What can be done to save Tibb?

[Kate!]

Seeing as Alfs thread has been closed and we were left with his question.....Where do we go from here?.....I hope this thread is acceptable as a positive discussion please guys of how Tibb can be saved?

What are your thoughts and opinions? Does Tibb need saving even? Or is it on a slippery slope? What would you do?

I think a increase in staff would help.

Early xmas names.

Just be nice to each other....respect the fact that we all have different opinions and people have reasons for their opinions whether you agree with them or not. Stop labelling people and name calling and sometimes just politely agree to disagree.
People should be able to express their opinions on people as often as they like and whenever they like.
This Forum was created to discuss human behaviour in The Big Brother House...there will always be people we enjoy discussing whether you like them or dislike them...

Infact, dont ban any smileys..

I have hardly used them, and I do think it has effected or affected the way some posts have come across.

But today, I've just found out I can just type D then :, rather than having to hunt it on my mobile.


Tibb is now perfect for me, or will be once I learn the buttons for all smileys.

I think that forums are a dying breed when it comes to discussion platforms & how people choose to stay connected

The "instant messaging" style of .... other .... sites is much more appealing than having to try and find the relevant section/thread to post your thoughts in.

I don't actually know a single forum that is thriving rn. Maybe it's just becoming an outdated concept.

[Toy Soldier]

Realistically? Lobby the telly channels / streaming platforms to revive Big Brother and hope that it takes off with the public, and that in turn attracts new blood to the site.

With no changed to the current member base, nothing can be done to save it. Too entrenched, the place is at a complete stalemate.

Genuinely not trying to start yet another argument rustic but reading this ... you surely can't genuinely believe that this is what's on offer in the threada bout H&M/Royalty in general? I'd love for there to be an actual good faith, unbiased debate about those issues but I've given up hope of that ever happening on this site.

But then everyone got used to it and cabin fever started to set in and everyone ended up worse than usual :umm2:.

+1 right here.

And I only stayed after BB ended because I was asked to.

I do a 5 minute routine every morning, check facebook, check paddy power, check bank, catch bus.

Check ToncewasBB on the bus, then pop back every now and through the day to relieve the boredom.

I wouldn't say it needs saving. It is what it is now
it's a different place to what it was there are still great moments on here the fact that so many people have gone hasn't helped though. If big brother was to make a return I reckon this place could once again thrive with a lot of old and new members joining. But as for reality TV even love island isn't a huge topic on here. Strictly seems to be discussed though which is good. So the main focus has been serious debates and thats gonna cause division obviously

A good post and the sort of answer I was hoping for from the OP. I hope the place can once again thrive and attract new and old members back. Its a real shame how numbers have dwindled.

[Mystic Mock]

We need to maybe rebrand as a general Reality TV Forum.

Or add other sections of the Forum to get different types of members to be interested such as a Comic Book/Manga Forum, or an Anime Forum or a Science Forum dedicated to people interested in what current Scientific research is happening.

The only way this site will very maybe redeem itself is if BB actually came back. It will never be the same as it was, nothing ever is. Like other people have said it’s not just TiBB that is ****, forums in general aren’t what they used to be.

Quite like this idea, might go even further and have a combined film, music and games forum and I'm not sure there needs to be separate forums for community chat and chat and games

Yeah I was thinking at this point you could easily combine non-reality TV, movies, and games into one subforum as these days they’re actually all a very similar form of media, lines are much more blurred than they used to be e.g. the MCU now thoroughly spans cinematic movies and streaming TV, big game releases are much more heavily narrative-driven than they used to be, etc.

Maybe music too although I think it could still be separate, it’s closer to “reality” than “fiction” in a way. Maybe music & celeb news could work.

interesting idea this one, and like this you could also keep the subforums for Reality Television but bringing that one more forward, highlighted


my only addition to this would be a separate news section, for mainly celebrity news, from sites like TMZ, E!


and as for Movies/Film, maybe a section of its own since we got all different sort of stuff for that like upcoming film news, premiere events (since those are going to happen again), award show events, and a place for appreciation threads for some of the more popular hollywood actors would be nice either

[_Seth]

It seems like most people agree there should be a rebrand and a forum index simplification. The subforums galore are just not attractive through the eyes of potential new members.

So I wonder what is gonna happen, because Mark (user #1) hasn't been on since 2018. The forum will either fade out of activity, servers will stop, or it will resurge with a potential return for BB. I think the rebrand and reorganisation would be a great last ditch effort to revitalise instead of seeing TiBB go out with a whimper, and if BB does return it would still be an appropriate place for it's discussion under a "This is Reality" brand.

If they ever simply stop paying for servers and let the .com expire I'd snap it up and slap my vB license on it (I still have a rather old vBulletin 4 license from many years ago... TiBB is still running vB3 which is ANCIENT) and it would just be one single forum with zero moderation (other than for legal/liability concerns).

There's plenty of reality TV to discuss these days.
Of course, I'm always hoping Big Brother could come back.
But if not, we have a lot to watch.

[Josy]

Sadly it seems to be much quieter on forums all over the Internet as a whole it's not something exclusive to TiBB imo.

People seem to prefer social media platforms these days than discussion forums similar to people preferring Instagram stories now rather than read blogs etc although if BB was still around we would obviously still have busier seasons rather than a constant off season, I'm not sure if a domain name change from ThisIsBigBrother is something that would help bring in new members if I'm honest.

There's also this (silly if you ask me) trend online nowadays that if someone disagrees with an opinion, has quite strong opinions or just goes against the grain in general they are automatically accused of being insulting and they are labelled with childish names, which just kills any discussion straight out, that sort of thing has affected a lot of discussion forums too I think, there is never going to be a time when everyone agrees on everything, discussion forums wouldn't be a thing if they did.

Personally the bottom paragraph of your post is the reason why I prefer Forums to Social Media platforms in general (although I do like YouTube if that counts) because I find that on Social Media you can just hide in little groups that end up becoming echo chambers. Where as on Forums you can definitely read different opinions to my own which I find fascinating personally (apart from the Rashford bashing for helping feed kids) because obviously a natural Human response would be to commend Rashford rather than condemn him for it.

But personally I appreciate members like LT & Alf on the Forum because I don't agree with them on a lot of things politically, but I appreciate hearing a different perspective to my own.

Also I really appreciated the debate about The Cookout from BBUSA that me and Ashley had recently, because again you can't really get that level of discussion going on Social Media imo because most people like to hide in their own Political groups where everyone agrees with their mindset, which yes it's nice to have people agree with you, but it'd be a boring Internet if everyone agrees with you.

Some good ideas here. I've changed some forum names, and made the BB sub-forum titles tidier.

I have thought about a new forum system but the trouble is I wrote a whole article system which links into the current forum that wouldn't work if we changed... Not that the article system is used much - that's why I suggested a while ago that it could be used to publish articles like movie and music reviews but there was no takers.

I do still want to make a new forum theme that is better for small screens.

I do still want to make a new forum theme that is better for small screens.


One of the main reasons to update to vBulletin 5 is that it has extensive native small screen support, but I appreciate that vBulletin isn’t exactly cheap. I had extensive vB 4 experience and still have a license gathering dust but to be honest built-in mobile compatibility wasn’t much better on that than 3. One of my proudest web dev achievements was my custom small screen vb4 skin :joker:. And yet one of my greatest failures. I tried for months to get a PM notification icon working. I had a “private messages” icon at the top and I wanted it to turn yellow when the user had a new PM but I never got it to work :bawling:… it would change the first time they got a new PM after swapping to that skin, but then it wouldn’t change back after they had read it and would just be stuck as yellow ever after :fist:. It still bugs me. Must have been image cache related but I never figured it out. Haunts me.

No idea why my comment was deleted when it was a genuine thought but ok

Same, another reason why the site is failing, people aren’t allowed opinions that criticise higher powers :shrug:

It’s not a thread about blaming admin it’s about making suggestions to make the forum a better place for everyone

That’s why posts have been removed

And tbf there's plenty of comments aimed at us that gets posted, funny thing is it's not us that are in threads daily insulting and arguing with other members which is what many of you are guilty of and its majorly off putting to others but keep shifting that blame instead of actually adding anything constructive at the same time as constantly criticising.

Like when a really annoying character joins in the middle of a series and takes over as the main character and everyone hates it. Maybe I’m her.

You're Carmel Kazemi being a regular after R&R (Marsh and Scott) have been drowned (banned).

Here I have crafted a visual representation of what happened to Tibb (seen here as a Silo tower) after your victory and then running on to today's date

I reported a post yesterday for blatant homophobia and it’s still there even after said member made an equally homophobic thread from said post which was deleted.

To be honest the post and following thread was against the rules.

Like I said if it's the post I'm thinking of it's gone now.
