Though only a few days ago, even MB thought about launching a 'Rumour Thread', which to me would be a better idea to keep all these rumours and speculation separate and keeping this thread to what it is titled about... things that are Coming Soon to VM..

But don't give the 'if you don't like it, don't read it line as it's pathetic...

Also in regard to your last comment, well perhaps people either don't want to post, preferring to lurk till some actual news is posted that is confirmed.
In my opinion it's the same little clique who make up the majority of posts in this thread, and to newbies or infrequent posters this can be off putting.
Also many of us read the thread but don't comment, and when we do it's for a valid reason and not just posting to increase their post count.

Anyway, that's my opinion on it.

Fully agree, this thread has always been full of rumours and news, and has always worked well, splitting the rumours off onto their own thread wouldn't work, it would quickly fade away

Of course this thread is useful for those looking for cold hard facts:

Alternatively Media Boys blog is great if you want to see a clear break down of confirmed and rumoured events:

The first page of this thread does state:

"Keep up-to-date on the latest news on upcoming channel launches and other important events across all platforms of Virgin TV network."

So what does news mean:

Informal information not previously known

A person or thing considered interesting enough to be reported

This has never been the 100% confirmed thread.

Honestly I'm not trying to chew anyone out here, or be a smart ass, the thread is what it is and is unlikely to change. It's this sites mainstay in terms of views and posts however it does seem to have a Marmite effect :)

Yes there is the changelog thread but it's not used for discussing what's coming soon to VM. It's more of a list of changes, but no discussion about the posts made.

Also the blog is a good resource but again it's not used for discussing and is more of a website giving information to readers.



Yes it's a choice to read the thread or not, what am calling pathetic is people who come out with that as a reply on a forum for discussing what's in the thread title.

I read the thread (obviously) but at no point have said I don't like it, what is dumb is coming to assumptions about people or what they do with their time.

I've already said what I read the thread for, perhaps you should try reading posts before bashing away on your keyboard totally missing the point :rolleyes:
