I have a total different take on this entire fiasco. By not discussing the episode morning is going to loose the buzz, the hype and active forum members. We have already lost many of them during Goa track. Most of the viewers and I mean most are not from India and different time zones. All take time to be present in morning , other times are not always appropriate as either we work or study or busy with our lives. Our evenings are Indias night time so the forum will loose its zenith. And most of them who are abroad does not have Star Plus and all watch on hot star or online which has nothing to do with TRP. And to watch on tele its odd time not everyone are usually free at the time it airs. Anupama and Ghum also come on hot star same time as ours but they are leaders in Trp that itself should make us face reality. Our serial caters to different set of viewers and unfortunately there are not too many of us. Unless and until we have more viewers to watch on tele nothing will change. You make vms or give live updates it wont matter as viewers who watch on tele are less. Promos from SP matters so yes we can mail them , make our voices heard. We cannot stop anyone who is posting the episodes online. There are dedicated websites who upload after an hour after hot star, do you think SP is not aware of them sites.. ?. Other shows are uploaded too but still are trp leaders.
So no need to be so negative and enjoy till it lasts.
I feel that the time slot is such that it's difficult to attract viewers but i do believe that most of our discussions happen on TT which does affect the show and you are right that our show caters to entirely different set of audience but i do remember that there was a time that the fandom was not so huge and nobody use to upload clips and caps with dialogues and the show's trps increased to 1.3 after the riots sequence because there was an element of suspense.
There are many people who stalk the HT silently in the morning not everybody is as loyal as we are most of them see saakk as an option why would they watch something whose each and every update has been doing rounds since 6 am in the morning.
Ghum and anupama being the slot leader and having great trps is also because of the prime time slot.
show like MHRW and YHC doesnt have an online discussion MHRW FD stopped discussing about the show in the morning and did affect their trps even Barrister babu as one of the fan from the forum confirmed that they did stop detailed discussions in the morning and did affect the trps in a positive way.
Bakiyo ka chhodo i ll give my example there are days when i dont want to watch after reading the discussion on TT and even forum they might not make a significant affect on trps but they can influence the viewership which will ultimately affect the trps.
The thing is discuss the episode in such a way that it doesn't gives out major spoilers and be neutral giving a take on an episode can influence the audience.
I guess MF Pe discuss nahi kar k like before EDT pe karte hai normal discussion not dialogue to dialogue wala discussion which we all do so that it increases the curiosity of silent readers as well. Jab itne papad bel liye to ye bhi kar k dekh lete hai na.
