Just had a proper look at it, hadn't done so in ages.. So much work must have gone into it. The extra features etc. are fantastic, e.g. games, e-cards etc. It's so strange nothing like this has ever been set up for corrie.

It's such a shame that Corrie has no real official presence on the internet.

The EE website is miles ahead of even the old Corrie website, but for a soap buff like me I find some of the actual profiles on the EE website very limited with just a few high points and low points...

I would love to see Corrie put the same amount of effort into their site (although the visual updates are spectacular and put EE's to shame). The EE games are a nice touch. Stripping Dennis Rickman to his pants? Oh yes, I've done it a few times. Although I'm not sure doing it to Jack Duckworth would have the same desired effect.

On the Corrie site they say they are always looking for volunteers. Having said that, they also had a kot of blanks with certain years and asked for any information. I spent ages typing out what went on month by month of one year, emailed it to them and it was never used.

True, the corrie.net profiles are more detailed.. but need updating. The EE site has pretty much everything. It's one of the few positive things the show to it's credit at the moment. Lol, stupid as it is I had to laugh at the game where Dot reads tea leaves.. Pointless, but still so amusing.

I think the whole online EastEnders community is generally fantastic! I have found Corrie sites but usually have older feels to them...

Yeah.. All the same though, the EE community are kind of comical too. All the talk of Zonnis, Shannis etc. is pretty damn funny. I'm 16 myself, so believe me it's not that I'm a fan of the "older feel" either. I just don't like the hysterical "Omg! He is sooooooooo fit!" kind of feel either. Guess I'm too sarky for that.

I know I honeslty can't believe the EastEnders message boards! But it also shows that EastEnders has fans of all age groups but mainly younger online!

True. That much is clear from the overwhelming support for Chris Parker found online. The 9-12 year olds have invaded the EE message boards and are preaching about the dorky one in every available thread.

Of Course you would say that.

The BBC online setup is second to none so its not surprising that the EE board is brill. Just a huge pity they wouldnt pay as much attention to detail in the borylines as they do to the website

Lol, from reading your 3 posts on this thread alan45, I'm sensing a pattern..

Is there any news on a new corrie site by the way? Weren't there rumours of one in the works?

Corrie did say a couple of months ago that they would set up a whizzo Corrie site, but I imagine (if they do it properly) that it would take many months to go live.

Yes but at least BBC Blob and I can agree on one thing. The EE website is brill.

And furthermore if EE comes good again I will be one of the first to admit it but sadly I cannot see that happening in the future. Yes I am anti EE at the moment but I WAS one of its greatest fans. So in the meantime I will air my thoughts on here.

Woohoo! Lol.. sorry.

Nah, I agree with you in part alan45, it's in a bad state now.. but I am seeing some signs of improvement and promise at the same time.

I just realised today that Corrie's site isn't much better than... the FAIR CITY one!!!! That's unbelievable..
