    It's the only reason I read Digital Spy - they've lost one reader.

    Me too. :(

    Thanks to all the contributers to it over the years for a great section on DS. It's appreciated! :)

    Eh? Just about the only regular feature on DS that actually has a level of editorial creativity, and it gets binned. Brilliant decision bean-counters, just brilliant.

    Oh well, I guess it frees up more bandwidth and advertising space for some vapid showbiz crap, recycled from TMZ, about nobody anybody has ever heard of outside of MTV 'reality' shows.

    Damn! Every time I come on DS the first thing I do is check Cult Spy! It will be very much missed :(

    Utterly mind boggling decision. Cult Spy is the news focus of the Cult/Doctor Who forums.

    Yeah! Why can't they get rid of the one with topless blokes... if women and gay guys want to look at semi-naked dudes there's plenty of other places on the internet for that! =P

    Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! - Darth Vader

    I'm afraid the end has not been prepared for at all! Cult Spy is my main port of call for DS!

    Thats the only other board I use

    Surely the forum will be staying as it is? But yeah, that was a bit of a jaw-drop moment reading that. It was like, yeah, we're not doing this anymore. See ya.

    So say we all. :(

    Very disappointing news. Why on earth is it being axed?

    As for Gay Spy, it is a total embarrassing waste of space (and I'm gay myself). Cult Spy on the other hand is always fresh, interesting and relevant.

    Major DS fail. :mad:

    Hey, you can never get enough news about the Kardashians!! How could we live without the regular 'news' about what they've done this week or what they think about something? Honestly, the shit that DS fobs off as 'news' is an insult.

    I'm assuming the "Cult" section will remain open, and we'll continue to get Cult/Sci-fi news stories (all sourced and available from other Digitaly-based media outlets, just as with all the TMZ rip-off stuff in the showbiz pages), but what we'll be missing is the regular editorial pieces that I for one have always been a huge fan of.

    I was immensely proud when my tentative suggestion of a Michelle Forbes version of "Is.........the new Alan Dale" was used, and didn't tire of boring my mates/girlfreind to death by showing them the story.

    If any of the DS management are reading, you've just got rid of the only thing that makes the DS Cult section individual and worth visiting.

    That's brilliant. We can have more BREAKING NEWS about when Katie Price last went to the toilet. Cu*t Spy indeed.:eek:

    Hi,

    The Cult Spy that is going is just the bi-weekly feature on the main site and nowt to do with the forums, so fear not.

    Ben

    Any reason behind it's demise?

    And will your reviews continue?

    This is a shame as I always enjoyed reading the Cult Spy articles, probably my favourite place on the site. Will there continue to be some reviews? It seems a shame to end now when we have the last season of Lost to dissect, the last series of Ashes to Ashes starting and of course a brand new Doctor Who. I always thought it was a shame the weekly programme reviews stopped as I enjoyed reading those as well.

    Thanks to all involved in contributing, Cult Spy will definitely be missed! At least the forums will stay!

    has to be said, its more than baffling

    personally, im sick of reading about katie prices latest media antics, or which big brother contestant has taken a dump at 4-12 in the morning, - who makes these decisions?

    the worlds going mad.. over zealous censorship is rife on here, yet its ok to report on all the ills of the world which dont matter.. like katie price on her 'nth' wedding, hoping for more kids by yet another passer by who'll fill the bank account

    im just in shock..
