Toast 16,144 Posted April 1, 2016 The old biddies at Digital Spy don't like us Good because most of them are cunts. Oh, I don't know, most of them seem to be taking an interest. There's only a couple being po-faced about it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's only a couple being po-faced about it. The Corrie Fan vehemently defending us is me, the rest seem a bit luke-warm about it. (the site that is) There's a fair few naturals in though, that woman who got Denise Robertson deserves a gold medal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,476 Posted April 1, 2016 That's not news. When Clive Dunn turned 90, a few folk mentioned he was a Deathlist favourite, which caused some controversy. Deadpooling is one of the oldest and controversial arts. A certain pre-eminent European academy's members bet money a number of years ago on which of the immortals would be the next to snuff it. I'd guess in comparison this site is fairly friendly in spirit! Also, Corrie_Fan2 is Deathray? Well, I never saw that one coming. Colour me shocked and all that jazz.

Deathray 2,940 Posted April 22, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-36108133 In case anyone's curious as to what BBC link. They seem to share our general assessment on the forums recently, I'm starting to wonder if Nick Serpel is actually a DL user. Ironically I read that article as a way to kill time while I couldn't get on to the site, got half way down and burst into uncontrollable laughter as it suddenly dawned on me why I couldn't get on the site. I wonder if there's a DM article in this once they discover this site "The twisted interneters who predict the deaths of celebrities" Blimey, that BBC link's causing traffic problems this morning. Ah! that's it, of course. I was hoping it wasn't just me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,940 Posted April 22, 2016 Its just a passing phase, it will settle down, eventually. What's this in reference to, if it's celebrity deaths the general consensus is you're wrong. Does anybody with power have access to traffic stats for yesterday and today to see how much a mention from the BBC increases our visitors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its not the first time the forum has been swamped by visitors after a 'significant death' and the forum traffic has settled down after. Celebrity deaths are really what this place thrives on, the fact that we are on a run of them doesn't mean that it will continue in the same vein throughout the year.

Every reliable source says that we are only just hitting the tip of an iceberg of celebrity deaths as the golden generation of famous people reach that age where they start dying. Along with the thousands left from the silver generation before them were in for a DL paradise of a high profile celebrity death a day within the next few years.

Along with the thousands left from the silver generation before them were in for a DL paradise of a high profile celebrity death a day within the next few years. To use that term 'reliable source' is a bit bollocks, isn't it. Its not like there is a whole stream of correspondents out there that have particular knowledge that certain individuals are going to die this year making 2016 a wank fest of celebrity deaths. Bowie, Victoria Wood and Prince, to name just three have died at ages not considered to be particularly vunerable to death by the hand of the Reaper. Id say that this year, so far, has been more unusual than previous years in so much that certain celebrities have died in their prime, they were not viewed as 'old' or vunerable to medical conditions. This golden generation is no more golden than the next. We have a zillion celebrities born in the 1940s, zillions in the 1950s and ditto in the 1960s.
