Celebrity News forum now combined with Serious Debates & News forum [update: done]

[James]

The celebrity news forum is not very active, and I think the posts are basically news stories so I'm going to close down Celebrity News and move the posts to Serious Debates and News.

The forum will be titled Serious Debates and News [including celebrity] or something like that.

Why are you like this my son? You seem so confused. Brexit cannot be both bad and good, and Jeremy Corby might indeed be bad but we cannot verify as much because no one knows anything about him - Is he some type of celebrity?

Whoever Jeremy Corby might be I feel sorry for him having to bear the burden of a name which is so close to that prat Jeremy Corbyn.

'Gemma Collins Goes To Debenhams'? Is that a new pop group, something along the lines of 'Frankie Goes To Hollywood'?

As for immigrants; not all immigrants are bad so I do not know why you are using a swear word as an adjective for them. :nono:

the game is changing?

[Maru]

I'm OK with this change :love:... though to be honest, most celebrity "News" is not actually news. Most of it is pictures, often with mean commentary attached or copy-pasta with mean commentary from a tweet storm... just more "news junk" fighting for our eyeballs.... so basically gossip.

Here for when the latest sex tape is referenced here and we are all asked to watch and give our "expert news" opinion.

If staff are looking for sensible merger ideas, though...

Given current traffic of each forum, there's no need for soaps to be separate from general TV chat, and in fact, the entire TV subforum could quite easily be annexed by Tech, Movies and Games (becoming Tech, Movies, TV and Games). At the very least, if keeping two separate forums, "Tech & Games" + "Movies & TV" would make much more sense. Just sayin.

Those type of threads make it difficult to get - and keep - advertising, which pays for the site.

The Celebrity News forum was mainly being used for reporting celebrity deaths, and those can go in the SD&N forum. If people want to post celebrity nonsense in this forum - well it's all part of the news agenda - just look at any newspaper or news site.

But there didn't seem to be much interest in those type of threads in the Celebrity News forum.

I still think some kind of general Arts and Culture subforum would be popular, there's loads of theatre shows for example that I think would get attention (there was a Mean Girls one recently for example) and so much more that could go in there, and celebrity news would also slot into that quite nicely... maybe something like Arts, Culture and Celebrity News to replace the old celebrity one?

[user104658]

But I can't see many people on here being up for that [emoji23]... Cheapskates.

Or a photo with their username on I guess for those who are clearly over 18. I think we had issuers at one stage with someone creating a convincing Photoshop of this kind of thing though

As for the change, I disagree with it tbh but meh. Would have much preferred celeb + news, then serious debates separate. But it seems getting SD separated off is definitely not going to happen.

[Livia]

Celebrity & News and a separate Serious Debates is the logical answer. And Celebrity is more a Chat and Games thing. I would suggest we took a vote, if it was any kind of "democracy", or anyone actually cared what the forum members think.

There used to be 'serious debates' on its own, and 'news' was quite separate. People were unhappy when the two were amalgamated but forum members aren't consulted - ever. And once a decision has descended from on high, there's no changing it. Shoving 'celebrity' in there too just makes a mockery of the whole idea of having a serious discussion. I see this as TiBB setting out its stall for the future.

Plenty of people have objected when people have suggested this before. It sounds to me that what you really want is to get rid of political opinions from the site not popular with you - maybe just have it as a general left wing chat site which is pretty much what it has been for years.

The fact that those not so much to left have been more vocal lately clearly doesn’t sit well with some. It’s callled bringing all views to the table and creating a balance more in line with the general views of the country. :shrug:

If it's so liked then there's nothing to be afraid of, Brillo.

It’s not fear - but annoyance at the audacity. We all have a right to a say.

I'm not the first one to make this suggestion. There was a thread few months ago, created by Underscore if I remember correctly.
There was a lot of opposition to SD back then too.

Brillo is right honestly

It’s simple isn’t it - if you, underscore or anyone else don’t like SD - then steer clear and leave it to those that do - rather than try to get it removed. Anyone would think that different opinions posed some kind of threat to some.

Only because some people didn't agree with each other , but imo , that is what a forum is all about, adults should be able to debate and disagree without fighting ,insulting and falling out, I , for one have learned a few things from the SD section , I have also seen some bullying on there , by people who cannot get their head around the fact others have a different opinion to them. If you think politics has no place here , you could say the same about all the other sections, ie sport etc afterall it is supposed to be a BB site, so why cant we be tolerant of all subjects even the ones we don't like, but even then we have a choice to bypass those.

I hear you.
But nah, get ha out of an entertainment forum, it only creates negativity and divisions. Instead, as Nicky says, we should relax and have fun :hee:

Well, BB yes, but more broadly, it is an entertainment forum.
Sport is entertainment so we should keep it.

[Twosugars]

and yet you ignore my advice every single time :fan:

I'm trying to adopt it as my motto. You should be more supportive :hehe:

[Nicky91]

SD is also entertainment, cause some news can be quite nice, intellectual tbh

so i vote to keep SD on the forum then

[Brillopad]

So someone who has been on the site for a few months wants to remove a forum that others have enjoyed for considerably longer because it doesn’t apparently fit in with your idea of entertainment. Sounds very reasonable to me! :fist:

Also sounds rather dictorial. Is this the former fairly easy-going pleasant two sugars getting all territorial and controlling. Most of these kind of sites have serious discussion forums - for good reason they are popular.

[Cherie]

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.

Or you could out it on ignore if you are not interested :shrug:,

[Cherie]

worth checking if it is so liked...

In the we need a gay subforum thread I made a list of the members that contribute and its probably the most used forum

It’s too hot for your trolling 2TS

Believe it or not, it was the admirable intellectual quality of this forum's Serious Debate posts which 'drew me in' when I first came across the site 4 years ago.

I browsed the different forums but ended up spending hours reading through serious Debates before joining.

As Cherie says; 'Put it on ignore' and stay off there if you dislike it so much.

It was only a suggestion. Over my few months here I've changed my view of SD. I hope I'm allowed to? I used to be a fan, now I think it's toxic. I wanted to register my views here.
I'm not getting territorial or controlling, Brillo, don't be silly. How could I? I'm just an ordinary member like you.
Why you didn't tell me earlier I was easy-going and pleasant? :suspect:
Anyway, I said my bit and leave it at that. Attacks of trolling and heat stroke already started so there's no point in further debate.
Btw, Kirk, thank you for your non-judgmental reply.

I’ve never understood this ‘get rid of this, that or the other forum mentality. There are lots of forums on here I never go in but I’m not suggesting they are removed because they don’t interest me. It’s ridiculous - there is other motivation at play here in my opinion.

[Vicky.]

SD won't be getting deleted tbh. Off season its probably the busiest subforum. However, I do still disagree with the merge.

Do you think it shows collusion of our Admin with Chat and Games? :worry:

I don't understand the question :laugh:

I don't think old 2 shuges likes getting his worldview challenged tbh

Au contraire, love debating different opinions. But when you start posting superfluous images to inflame a thread or dont provide links where it does not suit you, I draw a line. Simple as.

Whats gan on in here?

Cant spell half of them so i will go for....crabs.....


Bloody nightmare...ban them.

[Beso]

Best thing to do is just keep the forum how it is..

N just use the todays new posts link at the top, that way you dont really look at what forum you are going to.

Just pick the right forum for your thread topic, if making one!

[Beso]

Or just have one forum called non bb chat..then post whatever you like.

[Beso]

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

'War Zone Where Posts Are More Likely To Be Removed Thread' :laugh:

Or

Come in here for a week off.:shrug:

It can be, but to be totally honest, there are threads in the BB sections during most seasons that are much, MUCH worse than anything I've ever seen in SD. Some seriously nasty stuff that goes way beyond simple ignorance or difference of opinion :shrug:

[Kizzy]

This is the reality of celebrity chat coming to SD

One of the best things to ever happen to this forum

You still can't sit with us...

The admins really breathed new life into the dying debates forum with this merge, ugh their minds :flutter:

[emseateng2014]

i do not know if combining celeb news and serious news to 1 is the best thing but oh well i guess it makes sense if celebs gets invovled with serious news stuff like hollywood in politics
