Tibb has changed but you know what, it's still fun. There's plenty of members that make valid points and that statement you made Axiom put me right off your point. I don't think there's any such thing as cliques on this forum, people just like talking to certain people more then others it's not a crime. Although you made some fair points you've presented them badly. TIBB's become harsher but a large part of that is due to it being onseason. Tibb's much better offseason.

Not trying to argue with you or anything but that point about people taking tibb too seriously is a bit of an oxymoron considering you've started up a thread of this nature. :joker:

Just enjoy tibb for what it is.

Hope you aint ignored me bbe ...
I talk crap, intellectual crap, Intelligence and obsanities in a descrete manner

dean that post was EXCELLENT. summed everything up compleetely and I totally agree [/arselick]

No I am still interested in what you have to say... for now.

It has changed so much, but that's life, nothing ever stays the same :sad: Noob's will come and go. They will realise how silly they've acted; thinking tibb is life and they have to keep a tight bond with 12 other members and no one else. I enjoyed 2007 the most on here which was the shitty-est big brother, but the community was fantastic (Minus the conflict near the end) I always wanted to come back here again. Now, I'm just not bothered :blush:

wait 3 days :P

Hahaha! Yeah I remember. Those were the days Rice-square. You liked Chanelle a lot LOL! And I liked Charley!:laugh:
Its still cool though, if you ignore the odd drama!

A good way to put it is, that the Forum hasn't changed, it's Evolved!

I used to have TiBB anytime I had my computer on but now I just come on now and then when I look for something in my bookmarks.

This place used to be the best but now its just "Meh".

God. I can't believe I actually liked her so much :blush2:

Yeah they just don't make members like they did way way way way back in 2007..


What do the members of 2003 think about this? Maybe they all left in 2007.

Hahaha! I am a bit embarassed about being a Charley fan as well!:blush:
But, roll on another series right?

Exactly, let the battle begin :xyxwave:

:thumbs:

Bang On Right JD.


It is all up to the Mods to get it Right.

I completely agree with you (for once, knowing our little conflits we've had before).
TIBB was much better in 2006/07 and I'm not afraid to say it. The forum was less conflictual and more debating focussed.
But forums change and we can't help that I believe and right now, it's not the worst we got, there have been bad bad times.

The forum is also much better off-season even though TIBB is Big brother axed, because we get to know the members a lot more, the majority of the newbies/insiders/trolls leave it so it seems we get the best of the new members every year once BB is finished.

About the cliques, well, like in life, people tend to get along better with other people than others, nothing bad about it. I can see where the problem about them is coming from and why it could make new members feel uncomfortable, but at the end of the day, we'll always have arguments and little groups.

What I am saying, is that we should enjoy as it is and stop moaning about it, or try to improve it, but complaining will never get things done unless you do something about it.

Regarding the 'forum cleaning', I feel like I am listening to a certain Hitler but I will keep my mouth shut on that. Mods can't 'clean' the forums, otherwise, half of the community would be banned right now because we have all argued at least once or telling people insults.

You've been there for about a year. You don't have the experience to say such things when obviously, TIBB was almost the same one year ago.
I've been there for 3 years and I can tell (as long with other members who've been there in a long time) that TIBB has changed: some parts for the better and some for the worst. :thumbs:

It's went through various changes since I joined.

Forums are like that. Members leave all the time and new members join, then things shuffle around.

There are people on here who I wouldn't have given the time of day a few months ago, and now I enjoy chatting with them. Sometimes you have to look beyond the facade to see the person behind it and then decide if you like them or not.

As for the playground antics... I'm responsible for a lot of that, so I won't sit here and criticise anyone else for it.

True, Zee I apologise for that statement.

Although the issue with the new members not sticking around is perhapsdue to one or two reasons. One reason I believe this is so, is because after a new member logs in and posts very amateurly, people say "****ing post in the right section" and really start criticising them, when they've only been on the forum for perhaps a day. Also, if a new member comes online and posts, some of them receive the old classic "omidayz yew must bee a secund account ov anuvva memba dat used 2 b ere" which is unfair. Fair enough if there is stand out evidence that that member is a second account of another, banned member, but if not, just let them join in. That is the way of making members stay.

This is exactly why some people, IMO, need to take a break from this forum to relieve their addiction to it because it really does seem that some of the members are obsessed with this forum, and talk more to friends whom they've met on here.

I meant the people who are obsessed with this place, namely people who, for example, joined in 2008 or 2009 and already have 5000+ or 10000+ posts and clearly have problems. The fact that I stood up and wanted to change this place is not taking it too seriously, I've just been finding it annoying for a while, like a wasp that keeps coming back after you thought you'd killed it. Surely if you found something annoying for a while, wouldn't you try and stop whatever it was no matter how small or insignificant?

For the record, I just want this place to change. I don't give a **** if it doesn't. I was expressing my views, and if my or others' opinions don't get taken into account, then I couldn't care less to be honest. So don't compare me to a Nazi dictator.

This Clean Up
is being done as two New Mods were added
one Very Young , as well.

The Brotherhood
I call the Slobs
as I do not like their Attitude.

But that is what makes this Site like no other.
Soon Big Brother starts
and then this site changes again.

You have to get on board this Express Train
and hope posters like Lauren , get time
to post more.


Life In The City.

Or devolved.

I agree with the consensus. 2007 was epic. 90% of the established userbase were interesting, varied and hillarious. And it showed in the topics and posts. Now the forum feels really narrow. Unless your not wetting your pants everytime an eyeflash comes on screen, and unless your not an avid worshiper of celebrity culture, theirs very little you can do and a very small base you would feel compelled to talk to off the forum.

I think Damon hit the nail on the head with the 'disposable' business too.

Stu
you still take this Forum way to Serious
I think.


You can not go back years and ask folks
to return.

Times are hard
due to this New Labour Depression.

Big Brother is the great Escape.

I feel like i want to post something, but have no real view.

I just think we need to all roll with the majority of the forum for the next few months

Good for you to express your opinions but the 'forum cleaning' reminds of certain things. For the rest, I have nothing to say, you're free to think what you want to. That's all.

I will Never Roll
with those Brotherhood Slobs.

You're part of another group and we don't take it seriously as you do. We're not the ones who come to your thread to insult you, that's what you are doing.
So don't blame us for something you are clearly doing, in this thread or in the Brotherhood thread.



Take Your Umbrella Out Of Your A$$.

Liking a previous year better equates to taking the forum too seriously?

I am a Sub Contract Member of that better group.

The Brotherhood
are deluded.

You have to admit Stu.. the boy has some style with his posting though. I bet you laughed at it. Even if you don't agree with his point.

I think that's a rather wide generalization. I take the games and competitions as a bit of fun, but I go out and I have a boyfriend etc.
You can't just generalize like that

If you have a problem with the moderators, message us. I try really hard actually and it really annoys me that no one can notice what work me, Ben and the others do behind the scenes. I don't see any problem with my authority. If we went further with it we'd be called oppressive and less people would visit TiBB. If someone breaks the rules but not enough to incur a ban, mods have our own system which we go through. No posts are ignored and the more rules broken which are logged the person is more likely to incur a ban

I always laugh at his posts. He is our very own Keanu Reeves with a humor chip installed :laugh2:.

Stu it seems you spend more time complaining about this forum than joining in.

Mmmm Shaun!


:laugh2:

Both of the new mods are 'very young'.

I think it's a good thing though, because TiBB members cover a wide age-range, so it makes sense to reflect that in the staff. There are already members of staff in the older age-range, so adding some for the younger age-range balances things out.

And, to be fair, Sia and Ben are actually doing quite a good job of moderating without letting it change who they are on here.

Chewy makes sense, but Chewy how on earth can you stop people being friends?

Actualy, if you took a less biased slant on it, im appreciating the forum. But for the time I enjoyed it most. People tend to do that. Talk of sweeping generalisations, you just made one. One simple look back at yesterdays posts I made shows a whole load of general posts ... with maybe one or two posts complaining.

I should have just found your post and written ditto :P
