Digital Spy/AVF Watch

I knew that would happen. The Woman's a fruit loop fantasist. She did me a massive favour though getting me banned, I wouldn't have found my way here otherwise.

That's assuming it IS a woman. I've always thought it was some spotty fat bloke called Fred sitting in his mum's attic living his fantasy life.

I will always remember Sierra Mist. He was originally HR Guru and branded himself as a Brexit "expert" with all sorts of inside information which was always wrong. He embarrassed himself too many times and got a name change to Sierra Mist and rebranded himself as a Covid "expert" with graphs which nobody really understood, a terrible doom and gloom attitude to it all and again predictions which would never come true. He would disappear when things started to improve but would be back in heartbeat if they went the other way.

He was another one who had a second account, I can't remember what the name was, but this account would appear when Mist was getting a hard time and back him up in arguments. Someone who used to post on the old DS threads here spotted it when Mist replied in his usual style, but on the second account. He quickly edited it and sorted it and I'm sure the poster that noticed it got banned for speaking about it. Mist later spat the dummy out and got his account deleted when General Discussion closed.

He posted a lot on the Sleeping Dogs forum and was Billy big bollix for a while but the posters in there were like sharks in a tank From what I remember he was a landlord of some description and they named him Rigsby. He kept saying the ladies he paid really enjoyed it.

I remember Anne 666 who was very vocal until her last post where she went into a lot of detail about a traumatic event and never posted again. I kinda liked her.

I do wonder what happened to her. Part of me thinks she may have died. But obviously you can't tell just from someone stopping posting on a forum.

Who was behind the infamous “Has Spiders stopped ?” Thread?

 

[Melian]

Reminds me when I posted about a TV programme on Facebook. A now ex friend told me she had no idea who I'm talking about and how they don't own a TV

 

[Lambeth Walk]

Gortonian was a popular poster on the tv and radio threads and often quite knowledgeable. After a short absence and one not long enough to be anything out of the ordinary, his sister came on to inform us that he had passed away suddenly. He was in his early sixties. This was about six years ago.

 

[ColaMonster]

Did he come up with daft life stories? (I know that doesn’t exactly narrow anyone down when it comes to that place )

Yes. Loads of his threads were closed.

Another one I remember is Waldouk.

 

[Notworthy]

Thank you so much!

Yep, there was a small group on there that seemed to hate me because I am an Asian person who wasn’t a destitute, poverty stricken loser with no prospects (like them) begging for white “liberal”, “progressive” saviors to rescue me from daily persecution in the “racist” UK and US

They reported MY posts for being RACIST so I got a couple of temp bans and it was obvious I was gonna get a perma ban soon after (which I did, cos I made a couple of posts calling out one or two posters racist comments, plus I told the Tanya person some home truths).

It was really nice that in the run up to my ban I got several pm’s from forum members who were so supportive of me and really sick of how bad things there had become. Sad that a small minority of kooks

I enjoyed my time on AVF but sadly I started seeing similar patronising type of posts, supported by the site owner too, so I took that as my time to leave there.

I went down on the same post as you I think. Sonething.to do with a sign if I recall. Tanya got us both banned.

 

[CarmenGhia]

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.

 

[Phil Anne Throw Pee]

A woman from the Soap forums also passed away a couple of years ago. I can't remember her username on DS but her username was Blades' Receptionist on the Walford Web forum.

There was a poster who was brilliant with plumbing queries, can't remember his username, but it was rumoured that he died as he was the pilot on the plane with Emiliano Sala.

 

[Gym&Tonic]

There was also Mactowin, a raging incel who was convinced all women hated each other. Especially ‘old hags‘ who hated younger prettier women and always voted to evict them from Big Brother and never voted for them to win anything, all his posts were oozing with misogyny. He was last seen on the Strictly forum ranting that Abbey Clancy would never win because she was young and beautiful and all the old hags would never vote for her, then she won and he was never seen again.

 

[ColaMonster]

Was'nt there a self confessed convicted murderer on DS ?

 

[DrLoomis]

"I remember dashing to buy a sweater because it was only 39c - I was shivering. I’d just been in the desert for a week, so it was more like 50c+ and I’d become acclimatised to the extent 39c genuinely felt chilly"

You must be hypothermic right now Tanya! I can't imagine how you are even able to type!!! I would love to know where you can "dash" to buy a sweater in the desert.

What a load of shite.

 

[ColaMonster]

No fighting in the Soaps section

 

[Cupid_Stunt]

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.

She’s definitely still around. She frequents the Music forum and signs off every single one of her posts with: “God bless you and them* always!!!” (Sometimes she replaces the word them with the name of a particular artist if she is talking about someone or a group specifically in that post)

 

[lilyannrose]

The AV Forum is one of the nastiest out there at this point. I'd say it has far surpassed Digital Spy on that front.

I've never bothered posting, I think of myself at left of centre on most issues bar a few specific things I'm an very disagreeable about but I know there's no point trying to join in with a forum like that. They've got enough regulars with a narrative that must be stuck to that is a total waste of time if you aren't one of the clique or don't just parrot the exact same stuff as they do.

A shame as forums are dying and it would be a nice place to post with the well organised different sections of the board but it's basically a gated community thanks to terrible mods/admin.

 

[Tangerine Dream]

That's the reason why I left and closed my account. The moderation was absolutely appalling and very one sided.

Tanya1982 was a secret mod, I am convinced and always will be!

 

[RocksOff]

Does anyone remember Robinsbatman( or something like that that?)
They used to post very detailed, thoughtful replies.
Those M M threads were a wild ride, Deep Purple the policeman? Another poster who was an expert of the phases of the moon and could work out how much light there would be!

 

[Notorious PIG]

Looks like Stuart has now lost the plot and has removed a few of the replies to the thread that he started (including the three I posted above) and another brief discussion after someone talked about trying to put him on ignore! He has now decided to lock his own thread. The guy comes across as a total narcissist and clearly can't cope with any criticism.


Stuart Wright said : I’ve deleted the posts which complain about this thread being in GC as they are off topic. Which is most of them, sadly.
And I deleted one reply which contained some links potentially worth exploring but then went and insulted another member.

Despite the title, this shouldn’t be a topic setting one party against another.
I don’t think Gary is anti-labour. I think he has used that video title (which I copied) to get more views. Views are needed if he’s going to get his message out.
I think having a title directly attacking labour might have not been the best strategy.
And using his strategy, I think whichever party had been in power right now, unless they were addressing the wealth inequality issue, their name would be in the title.

I don’t think his message is anti-labour. His message is aimed at labour because they are in power. Obviously.
(He said it was the Tories under Thatcher who cut taxes on the rich in the 80’s which started the decline in the first place.)

And I didn’t post his video to start a party based argument. I didn’t post the thread to criticise labour or any party in particular. Or start an off topic argument.
I posted this here because I think it’s an important message which rings true for me and which, if true, requires a change of policy for whichever party is in power. None of them except the greens supported taxing the rich in the last election.

The part of Gary’s message which most bothers me is that so many people, despite working hard and having a fantastic work ethic, are poor and could never afford to buy a house. I hope that’s a situation which everyone would want to change.

I think it’s best if the thread is locked so that some people who want to make this a party bashing thread don’t get themselves in to trouble and the moderators don’t have to deal with their shit.

In other words:

“I’m so annoyed my thread/lecture didn’t go the way I wanted it to, my feelings are hurt so I’ve thrown my toys outta the pram and I’ve locked the thread cos you lot won’t agree with me! ”

Going through the DS memory banks, there was a member called ''PinkStar28'' who took the ditsy blonde stereotype and ran with it.

Such classic examples as -

where do all the witches go on halloween xxxxx — Digital Spy

have i bin reduced to bein moved on chatter???? — Digital Spy

This is gonna seem like a silly question but........ — Digital Spy

The best one for last - shud i dress like prim and proper or like a slapper??? — Digital Spy

Not to be confused with another user called ''PinkTeddy'' who rather infamously started a .GOV petition to get someone's DS ban lifted.
