Problem with Fiend

I have just had my room repainted (this was done 2 years ago) and the last time it was done I bought myself a 22" LG TV to go on my desk.

Not allowed to buy something I really want - any advice?

Right, I know this sounds silly but for a few weeks I have been trying to get hold of a particular book I really wanted.

forums.digitalspy.com

These are two of my all time favourite threads there because I think both posters were actually totally serious, bless 'em.

I've only read the first page of each thread but I'm sitting her giggling away to myself! They're so unintentionally funny and a bit naive too!!

A lot of DS members have died

Wonkeydonkey
EbonyHamster
Uncle Fester
Gemo
Woodbine

etc

To be fair, they are representatives of the general population rather than immortal gods.

I've been a member of DS on and off for about 14 years and it's completely gone down hill lately. It's just dire.

Off topic but does anyone know what happend to an old forum called Diabolik.tv? Was just thinking about it, they used to slag DS off a lot there.

A user on the Dancing on Ice forum claims that they are refusing to go to hospital due to fear of the virus while they have a suspected broken foot.

I may be in a minority (I don't know your opinions on COVID management & NHS) but that's surely crazy? Pretty worrying that someone wouldn't get checked out if they had a proper injury.

Maybe they're just attention-seeking. A broken foot is so painful. A&E have separate entrances for covid patients and those with other health problems.

I've noticed Tanya has been quiet for a few days... Has anyone come across her on a thread or has she been banned?

It's easy enough to see if she's been banned and she hasn't.

 

[No Drama Llama]

I assumed it was reporting a post.

That seems to be the obvious thing but does it come up on someone's profile how many times they've done it - I don't remember seeing anything like that and I only every reported 2 posts when I was on there, neither of which were directed at me but unnecessarily nasty towards other posters so I was never that au fait with it.

 

[O.J]

Has the members on here requested a Soaps forum for here?

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

What was your name on there?

I'd rather not say at the moment because there are still threads I post on and posters there I like. Not all of them are deranged but DS certainly has more trolls than Scandinavia these days.

( I saw you were looking at ways to contact DS now you've joined the many people banned. If you go onto the DS homepage and scroll all the way to the bottom you should see 'contact us'. That should enable you to send an email to forum support. )

 

[HockyRorror]

I've been comparing discussion of Tom Moore on here and Digital Spy. The consensus on here is a minority jumped on for 'trolling' on DS.

 

[DigiDuino]

I am going to start a thread as soon as im able to and see who the soap watchers are or even start an eastenders episode discussion on here, unless people have tried this on here?

There already is one in the Film & TV section! Plus a coronation street one

What. Is. The. POINT?

Count to a million in words (Part 2)

Continuation of: https://forums.digitalspy.com/discussion/2288237/count-to-a-million-in-words Twenty thousand and one.

forums.digitalspy.com

It was absolutely hilarious a few years back when a million was close to being reached and people who'd never posted in the thread before "hijacked" it. The gatekeeping and tanturms from the regulars was amazing.

Whenver I worry my life isn't all that, I think of that moment. Makes me feel better.

 

[Debarkle]

I used to post/mainly lurk on DS years and years ago (different username).

Does anyone remember Crazy Chris? He seems to pop up in my memory for some reason. There was also an (Irish I think) girl who was one of the first to get 100k posts?? Apparently she was worked in admin but was doing more than a post a minute in stupid chat threads?

I also used to visit diabolik.tv (sp) if anyone remembers that?
Also - the time DS used to charge people £5 if they wanted to sign up using a gmail account

 

[Happy Lady]

Bangla's posts could be hurtful, but I once PMd him and he's such a softie really. I think he just likes to be one of the crowd, but after our PMs he left me alone altogether.

I think he's young, possibly a teenager, and I'm pretty sure he can't be part of the Support pack.

Didn’t Hobbit Feet became a Mod on one of the DS ‘Spin off’ forums?

When I say Mod, I mean tyrant.

 

[Beverley Macker]

How do you know if you’ve been reported?

 

[RedMagnolia]

Well after 20 hours they declined my signup using my work email address. I’m at a loss

Damn, I really thought that would work!
Can you ask a friend who lives in a different town to sign up, using their email address and ISP? Then ask them to give you the log in details.

 

[Phoenix Lazarus]

Pumping Iron got banned

Do you know why?

 

[RedMagnolia]

I thought Jason Watkins was in love with Rachel Riley? Or has his crush faded now she's all loved up with a husband and child? He used to post about avidly watching Countdown, it made me feel a bit queasy.

 

[No Drama Llama]

BanglaRoad is a middle aged man but it's cheered me up that you think he's a teenager

A middle aged man who spends all day on internet forums and has a penchant for Thailand!

Any idea why CornishPiskie got banned?

I wouldn't be surprised if Anne666 has passed on as well.

I'm not sure, she seemed to share the same views as the clique so I was surprised she was banned.
