Same here, It took me 3 months to figure out there were other sections besides the BB one though f/

Same :joker: But the BB section was so busy back then I didn't notice the rest of the forum

I'd probably tell them about all the weddings.

Don't tell them about your obsession with certain crusties on here!
They would run a mile :joker:

I would be unable to tell them about my obsession with "crusties", for one simple reason - I don't know what "crusties" are. If you flesh out the detail, then that would be appreciated.

No... and of course, applicants can bypass the process with cash. I don't mind splitting it with you...

Its much more relaxed than other forums *shakes fist at ds you can interact with the mods (can sometimes be a good thing ) as they regularly post. Its not all about big brother, there is always another reality tv show to post about, and you can pretty much bet that marcus will fall in love with a "big" of't telly that we all thinks is pretty darn ****e.

I completely disagree with your first point. The familiarity of the Mods on here is a major turn off. They have their buddies and pets and hold grudges - from what I've seen. Not good - the DS model of being mods, rather than posters (and not wanting to be all things to all men) is a much saner, safer option. There's also a bit of grandstanding - do we really need to have I AM A MOD writ large under the name of a MOD everytime they post?

Tibbs is a great site, but it's exceptionally, extraordinarily unwelcoming, in my experience. Newcomers are treated with disdain and suspicion and a lot of people, I'd imagine, find the frosty reception doesn't balance the rewards of acceptance.

I was recently remembering your befuddlement the night a gang of us joined MIDS on here :joker: 'Twas funny. You, Livia, Fruitcake and a few more are worth the lurk, every now and then. It's a great site - but the moderation is ****e.

*awaits ban* :whistle:

Sorry, am feeling a bit maudlin. Catch you around the forum xxxx
