It's happening :(

NO!!!

 

THEY'VE SPLIT??

 

No way!!

Just release Last Call or Chasing Lights as a tribute last single y'know!

 

Right! They won't have fulfilled their career until they ruin their Top 40 streak as well as their Top 20 streak :kink:

Huh?? When was this announced??!!

Huh?? When was this announced??!!

Never.

I was literally about to put across my view of this forum as it stands now but I can't quite write it without seeming like a dick haha. I know we're free to post basically anything.

 

EDIT: Here it is anyway. This forum is a sinking ship and something really has to be done and I really don't think just hiring a new moderator is gonna fix that. Some regular posters don't even bother coming in here now and I get the sense that they feel they're not welcome maybe and I don't see new posters signing up to join really either and if they do they never seem to post. On Plug.DJ someone even said they don't come in here because they aren't part of the in crowd so all they do is read rather than post cause they don't understand what's going on or feel like they can participate. Essentially I just feel that the forum needs some rules maybe or maybe just a tad less cliqueness cause the problems aren't going to get any better unless something changes aside from the names at the top.

 

In all fairness I do enjoy the non seriousness of this forum but it's not working for everyone.

Rochelle followed me on Twitter after I was sorta shading her for changing her username :o :o

I feel bad now :( What if she followed by accident? :P

I see what James is saying. I've seen a couple of members scanning the forum but they never post because their intimidated to do so. But I don't see this as a 'clique' problem since there aren't any inside jokes, I think Lee has tried to make the forum as welcoming as possible.

 

Regardless, there has been a substantial loss in regular posters which is indeed an area that the community needs to maintain. (Will, sociopath, Daniella etc went from regulars to non-existent quite quickly which is a big shame)

At the same time there needs to be stuff here for them to post and participate it in order for them to stay, I guess.

I think its just gonna be a forum for following their solo activities for a while.

It's always going to be difficult to manage a forum when the girls are doing nothing. We've managed to stay above 100 posts a week and the third most successful AF on Buzzjack.

 

I do think you're thinking too much into this James as we've managed to create a community and it's nowhere near as difficult to communicate as one might say. I'm proud that I've managed to make this an incredible success and proud that I've managed to interact with so many posters within this part of the forum, creating a community has its benefits and negatives and it's not just in the Sats forum that new members might not stick around it's all around Buzzjack and other forums.

 

We've got a great mix of posters and I don't want to force posters to post and it's a natural thing for money because there comfortable here. The forum is not a sinking ship. The forum will only grow once we have some solo news.

TBF the new posters could have it worse, I've been posting in here since we got The Saturdays forum and a member of the forum long before that. People still don't even know who or what I am lol.

We know who you are tbh, you're the crazy poster with the blonde bimbo eating a cookie sig

 

xo

I know who you are Martyn. :heart:

 

As for what you said James... I do agree that some rules to ground the community a bit wouldn't hurt. I do feel like we are a bit "too much" sometimes and I reckon that could indeed be intimidating to people that don't know our community that well.

 

What I'm afraid about is that rules are just going to piss/bore off the members we already have, those that are very loud/like to fool around and stuff.

 

However, my main issue right now is that there is clearly some huge (and totally unnecessary) negativity around here. We've had months far more worse than this, with less news or Saturdays-related things to go on with, but somehow it only seems to be an issue now that the situation of the group is somehow properly precarious for once. It's a shame as we've been having lots of threads related to the girls and strictly to them lately.

 

The Girls Aloud forum is still up and kicking with basically only one member being more or less active (and I'm pretty sure her fans would say she's doing absolutely NOTHING these days. :lol:)

 

People are writing off this forum so easily, it's a bit sad to read actually.

I am positive. I don't think Hurricane will be dropped and neither will her and Lee split.

You post a lot more on Popjustice in Marina's thread than you do here.

 

I'M WATCHING YOU BOIII.

That was probably her way of shading you back! :lol:

Joe ain't loyal!

Marina actually has something coming out though. You know what I'm like when one of my favs has an upcoming flop.

 

Though I'd say A Christmas album was possibly recorded but couldn't be funded after the flop of GH. They sold one of the songs onto that film.
