Do you enjoy TiBB as much as you used to?

[lily.]

Simple question.. yes or no answer..

In a word - No.

Yeah, me too Aaron. :sad:

[Princess]

No,but the people I talk to on msn from here make up for it BIG TIME.

[~Kizwiz~]

Nope, hense my absence lately

[Billy]

Nope

[Ruth*Star]

I don't know tbh.

[lily.]

I'm afraid to ask why in case the thread gets locked.. so I'll just leave that part of the question out. :wink:

[cepb]

No-one can speak their mind on TiBB.

Heated debates get locked.

[lily.]

Oh, nice new username Carwyn.. :thumbs:

And, thanks for your input.. :pat:

[Magic]

Lets make a protest! We want debates! We want a debate forum!

[Lauren]

No, but yes. (I sound like Lauren from Catherine Tate).

I think it's a lot more argumentative and always teetering on the edge of arguments and accusations. But members are still super-friendly.

[MarkWaldorf]

Not really.

But I do admire the fact that the admins/mods try to make the forum a really good place to be, and that they take time to look after the place.

[~Kizwiz~]

There are various reasons for my lack of input.

Personal reasons being one and the change in the site mainly. It just seems so negative and I aint pointing the blame anywhere, its just how I feel.

This site holds so many memories for me, especially becasue of Red Moon and I but I just cant face it somedays.

No but its not certain people. Im not sure what it is.
I think it was like really amazing last year when I didnt have ANYONE on my MSN and just had fun and messed about and had the odd debate.

But now for me the novelties worn off, but i cant stay away :laugh:
I speak to everyone on MSN, debate with people on MSN

I think all the new members who joined this year will enjoy it loads, then next year they'll feel the same, and so on..

[lily.]

Carwyn: Aye, but I never congratulated you on your username change.. We must celebrate the positive things in TiBB you know.. :wink:

[lily.]

Chris, you could have a point.

Using that theory, I ought to have left last year.. ... ...

Oh well, better late than never.. :tongue:

But if this place wasn't as friendly and welcoming as it is I would have left (for real!) by now :)

[Dan_]

On the whole yes.I like most of the members and the chat in the general section of the forum but I've not really enjoyed posting as much about BB this year, whether it's the standard of debate or just not as much of an interesting series, I'm not sure.

I feel of late the humour has returned to the forum which has not always been there in recent months.Some take stuff too literally.

Ill have to agree with Dan I mean I still enjoy posting in the general chat bit sport, music, tv etc but not so much in the BB bit. I think thats why i like posting most in the post BB bit rather than when BB is on if that makes sense

[nodisharmony]

For me, TIBB is not much different from when I first joined here. Of course, there have been new members arriving and a small amount disappearing, but apart from that, it is business & pleasure as per-usual..

There will be problems which occur from time to time and we can thank a heavily moderated forum for sorting out problems, "as and when they arrive."

Naturally, if any members can pass on information to a mod or admin about grievances they may have with a member or suspicions, etc.. etc.. also about anything else problematic which affects the forum in anyway, it can eventually lead to a problem ending or lessening, depending on, "who it is" & "what it is", of course?

I know that this is the best Big Brother forum in my opinion and no matter what problems happen, the forum and the members and the management continue onward, regardless.

This forum has been here for a long time and for anyone wishing to leave, the door is always open. But, most stay, because they know it is the right thing to do:thumbs:

[LadyMacbeth]

If it is ok to put my tuppence worth in as a newbie I'd say it's a pity I seem to have joined at a time of inter-forum friction/disaffection. The people who have deigned to speak to me have been pleasant enough, but I may not get a chance to see what the others are like at this rate.

[SiMoN!]

tibb hasnt been the same for me since cbb - it not been as fun

but i am hopeing after BB8 it might go bake to the way it was - probs wont - but oh well

Any forum member, new or old has the right to make a comment in any thread within this forum LadyMacbeth, so don't ever concern yourself about asking if it "is okay" to put your tuppence worth in as a newbie. I certainly welcome any honest reply and I am sure that is the same for the majority here.

There is plenty of inter-forum friction/disaffection on this forum.

Very recently, there was arguments over Chanelle on a thread and because passions went too far and arguments broke out, it had to be locked. (Silly stuff really?)

Hostilities which go from something like that, can reproduce on another thread and so on & so on & so on, depending on what & why....?

This thread seems to be quite negative sounding, but we have been here many times at TIBB and this is why talking it out, can sometimes be the best way? (But only sometimes), I might add:rolleyes:

Of course, every forum has problems and each forum has their own way of dealing with it.

Don't be disheartened by anything you see in this thread or other threads, or what anyone may say to you in the form of "Chinese Whispers", etc...

This forum is stronger than you or many other's think and regardless of what some defeatists may say, that this forum is less than it was or more moans & groans about negativity, etc.. it is totally untrue.

Stick with TIBB and in time, this thread will just pass like the wind, but some members will say negative stories and propaganda rubbish about (This forum has changed for the worse) Don't believe that!!!! It is untrue completely:mad:

Certain members do have problems with other members and that can cause problems within the forum at times, but it get's dealt with and that is guaranteed....

I hope your time here LadyMacbeth is a good one:thumbs:

Don't be put off :tongue: We all just love to complain, haha.
Nah but seriously, I think the main reason many of us don't like it "as much" is because the novelty has worn off for us, but for you it's all sparkly new. :laugh:

Nope. I've been here for nearly a year and I don't come on here as often as I used to. I think it's changed for me since I got my warnings and also I prefer the place when BB isn't on. It's easier aswell just to talk to certain people on MSN.

But don't get me wrong, I'm still grateful to all the mods/admin for all the effort they put in to run this place!

[Sunny_01]

most of the time yes

not bad when only 19 people out of the huge membership dont enjoy it as much as they used to.

the answer to that is yes as ive been a member since Jan 2007 and ive grown to love all members on here plus ive made loads aswell and I do adore coming on here and seeing what members write too :kiss:

Nothing has changed since I'm here (february 2006). All the members are great, even if sometimes we have arguments, but it's like in life, different opinions make people angry sometimes. TIBB is the first site I visit the morning, and it's always a pleasure. I enjoy reading it even if I don't post, sometimes I laugh and sometimes I want to defend my opinions. By the way, the members didn't judge me because I'm french and they don't nowadays and I apreciate that a lot, that's why I stay and I enjoy it. TIBB is the only forum where I am registered, it brings everything: Big Brother, games and friends.
Thanks for everything guys, it's always a pleasure to talk with you ! :love:

[James]

Okay...

Won't lock this because we'll just get accused of stopping freedom of speech or something... but I'm going to have my say...

Ah, this is a skewed poll if ever I saw one... it basically just invites people to say 'no'. The site could be only 1% less enjoyable than it used to be and a 'no' response would still be the accurate response.

And what if people want to say it is more enjoyable. And how come all the people that it is aimed at, and will vote no, registered at different times... so when was the 'golden era' then, two years ago, a year ago, 6 months ago, last week?

Or what if they found it more enjoyable last month and less enjoyable the month before etc. etc. etc.

And inevitably over time some people just lose interest, that doesn't mean there is any fault with the forum or the way in which it is run.

The overall effect is to talk down the site to anyone who views it, and I don't like that, not least cause I have put some work into it. All I can say is that I've been on this site for five years and, although nothing stays the same - and the types and numbers of members (and posts made) have changed a lot since the time I joined - I am still enthusiastic.

25 regular members, I dont think that is the case at all, there are regular members that post only in certain areas of the site, doesnt make them any less important.

Great post James, 100% agree with what you say.

If this place is such a terrible place I wonder why so many people keep coming back and enjoying their time here.

The place isn't terrible, nobody's said that. It's still enjoyable, but for me I enjoyed it more when I first joined.

[Captain.Remy]

The problem on this forum is that we can't say our opinions without having some people who jump on you and argue for nothing at all ! I think it's quite sad and disapointing, you can't express your opinion in a nice way ! I hope the situation will be so much better when some members will leave the forum after BB8.

[~Kizwiz~]

I'm the same as sophie, for me, its mainly personal reasons I dont enjoy the site.

But I aint knocking the mods/admin......I live with one and know how hard they all work for the site and how much effort goes into this place..... and maybe that might be a reason that I tend to say away too :sad: but like I said, thats my choice

Well, I think I can't agree more to that. If I stay more than a year it's because it was a free place, the members were in gold, I still enjoy it, it's not the question, but some arguments and some people make me sad and that's why I don't post as much as I did before. But I won't tell any names of course ! :thumbs:

[Mrluvaluva]

If I am honest, I do enjoy it here immensely most of the time. I post the news stories, chat with other members, and try to keep it mostly lighthearted. I have had my off days when certain members have annoyed me, and said some things, but I am sure you are mainly all aware of my feelings in that respect. I am no angel, and I may have upset people in the process. Some I don't care about tbh, but others I do, and for that I am sorry.

I love 99% of the members on here, and dont know what I'd do without the place, but I do feel certain members get away with far too much. But that's just my opinion.

[MarkWaldorf]

Everyone's probably been annoyed by someone at some point, that's life. People will have different views or opinions, and you must respect that. Most people forgive and forget cause they know it's the internet, you can't hold a grudge against someone on the net.

Sometimes some people annoy me, and I feel like logging off for good. Then I realise it's the net, and come back - because why I should be angry at someone I don't know. That's why people who said no, still post in my opinion. If it is certain members that have made people vote 'no'.

I totally agree with you. Some members have sniped at me, and I have sniped at other members, but it all gets forgotten about mainly, and life on the forum goes on. I don't hold grudges generally. If I did, I most probably wouldn't be talking to some members. Lol. I can screw up just as good as the next person, but some members do hold grudges.

I do however think I mainly respect other peoples opinions, and it may be the net, but when you visit here most days, I can see why some members can get fed up with it.

This is just my opinion.

I know that some members are a bit upset with Big Brother 8 at times and have complained about it being boring.

But, they are trying everything they can to spice up the show, Fake-Weeks, Halfway-House + loads more, but it will end soon and then it will be the wait for the next Celebrity Big Brother, (if there is one?)

Things that do occur on this forum can be related to what happens in the Big Brother house. We know how housemates get upset and argue and also be very nice too.

People on TIBB, People on BB8 [not too different really...]

This forum will have it's up's and down's, but for me & many, many other members, it is a daily port-of-call :hello:





nodisharmony :angel:

[James]

Unfortunately, the downside of Big Brother, with the voting housemates out every week and public opinion being so important (which is also its greatest strength), is there is always going to be differences of opinion and arguments on forums. We just have to get by best we can.

I think another thing that has to be pointed out about people losing interest in forums is that, for a lot of people, it is quite a big step to get involved in a forum in the first place - you often have to very interested in what is being discussed before you join. And quite often they don't find the BB series that follows [the one that they were hooked on] to be as good, so they lose interest in the forum as well.

They might still watch the show, and enjoy it, but they don't like it enough now to post about it on an Internet forum. I know that is the case of a lot of members who joined around the same time that I started posting here.

[Nicola]

I come on every day, sometimes I enjoy the site and sometimes I don't. I'm happiest when people get on with me and say nice things about my posts, sometimes even people acknowledging them in a positive way is enough for me to feel good about myself. I don't like it when people are nasty and say things that I may take hard, or if my posts are ignored in favour of someone else's.

[Ann]

very good suggestion too Baz I love what youve written too and I totally agree it is suppost to be a friendly forum and not people falling out its not worth it in the end :laugh:

[Lauren]

I agree with James, I think the reason I don't enjoy(loosely based term, I still LOVE it here) it as much is because my interest in BB has dipped as years have gone by. But as a forum I still love it as much.

[the_chosen_one]

I haven't been on this forum for more than a few months, so I've no way of knowing what it's been like in the past or in it's finest moments, but with the wording of the OP's question, it tends to invite anyone to answer/comment who's been a member since even the most recent times. I think the question would be better directed at a particular group, namely the group who were around when the forum was as enjoyable as when the OP is implying it was, that’s just my opinion.

I agree with this comment...

Originally posted by James

Surely, we are all waiting for our next "most enjoyable spell" of posting?

The option of 'no' is obviously most appealing, and I'm sure there's more who avoid the poll altogether rather than be pressured into a 'yes', regardless of how good the site atmosphere is; that just seems like a logical assumption to me, particularly dealing with a subject so varied as Big Brother. Personally, if I have nothing to say about the show, I rarely log on the forum. That’s nothing to do with how good the forum is, it’s just a case of not having the necessary subject matter with which to write opinions on or interact with other posters. I understand that some members use different, more general, sections of the forum, but this is a site to cater for the Big Brother fanatics, is it not? The show itself must surely play an important role in the mood of the members?

As far as the site is concerned, in my opinion, it’s one of the best layouts around. Everything is very clear and easily accessible, there’s an abundance of features and options so that members may express themselves with personal touches to their profiles and it’s as good a basis as I’ve seen which might encourage a pleasant and peaceful posting community.

I get the feeling from the opening post that the poster has become naturally bored and disappointed with the site and is looking for people to share the sentiment with? If that was the purpose, I must offer my commendation on how it was almost made sure the goal was achieved. If I do find myself in this predicament, disappointed and losing interest in posting, on the chance I might recapture my sense of fun and enjoyment, I’d like to think I could come back and share it with the forum, eventually.

:shocked: Why??!!

[Dan_]

I think it might be just a further seven days, doubt she will be back now anyway, feeling forced out is never a nice feeling :bored:.

[Amy21]

I like TIBB its a great place but I had some issues with some people on here thats made me go away for a bit as I just cant stand being around them. I have come backt hough as I aint being scared away by them. I am here to stay whether they like it or not. And I am going to make TIBB fun again :bigsmile:.

[Princess]

I said no but as James said its only a little bit. I still love TiBB and probaly will for ages but everything always seems better at the start.

Glad your back Amy:thumbs:

TIBB always needs some fun and the right kind of fun especially and you can easily provide it.

It is better to stay here and prove to anyone who thinks that TIBB is less than a great place, that they are wrong.

I hope this time, that you don't run into any problems.

:flower:

I dont think to be honest that this poll or any of its votes relates to preferring a certain time period in particular , I think its reflecting the here and the now , about how some members are simply not liking htings at the moment.

Im not amongst them , but thats the feeling im certianly getting [as evident by the completely unbiased poll with the option to pick a 'yes'].

[Dan_]

Linda told me last night that she didn't wish to come back even after her ban, there's a been a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes and she's just about had enough of having to dismiss certain things that other members have been told about her, behind her back.

[Billy]

Dan_ can you tell her she cant make me her b.f.f and then leave me :(

[Dan_]

I'll try my best to convince to her come back after her bans ends but she seems sick of all this stuff going on at the moment.

[Mrluvaluva]

You'd be hard pushed to Dan.

[Sunny_01]

Linda recieved a ban for continuing to break forum rules after being asked not to, simple as that really :shrug:

[Dr43%er]

No doubt there will be one member gloating via u2u.

I do like Linda, but if she isn't listening to her warnings then that is the only option.

Hope she comes back though.

[sarahtheangel]

aww anyone keeping in contact with her please say she will be missed by me , and i wish her all the best . :hug:

i would hope not. if anyone recives viscious messages about another member i would ask them to forward them to me please.

[Noel]

I only joined last December. (Christmas Day! woohoo!) And then, I only read the threads, and didnt post, then I realised "I should say something!" and i did. Everyone here is really nice, and i dont think anyones been mean to me ever on this forum. I come on here every day, cuz its my first place for BB News and other stuff. I have no complaints about TiBB, excpet for some members who get too hung up on threads in wrong sections and repeat threads and stuff, but thats just a wee small thing. Overall, I love this forum.

[Dr43%er]

Sunny, like they are going to send it to anyone that will report it.

some have been silly enough to do just that!!! saying nowt more :joker:

[Dr43%er]

Oh you tease.

[James]

I don't see why everyone can't just get on, or try to at least. It's only the Internet. :dance:

[Kristen]

I don't really enjoy this forum as much as I used to.
It's a bit like High School. There are really nice people you enjoy spending time with and then there are people you wish would just go away.
Overall there is something that draws people back to here even after intense arguments and the mods/admins always make everyone welcome as do most members.

[Dr43%er]

When someone is a racist bigot I find that hard to ignore.

[andybigbro]

i have always liked it

[Razmataz]

being on here in 2005 was amazing, things were great, but it's not as vibrant as it use to be.

Reason for my lack of appearences is because it's not as fun as it use to be.

[Captain.Remy]

I have a fresh new exemple about what I don't post a much, a member on the BB7 forum says I didn't watch the whole BB7 because I don't think it's more entertaining as BB5, this is just stupid and this member doesn't respect my opinion. So if I can't express my opinion, why I have to post here ? But I stay and I won't let some members like this one win and having the last word.

I am glad you've chose to ignore such members and keep posting here, as you're a good member and asset to the community. :thumbs:

There are some bad apples amongst the members that don't seem to want to accept other peoples opinions, but when you consider how large the community is - that is to be expected. I just hope we don't lose any other brilliant posters to this.

[Captain.Remy]

I won't leave in any way and I hope the others won't, we can't let some members like this one making the law here, it's not fair.
Thanks Lauren for saying I'm a good member, I aprreciate that a lot, by the way you are brilliant too ! I hope people understand why I stay here because some members like Lauren are nice and respect our own opinions, even if Lauren and I have some different opinions she respects mine and I respect hers, a forum works like that !

[Siouxsie]

got to say no on this one

[Chri$]

Nope at first I was adicted but now Im not

but Great place for News!

[ThaGazBoi]

When I first joined back in 2005, I was one of the most active posters, as I'm sure many will agree. I made some great friends (Jamie, Laura, Fizz et all) and it was generally a good laugh.

Recently, However, It's been very argumentive and for some reason- I just haven't felt 'at home' in TiBB. Maybe its because I dont recongise at 80% of the posters who post now, or maybe its a diffrent reason entierelly.

I am having personal life struggles, so that also plays a big part in lack of posting lately.

[cujo-man]

Well considering I've been posting for like 2 weeks now, its pretty much the same! :thumbs:

[Mrluvaluva]

Members who are banned and come back making threats hang like a malevolent odour over the forum. Not intent with spoiling things for themselves, they want to ruin things for everyone else too. I have been here over 8 months now and have seen many good members fall by the wayside. And because of these trolls, I find it very hard to trust new members. If I am honest, posting has become less enjoyable for me in some cases, hence I post much less now.

[~Kizwiz~]

It does get frustrating when banned members cause havock, I dont understand it really. I mean, I've been on here for over 2 years and only got one warning, but for those constant offenders who get a lifetime ban for their warnings why do some feel the desperate need to come back and hide and become a different persona just to be on the site????

I find it rather sad and pathetic really that some put so much effort into concealing their identity??

But it wont drag me away from this place..... nothing much would ever do that it just creates a bad atmosphere that seems to have a knock on effect on the site and I wish that it didnt.

[Mad4Maddie]

Yes, I wonder why banned members have to come back at all. *cough*

I mean, I can see the point in them coming back cuz someone dared them to, or just plainly to have a laugh, or because they happen to be a tad bored - :laugh:

But let's face it people, it's the internet, and at the end of the day, we are font on a screen.

Anyone who takes it more seriously than that really needs their head looked at. Just enjoy the forum and ignore the numpties - that's my NEW philosophy.

However, the "malevolent odour" Barry speaks of (has he swallowed a dictionary today?) might have more to do with the kebab he ate at the weekend than this forum. :tongue:

Just a thought.

[Matt]

*Ignores nodisharmony*

[Mad4Maddie]

Lmao Matty... Look Closer.

[Mrluvaluva]

Right. I shall put it in laymans terms. Has he got such a sad non-existent life that this is his life? The internet? It's all going a bit overboard for me as he is obviously one sandwich short of a picnic.

[Mad4Maddie]

A can short of a six-pack?


You can get banned for insulting him you know. He's somewhat untouchable in some circles.. .. :wink:

[~Kizwiz~]

Hey.... a banned member that doesnt take things seriosuly.....:wink:

[Mad4Maddie]

I know.. shocking!

Tell ya what kizzer.. it'll be a cold day in hell when I take the net seriously. LoL

Why do you think I don't give out muh personal info. Too many nutters ! hahaha!

[~Kizwiz~]

If you don't know me by now... *sings* .. you will never ever ever know me..

(gawd, that song was rubbish!)



edit to add: I think that the person who created this thread actually enjoys TiBB more now than she used to ... :rolleyes:

[Billy]

Lmfao

[Matt]

Haha! Yes she was a feisty one... :P

[Mad4Maddie]

And, don't forget damn good looking as well... *ahem*

[Billy]

haha, Well I enjoy TiBB more now, dunno why i just do :p

[Mad4Maddie]

'mon the KillieBabe.. :wink:

[Matt]

TiBB just got a whole lot more enjoyable!

[Mad4Maddie]

Aye, but it's only temporary you know. After all, "rules are rules" - *straightens tie*

But, yanno what - despite his authoritarian stance, I still love James.. :lovedup:

He's like family. :wink:

[Matt]

Do I detect a hint of sucking up?

[Mad4Maddie]

I don't need to suck up. He can't change anything. What's done is done. And, I accept full responsibility for my past transgressions (sorry, I got a slice of that dictionary Barry was eating).

I just like to come here and have a laugh from time to time. After all, it's been over 2 weeks since I trolled. Come on, ya gotta give me some credit for that!
