so massively wrong......again? Meanwhile, most of those who actually called it correctly are no longer around to engage in the discussions due to the biased moderation policy implemented by Stuart Wright!

Koantemplation would always write 'Yay!' whenever the narrator on The Undateables said that a participant had autism. It always made me think "That's probably not quite how their parents reacted to the diagnosis.".

 

[ColaMonster]

Who was the one that pretended to be Dev from Coronation Street ? There posting style was written to be as if it was Dev himself creating the forum posts ?

 

[ColaMonster]

Here is a DS classic -

Skin colour around the anus lol — Digital Spy

 

[DrLoomis]

Another member of the forum police was Macca. He really wanted to be a mod and would check every new thread to make sure it complied to his rules. He also never seemed to like any TV show or film and generally just didn't have anything positive to say about anything. Someone would post about a show "Anyone else watching" and he would reply "Nope, would rather rip my eyes out than watch this dross".

 

[h3lt3rsk3lt3r]

A recently departed forum had an invaluable thread on the insanity/hilarity that is Digital Spy and more recently AVForums. Each site having its own crazy cast of characters including batshit crazy moderators, scandals etc

Any interest in this one?

 

[Notworthy]

Tanya I don’t what? This isn’t 80s prep school.
View attachment 3397452

Is she fantasising that she attended a Swiss Finishing School now.

Jurassic Mark, what a miserable poster he is. There is a thread about the Pope's death, he has taken it over to tell us that there is no afterlife, unless we can provide EVIDENCE!!!!!!!!!

I have a feeling that dude barely leaves his house and also has no social contact with anyone in real life, no friends, never had a partner, has never travelled, etc.

When he describes something as “in my experience…”, what he actually means is: “I saw a tv documentary that said…”

I actually had this conversation with him. I can’t remember exactly what it was about, but he said “in my experience, Americans are like this/that/act like [xyz]”. I asked him something like “who in the US? whereabouts in the US? When? Cos my experience [not that I’m an expert, but I’m an overseas US Resident, married to an American citizen, have American family and friends, and have been to the US, many times over the last ten years, and to several different states], my encounters have been very different to yours”. Or words to that effect.

He got pissy and, just as I thought, he made it obvious that he’s never been to the US and doesn’t know any Americans, but still really believes his “experience” is valid cos he saw/read it on a screen.

He’s a plonker. A typical know-it-all that knows absolutely nothing!

 

[ColaMonster]

I think they had alt accounts and would constantly argue with themselves to make it look like two different people. He got rumbled when he forgot to log out of one account and tried to backtrack by adding ''coo coo'' to the end of a post.
