View Full Version : If TiBB had to close for some reason...

Where would you (yourself) go? Would you sign up at another forum? Would you open a Facebook group? Would you just get off the internet altogether... would you try to get your peeps to go with you if you find a place to migrate?
I've done the migration thing a few times, but I usually don't stick with the new spot... another forum I had been a member of closed after 17-18 years of service... it had a great community and was run really well for that length of time, but everyone went to different places, and so that community effectively split up and more people went to social media (eww)... I don't think when we grow attached to a frequent rest stop, that it is so easily replaced by another ... even when it shares almost the same aesthetic, practices... It is hard to recreate that same eclectic atmosphere after the original breaks up... unfortunately.

Stay in touch with the members I get on with but probably wouldn't find another forum, TiBB is the only one I've really used apart from DS.
I kind of don't "do" forums, TiBB just kind of sucked me in from when I watched Big Brother.

You're not wrong. I haven't watched it since I quit during Timebomb. :worry:

Yeah this tbh. I read subreddits for shows I follow but don't really get involved much. I have a few here on Facebook already and I'd try to keep in touch with others somehow.

Yeah, id pretty much just slip back into obscurity. I have a couple of people on FB and a couple of people's email addresses but I don't really do FB, tend to just use messenger so I think if there was no more TiBB my online presence would just cease :laugh:

Probably just going on social media more lol.
BBUS would get kinda boring without the discussions though so idk maybe I'd look for another BB related forum :think: OR just become a much more casual viewer again and find another hobby/show.

I hate the designs and accessibility if literally every other forum I've come across so I definitely wouldn't find a new one.

I have pretty much swapped my tibb addiction for a mumsnet one anyway tbh so it wouldn't make THAT much difference to me. I have a select few tibb members on my facebook who I would probably keep in touch with but besides that..it would not bother me that much. A couple of years back I would have been utterly devastated, but a mix between enjoying posting regularly somewhere where I can just be myself compeltely and take whatever punishment is warranted in exchange for telling someone they are an utter cock (and yes, I have had one short ban on MN, along with some deletions :laugh: ), discovering that MN is definitely NOT just a place for mothers to discuss pushchairs and is more a general interest chat forum than anything else (with more drama than here sometimes, believe it or not) and growing ever weary of rehashing the same arguments over and over here and so many threads starting off promising but descending into the same old crap..along with my dwindling interest in BB and TV in general...have made it possible for me to not totally sink with this ship should the time come :tongue:

I'd maybe try to find somewhere eventually but it's increasingly difficult. I like forums that are anonymous, small enough that it isn't just a lot of "random people" and you get to know the member base... but that aren't SO small that you can't get good active threads going. TiBB is my 4th "forum home". My first I was on for 8+ years, it eventually closed down, a lot of the core membership moved to a forum set up by a member for a while, until he basically went a bit... nuts, to put it mildly, and everyone sort of went their separate ways.
Then I was on another slightly larger forum for about 4 years. I met my wife on there. We both got permanently banned :joker:
Couple of years after that we ran our own forum for three years, at it's peak it was roughly the same size that TiBB is now... then things turned sort of nasty with some members and we decided it just wasn't emotionally worth it and closed down. A lot of the original members moved to a Facebook group. That's still active and my wife is still on it several years down the line, but I left it after a couple of months.
Then this place.
I'm like The Littlest Hobo! I've never been an active member of more than one forum at a time, but when my times up I keep on movin' on :laugh2:.

Did we? When was this?
I have been on there for maybe 3 years now, joined thinking it was actually a parenting advice forum (I think I might have gotten it confused with 'netmums' which is a very fluffy and 'omg you ok hun x' type place rather than '**** off to the far side of **** then **** off some more you utter bellend'). Posted on the 'am I being unreasonable' section for..advice and got my arse handed to me. Which was...oddly addictive. Glutton for punishment I guess, but yeah, some of the stuff on there is so ****ing entertaining :laugh:

I'm terrible at keeping in touch with people who I don't see personally on a regular basis and I kinda value my privacy too much to be involved in any post-TiBB social media stuff so realistically if the forum ever ended that would be that. My activity on here has gradually declined as time has gone on as well so I can't see myself ever getting really into another forum, this place is a one off :hee:

05-06-2018, 09:16 PM
Same as Marsh, I don't really do forums other than regular use of the Soaps forum over on DS... until I joined TiBB and found a much nicer group of Soaps fanatics. I think I'd miss pretty much everybody on here, and if a few were to migrate then there is no saying I wouldn't join the party. But I do feel as though I'm distancing myself from this place a bit, becoming more of an outsider looking in rather than a contributor. But that's because lately I just don't have anything interesting to say/add, apart from posting the odd joker here and there.

Such a hard and sad question to answer Maru... :worry:
I would probably start getting active on the Britney Spears forum, get a Reddit account and post on the r/bigbrother sub.
I would get the e-mail addresses of some members that I was close to so that we could keep in touch, but fade into obscurity from the rest.
I hope it doesn’t reach this point though, if BB does end, I hope this site stays, maybe we could discuss other shows idk...

I know what you mean, Ashley. I think my post length maybe deceives to some people about my activity level, because I certainly have stepped back some. I think BB not being on certainly helps, but even that is a chore sometimes to keep up with... but I just know for me when it feels forced, it's better to step back... but a couple of people keep me here, also sometimes do pull me back from bystander-ness... so that helps too.

I had to go into a cubicle straight after RileyH had been in there the other day and the only way I could describe it is that it looked like there had been a heavy shower and the local Speedway club had had a meet in there. Disgusting Filth.
Also someone has written on the wall "Marsh suks cocks for votes" and if I am not mistaken it looked like the cultered handwriting of none other than resident author Rob Innes :oh:
I dont think Jeff Bezos would be happy if he found that out, just sayin.
