Not a chance. There are far less active forums.

Their front page is a mess. Too many gifs looping.

Like those Freeview and Sky forums could be merged into broadcasting.
For the benefit of those that weren't around then, DS never used to cover any of the reality TV or soap nonsense. It was primarily a media/tech news outlet. |

Oh the other thread seems to have been culled. Well that is exactly why it all went wrong. Not allowing any opinions.

Not sure if you were being ironic but if they did it would be effectively be a massive middle finger to members who have supported the site since the early days.

Wow! Digitalspy looked like an early version of AVForums. In fact they looked like most forums back then. Or at least the ones I was into.

I really hope that all that has been written on the forums remains online, I've written quite a lot and don't want to see it disappear from the internet.

I don't post much but have looked on for a couple of years and have noticed the culling and banning of posters who have dared to criticise a certain religion. Best not say what one. ![]() This is a privately owned Forum and as such free speech dies not exist. Fair enough but overly obsessed Mods are ruining it. |

Funnily enough, I'm never really conscious of the 'main site'. I just start typing 'dig...' in my address bar and I get the forum address come up, click on that and off I go. I forget there's anything else to this site other than the forums, and maybe that is the issue ?

Having seen a forum close I fear you hope in vain. What we write here is as ephemeral as the words we speak every day.

This is absolutely correct. I've been here since the forums began, having been visiting one of its predecessor forums, the ONfaq forum. This the Digital Spy forum homepage as it appeared soon after launch, in June 2000: http://web.archive.org/web/200006191...n/Ultimate.cgi. No showbiz gossip back then, and the ONdigital and Sky Digital forums were by far the busiest!

Yeah it's odd, it's really like 2 completely different worlds the forums from the main site.

I will be very sad if this closes. This and QVC is the way I get my brain to close off about work.
I dont visit other parts of the site either, its not relevant to me. So what are my choices for light hearted chit chat and discussion of current affairs with regards to other forums? |

From the writing on the wall thread Quote:
This thread is a work of fiction. While there are some aspects of the site being affected by change, the forums are not part of this.
