Hi James

Just wondered if Tibb is in your long term plans. Are we going to keep going for the foreseeable future. I sincerely hope so. I'm only concerned in case it ever ends and we'll have no way to keep in touch with others? Is there any way people who want to do so join a database and give you their mobile numbers, so you could put us all back together somehow? Just a thought.

Regards

Kate.

Nothing like this Forum

No obviously not but we'd need something?

I don't want to lose touch with a lot of people. It just a what if question Arista, don't stress.

Yeah, I will keep it going for the foreseeable future. There is a cost to running it, and it doesn't earn any money back at the moment, but it is manageable.

I have thought about giving people a way to enter an alternative contact method (eg. phone number) for the purposes of logging in if you can't access your account.

Well yes that is a good idea but it doesn't address the issue of how we could all stay in touch if Tibb God forbid was to close?

Also if I could just add James, I for one would be very willing to pay a reasonable subscription fee for the use of the forum, how do others feel about this? It would offset James costs. X

Probably wouldn't be good to have the whole forum with a subscription fee, it might turn people off but maybe James could have a secret section of the forum or something and anyone who paid a sub gained entry?

Yes something like that Niamh. Then it's optional. I'd be prepared to pay a small sub either monthly or annually. The forum would still be free to access for us all the way you have described it x

Yeah I would too

I'll add a poll to the thread, see what the general consensus is?

Look,
I am happy they have my email.

It is not like I am a stranger.

If you think I'm paying for my posts to be deleted you can think again.

No
the whole point of this good forum,
is it is Free.

That's your choice though Parm. Fair enough. It would not be obligatory. We'd all be able to choose whether to subscribe or not.

It would still be free. Its optional. I have explained this.

Surely you could pm people and ask them if they like you enough to add to their Facebook or whatever else is available.:shrug:

I don't like Facebook. Plus it's not as private as Tibb.

Just in case tibb isn’t here anymore.
Not really a big Facebook fan either but it’s handy to keep in touch.

Can people please vote in the poll

When i joined The Wrestling Forum 300 years ago (don't go on there now). You had to pay an entry fee or something. It was £25 for lifetime membership, or £15 a year i think. But there were still free areas of the forum. But like most said, i'd happily contribute in the future if needed to keep the forum going etc

I have Kaz and Smudgies only fans to pay for I'm not spunking more cash to Tibb

:oh:

I would pay to have your posts deleted :hehe:

Imagine the messiness of a TiBB group WhatsApp chat

Not instead of the forum

A safety net ..


Just somewhere we could all keep in touch if this forum collapses as many are … without warning in many cases

I would do a One-Off Payment.


But will Tibb allow that?


I tied on the Guardian
to make a one-off payment
they refused
wanted it every month.


That made me Angry

A one off payment
is bloody better than Nothing


So Die Guardian

Typical Poll
Nothing on a Kind One Off Payment

Please anything but Fakebook !!


I refuse to use that piece of sh1te

Stupid Poll

Says Please Vote

Sure if One Off Payment is added

I will set up a monthly fee for you and do all the work myself, if you want.

2.50 per month..cheap as chips.

That's OK to blank it.


I have many Professional contacts on it
so it is special to me.

Yes I didn't include that option. But it could be added?

Bump for the poll question

I would wonder what Nicky91 would say on there.:laugh:

And just to add, I do think that we all will need an alternative method to stay in touch with each other, because if TIBB ever shuts down, we wouldn't really be able to communicate with each other again.

Have I missed another part of this discussion, other than this thread?

As to the questions asked by the poll, no, I wouldn't pay anything to keep this place going. There are times when I would have gladly contributed, but the forum is a comprehensive lesson in mismanagement.

Failure to address long term issues of bigotry have seen lots of members leave unnecessarily. Lots of those members didn't particularly like me; in some cases I felt that was a shame, in others the feelings were pretty mutual, and some I just really liked. But they brought different perspectives, and created movement. Currently, I can check in every couple of days/weeks/months/whatever, and I know one of the 5 post templates of LT will be spread across the forum (Muslims/black fathers/blacks in general/trans/communist lefties). TIBB expected young people to stick around after BB to read this stream of nonsense. Not hating on LT, either, because just like Aesop's scorpion - it's just his nature, and it's not his fault it's been not only allowed to happen, but actively defended by those with the power of Admin. I actually think LT would be a good dude to anyone that knew him IRL, and I also don't believe he believes half the stuff he posts - it's just for reaction.

I pointed out years ago, that unless this was addressed tibb would end up being little more than a tibb version of MSM for the permanently aggrieved by modernity, and well here we are.

The Sandra Bullock birdbox infraction system would also have to be scrapped, because no one would give £10/month (as an example) to tibb, to then be banned for 2 of those weeks.

There was no need for tibb to be where it is now, and if it is close to going under, then that's because of choices that were purposefully made.

It's just the free market doing it's thang :smug:

[but the forum is a comprehensive lesson in mismanagement.]

Nasty Comment Slim.

Tbh I don't know about paying for TIBB, but I definitely am up for alternative ideas for if the site does shut down one day.

And I get where Slim Reaper is coming from to a point, but tbf to LT I would say that I think that any of us that regularly post on here bare some responsibility for the Forum's decline in popularity, because for some reason or another we're not drawing new people to the site, and have even lost members over time.

Yes controversial Political topics definitely doesn't help, which I feel like a lot of us have contributed to that problem tbf.

And I don't think that we've necessarily managed ourselves very well since BB ended on Channel 5, we've kind of struggled to deal with BB's lack of mainstream popularity.

I still wonder if we should rebrand as a general Reality TV Forum, what do you guys think?

Big Brother is back on ITV

And rebrand
not needed

SLim if you want a forum that doesn't infract you for making constant personal comments
about members, where you can discuss a niche unpopular Marxist view of the world and
that does not discuss the popular news items that all other media news sites are talking
about whey not join this facebook group ?
