Are there any forums on DS that you actively avoid?

For me I tend to avoid the Advice forum these days, whenever anybody posts anything people seem to jump onto them and accuse them of lying. Or they seem to be deliberately difficult, berating the original poster for something they have done as opposed to actually giving advice.

I also avoid Showbiz, I can't take seriously that level of vitriol.

Are there any that you avoid?

I haven't been here long enough to actively avoid anywhere. I started with big brother, and when it ended clicked the 'new posts' button and found this bit. Which is quite nice, it's chilled and nicely random.
I probably wouldn't post in any of the techy bits, as it's not my thing.

Most of them - I don't know anything about the soaps, or Big Brother, or The Voice, or X Factor, so I have nothing to add.

Of the forums I might visit more often... I like radio very much, have memories of listening to different stations as a kid, remembering local presenters of the 80s etc. But I do find that forum clogged up with a lot of 'industry insider' talk about the various groups that control the stations, Global, EMAP etc., and it puts me off going to the Radio forum more often than I do.

I look in most forums of my interest but I wouldn't say I avoided any. I don't really read much of the I'm a celeb, xfactor/voice etc., Big Brother, Soaps, fashion, and sports forums.

That said, I do ignore some thread topics.
