Well I'm sorry but I don't find it funny. (And I'm known for having a wicked sense of humour!) is it really too much to ask people to stick to the threads and not ruin things for others?

Everyone I've spoken to about it has the intention of reverting back to their username at the end of the week, it's not going to dominate the forum forever and normal discussions are still going on, obviously if you choose not to post then you're not contributing/provoking discussions so it seems as though everything is related to Gavin.

There's something like 30+ members (most of whom are regulars) who are partaking, so it's not a minority thing really considering how few members do post regularly. Things will calm down soon.

Cor' bleedin Almighty! We are a forum full of a few hundred people who discuss a fictional TV show which airs 4 times a week. Let's not pretend we are doing anything serious here. If some find it annoying then that's fine but nobody is forcing you to read the forum and the mere fact that a few admin staff are joining in means that they are perfectly fine with it.

I ain't Gavin about here, it's just a bit of Gavanter.

Bring back the WW forum awards, I've found my nominee for Grumpiest Poster! Incidentally, didn't you complain about the awards too for being offensive? It seems anything with a team spirit, you dislike. 😁

Not at all, but you are being a tad grumpy?

There's not taking part which many members aren't but there's not taking part and complaining too, which is what you're doing. That's grumpy :) Don't be an Eeyore, there are good times ahead, like Friday for example, when Gavin makes his debut.

I get that people are excited by Gavin's arrival (although having seen Paul Nicholas perform in Jekyll & Hyde I'm not holding out much hope as he was dreadful!)... But do we really need every thread to be about Gavin?

All I am asking is that it is restricted to a single thread. You can all have the fun you want without those who aren't interested having to read mindless drivel on threads that bear no relation to anything about Gavin!

.. but then isn't the fun of a vast majority of members being ruined for the sake of a few people?

It's only a few days and then it'll slow down.

Time for DirtyDen's third death.

Enter Gavin with a doggy doorstop.

Just because we are enjoying posting about Gavin at the moment doesn't make us Sheep, as you so nicely put it, I am enjoying having a laugh and not because anyone is forcing me too.

Quoting limited to 2 levels deep
I'm sorry but the mods should be impartial on here, and here in lies a real issue with this whole situation. It has got completely out of hand on numerous threads and the mods have done nothing to suppress it.

They are quick enough to ban members when they provoke a reaction but yet do nothing when the enjoyment of the site is ruined by a silly obsession.
The mods are members of the forum and fans of the show too, why should they not partake in a little bit of fun for? This has been the most enjoyable week of my time on the forum so far, and it's only Tuesday!

I'm not liking some of the vibes in this thread. As has been said, this is just a bit of light-hearted fun. I'd rather each thread have a Gavin reference than have it derailed by petty bickering. I remember a period such as that on this forum, and people would soon complain if we all lost our sense of humour.

DirtyDen, no hard feelings, butI seem to recall you being warned a few times for posting rants about another member in the rant thread, which makes people feel awkward, and now you're moaning about members uniting in a bit of banter and fun? I've never felt this integrated into the forum before, and other members have said the same. Would you rather we post scathing opinions on other members?

if I am to reply to this post then I would probably be banned so I won't say anymore and trust everyone else will do the same.

Off topic, but does anyone know what happened to Debbie Downer from SNL?
You can't just come bounding in here like John Wayne on a Spacehopper!
