I tried to register with Digital Spy back in July and then they tried to charge me because I used a hotmail adress

So I looked for another BB forum and found this place, I'm glad I did now

Should have used your ISP provided address, it states when you register in bold text that the site doesn't allow sign ups from free anonymous e-mail addresses that render posters unaccountable.

Maybe but my hotmail is the only email account I've used and every other single site has accepted it. I never really read the conditions or the terms when I sign up for a site so I must have missed that

I tried to sign up with DS, but I realised it was ****, so I came here.

The average age on DS is actually around 30, 25 in the entertainment sections, 40 in politics and GD (it's a big site).

(Not that 50 is at all old)

It seems older because it's usership is less MTV gen (being originally a serious broadcasting forum before showbiz tookover the homepage).

I just nosey on DS for news I want. (If they know anything about BB and that before us). I am only a member on TIBB and a Neighbours site. The Neighbours site I only post on it a few times because well in TIBB it's more relaxed and you can post about nearly anything!

DS does seem a bit stricter.

It's interesting to note that all those that put down the site here have some sort of grudge to bear (being banned, unable to register etcetera) you rarely hear in threads like these comments of that nature from never banned, currently active members (well, you get the odd comment on DS itself criticising the direction the ownership are taking the main site / some of the more extreme views of some members but rarely the forum as a whole and usually in dispair rather than out of hate).

Why would unbanned, active DS members come here ?

Why not? I'm a member of several different fansites dedicated to the same cult shows. With different demographics and a different set of members, you can get a perspective on one you wouldn't on the other and vice versa and in the case of a show with as dedicated a following as BB it's useful to have a back up forum when the other goes down during live shows.

That may apply to you, but not the thousands of other unbanned, active DS members - they prefer the safety of their AT's .....

Does TIBB not have appreciation threads?

[flamingGalah!]

I used to mostly frequent the soaps forum on DS & believe me that place is RUN by 12 year old girls who are EastEnders fans...

If anyones dares to EVER say anything remotely negative about EastEnders, all of a sudden hundreds of pre-pubescents launch at you & they then trawl back through your posting history & find a post that goes against one of their 8456 rules & you are promptly given a ban... That happened all the time... Sad.

Yeah, that's the truth .....

I got temporary bans for criticising forum favourites like Chanelle - I was "mobbed" by pre-pubescents .....

The soaps forum along with the showbiz forum can be awful, but the inhabitants of those two forums are not the same people that inhabit the cult, politics or the advice sections, they're not even the same people who inhabit eachother's sections, this is what I mean about DS being a bit cliquey at times, people who inhabit a certain section more than others will be closer to those members than they will be to the members of another section and different sections can sometimes put eachother down. It's such a massive site, that unless you belong to a clique or have been around a long time, your gonna sometimes feel like it's them vs you when you piss people off.
