Lydia has banned 1414 users. And that's a conservative estimate.

All of you guys mentioning her a lot makes her more popular online. If she was not anything interesting to talk about, you would not mention her. She still has more forum members on her forum than this one has. And she started her forum in 2005, this one started in 2003.

Because everyone has registered about 25 times, after being banned for typing.

Which is exactly what made me wonder... Where do all these people come from? :? I really don't mind people joining the Tennant-Lowe forum. Like I said several times before: there's a PSB forum for everyone.

I just wonder why 67% of the members never made one single post.

Why only three forums mentioned? There are much more.
And there should be the URLs of each of the other forums mentioned too...

This one.

I joined Lydia's first and then discovered this place soon afterwards. So I guess I'm still a member over there but I haven't looked at it for ages. (I only posted a handful of times, too.)

Different forums suit different people, I guess, but I found this place to be less obviously one person's forum – which I prefer – and it's not over-moderated. I found Lydia's presence a bit over-bearing, responding to almost every post on the site.

The design of this forum is better (simpler), too, as is the name – it looks like a Pet Shop Boys forum and 'Community' is the right thing for a Pet Shop Boys forum to be called, rather than 'This Must Be The Place I Waited Years To Sin' (that's right, isn't it?), which just sounds ... wrong.

All just my opinion, obviously.

I think you mentioned some very good arguments there. I fully agree with your view.

Sure there are two new forums in english, the forementioned Ste's forum,
www.thepetshopboys.info and then mine www.erasure-petshopboys.com

Mine is as simple as any other PSB forum, just separated into three groups.

Thanks pertan and sherry for your kind mentions !.

I agree with a few points .

1. Lydia thinks she can disolve her own jelousy issues by banning those users *me too* , and trying to trash them, sadly she fails on two fronts, Her image afterwards and her reputation. does not seem worth mentioning that forum anymore as any input is wasted.

2. Different forums do suit the mood you are in and how creative the discussion is , thats why this site is more varied in views, in the past people have referenced this site becasue the wider spread of psb support, which is a good thing.

It's probably good to vistit most forums listed in the above posts (mine too u b**gers :P) and get more of a picture of the boys and some news that maybe another site doesn't have .
