Default 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

...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.....

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

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

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

Probably cost cutting.

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 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
