I stopped going on there in 2007. They are just way too insane, or the place houses too many insane people. Has anyone else stayed away from that place?

Everyone in there would fight over something and it would go on for 40 pages. It felt like the place was being run by skinheads. :yuk:

I've never been on the DS forums lol. I go on DS for the official news and stuff, but TiBB's the only one for me. :) (awww)

I joined but rarely post due to an extreme amounts of trolls and insanely harsh mods. It is interesting to lurk though.

I no longer go there, I fell foul of a demented Irish woman and ended up with a permanent ban.

They can ban your IP Number but they can't stop you using a Proxy (if you really want to go there, I don't!)

Anyone who wants a good Proxy site, U2U me!!!! lol

I went on the Big Brother section of the Forum A LOT before I found this place.

Now I go on there for:
Soaps Forum and Strictly Come Dancing (when it was on, I went on there for the spoiler to see who had left)

I only go there in the off-season - it just moves far too fast when the shows running and your posts disappear within five minutes into the depths of page 2!

No offence to anyone here, but the HUGE siggy's and whatnot, I kinda find that distracting, so I do go to DS more than here. I like a good argument too:hello:

I don't post there, I'm not even registered.
I think people are rude and not welcoming, the place is messy and the mods are not so mods.

The site's brilliant but the forum really puts me off. They insult everyone on there and its always so negative. Even if someone's died, theres always the occasional "why should I care?" which is highly disrespectful. I LOVE how they all think their hilarious too.

I stayed away for ages because I've heard such bad stuff about it but I joined in October last year and I mainly just post on one thread,which is very friendly! I stay well away from the main BB forum-they rip you to shreds on there.

The forum is disgusting, the members are so rude, I joined two years ago and I was ripped to shreds for liking Charley. I love the site, I always go on there every day without fail but the forum is the downfall of the site. The mods are so harsh on there as well I got banned for posting a duplicate thread.

I've never seen a bad word written about any members on there, I think members on here are far worse for throwing out insults.

Agreed. And the posting quality is way better on DS, I can always find an interesting and entertaining thread to read through there. There's far too many one-worded posts on this forum.

They are stricter with insults there, which I like actually. But sometimes, they ban you for the stupidest reasons.

Members here say everyone is horrible on there etc, when it's only the members here who are bitching and sniping at it.
It's a great forum imo.

I agree. Its not that they are horrible, they are just opinionated, and dont tend to back down. But they never insult anyone, or they get banned.

Indeed! The General discussion forum is even worse. So many sour people.

I used to love DS, but I have been permabanned so many times, for stupid things ( e.g Telling somebody that my post went way over their head, using the 'yawn' icon in my response) that I have given up on the place now.

Its a decent forum which is spolied by bias, power hungry mods and large amounts of bitter know it alls and 'politically correct' fanatics who thrive on being 'outraged' by peoples posts.

The mods on this site are far more reasonable and down to earth and you can actually have a heated debate if you want to.

Brilliantly put you have said everything i feel about DS and your absolutely right about the mods on here they do a great job and if there is an heated debate they give you a chance to sort it out ,which you always do because you dont get banned for petty things, which gives you a chance to reach a happy medium. Thank you so much Tibb Mods lol:cheer2::thumbs:Great post Stevie:thumbs2:

Never really been on the site other than to trace users that have appeared on here and caused problems that might have been banned there, and that was just for general information. And the last time I did that was so long ago I can't even remember if I made a account there now.

So the answer is basically no, I don't go on DS to post, although I have read the site as part of my role here in the past.

I like the website, can't stand the forums. The people there are too:

- Rude
- Cynical
- Negative
- Narrowminded
- Pre concieved
- Egocentric
- Cliquey
- Unwelcoming

and thats just the impression I get from reading the boards

I post there quite a lot. I don't use the BB forum that much when the show is on air though. Mainly in the ratings thread, I'm more interested in the production and build up towards the show these days than the actual show itself. I'm usually only a part time viewer by the half way point. There are some aggressive folk there yes, but most of them are nice enough once you get to know them. I've only had one ban myself (which was fully deserved), but admit that the mods can over react at times.

I'm not a forum memeber on there, but I do go on there to read stuff. It's another point of view. Sometimes they go into loads more detail, sometimes they don't. And I know other people on here are users too.

I don't go on any more really. I think it's a little boring at times.
