Creating this thread in support of two new forums already suggested to the mods by other members on here. Namely, a RETRO forum for the Music section and a TRAVEL forum. Please use this thread to support and/or suggest new forums. Mods, I hope this is okay as a way to let DSers voices be heard.

Really like the idea of a Travel one.

Retro in Music ? Not so sure, as it would leave the rest of Music to endless teeny/tweeny stuff. I quite like the mix of old and new that you get at the moment.

An open bitching section so we can see who's saying what about who, expose the sneaky people who enjoy doing it.

There already is a Radio forum, I think.

Is there enough available bandwidth?

about time DS had a complete new look as well. Looks so Windows95.

Fix the minor I bar issue (it disappears in certain typing situations).

Yeah, it's not like the simpletons need to use long complicated words.

Sometimes simplicity is better.

Looking at the Music Forum right now they're only 2 retro threads on the first couple of pages. Most of them are group type threads which can get cliquey. There used to be a better mix but atm imo there's a dichotomy between the two.

I do like the idea of a travel forum, but the danger is that with too many subsections the board could become fragmented.

I don't think so; there's already a subsection for every reality format! I just think there should be more non gogglebox related forums.

deffinately retro... the success of the rare 60's and rare 70's threads, both running for over a year now, prove theres a market for retro. i know of no other successful retro forum that caters for a broad field on the net. ds being the biggest entertainment site is in a prime situation to capitalise on the need.

oldies are often put off by forums because music forums are (naturally ) dominated by young people. a retro forum would give them easy access.

God no. They tried it a few months ago and there was, quite justifiably, outrage.

I reckon there should be kind of like a GD section but where its a free for all. Only rules would be no racism or discrimination. So you couldn't report people for hurling abuse at you such as "thunderc*nt" or name calling.

As long as the sign on the door reads something like "If you're a thin skinned pansy likely to run crying to mammy then do not enter."

I'd like to see a travel forum and also a religious one.

I don't see why we can't have a couple extra, when there are so many (around 30-40) in the 'Digital Communications' section.

Might be a teeny-tiny contradiction if you said 'no discrimination' and then used the word 'pansy'.....

That's why a 'free-for-all' like that could never exist on here - it'd be full of trouble before it even began.

A separate forum for anything to do with immigration, EDL/BNP, rants about religion and not forgetting anything where the OP quotes an article from the Daily Mail

One reason why that wouldn't work is because digital spy's trying to increase its number of members. That would likely decrease it.....QUICKLY!
