I used to use that one, stopped early BB8 when I lost interest in said series. I see they didn't cover CBB.

It's odd looking back on now (pretty much) dormant sites you used to use and their now (pretty much) desserted forums and chatrooms.

By far the busiest forum I use or have used is D.S., it's ranked in the top 40 largest in the world, number 1 when measured on certain metrics.

it would tap into a load of new members

I'd rather cut off my two veg than force myself to watch and discuss an MTV reality show.

Though I also consider it the best, though when I first joined, three years younger and four or five years more naive, I wasn't too keen on it, with a more mature membership than this place they don't go as easily on you or at least they didn't, don't know if it's just that I've become one of them but they seem to be less arsey these days.

None in particular, just forums, fan sites, web 1.0 pre-dot com bubble burst mega-sites etcetera.

I used to quite like popping on there, but I dont go on there with anything like the frequency now, I personally found it too cliquey. I wouldnt say the membership was any more mature than here, just the mods are a lot less tolerant and a lot more in your face. Mind there are a lot worse places.

Horses for courses.

I've only ever been banned once in my time on D.S. (a week long thing) and though it was a stupid rule, it was a rule that I was aware of when I signed up.

Nah was just the way the forum developed over the last couple of series, you couldnt say anything critical of certain housemates, for example at certain times of the evening and night posts were deleted and people banned for saying something as mundane as Rachel shouldnt win because she was boring/not entertaining etc. I just thought it was getting pathetic.

I've said a lot worse at all times and recieved not so much as a warning.
It says in the DSBB rules and guidlines not to unjustifiable rip at housemates out of context though I admit what you describe was bending that definition somewhat.

(My crime btw was saying something quite distasteful about how much I disliked Zezi on BBLB during BB9)

You have to remember though that it's a commercial site run by a site owned by a publishing company, that's more respected in the public eye than simmilar sites so they're bound to be tougher.

I do think the frontend's gone downhill since it started focussing on showbiz though.

DS is like The Sun of the internet forum world. Full of jealous women and perhaps men. The showbiz forum is a joke, every programme which is on TV is apparently a bad programme. Most of the users on DS are just idiots.

The amount of jealous women on their to people like cheryl cole is laughable. Even though i don't like Cheryl myself, to say she is ugly etc as you see is just pathetic.
