Why are loads of people leaving?

[Sam!]

I'm just wondering whats wrong with the place lol. I do admit there are alot of new members but its the run up to Big Brother. Also you can't say your leaving cause others leave as its their choice. Allwell just wondering.

And I aint leaving cause this place is great and funkydory.

So yeh :)

[Xander]

Many members are leaving here because it wasn't what it used to be, and some members are leaving because of others and they don't thinks its as exciting without them.

[Captain.Remy]

I guess you missed the big drama we had 3-4 days ago. Some think there is favouritism, some have been banned and some some are leaving because they need a break.
It's a big complicated story actually but it's so sad so many great members are leaving, really.

[Arneldo]

I would understand leaving a few months back, but right now I think this place is nice and pretty chilled.

Also, I believe there is a great new game starting up soon. Something called "TiBB NTM BB Special", whatever that it :wink:

[Mark]

People come and go, especially with a forum this size.

A lot will return when BB9 stars, don't worry :thumbs:

- Mark

[*mazedsalv**]

Yeah I hope we get lots of more new members before BB9 starts.I love meeting new people on the forum.

[Scarlett.]

I know me too! It kinda makes the place look a bit plain lol. Also, they all seem to incorparate BIG BROTHER into their username so it's really hard to keep track of who's who.

hey chewy,i know,ive missed this place:spin2:

[LovelyL]

i've been away for about a year... just returned really. you'd think i was a new member with only 500 plus posts!! i left ust after the series finished as some of the best members seemed to disappear. it kicked off a lot with all the charley and chanelle stuff going on but i loved here still!!
wonder if anyone remembers me??:shrug:

[Tom4784]

I do! Welcome back.

[LovelyL]

Thanks!! nice to be back, been a while!!

[Dan_]

It doesn't seem the same on here any more for me.The BB9 section is cluttered up with annoying posts that are full of text speech.Regular members leaving or getting banned just makes even less enjoyable.

Completely agree it just seems different and not that good on here now.

[x_mel_x]

I have been on here for about a year and a half and really don't post as much as I used do, although I still come on and read the posts. But I remember a lot of members left a while back and it was just a phase, which seems to be occuring again. I do agree its less exciting but I think thats because of a lot of the posts all being on the same topic ie. Big Brother flashes, whats going to be in the house, predicting housemates and a load of clearly untrue rumours. I also think there is less of a community feel about Tibb, where everyone knows everyone. I would never leave and am hoping the people that post stupid threads will get bored and not become permanent members.

[LovelyL]

is ricesquare still here? or is he going by a different name now?

[LovelyL]

Here here. I couldn't have said it better myself. :thumbs:

[LovelyL]

Ah cassette finger, thanks i know now. there are a few i can remember

[supernoodles!]

its just becuase bb is drawing closer and therefore lots of new people have joined,im sure the majority of new members will clear off after bb is over.BTW has anyone heard from anne lately?

[LovelyL]

i think its a bit tight how people are saying they dont like new members, everyone was a new member at some point

[Legend]

I always think when some people leave or go on breaks "get a grip, it's a forum, stop being so dramatic" but I understand completely now. I've just had a few days off the forum because some members on here think the sun shines out of their arse, they aren't accepting of other people's opinions and like it's already been mentioned, it's all too cliquey and if you challenge one of them, you challenge them all and it's just not as friendly as it was.

I've just noticed though that quite a few were banned/left after I went which was a pleasant surprise, because I think now that certain people are gone, other people will be able to have their opinion without certain people coming along with a sarcastic, apparantly 'witty' comment to try and put them down.

And older members are just as guilty of things that the "new members" are doing too, yet it's not picked on as much with older members, though of course it depends on the member.

Yeah I agree, I like meeting the new members.

[LovelyL]

yeah me too i don't see the problem with having new members, as i say you were all new members at some point and don't think you'd have appreciated people being funny when you just joined...
who knows some "new members" could turn out to be legends, ya never know...
a good member is a good member regardless of their number of posts or length of time on here. people will come and go, get over it

[Legend]

Looking back at my posts from when I first joined, I was a total tool. I used text speak, I posted crap and just generally an 'annoying member'. Not purposely, but just because I was getting used to the forum, I was still 'young' per se so I did talk daft, and I did use text speak. But not once did I get a nasty comment from anybody, or a snotty, sarcastic remark. Members back then weren't so up themselves and they were welcoming to new members.

As for the text speak etc, they left it for the Admin's to tell me, who did it politely, and it soon all changed. And I weren't for put off the forum, but if I got the response and comments new members get now, I'd run a mile.

[LovelyL]

why does anyone care what the older ones think?? or what anyone thinks for that matter!!? i've been here a year but only just started back on ready for the new series:laugh: but even if i was a new member with 10 posts i wouldn't let any older ones intimidate me or try and force me out!!.... no way

[Billy]

No-one tries and forces anyone out? People just get annoyed when they have been here for a while, and everything is good and then people come along with the:
"hyarz ii av jst seen da nuu bb eye innit" for the 23423th time.

Why let yourself get annoyed over something so minimal?

Yet even though so many people get annoyed, they insist on responding to the thread with a not so nice comment. Whereas if they politely pointed them in the right direction to the thread it's already posted in, the forum would be a lot better and more welcoming.

Not everyone is a Big Brother forum pro, or a forum pro for that matter. Some people see the BB eye, search for somewhere to talk about it, and due to their lack of knowledge about forums, they duplicate a thread ... big ****ing wow. Come on, there's more to life then having digs at people who have posted something that's already been posted. Plus, I know for a fact that if Mark [Admin] did it, none of you would say anything remotely like you do to new members. Or older members generally.

Fair enough if they came on and insulted people, but they simply come on and post a thread because they're excited, what part of that warrants a horrible comment from other members?

[LovelyL]

"forces out" might have been a bit farfetched but there is definitely people moaning about new members, i've seen it all over.
people who use that sad 10 year old text talk are annoying but not just newbies

Not really. When there is duplicat threads, trying to find an actual decent one to reply to is a pain in the arse, and most of the people who I've seen make comments are because it happens time and time again from the same ones. I know I U2Ud like 3 of them and asked them politely if they could post without text speech but they stil done it.
And why would Mark post duplicate threads?

[supernoodles!]

sometimes some people take this forum way to seriously.I agree with billy that can be annoying but at the same time this is just a forum its not that important:thumbs:

I find it easy. When I look in the BB9 forum, I only go into threads I want to read. It's obviously in the topic title if it's somebody saying they've seen the eye, so why go in there? Why not just stay away? Or do you enjoy wasting your time when you know that what's in the thread you don't want to read?

And by mistake, without realising it's already been posted. I'm sure if he did then he wouldn't get the response the newbies get.

[Billy]

Tbh if you look at most threads most of them only post a link to where it has already been posted.
And telling them it's already posted could be because it is being discussed in another topic, so the OP knows?

[Legend]

Yeah and I'm not refering to those ones.

[Captain.Remy]

I do agree with Billy on that one. I always said most of the newbies are kinda annoying...and I'm right this time around again. They really need to read the rules then to write properly, not to make duplicate threads (come on it's not that hard to use the Search option) and to be nice with other members.
That doesn't make the forum enjoyable at the moment, it's not comfortable to read

[Dan_]

There are always a fair few good newbies each series, that then turn into regular members in time.One thing I have noticed is there seems to be more this year that just seem intent on causing trouble.

I go into the BB9 section and look through a few threads and just see a load of messy posts and think to myself why even bother.Some just don't want to bother looking through other topics to find things and we end up with several threads on the same thing.

[*mazedsalv**]

I think when i joined I was the same, i cant really remember but i did use caps lock sometimes. But I now realise its really annoying lol

[LovelyL]

Obviously the newbies aren't gonna be as clued up as the older members but give em a break, their bound to make a few mistakes!!! if they keep doing it time and time again fair enough they need to be told but they're bound to make a few mistakes, just tell them politely and let it go. if it annoys you so much just don't look a the thread!!

[*mazedsalv**]

I think the more they spend on here, the less mistakes they will make.
