Another nice poster who I hope is well - The Fat Controller. He was always kind and amusing.

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

What is a "RG11 repull?

hi i have noticed about 2,3 times a week the same ntl cable man has been visiting my naibours house at around the same time for about a month and a half, i asked him what he is doing he said the lady needs a RG11 repull, I just wanted to know what a RG11 repull is?

“Naibours” House. Who spells neighbours that way?

I always remember the thread by the obviously lonely woman who worked at a Train station. She thought that she had fallen for a random bloke who she would see catching the Train everyday.

I remember that thread, that must be some time ago now.

Rigsby the slumlord. It used to drive him nuts. I used to rip the shit out of him mercilessly on Dogs. I regret nothing!

Haha I was on dogs but you wouldn't remember me I'm sure. Guy on there Budgie used to have me in stitches. It was cutthroat but really funny on there till it just died off...

Do you remember a couple of DSposters going on about 'the groovy gang'? I never did figure out who the groovy gang were or what they'd done to offend.

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.

I'm convinced she's a mod.

Oh Veri is another incel weirdo and was still there as recently as the last series of Big Brother. If there’s a young attractive, preferably blonde, female housemate you know he’ll be her biggest champion.

Isn’t Veri a woman?? Edit: I see I said she or he but I always thought she by default lol

 

[Wolfshead]

How "she" ever got away with some of the nasty stuff she posted in the early days will always confuse me. Some of the posts, if anyone else posted it, they would have been instantly banned. Strange.

Yes, but god forbid anyone should stand up to her!

I don't mind Sherewq or ednuzio (whatever his name was, but pretty sure they're the same person). I like answering his questions and reading others answers. I don't get why so many posters are rude to him.

 

[CarmenGhia]

Wasn't there someone claiming their neighbour was pooing in a pond as well?

 

[Cheddar Chalpupa]

Sea something... Seaford, seaforth, something like that was it?

Why do they go into orbit when someone bumps an old thread? I've seen two threads today, one from 2023 which was "bumped" and we got the "Oh, My, God!!!!!!!!!! AN OLD THREAD!!!!" and one from 2007 which has had a "Support, shut this down now!!!!" On the other had, if someone starts a new thread, you will get "This was discussed 15 years ago!! Use that thread!!!"

What is the issue with posting in old threads?

I think part of the issue is it's either been resolved or the advice / law has changed

 

[Tangerine Dream]

Does anyone remember GreatGodPan? He'd probably get along pretty well with Dave Polanski, he was about that levels of nuts.

Or all those people who shouted from the rooftops they would leave if Brexit won? Most were either gone only briefly or never followed through like people wouldn't notice

 

[lilyannrose]

There were a couple of yanks on there.

Sweetheart Holly was one. Use to always go on about some American boy band.

Wasn’t so sweet though if you criticised any aspect of Christianity. She would get very snotty with you.
No idea if she’s still around.

That's the one who always signs their post with "God bless them (whoever they were fangirling over) and you always". I get Mormon or something vibes from them but could be totally wrong.

Who was the Russian person on DS who had a fascination with visiting Swanage ?

 

[CarmenGhia]

One I remember from years ago was the teenager who promised that she would leave when she reached a certain amount of posts.

I can't remember her name.

Goonst? Always claimed to be a teen girl with mental health issues, but was generally believed to be someone much older, possibly a man.

I notice the recent news of Russell Brand being charged with sexual assault/rape was greeted with delight on both AVF and Urban75. There was absolutely no mention of innocent until proven guilty on either platform. Contrast this with the reaction to today's arrest of Labour MP, Dan Norris over rape and child sex offences. All of a sudden someone on AVF is saying (rightly) that Norris is not guilty unless/until he is convicted! That sentiment seemed to be lacking on the Russell Brand threads. I genuinely hope that none of these social media bigots ever get called up for jury service.

One morbidly fascinating thread was the John James and Josie Appreciation Thread in the big brother forum.

It was essentially years of one poster having a conversation with herself, with an occasional visit from someone else who clearly felt bad for the poor cow.

Just checked that thread. The last comment is from someone announcing she passed away in 2021.

Was that Emma something? Had a baby boy by a British Pakistani? If it’s the same woman, I had to tell her that it was not appropriate to call her kid ‘little p*ki’ as an affectionate pet name. She was not a horrible person (well, going by her posts anyway), just naive.

She’s probably a lot wiser now, as many years have passed. Sadly she learned the hard way. I had many a female friend who also had kids with terrible guys who they thought would stick around, and then reality kicked in.

Yes that’s her! The kid would be in his mid to late teens by now. Wonder if the Dad still has any involvement? I don’t think he ever officially acknowledged him as his son.

I remember him.

Anne666 was a character. Very strong opinions then just disappeared. Wonkeydonkey was prolific on the Big Brother forum.

Walter Neff always in the film section and telling how he saw Marilyn Monroe in person. I liked him.

She suddenly came back last year I think.

WonkeyDonkey died I think ?

Another one who I'm convinced is dead is Cessna. He was in his 80's I think ? He last posted in 2021, five years ago. Combine that with his age, and you have that possibility.
