There seem to be very little new posts regarding Corrie and Emmerdale. It is getting worse too. There seems to have been a gradual decrease in new posts over the past six months.
I am crap at doing new posts but I do give it a go sometimes ......... I am lucky if I get more than half a dozen replies to mine!
So, come on everyone, let's make a determined effort to get more posts out ( ones of interest, of course) about our favourite soaps.

EastEnders & Hollyoaks seems to be drowning them out at the moment. Corrie & Emmerdale are being quiet with their storylines compared to EE & HO so its understandable.

Perhaps we should take a leaf out of the EE fans book & start a new thread for every character after every episode!

I just wait for other people to make threads and then post on them . I must admit I would like to see more ED threads as that's the soap I'm most interested in at the moment.

So make some.

Instead of being immature and moaning about "Eastenders fans" make threads on subjects you would like to discuss. It's not everybody else's job to alter the forum to fit your tastes.

Quite a lot of the Emmerdale posters have left the forum. Also, without wishing to cast aspersions of posting habits, ED and Corrie fans do tend to look for and then use existing threads (like the daily episode one, emmerdale past and present and Corrie SOR ones) rather than starting a new one up at the drop of a hat. I mean how many were there about Khali Best leaving EE yesterday?

Also, Corrie just isn't very good at the moment so interest has waned somewhat.

its not every character its usually the same character or scene x 20 threads cos the children just have to be the author.

it is v. annoying and I love EE. I have noticed same with corrie and emmerdale been quiet. think most the emmerdale folk stay in the daily thread and I dont think anything has happened in corrie since the trial.

Don't tar us all with the same brush . Most of us manage to reign in the impulse to stat Multiple threads. I have seen loads of Emmerdale threads during the Declan and Donna storylines and the same with Corrie during the Tina storyline

Duplicate threads can be reported and the mods will merge them.

They weren't duplicate, it was people posting pointless threads

OK. I don't think they're allowed either. Pointless posts aren't, although there are plenty around - they just don't get reported.

Yes, but I have you to rely on for that .

But yes, I shall be putting more effort into creating threads. I'm the king of procrastinators though, so I'm not promising anything .

Why Thank You Flatterer!

As a starting point how about a thread on your favourite ever Emmerdale character or storyline?

Coronation Street and Emmerdale are both shite so it's not surprising that nobody's posting about them.

The daily threads are not my cup of tea.
There is just too much in them.

My goodness, rhumble, do you hold the record for posts??
You certainly have a brilliant number of posts (I have only just gone over the 1300 mark!)

I created a new thread called EE character suggestions, then another poster created a similar thread. When I asked why they didn't just use my thread I was labelled an egotist

It's just basic manners, something which seems to be lacking on here a lot more. The forum has lost its fun aspect these days too, which is a shame.

Then we have to find a way to restore the fun aspect and indeed reinvigorate the soap forums in general!Any suggestions?
