Hi,
Please can someone enlighten me re the difference between the Official and Unofficial Forum - if any.

Thanks

The official forum (http://www.dealornodeal.co.uk/forum/) is created and backed by the shows production company, Endemol UK.

The unofficial forum (http://www.dond.co.uk/forum) is created and backed by the fans.

Yes, Travis has hit the nail on the head. The two sites are totally unrelated (apart from the fact they're both about DoND, obviously!). The only time this site has been publicly acknowledged by Endemol is during my show, when the banker read out posts I'd made on here.

Hi Guys,
Many thanks for your reply. I'm really interested in Deal and now I have spare time, I just didn't know which Forum I should be chatting on..... and why.
So... is the official forum regulated by the Deal show itself, ie at the studios ? Who appoints the moderators and controls the unofficial site? Is it the fans? Is there any difference in say, information, strictness, subjects etc., etc., Does the official site have more fans?

Many thanks for your help. Very kind.

As far as I'm aware, the official forum is managed by the production company staff.

More info about who runs this forum and who the admins/mods are can be found here - memberlist.php?mode=leaders

I must admit I don't know a lot about the official forum, but I think this forum has more regular users and there's more in-depth discussion about each show (including a commentary).

Yeah this place is way better.

Hello again,

Many thanks for the information.

Yes, the full account of each game is tremendous. I've just been having a read through some of them. That must take some time to compose?? Sounds like a job and a half and it's excellent information. Is that job done by the moderator each day?

Someone is very happy about this forum. Thanks for taking the time to tell me . It certainly looks informative.

Cheers.

When they are not available to do it for that day, then someone else steps in to do it.

That's great. Thanks very much. Sounds like a task and a half but well done !
