There's an announcement on it over there about the admin seeking to rectify the problem, and the normal policy towards forum users applies, i.e. you're not allowed to talk about it and if you do, you're banned.

Fight Club.

Or, more likely, a bunch of over zealous twats who perceive themselves, their site and the way it runs to be something extremely special, and are determined to stamp out anything that would even remotely change or challenge the operational regime and/or those behind it.

Most notible when DS posted an article on sexual infections and soaps. They used a picture of John-Paul and Craig, someone started a thread about it, are DS being this and that, the picture was then changed and DS removed all threads about it.

I couldn't have put it better myself! Excellent post, Noelfirl.

Digital Spy is a load of fucking shit. Their website is badly designed, overloaded with adverts and other junk. DS is basically TV Forum but with press releases and poorly written articles which basically reiterate press releases - but badly.

It does have a certain amount of comedy value, however.

I dip in every couple of months to see what changes Radio Rotherham is predicting, completely incorrectly, to the satellite channels.

He, she or it, is probably still telling everyone that Westcountry North is coming to Astra in November.

Mr Rotherham seems to produce a huge post, once a week, which contains far more anagram of hits than our back garden after Mr Cadbury hasn't been to the hills for a walk for a day or two.
