Hello!

For people new to our thread (or if you're just nosy ), this thread has been running in some form or another since February 2011. It was previously called 'Rate The Soaps' but changed its name to 'Soaps Survey' on 10th June 2011. I'm Citadel, and I usually run the thread. However, other users like dullagj2 and dan2008 substitute from time to time, and always do a great job when I'm not around!

We have a fair few regulars, some people come and go and we get newbies as well. That's what we love about this thread! A great mix of people and views.

The thread itself is basically a debate about which soaps, plots and characters you did or did not enjoy watching today, and why. There is also a multiple choice poll at the top of the thread. In all, there are 10 shows involved.

All the UK soaps are included:[LIST][*]Coronation Street[*]Doctors[*]EastEnders[*]Emmerdale[*]Hollyoaks[*]Pobol Y Cwm[*]River City[/LIST]Also included are the two ROI soaps:[LIST][*]Fair City[*]Ros na Rún[/LIST]And finally the two Australian soaps (UK pace):[LIST][*]Home & Away[*]Neighbours
[/LIST]Serial dramas such as Waterloo Road or Casualty, are excluded.The SoApS SuRvEy thread appears every weekday, but not at weekends, except over Christmas & New Year. Therefore, when a soap is broadcast on a Sunday - usually Fair City but occasionally Coronation Street - that Sunday night episode will be included in Monday's thread.

You can vote on the poll, and all the better if you add comments as well. When posting views, please don't leave singular responses such as 'Emmerdale', as that's what the poll is for after all! Also your comments don't have to be lengthy, but long posts always make a good read! And if you read but never comment, don't be shy - give it a try! You'll never look back. Opposing views, diverse debate and posters old and new are all warmly welcome. Trolls however, are advised to alight at the bridge... Please also keep frivolous or off-topic posts to a bare minimum, as mods do not take kindly to this!

Please note that polls on the thread are time limited. Please also be aware that each poll is multiple choice, so vote for as many soaps as you want! This thread will usually be posted in advance, without a poll, only for the poll to be added later on, once all the day's soaps have had their first airing. If a poll is added early please don't vote until all the soaps you have watched and/or enjoyed have aired. If you do, your name will be public anyway!



See you there!

This has got to be the most pointless thread I have seen so far.

If people enjoy taking part it's not pointless at all. No one has to visit the thread. Live and let live I say.

But what is the point of a thread giving information about another thread. Anyone who viists this thread in more than likely to already know what its about, and it's not as if anything particularly groundbreaking has been found here.

It just seems like someone with abit too much time on there hands ( no offence)

Maybe the OP just wanted to explain things a bit more. With respect, if you find it that unnecessary a thread, haven't you shown you've got too much time on your own hands by posting here?

I wish everyone would give peace a chance, as John Lennon once said Citadel

Why the silly upper/lower case title? Always a turn-off for me.

Its not pointless! Its to tell people about it if they're confused. Don't be so rude.

Citadel (along with Dan2008 & Dullagj2) has made the time each night to put together a survey for us all to comment on and enjoy. I for one really like getting to review on my favourite soaps and seeing how my opinion reflects on others opinions!

(Looking forward to reviewing Eastenders tonight!)

Thank you, Tass! Although this thread is starting to become more popular than the main one!

I agree, I enjoy the ACTUAL thread but IT'S JUST A THREAD! A thread dedicated to how another thread works is just so extra.

And you don't see the irony of continually posting in a thread you don't like, thus keeping it on page 1 where you supposedly don't want it?

I'm just at a loss as to the meaning behind this thread. Seriously I'm just baffled as to who has the time or inclination!

I used to comment on these threads loads, but I haven't in ages. That's due to me never having time to catch the soaps when they're actually on and I always have to watch them on catch up instead

I'm gonna try and get back to watching the soaps when they're on and then hopefully I'll be able to start contributing to the threads

I always enjoyed these threads when I was watching the soaps when they're actually on more often
