Do you think TiBB will still be around in the near future?

[Glenn.]

Do you think that TiBB will be around in say, 10-15yrs and do you think you will still use the site?

I'd like to think it will still be here and I can't really see why it shouldn't be, it's just a thought that occurred to me.

[MeMyselfAndI]

I don't think I'll be on this site come 2 years, I'm suprised I've been on almost 4 years, I think when I'm 18 I won't be on TiBB anymore

[Black Dagger]

I doubt it. I think people will have moved on by then.

It's already quiet now. Imagine what it'd be like in a year or two, let alone 10.

[Munchkins]

I definitely wont here
probs wont even be here in a year

[Ramsay]

As long as Big Brother is on, this site will be alive

[Glenn.]

Imagine what it would be like though.

The mods that manage to survive the TiBB Apocalypse will be rattling around in the towers by themselves.

Probably Niamh who'll do her best to bring in new members but with a failing hip that would slow her down.

[InOne]

I get on well with a few on here so as long as they're around I'll be here.

[MTVN]

Depends how long BB stays on for, probably will stop airing within 5 years or so then TiBB will die down over the next few years after that. Don't really know or care as to how long I'll still be here for, see no reason to stop coming on anytime soon

[Jords]

Im rarely on now lol just pop on when Im bored. Will be here whilst BB is still in production in the UK.

[reece(:]

Even if it isn't, I would like to stay in contact with many on here.

I wouldn't class 10-15 years as near future tbh. I hope to have a family and stuff by then, so I doubt I'll have time. I think the time I am on here will probably be bursts of posting interspersed with months off.

This place has helped me through some pretty ****ty times, so I will always be grateful (to a few people in particular), but life will always overtake. I think if it does close down in the next couple of years we should organise a farewell party. Somewhere near the middle of the country would be good.

[joeysteele]

Whatever the future holds no one knows, I had come to really enjoy being on here for a good while.
Whatever happens or whatever I decide,there are a fair few people I would choose to stay in contact with if tibb wasn't here anymore or when I stopped coming on.

[Glenn.]

Imagine TiBB closing down :sad:

[Saph]

I dont even like big brother that much and i've been here for 5 years so I dont see why I wont be in 10 years more :p

I remember before channel 5 bought BB we were all set it on it being shutdown :(

[Munchkins]

Id keep in touch with idk like 10 people maybe more

[bbfan1991]

I get on well with a few on here so as long as they're around I'll be here.

I hope I am one of them?:p

To answer the OP I hope so, it depends how long BB lasts and what is going on in peoples RL's really. I enjoy it on here personally and think even if BB ended on C5 in the future this site could still go on because of the off season chat and if there were more people joining/some returning etc...

[Ramsay]

i was more happy about tibb being alive for a while longer when it got bought than actually watching the tv show lol

[Jack_]

I think it'll die when BB's axed again. I reckon had it not been picked up by Channel 5, around this time (like right now, 2013 - over two years since BB finished on C4) it would've been really dead on here (and no, I mean worse than it is now) and it would've been nearing the end. I'd give it two or three years post-BB axe and then that'd be it, things would just dry up and people would move on.

You also have to take into consideration the future of forums, the internet and the like in ten to fifteen years time. Who knows what they'll be like, if indeed they exist? They might've been replaced by something different.

As for my future on here, as long as Big Brother's still on I don't see why I wouldn't still pop on and post, my off-season activity would probably be limited as I grew older but I'm sure I'd still come on every so often. It all depends on a number of factors; if I still remember to come on, am that bothered, if I know/like the members still left.

[GypsyGoth]

If I was to guess I would that in a few years Tibb will become self-aware and rename itself Skynet.

Of course man, you're cool.

[Smithy]

How is 10 years the near future :suspect:

I don't really think it will, when BB is axed it'll either have to completely rebrand itself or yeah, it'll die

It's pretty much peaked anyway, it's so boring on here now

And I have no idea if the forum will still be here in 10 years, thats a while away.

[Glenn.]

What's your idea of the near future then Smithy?

I'd say 10yrs was near future. It's not that far a way :idc:

[Munchkins]

in 10 years ill be 26
**** no

[King Gizzard]

I'd say near future is 2-3 years

TiBB shall cease to exist in 2021.

[Glenn.]

It's really sad

[james130]

I've been on here a few years now and i'm not one of the most active posters (This is the first time i've stuck around whilst BB isn't on air.)
But I love coming on here every day and seeing what people are talking about and stuff.
I can't see myself sticking around for too much longer because i'm probably too old at 19, but hope it sticks around for at least 5 more years. If not for me, but for some of the other members to perhaps out-grow it.

[Glenn.]

You're never too old for TiBB James. Niamh's doing it.

The last I heard of YWinter was we were going to meet up while I was in Israel... I have family in Haifa and we were going to meet there for coffee but my trip was postponed and he disappeared from the forum. Don't remember him being in London during a terrorist attack. Shocked if he was caught up in something here.

https://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showpost.php?p=9357472&postcount=429

Just had the courage to read about it now as it was too recent for me to deal with the full story and the identity of the victims.
Seeing the face of that lovely Canadian woman who lost her life right in front of my eyes, remembering her fiance helplessly shouting and crying while the medics tried to assist her. It's just heart breaking. I wish I could have said something or comfort him or help him in some way but it was all just so confusing and terrifying that time... I will never forget these sights and screams. Terrible night.

RIP dear Christine Archibald

Yes, right in the middle of my holiday in England, on the southern edge of the bridge. I was lucky enough to experience mostly the aftermath.


…(..I think…)…that he and Jamie89 met up on that visit as well, or maybe it was another visit…he was always so looking forward to coming to the UK…

TiBB has certainly proven a lot of people wrong who thought this site would die out years ago. Even before BB returned it was kept going despite there being no prospect of the show coming back for most of that time

There are a lot of members I miss though. Vast majority of the time they'll have just moved on from the site and other things will have filled their time which is fair enough. Even in real life there's a lot of friends we just drift away from and stop speaking to despite being close for years. I do worry about GG though and that must be really hard for you Ninastar :love:

I think about GypsyGoth every time I check the forum, I hate the way she just disappeared. She was very private so my guess is that something happened that she didn't feel comfortable sharing, maybe a relationship or something family or work related. I've also always had a feeling that she's really from Ireland, the vocabulary and grammar she used were so in tune with hiberno English. I hope she's okay.
