I've thought of a name to describe all of the lost souls who are now moving onto other GD forums

I call it 'The Scattering'

Named so after an Event in the Dune series.

DS Politics forum was out of hand, but with GD forum, they have cut their nose to spite their face.... I enjoyed looking at the many forums and making my small contributions, especially since I was diagnosed with AML - DS kept me in touch with the UK.
Unfortunately a lot of people have lost out thanks to the behaviour of others.

In other AV related news...

Suez Canal blocked by Ship - thread by robinofloxley
In an attempt to shoehorn brexit into a thread...will this damage trade, knock-on effects...hurt companies...blah blah


An hour later...ship is freed and on the move

I don't remember them. What made them a PITA?
If I remember correctly, it was at the time of Brexit and every post she made included a graph, pie chart or a link to some obscure website.

Too much information that you wouldn't know what to make of - or I couldn't and didn't.

Well done on putting those two in their place - we spoke by message a few times when you were accused of being a racist, I could often be merry ;)!
Hello you! Yes I know who you are! I wondered what happened to you and several of the people I liked and pm’d with. I also liked a user called Tellystar. Seems like the level headed people were slowly being pushed out of there one by one. Nice to see you!

and with ex TVF member Rob Francis at the helm

BRILLIANT GUY

nobody is better placed to continue Asa.s tradition
I've been a lurker of TV Forum for about 12 years, never got round to joining but I'm going to miss reading it. There's still DS for that sort of thing but the likes of Broadcasting, Satellite and Freeview have become so much quieter of the last year and will continue to get even quieter now that GD is gone.

Hopefully the new forum will be decent.

DS has totally lost the plot,
its closed down three of its most used forum sections..
For a site that relies on Clicks from adverts dropping loads of traffic seems a vert odd move
I'm shocked to see you here, haven't seen you on DS or Twitter in years.

In Sleeping Dogs somebody posted that the forum stats are down a lot in the last 6 months so its probably because they need to cut costs

I do like Doctor_Wibbles, very quick-witted with a dry sense of humour - what's not to like :D
Bread with cat litter on top. 🤣

Lady Tanya of Knightsbridge won't like that!

A few AV members have already posted in one or two threads, mods are also present & post, doubt it'll turn into a version of ds.
Hope not
They'll need to watch agrippa57 then!

It is obvious he wants to carry on as usual, likely spurring on others to do the same.

It was as if Nish Kumar had discovered the secret of cloning. It's probably just as well I couldn't join as I'd have been banned in a heartbeat.



I just don't see how it isn't a hate word. It is said with hatred, bile and is intended as a hefty insult.
I would have liked to of seen what would of happened if a Black, or Asian Brexiteer took offence to being called that on DS.

How would the mods of reacted?

Does anybody remember a poster on DS who said that they would leave the forum once they reached a certain amount of posts? I think they were a student in between school and College?
Can't say I recall such a member. Sorry.

I doubt they did leave after the certain amount of posts though.

DS is owned by a massive company but a lot of these smaller forums are run by individuals and quite often at their own expense for software and bandwidth/servers. If it stops being fun and nothing but aggrevation then they will pull the plug.



Bitch is probably more accurate :devilish:
It's been a day. I was being nice for now :)
