Soma was awful. Just rude and offensive.

I think she was also the one who created the ''Muslim Viking'' thread ? When other posters were replying with historical facts, she went into meltdown.

I don't think she was banned, but just stopped posting.

That multi-thread starter/bot in DS, Sherewq, has surpassed themselves with their latest auto generated thread: ‘Your soap specialist subject on Mastermind?’, which is fine within itself but their opening post was bizarre:

“I'm quite good at knowing actors who played characters so maybe that.”

So every soap actor that ever existed then

Does make me think someone should do an Immaculate Grid style quiz with soap actors.

I haven't been on there for a while since I got "you were lying" allegations thrown at me and now I'm scared to even open the site.

The personal-life section is a bunch of bullshit. Not that people lie. It's that people are very quick to accuse OTHERS of bullshitting for not divulging every single issue that could ever have arisen and for not giving 26/9 updates. What happened to assuming good faith?

I would see his name pop up in all sorts of forums being the same old car crash he was on DS. What a sad life.

The one who stuck in my mind most though was the one who wished his sister would have a disabled child because everything was easy for her. I think their name was Robert? They ended up getting banned and threads deleted.

There was a genuinely scary full on incel called alcockel or something and I had stick them on ignore, they were demented in their hate for women.

Was that 201therobert or something like that ?

There is a user called William_Gravel who sent me a nasty PM once (maybe around 2018/2019) with no provocation. It was confusing and upsetting!

 

[ColaMonster]

Does anyone remember that thread in the DS Advice section started by a teenage girl who’s friend was ignoring them?

She couldn’t take the hint to just walk away.

Who was the one that was stalking the Easterners cast? To the point where the BBC had to get involved and DS went on damage control ?

The thread you mention is under "AV Forums resources/Feedback support & site news" and is titled "Forums founder/staff member entered a private chat". It's on page 3 of the Feedback Support sub forum and the last post was made July 23 2024. I'm not entirely sure, but I think you need to be an AVF member to access that part of the forums. The site owner SW tried to explain it as an accident, like you I don't believe it for a minute! Here is his post on the matter.......

The tiny number of people who have permission to search conversations get them amongst all the search results. As you have seen, the presentation of conversations on mobile is virtually identical to the presentation of threads, so it would be possible for someone half asleep late at night to accidentally scroll to the bottom and send a message in the quick reply box without reading any of the messages on the page.
The conversation title here was 'The Covid Thread' so it's easy to see it and confuse it with a Covid thread.
That's what happened here, I'm certain.

Apologies for the confusion.

Ah thanks. I did look for it again when I still had an account (I deleted iirc end of last year) but I couldn’t find it then (sometimes the search function on there wasn’t very good).

I’m glad that forum member brought it to our attention.

Was PinkTeddy the same person who claimed to be a really naive and dim student radiographer who was obsessed with dolphins and seals? She used to post saying her mum still did her hair. I can't remember what her name was then.

Not a clue on that, sorry!

 

[ColaMonster]

Does anyone remember that thread on DS that was started by a Teenage Girl who's best mate stopped talking to them ? Other people were giving her advice but she just ignored it. Eventually the other posters just got fed up and stopped bothering.

 

[BaxterBillions]

I'm convinced she's a mod.

I don't know. I've taken the piss out of her directly a few times and got a reaction from her, but have never received any blowback from the mods about it.

Has Angie ever been in a romantic relationship..

 

[Cupid_Stunt]

There is somebody on the Soaps forum that refers to random Male soap characters as ''sexy''

JackBauer24? Fed up with that pillock.

About 90% of male characters he finds sexy

If it’s a traumatising storyline he rarely mentions the storyline it’s how sexy the actor is

If he doesn’t find them sexy he calls them a crap actor like Steve McFadden

Can someone tell me what happened to the Sleeping Dogs forum. Didn’t read it every day but boy did they dive deep, posters must have spent forever doing their ‘research’. My DS handle came up a few times, didn’t know whether to be flattered or annoyed. Really just considered myself pretty a pretty-run-of-the-mill type poster. Posted a lot on the LBC Chit-Chat thread which was always pretty much a war zone, but I found it strange to see my name pop up several years later.

 

[ColaMonster]

There was another user called Takea (I think) who was rather knowledgeable on certain subjects. She suddenly stopped posting one day.

 

[HockyRorror]

Wasn't there a really long running thread that went on for literally years where a forum member asked if how 'real' a couple's relationship was could be proven in a court of law?

I never watched BB much at all so only peeked into the forum a few times but I remember that thread.

I have no idea, don’t recall it?

I remember getting into long debates with Wonkydonkey, she said that she would take a days holiday off work to research what we were arguing about, she was on the Big Brother forums often.

Hobbitfeet was funny, I posted on sleeping dogs for a while when she was admin.

Patsylimerick was lovely. Samthefootball really hated hos brother for having a girlfriend!

He did it across several other forums as well.

He was convinced that Brexit would lead to a Socialist Revolution. Aged like milk.

Does anyone remember UlsterGuy? He was a N.I Protestant unionist who was found to be harassing another Irish DS member.
