Oh my god I so remember this, good times! :love:

You reckon? Given that 4 out of the 11 are staff! You talking 7 members out of 631 active members.

I can't believe this thread was made like over a year ago, I was so new! :blush2: :love:

I was in troll mode back then :D

You were nice to me though, I haven't forgotten. :hugesmile: :worship:
:love:

Yeah I remember that :love:

I am online, I wave and say hello, I leave :joker:

D:

:-)

It is if you want grown up conversations,but there seems to be plenty of kids who just want to play and be silly,it's got very boring of late,it's no wonder people are drifting off,I miss the people I can have good conversations with,I'm still here hoping they will post more.

when something falls out of place, i take my time, i put it back, i touch myself til im on track

Yes sometimes I want to join in and am very interested in the topic, but it can get so far off topic sometimes its a bit difficult to comment and bring it back so I dont always bother.

Exactly,so many good posters don't post often now,I mean who really wants to see threads with one word or icon all the way down it,the art of conversation is not alive and well on here at the moment,it's a shame as there are some nice people on here.

maybe I'm just really dumb (which is probable) but I don't even understand the icons or replies half the time so I feel as though I'm butting into a private conversation and even if I do post its just ignored (oh sorry thats just me then) - post ignored - another thread dies because of Rhino

I've seen this forum die slowly for ages now. It used to be alot of fun to come on here and have debates and there was always plenty to do. It just seems that people come on here now to cause arguements or chat about irrelevant things.

I only joined last year and didn't stay on after BB so dont know how quiet it usually gets this time of year. I like the XFactor gossip yeah, but wish the more serious and general chat topice would get going a bit more. The great thing about debate is that you can have such diverse views yet its not a personal thing at all and I hate the way some posters start to get quite insulting because you dont agree with them. After all there is no right or wrong - only opinions

absolutely!

I suppose though, the people who are complaining about the lack of interesting conversations etc will have to be a bit pro-active and start some threads to try and kick start things!

Yeah. The trouble is alot of the time on here (and I used to be the same) you can get really friendly with someone and as soon as you disagree on something you take that as a personal insult when infact it's a matter of opinions.
It's great to grow friendships from the site and I have made alot of good friends from here, there are loads of genuine nice people that do visit this site, but you do need that distance sometimes and just learn not to take things so seriously. I suppose I am talking from experience and people will learn with age.

Yes, the serious debate section seems to be lacking, you all should start a deep theological or something

I understand what you're saying but (and I know this will be unpopular to say) sometimes it feels that most of the posters left are kind of in their own little clique and trying to join a thread and being ignored is bad enough. I know that sounds whingy and lame even as I type it. I don't mind being totally disagreed with but its hard to maintain enthusiasm when it sometimes feels people are more interested in private conversations and obviously know each other really well too, which is cool and great and everything but I am a sensitive soul and feel like the geek nobody wants to play with sometime - there I said it - phew

aaawwwww:hug: I'm sorry you feel that way and I hope I wasn't ever guilty of making you feel like that?

I've embarrassed myself and now feel like a complete saddo - ignore my posting today am just feeling a bit down and its not to do with anyone on TIBB

Don't be silly! I hope everything is alright

thanks I posted a poem on the creative writing forum today and it made me think of things I try not to think about. You know how sometimes when you remember sad times its hard to shake those feeling off again. Its like time hasn't moved at all
