At the very least, if keeping two separate forums, "Tech & Games" + "Movies & TV" would make much more sense. Just sayin.
Don’t come for the soaps forum!

You’ve harmed your Most Loved campaign with this

How about dropping ALL the existing names and just calling it:

Might be an idea to separate them to a Serious Debates subfrom and a General News subforum
means the SD lot are happy and it means any ‘newsy’ articles of interest such as those like celebrity news and stuff about, say, a retail chain closing down or like when there’s been a huge rebrand of somewhere like when Google changed its logo, it’s not serious debates worthy but it’s newsworthy etc.
Anything noteworthy really, but also the big stories too etc

Seeing a thread on Stephanie and Hollyoaks in amongst serious debates just doesn't do it for me

hmmm i guess i had been seeing other tv shows in tv chat rather than classic sitcoms


and soaps are classic as well, when we think of how long EastEnders, Corrie have been going on now


our GTST here in holland is now on the air for about 28 years

A perfect example of why celebrity shouldn’t be in SD.

This merge should not have happened.

It is a very bizarre mix imo.

On balance, I think it is a step in the right direction, getting rid of SD would be even better. Keep it as an entertainment only forum.
