Re: Digital Spy may be closed or downsized.
I visit Digital Spy quite regularly, but it's not what it was.
I was never a massive user of the forums, although I did enjoy my few visits there.
I did used to like the main site though. What persuaded me to join the forums was that I was looking at the main site, and it had a (then) excellent mix of tech news, cable news, TV news and movie news, provided by a team who seemed to know their stuff.
Lately, maybe it's because I'm getting older, but the forums have lost what atmosphere they had. I also used to enjoy a good argument in the comments section on the main site, which has been removed, sadly.
Regarding content, I feel they are concentrating too much on the reality TV now (it was always present, but was a lot less prevalent previously).
I think, in general, it's gone from an excellent tech site with a little gossip on the side to a largely gossip site with a little technical news on the side. Something which is in line with Hearst's magazines, but has probably lost Digital Spy a lot of members.
