This bares nothing on Matt but I genuinely couldn't care less if it went ahead or didn't

On tumblr if you make a password protected tumblr you can invite people to be 'Members' and then make them admins of the blog! Perfect for y'all! It's pretty damn cool!

But they caused as much trouble as possible in the weeks leading up to it. When you opt out of something you should stay out of it.

Bring forth the Razzies :worship:

Being it back plz x

Yesssssssssss gotta get me some razzies.

+1

I reckon I could do better in the odds department of winning something here.:blush:
I am for it as long as it is all in fun.

The people have spoken

If this place is democratic then the Razzie's will happen, if it's a dictatorship then they won't.

Thank you for the support :love:

I'd be more than happy to do the Razzies on here with the opt-out list, and the subforum suggested by some. If they go ahead off-forum... well lets just say they'll be no holds barred ;)

Yes & it should just go ahead on tibb whilst James is offline

*Cough* social group *cough*

Damn winter colds.

I'm for the Razzies being held no matter where it's held. Count me in.

And Shaun, your comments directed at me have hurt my feelings so much I doubt I'll be the same again. :sad:
only joking : )

I hope they go ahead, it's all for fun and it's the only way I'll ever have a chance of winning anything on here :)

The figures speak for themselves it seems.

Matt, join the offsite place and I'll make you admin in case you have to run it over there..

*sighs and rolls eyes at the inevitable trolls*

this is why we can't have nice things

Lily is there a way of limiting the forum to just registered users?

^ just get everyone to verify who they are by PM'ing Lily/Matt or whoever on here, make it a private forum and then ban anyone who doesn't identify themselves/has opted-out/is against the awards

There won't be any aggro that way

oh good the username Josy is not taken

Stop sniping... Let's ask James exactly why it was scrapped shall we?
If he agrees with your version of events I will apologise for every comment made on the last razzie thread.... Where is that btw?

It was scrapped because the thread was hounded by members who opted out. Sniping as Dezzy has said, every 5 minutes to show their disapproval. The hassle that caused the drama last time is the reason James has 'cancelled' it.

Bring it on.

Disagree. I've seen James post in the past on the subject of the Razzies and state that some very nasty comments have been made as part of this 'fun'.

I also note Matt's previous post in this thread to the effect that if the Razzies happen offsite it'll be no holds barred.

Yeah great let's have a repeat of the burn blog woop woop.

What an absolutely irresponsible and daft idea. It's just looking for trouble.

Have a pop at me as much as you like for being a killjoy. I've witnessed how much distress the Razzies comments have caused people in the past in the name of fun. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I'm going to add some admin approval on membership. Use your TiBB username when joining over there, and PM me here to say you've joined please.

I'm going to delete any user who can't be identified, so if you registered with a trollname, you'll have to re-register with a real one. :)

It's all just harmless banter really and people shouldn't take life too seriously, it's the internet, I remember when I practically got called a munter one year :hmph:

ew I just used the word banter -goes and downs bleach-

Banter is a good word to describe the Razzies though.. I don't think they're nasty, just very tongue in cheek.

It's ok if you're currently in favour and running with the pack, for those who for whatever reason find themselves on the periphery it can feel very different.
There have been some whopping lies told in this thread, and as there is no way to check unless James takes it upon himself to get involved again and repost last years razzies then I guess that's how it is.
It's very disrespectful to harangue James as he's made his point clear, have the razzies offsite why some are so desperate to throw shade I don't know though.

Kizzy :worship:

Yea... i'm out

If I have a problem with something somebody on here says or does I would rather tell them directly, rather than bitch about them amongst a gaggling group of gossips 'with immunity' on a closed forum, to be honest.

Also, if the owner of this domain says no you cant do it on here then surely there is a very good reason for that, and he would basically be stating that he wants nothing to do with it... which if I were him would cause an issue when the 'standby board' that has been created uses the name this forum is widely referred to as, i.e. 'TIBB Razzies'

Thirdly, considering the people raising objections over this bitchfest, it cant be a good thing.

Lastly, for the people who don't want to take part and are a little concerned about people talking about them, remember these things:

Words can only hurt you if you let them & How people treat you is their Karma, how you react, is yours.

Well maybe if some of the venom were aimed at you then you'd feel differently

Perfectly said

From what I can remember, there hasn't been an issue with The Razzies since last year. You made a stink about it last year when you were in self destruct mode, knowing you could possibly be nominated for everything. You opted out, fair enough.
The Razzies are a tradition on TiBB, has been for years. I don't think it's fair they should be cancelled because 4/5 people disagree with them.
You can twist the Razzies anyway you like, the fact is they ARE harmless, they ARENT designed to be vicious.

I'll continue to 'make a stink about it' as I wish thank you. It's my opinion and it will never change. I've actually stated it for the previous 2 years ceremonies, again this year and if it's attempted again I'll object again. I'm entitled to express my opinion - it's a forum.

I know they aren't designed to be vicious Glenn, you don't need to put it in capital letters for me, however there are always unacceptable things get said in them that go against normal tibb rules. I find it hard to understand that people don't get that simple fact.

And to reiterate, to do it offsite and use the name of tibb is really not appropriate, I doubt James will be happy about that. On your own heads be it.

Remember how disgusted you were by the recent offensive blog cos doing this offsite is inviting a re run of that. The host has already stated it'll be no holds barred. It'll be sick.

I give up.

Here's what confuses me - if I don't like anything that's on my TV screen then I'll switch over, so why people can't just opt out and let others get on with things is absurd. I've opted out of all future versions of this, and I won't be signing up to the offsite website to watch or comment (so if anyone signs up as me - ban them).

I actually think that if everyone who has opted out, just stays away from it, then trust the people taking part to not throw s**t your way, then I'm 99% sure, that you'll have a fun, and a fm self-policed version of it, which means James will probably be more likely to reconsider next time it comes around.

Personally, I think this having to happen offsite is a bad sign for TIBB in general, and I hope James reconsiders, but I bet he wishes he'd shrunk his own inbox to 400 messages right about now!

This is what frustrates me. If you want no part of it, stay away.

Fair enough post, but that's not how it would be.

1 it's already touted as no holds barred? How can any Mod who takes part condone that when it's a forum break. Saying it's offsite isn't a get out because it's a Tibb event!

2 trust people not to say bad stuff!! You're having a giraffe surely.

If its so innocent and nobody that doesnt want to take part is ever mentioned, then why is the 'standby' forum a locked board that you have to be permitted access to?

Yeah, and we won't get savaged at all will we now :whistle:
