Haha thankyou, what a nice coincidence!

Happy 3rd TiBB Birthday Doug :hugesmile:

3 is the magic number ;)

Haha nevermind ey! I'm quite in the background nowadays I think. I'm not really in arguements anymore... :tongue: juggling work, social life and online is hard.

Congrats Dee :)

Yeah you've calmed down loads! Well done,you're all grown up :tongue:

3 is a magic number. Can't believe that is 3 years. Geeeeez!

Thankyou lovelies.

I was always nice to you though, Laura. Ha... if I liked you, I've always been nice. ;)

Lol you have! I remember when some people weren't exactly,say warming to you and I was like 'What the feck has he done wrong?' :laugh:

Nice one Dee. :thumbs:

Mostly an analysis of me when I first joined:
When I first joined there were way more active members during the day, Everyone hated me, I was severely annoying, I didn't know what FTW meant for about 2 months, The forum was all blue, I didn't know how to use BBCode, I didn't know how to make gifs, I go red at the thought of my first thread, I bumped a few threads that were over a year old, I wished I had more stars under my username, I was 16.

Have to agree (didnt realise you joined same month as me! xD) though the forum went through a really bad patch last year, though when summer began, it improved :)

I have to admit Jess you have gotten better since September/October.

Yeah, that's a good point. Obviously I have my complaints, but I still like the site enough to post on it every day.

I don't like these people who come back to make one post telling us of how they have outgrew the forum and how Big Brother now sucks, or something of that nature.

Sums it all up, really.

Almost all the sites problems can be traced back to people taking things too seriously.

To which you may say 'but you always argue, son!'.

To which I say 'yes, but who cares? It's the internet. If I argue with someone on Monday I get on with them come Tuesday. Piss off and stop being such a pussy. Forums are going to have arguments. Get a bucket of popcorn or shag off'.

Also we get maybe 1 decent member per every 10 new arrivals now.

yep, deffo

I personally like change and new people, keeps it fresh, interesting and breaks up the inevitable cliquedoms and in group activity that occurs

Yes.

Going off it day by day..

It has over the three years I've been here.

Yehhh,the newer members are less interesting then the older ones.
Preffered it back then but i still enjoy it

I think what makes TiBB good is that it's constantly changing and there's always someone new who can bring something different to the forum.... since I joined in 2009 I've noticed a massive change in there being reduced amounts of hostility, back then I wouldn't dare post off season because it all appeared a bit out my depth (plus being 13 at the time :joker:). It's weird to see how much the forum changes in just short spaces of time!!

im sure it got better soon as i arrived lol

How did TiBB cope without you, smeagol?!

And me obv :D

I don't think it has

I still want to know who put that in 30stones sig, random
