Problem solved. Bots will pay out of his Colonialisation and white privilege pension

Yeah I'd say the biggest factor in the forum losing members is that it's dedicated to a TV show that everyone thought had been cancelled for good nearly six years ago. When that happened we were only going to lose members and not gain them and its natural for some people to fall away, life changes after all. Traditional forums like this are also a declining form of social media and most people use other websites and apps to discuss things these days

I agree with James that it was a pleasant surprise that the forum stayed active after C5 axed BB and it was great to see a lot of people return for the ITV series. It's also true that this place endured off the scales drama for years when it had a lot bigger membership. The toxicity was way higher than it has been in the last couple of years

At the end of the day forums are defined and sustained by their membership and everyone is an individual with their own views and posting habits. It's not for us to strictly control everything on here and try and moderate everything to fit a certain mold.

I mean if its not for you leave but don't keep coming back moaning

its so dreadfully tiresome

Where are they all then? Why aren’t they engaging? Posting etc.

People have literally been driven away from this forum and no one can deny that. That is a fact. A hard fact no one seems to want to admit.

You asked for opinions, and people have varying opinions, 10 people (and Zizu) have said they wouldn’t pay, not just Glenn, he’s as entitled to an opinion as the rest of you.

My opinion is along the lines of Glenn’s, but also very similar to Slim’s, I barely post as it is, it used to feel like a big community, and it’s lost that feel a lot, this days it’s a smaller one. (Due to various reasons, some that have been covered, but not exclusive to that)

I used to play a lot of the games, and there’d always be different casts, whereas now every game seems to be exactly the same people playing, so I’m never really inspired to sign up to any of them, or to post much.

I know after posting the other week, a few people said it’s nice to see me around, I’ve not left, I’ve been on the forum most days, I just don’t see any topics I want to interact with, and I know that I could make one, but I’m also not hugely inspired to do that either, so I wouldn’t pay for it.

Whilst I have made some very good friendships off this website, I speak to almost all of them on a different platform now, it’s only really Ammi that I message on here. (And even then, when she left the forum I spoke to her elsewhere)

Do you think maybe having a new sub-Forum would rejuvenate your interest in the Forum?

In all honesty I wouldn’t mind paying a nominal fee of £1 a month - thats what I pay for the Pro Version of TapaTalk

I guess Serious Debates gets too much at times, and the threads about that certain ginger bloke and his American wife are literally hard work But there are so many little fun pockets of the forum. Chats and Games, Movies, Music, Sports are all great. Zizu driving me mad in the football threads is great too

I definitely don’t think the place is worth subscribing to.
