Advantages: Blah , I don't care if he doesn't phone me now

Disadvantages: My bloke is a grumpy pig, Poopoo

The Duke started this one off by saying: Not really a challenge, although more of helping hand for Dooyoo to understand the members and hopefully, in return, a chance of a better understanding of Dooyoo for us. This is how it works:

You write an open letter to Dooyoo giving them your feedback on the site as well as any suggestions you may have for taking the site forward addressing any concerns you might have etc. The important thing is the feedback, so include as much or as little as you feel is appropriate to yourself. Don't worry if someone has mentioned a point that you want to raise ? it's also important that Dooyoo see how many people have praise, concerns or suggestions about aspects of the site.

Then you do three things: first, you post your "opinion" on Dooyoo (the category is listed below) and include some blurb in it which I'll post below. Second (and this is the important bit) you email your opinion off to Dooyoo directly via the dooyooteam@dooyoo.co.uk address so that they can read it. Third, if (and the 'if' must be stressed here) or when you get a reply, then you post their reply onto the end of your letter thus giving a complete picture of your suggestions and concerns and how Dooyoo views them. Obviously, the blurb bit is important as people don't like you quoting their emails, so if a certain piece of text is included in the opinion, then they'll know what people's intentions are.

Paste this little bit at the end of your 'letter': "This has been sent as part of the Dooyoo Members' Feedback Initiative. The content is intended to provide constructive criticism for taking the site forward from the member's point of view, and has been posted to the site as an opinion. Your reply, if any is received, will be posted into the end of the opinion giving members a better idea of the Dooyoo and the site."

Dear Dooyoo,

I am in a bad mood. I am sorry but I am. it may have something to do with the fact that my latest beau was a grumpy pig last night or it may be something to do with the fact that your website is going to the dogs.

I have actually been a member on and off for some four years now and yes I did defect to the other side for some time ie Ciao but y'know what the only reason I am here is because you will let me write.

I am certainly not here for the pages that take ages to load. I don't have the quickest of connections to the old www. but should it really take me twelve hours to read three days worth of opinions? I may sound like a freak here but I actually want to read all the new opinions I can and quite frankly I have not been so put off since I experienced my ex boyfriend's idea of foreplay.

If you look at my profile dear dooyoo, you will see that I am actually trying to utilse this site as a way of raising money in honour of my deceased godson, I shan't go into details here, but again I am finding this as much use as a chocolate teapot.

You see there is actually very few members who read. I wonder why this could be ? Is it because the site is being flooded by churners who really don't give a rat's bottom about the quality of stuff they are writing? Do you know what I don't really know who to have a go at about this one I mean if you don't have the category for them and they just shove it any old how it really isn't their fault .... Again I am reminded of my ex's foreplay and I don't really want you to become an ex Dooyoo.

And while I am on the subject of new members can I just say I don't think you support them enough? And that I am sick of leaving comments that make me sound like a pious , school teach


er with an anal retention problem ... because to be honest it is YOU who should be pointing new members in the right direction! What about an award for most notable newbie? Could your pockets stretch to that ?

And while I am at it and you have my blood up and I have your attention....

Why can't you have up to date categories? Why can't you have reviews for actual films that are in the cinema now? That would be VH.... we may be able to make an informed consumer decision then or don't you want that ?Oh dear I am starting to think that I am just going to be left with unanswered questions, I haven't had so many questions since Twin Peaks so I must (a) care about the site or (b) still be drunk from last night.

The categories you do have a poop. I am sorry but I actually call this site ''Poopoo'' at the moment... I mean the pictures you have are cack. I do actually have a large vocabulary Dooyoo but let's cut to the chase here why in the name of arse is there a picture of a can of soup in totally unrelated products? I am starting to think that you have done a secret deal with Heinz.

And don't get me started on the fact that the capital letters are willy nilly. Why should a member as lovely as he is sort that out for you? It really seems like you don't give a fig about the site. I will not use CC's capital letter fix it. It is my god given right to have capital letters, You have lost a lot of very good writers over this small thing Dooyoo but it seems that all you care about is quantity not quality. I know at the end of the day this Dooyoo stuff is a business but you are to business what Kate Moss is to weight watchers.

WE matter. WE the writers are the people who keep this site going and YOU should care a little bit more, Hell you should care a lot more. I have been spending a lot of time on this site of late , to try and make a difference for Thomas and I have actuall
y found my
self wanting to be a member of this community... but if this was a real flesh and blood community we would all be living in a hovel because this site is a hovel compared to how it could be.

I suggest that you take all the points raised in this initiative into consideration and stop relying on the same old names and the same old faces and actually realise that if you don't do something people will just stop dooyooing or the opinions will become more and more cack until the consumer aspect is totally gone.... But I am starting to think you don't care about that anyhow.

Jo
