oh wow, this is over two years old
hmm.
I'd still say arista. Add the following to the list:
- sooty. Just does her own thing and is very kind and loves good music.
- Sticks, for the stories, and the TiBB history.
- James, for the leadership and the improvements to the site, however we may complain about them :p
- Ben, for the games and the efforts put into TiBB as a place where you can do something.
- Marc, for the same reasons and the apparent necessity to talk about poo.
- Kate, for the games also and the continuation of her library :laugh:
- David & Andy. We never talk really and there was awkward history and 'wars' and so on but their dynamic is so crucial to TiBB it'd be weird without it.
I could go into the chat thread frequenters but there're too many to mention and to be honest I think TiBB wouldn't die without one or two of them.
But I'd lastly say that although they don't frequent TiBB any longer (or at least not as much as they used to) - Zee, LemonJam, Dezzy, lily., Jen, Matt, Rory, MarkWaldorf and MrGaryy - even Hugo - were a huge part of my adolescence and it's this that made me ultra-sad that MSN died... we hardly talk as a group any more, and it's sad, because we used to spend hours every day, for the best part of three years, chatting crap about music, TiBB, films, awards shows, our lives, and we had all these little rituals and 'Zeta' songs and memes and in-jokes... they're essentially real friends to me, and I can't imagine I'd have stayed on TiBB long without them. I of course still keep in touch with them via text, or post, or even meeting them in person on one brave birthday, but there are one or two we've kinda lost touch with.
And that whole mentality of "I've made my friends from this site, I've got no interest in making any others" kinda stuck with me for a while, which is why I'd lastly say Ammi and Livia, because of their wit and presence of the forum, but also because of their wisdom and trust I can call upon if I ever need to PM someone, and for restoring my faith in TiBB.
Now piss off you faily little bitches.
