Offical forum open now

[Shawn b]

The offical forum is now open at Deborah's site.

[Woops]

Just joined for the heck of it 

[Woops]

Here's the official forum

Only two sections can be seen (off line), but there's actually about 6.

[Dariusz]

I don't know what to say, should I be flattered or full of it that they are using the same forum software that I spent ages testing before I used it for my Deb website?

[Woops]

There's some controversy in the comments section since it appears that I have caused an annoyance...


Yes, I'll admit that I've posted 4 "Deja Vu" threads (which would've been asked in any forum) like music video polls , pop vs. Broadway, the (no longer updated) quiz thread and a question about songs that would make a good video.  Mainly general topics that are often talked about in many forums (ie Ultimate Disney, Toon Zone would have threads about Disney animated features, nostalgia forums would have topics about  favorite films and such).

Worthless threads would be topics that would have no relevence like old news or tv appearances that have been talked about.

Also a few in the off topic, which are slightly different since they're polls of other singers (Taylor Dayne & Natasha Bedingfield), another poll and two lists. Not trying to shove them down into people or anything.

[Woops]

Deleted the "music video idea" thread for the heck of it.

I also sounded a bit harsh on the comment box, which I felt like venting.

As for the four threads in the off topic section, they were posted to get some insight rather than forcing people to listen to Natasha Bedingfield, Taylor Dayne, talk about some music video list or watch Warner Bros. animation.

That is a Deborah's  Official forum. Well, we might not know that she will just pop in as a guest to view some threads. What is posted in Deb ski remains and fans over there will have their own ideas on a new topic starter.

Just don't go round SPAMMING, it's very ANNOYING.  

[Woops]

How is it spam to post some same threads?

There's other similar threads on that forum from  favorite CDs to  songs that Deb should cover that are posted on any forum about Deb and/or any particular artist (though under their name).

Also 5 threads isn't exactly hogging.  


Sorry if I've offended anybody, which I had no intentions of doing. Let's bygones be bygones.

Added: I've deleted my own account from the Official Deb forum since I don't want to be part of  more drama

edited: I sounded a bit harsh.

Oh my goodness what happened? It's like flame war going on.  LOL I go out to dinner and a movie world war 3 breaks out.  I still say I refuse to pay like a fan wants people to for Deb's forum.  Hell to the No

I was accused for hogging the forum, which I've read at the comment box on the official site, which  I've only posted about 5 threads (3 yesterday and 2 today). Also I don't consider posting similar threads (ie music video polls, Deb quiz page from an official questionaire site, pop vs. Broadway) as "spam".


I know that I shouldn't have deleted myself from that forum, though ironically I'm pretty much stating some reasons of not being part of it since it would be redundant (ie posting a few similar threads, posting same replies, etc.)



In case anybody's wondering, my former alias was "TalkingMagpie"

added: a few more details.

[Dariusz]

Everyone is free to start whatever topics they like. Topics that aren't popular obviously don't get replies, that's the way it is.

The only thing I look out for is if a topic is in the right section, and if it's spam. Having made some rules for spammers, the problem has reduced drastically. And you know what spam is, viagra, pen1s enlargements, and all the rest of that kind of rubbish. I don't go deleting topics unless it is spam.

You're free to talk what you like here. I've not kicked anyone off of this forum, even if it's a controversial topic. The COMPLETE opposite of how the official forum used to be like, and we all know how many people (myself included) lost lots of money from being kicked out of the fanclub for not kissing official ass.

In that sense, there are lots that have looong memories.

[Out of the Blue]

I have a feeling that if a certain obnoxious fan that's known to fans that have been on or read other unofficial fan boards (I know everyone knows his name which I won't mention because he seems to love being talked about and loves the attention) that he wouldn't last here one full day.  If he tries to join the official forum it will be the same thing there too thank God.

[PaSquall]

That's crazy ! I paid a visit and I really had the feeling that I was on Dariusz forum... They could at least have changed some parts of the interface, color...

[Dariusz]

OOTB, If I'm thinking of the same person, he's on a self-imposed exile, nothing to do with me.

[Erica]

It might be the same person who used to email me a while ago.
