It's the only place you can post anything without being told to stop going off topic. :smug:

There is no topic! :amazed:

But I go off topic in basically every thread :think:... WAIT I forgot, I'm in the mod clique so I'm allowed. Yas.

I agree. It would be like calling out individual threads for not appealing to everyone.

Some discussions some will want to join in with, and then others will join in at another point when a different line of conversation has started.

Some even get all maverick and start conversations themselves. :amazed:

To me, it's a bit like someone making a thread moaning about the state or tone of the whole forum. I think the general response to them would be to make threads and get involved if you don't like it.

To paraphrase Trainspotting - Life is what you make it. :hee:

*makes thread exposing this with polaroids of TS meeting Niamh round the back of the bins to buy off his infractions*

Literally me

...do I ever feel like I don't fit into the 'TiBB Crowd'...?...yeah all of the time...all of the time in that I don't consider myself a naturally 'forum person'/whatever one of those is but that's the thing with the forum though...I haven't felt I had to 'fit in' and I never wanted to 'fit in'...it's really more about finding your own places and spaces and people to chat with and connect with and etc, etc, etc...and there is so much opportunity to do that on a forum like this because there isn't 'a TiBB crowd'...I think maybe some of us who first come to TiBB for the BB season posting, think of the off seasoners as 'the crowd'...?...but that 'crowd' is made up of so many blends of interests/personalities/topics of conversations and all of that jazz..../there really is something here for everyone, Sue..I promise you.../ we just have to take time to explore the full forum and all of the little sections, to find the places we're most interested in spending time in...and I hope you take time to do that.../welcome to the forum btw..:love:..

Tbh yesterday there was a post which mentioned cliques and literally said "Josy agrees with us" like Taylor Swift waving a banner with her review from Rolling Stone magazine. :joker:

And this is coming from the most popular member of the forum.

:clap1:

Nice to see you posting again.

i'm sorry but i love chatting with quite a lot of members on here, but yes RileyHollyoaks and Lilbro are so funny :hee: and Oliver is so cute, and he's got some good jokes :hee:

Queen Ammi has spoken, close the thread :love:

how fake this sweet behaviour coming from you, didn't know you were close friends with Ammi :fan:

Nicky is starting a ruckus.

let's have our discussion over pm, please Marsh :(

...I think what might be quite good for newer members who do want to just pop into a chat thread to talk about their day or whatever with other chatters..?..is a stickied link to the chat threads because I'm not sure that they would know there are 3 chat threads.../I know the main one would have to be updated as a new thread is made, which is quite frequent but maybe that update could be done also..and maybe any other threads that are useful to know as well..?..but there's also the Lounge and Pablo's chat thread.../that's the thing also...with having 3 and slightly different conversation topics going on../usually something for most people to be able to join in with....

i agree

Ashley how can it be clear who im referring to? That comment wasnt made with any particular member in mind the fact is some members do get ignored on the odd occasion they post in the chat threads, ive not only witnessed this happen but other members have said its happened to them...

None of us are enforcing this thread, we arent going to put a stop to people having an opinion just because dome of those opinions are negative about the chat threads

Christ if we closed this thread it would be hell on with members saying we dont allow opinions etc about the forum...

I get attacked a hell of a lot in the chat threads for no reason

Rob you yourself admit in this post that you were basically ignored when you first started posting in the chat threads which completely contradicts you then replying to me saying its not true.

The chat threads can seem very cliquey ( yes i mentioned the word clique after numerous other members had already done in the thread before me) and unwelcoming which you yourself have just proven at the same time as rubbishing those claims.

I also dont get the connection you try to make with some people saying they feel left out on the forum and me telling people to 'piss off' which btw i would never post to anyone that i wasnt friendly with or who never knew how to take my humour because believe or not yes i also have people i get on with and have a laugh with just as the other mods do, we are afterall members of this forum too..

if i attacked you in the chat threads, my apologies, i never ever want to upset you, i want to be friends i swear

And you also attack others a hell of a lot for no reason Adam we arent stupid....

Actually not really only people who spam me.

I'm quite a nice person

I asked you to stop messaging me and almost everyday I get a wall post or pm from you and it's irritating af just accept there will me no friendship and move on

"for no reason" :hehe:

I don't get what you are trying to say
