Digital Spy/AVF Watch

[BaxterBillions]

Wasn't the laughing reaction removed because some people were using it to bully others?

They still have it on AV Forums but that moderator Steven wades in all the time with non-subtle threats if you use it. That guy is way over the top with his moderation, even if he is "senior" moderator.

There was a user called housewife who was a nasty thing, all they did was bully but they never got pulled up on it.

 

[Bob93]

What are all these forums I never knew about

I don't even know what AVF is I've only posted on DS and now here. I don't even remember what made me stop posting on DS, I definitely didn't get banned though!

Cesna was in his early 80’s I think so I think it’s safe to say he’s passed away

The original parasocial nutcases. Josie was awful, but she was an ordinary looking, overweight woman who managed to ‘pull’ the house hottie and a lot of women projected onto her. It was glaringly obvious to everyone else he wasn’t all that into her and in fact was probably deep in the closet but there was no reasoning. I had so many rows with them.

The BB forum was brilliant. So many slightly misogynistic weirdos like Veri and Mactowin who’d accuse all female viewers of being ‘bitter jealous old hags’ when a female housemate they fancied would get evicted.

That's so interesting. I was in that court thread for a long time, the posters defending "JJJ" were actually scary

It was obvious Josie was there to get her face out there and John James went on to do Love Island so wanted to launch his career.

There was not one bit of romantic body language and they hid under a duvet for weeks hide from the camera but their fan base thought it was loves young dream

I was sent horrid private messages from some of the more errrrrr ardent ones!

Scrabbler from the Soap forums can be a bit of a bully sometimes... and he/she always feigns ignorance when called out.

 

[Bobby Chariot]

I think Occy has been banned. I know people got annoyed with him/ her but they clearly had issues with theit written English. The LBC thread were downright nasty to Occy. But then they’re all a bunch of vile, arrogant twats. No wonder the thread is slowly dying.

One or two would only appear when Occy posted just to berate him.
Horrendous thread that.

I met my partner on Digital Spy He was asking for some difficult advice, he was in a bit of a state actually, and I just messaged him saying that he sounded like a lovely guy and hoped he'd get things sorted and be happy. Anyway, still together almost sixteen years later.

I do remember there was one couple on General Discussion who got together and were really flaunting it. It was pretty hot and heavy for a while. Can't remember their names though.

WOW!! Love it.

 

[CarmenGhia]

I think it was yeah

I remember the guy who started that thread posting a really bonkers one about going to someone's house for his work and seeing a child with a tattooed scalp. He was all for calling Social Services. He later claimed the tattoos were transfers and he was mistaken. No idea whether any of it really happened.

Biffo the Bear was the king of unlikely scenarios.

 

[Melian]

The name rings a bell. Can't remember anything they posted though!

 

[Magwitch]

Was it Bulletguy who was banned for saying that Trans men should not be using Women's toilets ? I remember he was half English/Chinese and would talk about his heritage.

No, that was Pumping Iron, who was a really nice guy.

Bulletguy was a misogynist horror who was always slagging off his wife and patronising female posters.

 

[Wynonna]

The bullies on the Soap forum have been picking on Jack_bauer24.

 

[ColaMonster]

Who was the nutter that claimed Covid was a sentient being ?

 

[ColaMonster]

I think that was Walter Neff. He posted about seeing Marilyn Monroe in London.

I posted for years, loved Keo Line, gosh there used to be some fab general discussions and the early days Big Brother was great. I ended up there when Chamnel 4 forums closed and it was between here and AV when DS closed their decent forums.

I remember Keyser Soze, Ducky Lucky, and the dreaded Tanya, jeez she was a nightmare, had done everything and been everywhere. The McCann discussion always got so heated and then deleted so it's good to see it ongoing here.

Also who was the guy who got off on wearing animal costumes? James something?

Oh yeah him, the furry.

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

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.

The LBC thread is the cliquiest of cliquey threads. Most longstanding threads have regular posters so they inevitably become a bit cliquey but that thread is very toxic and if any new poster tried to post they instantly become suspicious that it's previously banned poster. Anyone with a descending view either leaves or gets banned.

I'm not sure why they have a go at occy all the time or take the piss. Occy is obviously impervious/oblivious to whatever is said so it just makes them look nasty and bullying.

 

[mrs.darcy]

The BBC had to get involved because she was literally stalking the EE cast. Is she still around?

Not 100% sure but she was posting towards the end of last year.

 

[DrLoomis]

Copy and paste please.

I am too late, the posts have been deleted. It was a horrible post about all the "dead bodies" she has seen in her life, but it included a dead son. I have never seen any post from "her" to suggest such a thing before. Awful poster.

 

[h3lt3rsk3lt3r]

I’m Jewish and always thought AVF was dodgy so I never went on it. I guess I have a sixth sense. It’s like gaydar but bad.

It's the politics section and the terrible moderation of that section that really drags the rest of the site down.

 

[Bubbles Tizzy]

Does anyone remember Soma ? She was a Muslim poster who would spit her dummy out if she thought you were criticizing Islam.

FairyPrincess is another odd one.

Soma was awful. Just rude and offensive.

 

[ColaMonster]

She was a fucking nutter. She regularly used to to fly back and forth between Belfast and London so she could go to Elstree to meet the Eastenders cast, despite not having a job.

I think she is still on there
