A general comment from me

To all of you who have posted, I want to thank you for saying what you did, and I applaud Em for having the cojones to speak out.
I know I post all the time, but that is just the episode guide, and once in a while I post a new thread..
I try to stay out of the political part, cos I am not a Brit and i do not really know the innies or the outties of your Political system. So I stay out of that unless it is something I actually know something about ( like the smoking ban )
I too noticed the amount of posts were down, I remember last year there was thousands of posts, could it be that the quality of the programs we have been watching gone down the tubes ??:searchme:
I am so grateful for the wonderful friends I have made here and I cherish each and every one of you ( you know who you are ) And I look forward coming on here to see if those friends are here, if not I try to seek them out on MSN, granted we all lead different lives, we all may not have all the time to spare to chat with each other, but we do keep in contact..all I can say is I am thankful I discovered the SB's its by far the nicest site :) and some really nice folks who has put up with my rubbish :p
LONG LIVE THE SOAP BOARDS

To be honest i kind of agree, there has definitly been a reduction in posts, but that could be due to time of year. We have on MFF as well and people have gone on holiday but you are right in general theres less activity.
I'm sure it will improve.

As you know I think the same too Emz and I want to thank-you for starting this thread. A year ago or something I ALWAYS used to post here nearly everyday and I was an addict! I'm not as addicted to posting on boards now as you may have noticed but I do read posts when I have time. I mainly browse around really quickly as I have been very busy with my GCSE mocks, holidays and other stuff, same with last year but with SATs. It will probably be the same case as I got my proper GCSE's next year but I will try and contribute when I have time once again, during the holiday prehaps.

There were 3 main places where I usually post, one being the EE forum.. I don't post as much nowadays as I only watch it when I remember, before I used to watch it quite religiously! I have missed quite a few episodes and I still don't know where Ben is! I know I will be missing more in the future so yeah.. I only really post when I find something quite shocking or unexpected and when there are good things to say from other members. Started to watch Hollyoaks quite a bit now! I don't know any of the characters that well do haven't posted much there yet!

I used to post in the Entertainment section eg. Big Brother! I hardly watch that nowadays as I find it to late to watch on a school night. Though I stay up quite late it sort of delays my 'schedule' on a school night haha. My fav. forum used to be the General Discussion forum I would say I haven't posted there because I been busy with everything etc.!

Once again thanks for bringing this up :) x

Well you sure have made up for it today.:p Welcome back Ive missed you many posts:)

I have noticed, the less posts aswell, but this site isnt what it used to be anyway, no one used to bitch about people in threads and moan at their oppinions ( i know i have done this so i aint moaning at people lol), and other people have been driven away from the board cos of what people have said.
The main topic i used to post in was the bill, but im not as interested in the show and there isnt that many bill fans on here now anyway.
so i only relly read posts now every now and then and sometimes post, i have posted more today than i have in a long time and i think ive only made 5posts!
This was the best forum i had been on when i first joined, but slowly its becoming like Ds minus the amount of replies they get

As someone who used to regularly 'argue' with you here I think we have come to respect each others views. Now that is something which NEVER happens on DS. BTW I still dislike your namesake on The Bill:p but not you as a person or poster:angel:

Yeah I used to always argue with you lol, and if I had actually stoped arguing for a while then I would have realised your posts are actually really good and a good contribution lol.
Thats another reason why I stopped posting in the bill section to stop me arguing with people

Post away as long as you dont keep raving about the METS worst detective

Thanks for this, I have noticed today that there are a lot more posts than there usually are when I come on.

I know I've been bitchy in some threads and I apologise for that.

I think we need more games. I know that they are time consuming for the game leader but they are such good fun and lots of people get involved. The Deal Or No Deal game was a huge success and it would be great to have more games like that (even another round maybe??). I know we have the Murder Game coming up (:thumbsup: ) but after that it would be good to see another game.

I totally understand what you mean about the amount of posts falling and I know Im guilty of that due to exams and stuff that had caused me to pull myself away from the internet and not spent as much time on here and I am trying to get back to posting as much as I did and I do really try but I havent watched as much as my soaps lately so I would find it unfair to post in those threads and as soon as I can Im going to get back into watching them again cos I have missed them and then I will be back to posting. Its other areas like general disscusion where I find a real lack of what to chat about, I can never thing of anything and sometimes In the past I have came in here and its ben weeks since a new thread was posted. I would love it if we could get back to the way we used to be cos I tend to always have lots to say, even if it is just a little comment in different topics.
Ive never really had a issue with agruments, I think I can remember one time, wasnt such an argument but it was dealt with quickly and really there isnt a need. I mean everyone is entilted to an opinion but you still have to think about what you say and how you say it.
I didnt think we had many polictal debates but if people wanted to have them (debates) and such serious talks we suppose have a serious disccssion board or something so it was kept seperate and didnt get on the way of other things such as turning a light hearted chat into a debate, anywayss its only a suggestion, if it was to help things out.
Anyway thankyou so much for bringing this up :) I hope I havent said anything to offend anyone, dont think I have however I feel like Ive rambeled on lol
