Who was the one on DS that started a .Gov petition to reinstate there account ?

 

[Miss Begotten]

I could have written that myself! I always thought the same and I too found myself here after being banned by him/her.

And me

There are enough of us for a support group!

 

[Gym&Tonic]

The moderation was always very unfair and had no logic. I think a lot of it depended on how many reports they had about a post/poster, but the problem with that was it was often abused by people who had a grudge against someone and the mods weren’t always objective about it.

There was also a poster who appeared in the soap section with Janet in her name somewhere. She claimed to have the backings from the mods to "clean the place up a bit" or something like that. She managed to get a fair few posters banned for very little. She had a very aggressive style of posting and she didn't hang around long. She said something like her job was done, before never posting again or the account was deleted. Oddly enough it was very soon after that the dreaded Tanya appeared, with the same posting style and banning powers. I often wondered if the two posters were connected.

 

[DrLoomis]

I'm convinced that Sherewq is either a phishing bot, or somebody heavily on the spectrum. They endlessly post in the Soaps section but never once have they replied to any of the threads they start.

I noticed a thread from that poster earlier, "Have you ever lied about watching a film?" What?!
"I watched 'Silence of the Lambs' last night"
"Did you? Was it good?"
"Sorry, I lied, I didn't watch it"
"Oh. I must start a thread on Digital Spy about this!"

Another poster I’ve just remembered was the girl who would post photos of amazing cakes she’d made, but then died of anorexia. She was as far as I could tell a real person as she had a blog elsewhere and a Twitter account where she’d also post photos of the cakes.

 

[Tangerine Dream]

There was Samthefootball who hated his brother and wanted to kill him out of jealousy.

There was someone who wished their sister would have a disabled child so she faced some hardship as her life was too easy.

Proper freaks all over the place on DS. In the last remaining years before they closed then, General Discussion and Politics forums were wall to wall weirdos. Anyone sane had been run off.

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

The moment I knew DS had "fallen" was when someone got banned just for saying I agree to another user.

That sort of happened to me. One poster made a comment and I basically said 'I agree' and she got banned and I got suspended. It was over something very trivial. It was during a time when that twat Bangla Road was posting a lot and thought he was cock of the forum. He didn't realise he was just a cock.

 

[Pink P]

Does anyone remember a forum called Diabolik TV? Some truly horrid people there.

 

[Pink P]

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

That happens on the DS Strictly threads where "long standing posters" take umbrage if someone dares to start a thread which they think is in their domain.

 

[Tangerine Dream]

FairyPrincess is another odd one.

FairyPrincess is a self-admitted pedalo but the mods covered it up, I guess they realised what they said and panicked but they're a sick puppy and I don't believe at all that they are trans.

Was Walter White the one that told the old Hollywood Tales? He worked in the theatre or am I getting mixed up?

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?

 

[Magwitch]

Walter White is a nightmare. He was one of the doom and gloom team during Covid who wouldn't let anyone even dare have hope. Those Covid threads were crazy. Posters trying to out doom each other and getting excited and celebrating when there were high deaths because it proved their point was right. I think if it was up to some of them, we would still be in lockdown now.

The covid threads were horrendous. I had a look at AVF for the first time in ages and a lot of the DS lot are there, still banging on about who’s had their vaccine, should we bring back masks etc. Years later! It’s wild.

 

[Amoo]

FP was creepy to me long before that, they've always radiated bad vibes, but DS truly became a haven for the disturbed and dangerous in that moment.

Fairyprincess also posted bemusedly - and perhaps proudly - about going to see a Disney film at the cinema, full of children, and all the parents giving weird looks to the 'burly[...]bloke' sitting there.

 

[ColaMonster]

SamTheFootball is one I always remember. Blamed his Brother for being unable to find a Woman. Blamed his Brother for not having a job. Blamed Women for his problems.

If you Google his name, results from forums other then DS pop up. He goes from one place to another, asks the same questions and gets banned.

Rinse. Repeat.

 

[DrLoomis]

Macca, the wannabe Mod, was another pain in the backside poster. I saw it myself that he would check each thread on the "recent" page and post a reply along the lines of "yes, this is okay to talk about", or "This was discussed in 2005, why do we need another thread?" My favourite Macca moment was when he was recording a football match, planning to watch it later, but he was reading a thread as it was being broadcast live. "STOP SPEAKING ABOUT THE GAME! REPORT, REPORT, REPORT!!"

 

[glasgow27]

There was a poster in the talent show threads, Jeff somebody, always came across as a bit simple and supported whichever young, mixed race Woman was in the show. I got numerous warnings for pointing his bias out.

jerefprdterra? I don't know how that user has lasted so long on DS.

 

[SaltandPepperChicken]

I’m loving this thread. Even though I was more of a lurker it still feels like a blast from the past.

 

[22ndCenturyMan]

I’ve seen a lot of creeps on there. One was obsessed with matching his and his son’s penises. And he’s still intermittently active.

 

[dorydaryl]

Night market as far as I know they are still together.

Met (on DS) and know them. Lovely couple. Gillypanda helped me out no end when my dad died, back in 2009. In person as well as online. I came over to Tattle when DS GD died (and for the Phillip Schofield gossip). Was getting sick of the point scoring and tribal rivaries on there, anyway. Enjoy Tattle much more.
