They do intend to lift the read only status, but they don't know when as they don't know how long it will take to migrate everything over.

Never thought about the news pages, as you rightly allude to they're so bad that I no longer bother to look at them.

I know, I read this post on the forum

Re: Digital Spy may be closed or downsized.
 

Apparently just before they locked their forums someone posted an invitation in loads of threads to keep the conversations going by joining up here...whoever it was, nice plan :D

Re: Digital Spy may be closed or downsized.
 

Just had a (quick) look and can't see anything, maybe they've deleted it??

Re: Digital Spy may be closed or downsized.

Ha! Now that takes me back....Ah Brian, bless 'im.

Oh and in the words of Shaggy, it wasn't me - but I do wish I'd thought of it!

Oh dear, my first thoughts were I don't remember hearing that line in scooby doo oops:

It has been a long night

How long should an upgrade take?, didn't even notice any downtime when OverclockersUK recently upgraded their old forum version.

Hi I just found this place there really not many places left to talk I also really miss imdb boards.

Re: Digital Spy may be closed or downsized.
 

They are having a ban amnesty, so whoever did it can have a chance to make amends if they wish to.

I don't know enough about these things to say, but it does seem very odd.

In the real world businesses are loathe to close for even a very short time as customers find other places to go.

There's still lots of places left to discuss allsorts of things, it just depends what your interests are.

Re: Digital Spy may be closed or downsized.
 

So do the trolls, which apparently is why they were closed.

Re: Digital Spy may be closed or downsized.
 

I am baffled by the DS bashing. There are elements of the site which have been badly run, HOWEVER the forums are the best on the entire internet. Where else can you see such a comprehensive selection of different forums together, which are easy to read and get a lot of use? General, gaming, movies, broadcasting, music, movies, advice and even more specialist ones.

Now, the adverts are becoming a huge problem across the board. Once reputable broadsheets are now reduced to clickbait headlines. Look at the Telegraph facebook page for example. Journalism is now about causing outrage, then stepping back and laughing at the reactions and hoping they noticed an advert. Its a system which is ruining the finest institutions of broadcasting across the board.

Already on this site the page numbers of the threads are tiny and hard to click. Hurry back DS!

And as for people saying they had disagreements on the forums - of course - which forums do every user have the same opinion about everything? lol.

Re: Digital Spy may be closed or downsized.
 

LOL, I can only guess you dont get around many forums. :)

Well if thats your only concern, I'm glad you like it here. :cool:

You do realise that once DS comes back, its going to be different software, not what you are used to, so page numbers may be the least of your worries. ;)
