A new influx of 'asylum seekers'/immigrants

[1664kronenbourg]

A load of us from the Digital Spy forums're 'emigrating' to other forums due to it becoming a read only forum so I'd better warn you that there're might be an increase of new members.

So no new registrations? How can a forum be read only, surely someone has to post for it to continue existing?

Its only the politics and General Discussion forums that're being made read only

Digital Spy have unwittingly created the best politics forum on the internet.

Now I get it, they're archiving them.

We will also introduce new dedicated forums for Married at First Sight and RuPaul's Drag Race.

Wow, quality replacement.

I remember when GD was killed from Hard Forum decades ago. The resultant forum was epic but is really a mothballed website now.

If only OcUK could do the same with politics and news..

Half of me thinks it wouldn't be a terrible idea either.

I'm surprised it took so long. Hearst are a publisher, they aren't interested in monitoring an old forum that has nothing to do with the actual publication/content (Digital Spy). It's a heavily used forum, must cost loads to run and they get a lot of legal threats from things that posters have written on there. If they were a shop then the unrelated traffic might be worth it, but they are not a shop.

What's your other half think?

oh I get it now...

I didn't realise they had turned off the subforums with immediate effect - that seems a bit harsh! A lot of friends probably didn't get to say goodbye to each other.

SEND THEM BACK!!!!!

I don't mind as long as they intergrate themselves properly and aren't a drain on resources.
