Really :nono: Big Blagger

They do rip other sites off. For example there article SHATTERED, they have fixed the time its posted because an email was sent out by BB Press which journos get at 4.50pm, and their time tries to suggest they had it around 50mins before.

I know, what is the point of having it there one minute and taking it down the next.

Does that bar picture really come up in the titles? is it a real room?

It was a pre-roll to a VT, not in the titles. :) It was about 1 second total, probably.

Don't know if they removed the article or if I'm just seeing things, but their original article that they had with the pictures is now gone.

The "secret" page is still up, though

I would take it as a compliment if they gave some credit, but since they don't it makes me angry to see all of their n00b fans saying stuff like "THANX BIG BLAG UR DA BEST" or something really dumb and in text-talk.

The credit was on the secret page...

Ahh...well I guess they put that up just so we could see it, and then take it down, thinking that we were "satisfied"

Big Blagger has to be my least favorite BB site, because I've seen the articles it rips off and how it claims to be "the saviour of Big Brother' (my ass!)

There are tons of better fansites like BBSpy, IBB, BBB, etc. that I wish would get more attention than this sham of a site.

Completely agree!
Just shame on Big Blagger. Disappointed :(

Big Blagger thinks they're the best and so does the webmaster, it sounds to me like he needs to get a life.

What real pisses me off is that they haven't even put TiBB or DS in the links section.

Many of these BB sites are very quiet anyway and it's not very interesting or exciting at all.

If they choose to pinch pictures & info from this site, then it is a sad situation, but if you are looking for an answer for all of this,

I don't think there is one?

I sent them an email and asked nicely if they wouldn't take TiBB members pictures in future without asking/crediting, because it takes time to capture and upload them.

I got a reply this morning:

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your e-mail. I’ve been away for the past couple of days on holiday and leave the site in the hands of my reporters, who also write some of the news articles on the site.

I’ve had a read of the forum post on the site re: my site and spoke to the person responsible for the ‘secret page’. I have decided to remove this page, not only for the fact it uses material from other websites, but the fact is doesn’t contribute much to the visitors.

We have a team of about 4 or 5 reporters who work on the site on a regular basis posting stories. Occasionally when adding more reporters, we do have the few who simply copy and paste from say the official website, or Digital Spy – Most stories on the site, in fact nearly every one is written in our own words and uses our own content.

I apologise on behalf of the member(s), who were responsible for this incident – I think it may be because they haven’t been in charge of the other content before bar the news and have been somewhat overwhelmed.

Kind regards,

Well he had the guts to say sorry
:whistle:

Just think how many pictures get copied from websites and end up on sites like "Photobucket"

Keeping control of that, is similar to keeping control of Youtube. The second Youtube get a complaint about a stolen video, they will remove it.

Then, someone else sticks it back on there, probably from another source, it becomes 2nd hand, 3rd hand, 4th hand & so on & so on & so on....

Bloo*y internet....We can't live without it, :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Even Multi-Billionaire, Bill Gates can't find an answer to that problem....Too much stuff out there.....
