Digital Spy forums to remove Politics, Showbiz and General discussions forums
 

Its interesting how one of the biggest forum is removing all threads on Politics, Showbiz and General Discussion and one I can never see working but they are getting a Married at First Sight forum and one dedicated to streaming services

Its not a patch on Tibb. Xx

Its this because
they can not staff the Forums?

What they say
https://forums.digitalspy.com/discus...tal-spy-forum/

Its probably to try and cut down on arguing?

But they are Stupidly Strict.
That's why I no longer use them

...so does this indicate an ending for discussion forums in general, then...?..it feels like a weird decision unless that’s so ...their politics and general discussion forums are probably the busiest forums on the site ...this feels like the end of an era, very sad...:sad:..

...TiBB might get new members though when they all come here instead...

Weird move, I never could get on board with that forum anyway

I've never liked DS either anyway.
That seems a very odd move.

good decision of theirs

political news has become vile these days

well showbiz has become annoying these days, only the irrelevant H & M news




well tbh Married at First Sight has become a popular franchise these days

If it is anything like here were the overriding word in 'debate' is haterz then I can see their point :laugh:

ie the ones that require work/pay

its a cost cutting exercise

I dont mind DS ,but they don't take any ****, I haven't been there for a couple of years now so don't know what it's currently like.

Politics I can understand but showbiz and general is a bit odd

Isn't showbiz what most of their articles are based on :think:

Probably cost cutting.

Yes less Mods
saving them money.

Poor MTVN, I guess we will see more of him on here now he has been sacked

a 3rd wave

and now THIS???


:omgno:

the last straw!

Politics, I cannot blame them for. It is insane how much crap politics stuff causes. Its extremely annoying, and staff can not do right for doing wrong, so nuking the section makes total sense to me really.

Showbiz is a weird one, given the forum is largely about entertainment.

Sounds like a bad decision regarding General Discussion and Showbiz. I can see a vast decline in their traffic income, user base etc.

Even though I only visit a few sections there, it's a nice place to have. For the most part.

But that's one of the most fun aspects of a Politics Forum imo.

We all argue why we think our political views are correct, obviously personal insults aren't acceptable though.

But if you're right and that's the reason, then DS may as well shutdown it's Forum because there will always be debates on any topic, it's what Forums were made for.

This forum should do the same thing with the first one

James will be regretting that pay rise he offered me 2 weeks ago to secure my exclusive services :smug:

This does seem to a be a bit of a trend with websites viewing their discussion forums as more of a liability though. It's like how IMDB shut down their message boards and the official NFLUK website shut down its forum that I used a lot last season saying that their social media pages were the main avenue for fan interaction now

Reddit will be one of the only places left soon where you can just have 'general discussion' without the pitfalls of social media

i think we should shut down the drag race section and International Big Brother

just to be on the safe side?
