Ohhhh I missed that completely, I had no idea his identity was exposed!

Sounds like she was one of many women my age range who had a “bAd bOy” fetish in the late 90s-mid 2000s and learned the hard way when they ended up alone with a baby and the guy just didn’t care. I had many a friend/acquaintance who suffered the same.
If I’m to be perfectly honest i’d have most likely ended up the same way, round about the same age, as I had the same weakness for exact guys like that back in the day, but I’m a guy so cant get pregnant. I don’t know how many children I would have now if I could 😮 …although if I was a woman my mentality would be different as to what I think as a man and it wouldn’t be the same trajectory I don’t think.

human nature is one of the most insufferable cunts on the whole of DS. I can't read their stomach churning posts.

It's weird how the mods let Broadcasting be the personal playground of a special few. I mean, it's a nice thread at least but wtf does the international space station have to do with broadcasting? Nothing, of course, but people cried about losing the astronomy thread when general discussion closed so...

I remember ForestChav, actual pdfile with fetishes for schoolboys in trainers or something like that.

There were so many wronguns on there who openly boasted of their warped leanings. DS became something of a haven for these freaks in the last days of the general discussion/politics forums. Never understood why Hearst seemed to court such people while banning anyone normal!
Wait, really?

The politics forum was appalling for bulliying... though only one side was sanctioned by the mods, of course. If you fought back, stood up for youself, disagreed, you got banned.

It's a better message board without those subforums but I'm really surprised it's still going at all. It can't make much money. I don't think you can even register there anymore.
That's the reason why I left and closed my account. The moderation was absolutely appalling and very one sided.
Trust Pilot reviews (just checked - currently rated 1.2 out of 5 out of average review votes) nearly all mention this.

I recall someone being banned simply for replying "I agree" when someone said they did not think JK Rowling was transphobic. I can't remember who but what utter lunacy.
Yep, that was the deranged levels of utter stupidity that moderation sank to in the end. Lunatics running the asylum.

Urban75 was one of the first big general discussion forums. It used to be very left-leaning in a late-90s anarchist sort of way.
Yes exactly. Still is. That's the issue - they go on about the books they've read, marches they've been on etc but they're just as bad perhaps even worse than the equivalent thread on here

I miss the General Discussion and Politics forums. As nasty as they could get, especially politics, the absolute fruitloops on there made me feel better about myself! :LOL:
Ah The digital Spy politics forum. Those were the days. Had a few disagreements in there. 🤣🤣

Further to the above post, it looks like Stuart's initiative hasn't gone down too well, even with one of the mods.

Ruufio says : Why do more people need to see this than all the stuff that has happened under the previous government?
Stick it in the politics forum where it belongs!

Rousetafarian (moderator) says : I’m not overly thrilled that we can expect those members restricted from Politics commenting in GC on a politically based thread tbh.

SDMDAM says : Totally disagree, it's a political video pure and simple and it should be in the politics forum. If anyone else posted this video here, it would be moved and we would be reminded that we have a politics forum. Appreciate you are the founder but shouldn't forum rules apply to everyone equally?
Good to see people are calling out that hypocritical site owner. It is his site of course, and if he wants to act superior, and patronise/alienate members just because they don’t think the same as him politically, then that’s up to him…but like you I wouldn’t be surprised nor sympathetic if he steadily starts losing revenue over it.

If he don’t care about losing money, then fair play to him. But I remember in recent months he was crying about owning a Tesla, so clearly he ain’t so minted he can afford to just get rid of it and join tHe rEvOLuTiOn 😂

This was one of my favourite threads on there before it went batshit crazy…

Was that the one where they were having the affair all sorts of stuff going on in his mind?

There was an American woman who used to sign off her posts and it would do everyone’s head in. She was generally very placid, but could get quite shirty if she felt you were mocking Christianity.

I remember a poster called Cessna who was rather old from what I can remember ? He hasn’t posted since 2021 and now it’s five years later. It’s most likely that he has passed on.

I literally don't care how someone reacts to my post. I'm 35 years old, not at primary school.
I don't notice most of the time unless someone laughs at something heartfelt/sensitive. Even then I'm mostly just ??? to myself unless I'm in a proper bitchy mood.

I used to be a regular on DS, a long time ago now. I remember 5371Robert or whatever he was called, the prototype incel who was insanely jealous of his sister and couldn't get a girlfriend. At about the same time, there was LostPigeon, who posted strange videos of himself on holiday and said "coo" in his posts a lot. I think he had at least one other account, as he'd occasionally post a link to the Daily Mail with no "coo", and using normal English.

We also had Dream Stuffing, who had a weird sexual fetish about schoolboys and boys in sportswear, who used to get in arguments with ForestChav, another poster who was a bit too interested in teenage boys. Dream Stuffing was all over every discussion forum going at one point, until he suddently disappeared. I think he got put in jail. I'm sure I remember him admitting he was on probation, or had some sort of community order stopping him from going near schools.
There was another user called 'Lee Morris' who posted weird sexual fetish stuff.
