Would TIBB benefit from a name change?
 

Excuse me if this has come up before.

bearing in mind that the Big Brother format is in its death throws would TIBB benefit from a name change to a more generic forum based name?

Perhaps you have thought of one?

It has one ' UK TV Forums'


And should we Not wait to see if a
Another Channel takes the Endemol Deal.

search that in google and you get Digital Spy!

no, the format is dead.

Maybe the forum will switch over to the X Factor site when BB finishes?

X Factor is to short.


We do not know that Big Brother under Endemol on
a New Format , New Channel is gone for good.

Yeah:)
i think maybe This is X factor "TTXf" should be the name.
but it just doesn't have same ring to it like TiBB does:(

It'll go from bad to terrible if another channel picked it up anyway since it'd end up being a sattelite which means it'd end up being cheap and tacky.....I mean even more cheap and tacky.

If the name does change it'll still probably always be Tibb to the regulars.

Yeh it will always be TiBB to me now tbh

Should just stay as TiBB, or something general. Shouldn't switch to another show because within time it'd have to change again and it's never good for a business (which, in theory, a forum is).

The Wicked And Trendy forum?

TWATF? I don't get it. (:hugesmile:)

I reckon we can all wait a good half a year or so before we begin to worry about it.

I think everyone who knows anyway knows that the best time on this forum is off season, so even if it remained a 'Big Brother' forum forever that would suit me just fine.

i am just thinking about expansion and new blood. "Big Brother" is now a damaged and unappealing brand.

We will be fine for another year, trust me. Big Brother ratings go down every year yet this forum still get's busier every year. Big Brother may be going down the pan, but kids gaining internet access aint'.

I asked Mark about this a while ago and he said no. He gets a lot of traffic from this domain and also it fits into most things from george orwell's 1984 "big brother is watching... etc" if that makes ANY sense at all, lol

This is Telly.

TIT.

We have a winner!

Perhaps we can give the forum a weekly name change. Hell on the search engines, but whatever.

Each week the forum gets named after a different member!

lol

It just needs a name change to survive NOT a format change. Just generalise the title to appeal to new people visting the site.

If it changes name when BB11 ends I swear to god Im sure I wont be the only member who wont look twice at this site for turning its back on Big Brother.

BB11 is not the last series as you will see when BB12 is on another channel in a few years.

All those idiots saying it should be an X Factor forum..WTF?
X Factor is ****, if anything it should be an IAC forum but thats a **** idea too.

It should stay BB no matter who hates Big Brother, if you hate BB IMO you should leave this site.


Im glad James and Mark arent ******* and wont actually change the name of this site to somthing stupid like X Factor.




Rant over :)

yeah the last BB was ace. sophie was a great winner. c4 did a great job with the website.


:sleep:

(and quit the ****** thing)

Think of it like this,

When BB11 Ends I know for a fact that within 2 months of BB11 ending, alot of members on here would demand a Change in Domain Name.


You`ll get the half of TiBBers who want the change of name and the cool half that DONT.


If by some chance Mark decided to change the name:



1) Alot of members wouldnt go online

2) If anything the site would loose New Members

3) This site will stay with its new domain name for about a year, and then BB12 will be announced to be aired on another channel during 2012 and then members will be asking for TiBB back.

It should stay as "This is Big Brother"

Because...

BBUK is NOT they only Big Brother programme in the world.

There are lots of others which still air..

Including BB USA (and Patrick I don't care what you think, ok)

It came 1 week before BB UK and has had 12 seasons.

Pretty popular in the USA.

BB11USA had fantastic ratings, better than BB9USA BB10USA both in 2008.

So yeah.

TiBB should stay as the name.
