Not a forum but you can post comments.
Some comments about the lack of a forum.

The whole point of forums is for discussion to discuss and suggest comments yes give feedback and any unfair can be moderated!
Come on BBC unshackle our hands and let us have our old style forum back

Little bug'ers aint they
Pity they couldnt control their own boards.....but heyho look on the bright side......lots more newbies for you to entertain e
...whats this "overuse" of the smilies crack then
The "Bonekickers" boards had over three hundred critical posts removed at a stroke in a pathetic attempt to have the programme perceived as better received, but even that failed to save it.
The direction of critical posts to blogs ensures that there is no "collective" criticism and only selected comments are usually included.
There also seems to be a; “my blog gets more comments than your blog” rivalry between those that have them.
But the most amusing comment from POV hosts which is often made is that; "Posts to the message board aren't typical of the (light and fluffy?) phone calls, e-mails and letters they receive."
As Ricky Tomlinson would say; My ***** they aren't."
Any critical e-mail about programmes to the BBC will be politely answered with a "stock letter" not always the right one as; I guess; "a wrong key is sometimes pressed."
A supposedly comforting phrase is always included to the effect that; "the complaint will be added to the log."
As little changes at the BBC, I can only surmise that the "logs" are burned at Christmas or they end up in the same warehouse as the "Ark of the Covenant" at the end of "Raiders of the Lost Ark."
Of course there were gangs of WUMs - some of whom <shock horror> planned their jolly japes on DS.
I guess they're really disappointed that they won't be having their fun this year.
To be honest, I think that begging the BBC to reopen its forum while posting on DS seems a bit like going to a restaurant and announcing in a loud voice: "We wanted to go to the place down the road but it was closed, so we are stuck here instead."
It feels a bit discourteous, but that's just my view and I am sure others will disagree.
Did they indeed. Now tell us how you know and pm and tellme what are they planning this year!! After all we are on DS!:D
Because it was discussed on the Bored thread quite openly.
As for this year I don't know, is it fun trying to disrupt blogs?
No, they are sent to the Ministry Of Truth to be adjusted by Winston. Just hope you aren't adjusted too. That would be doubleplus ungood.
But if you reregister with a different name enough times you might get to meet nice Mr. Goldstein.
The problem is that people think venting their anger (within the board rules of course) on the BBC sites will achieve something. But it won't.
At one time the BBC board header used to say;
"Tell us what you like or loathe about BBC programmes."
But when it disappeared and the board hosts were asked why, the response they posted was; "Because it gave the impression that you might get an answer from the BBC."
Now it says;
"The place to discuss BBC Television Programmes with other viewers."
Or; as you might say; "just talk amongst yourselves."
Having a board where licence payers can let off a bit of "restrained" steam, I guess the BBC considers, is better than having disenchanted viewers engaging in placarded demonstrations in front of TV Centre.
Not trying to be off with you. It was only a question!!! As for the latter part of your post, what are you on about?
Hi Msl
Lovely to hear from you. There are a number of posters on here who I don't see eye to eye with but we still acknowledge each other and have a joke.

Try this - it shoud take you to the Exiles Boards, if not - ping me and I will try again !
consider yourself "pinged" MsL
Thanks. Have created a shortcut on my desktop. Are there really no mods?
..no we have a mod/Admin but with a warped sense of humour e
Don't believe all this talk about trolls. From my experience of forums the number of trolls that post on a forum is very little indeed and easy to spot.
yeah they were easy to spot but difficult to get rid of due to the moderation or should I say "correct" moderation of the boards.......
I said WUMs not trolls. I have never accused anyone of being a troll and never would. To me that is a very serious accusation although I know some people use it at the drop of a hat.
Last year there were groups of posters who bumped every thread about a certain subject. It became a weekly event. Very childish but not maliciously bullying or anything that I would consider troll like.
But certainly something that the BBC could have done without I'm sure.
The SCD board was an easy target. As would any board be that attracts large numbers of new posters all in one go.
That sort of mucking about wouldn't last very long here.
You asked me to pm you to tell you what 'they' were planning this year.
You have been reading the BBC site so you know that they have blogs this year. I was asking a general question about whether blogs are fun to disrupt (I don't use them, they look boring).
Joke - tongue-in-cheek comment. Sorry It is easy to mistinterpret on here. I'm not really expecting you to do any pm-ing to me.
Disrupting BBC blog - don't know. I haven't disrupted them.:D
Morning.:)

Not me! I agree with you!:)
The "three minute nonsense" was a big turn off for many.
The BBC have been steadily reducing the number of message boards they have available. There was often no logic for some of them.
I believe "The Archers" radio programme had six and even "Bonekickers" had four.
They much prefer blogs where they have complete control.
