Why did you join the forum?
 

and why did you stick around for off season? Inspired by Zees post in the revealing your gender thread. In response to that, I don't think I was lacking anything when I joined TiBB. The reason I did join initially was because only one of my friends watched Big Brother and I was dying to be discussing it all the time (so I suppose I was lacking r/l Big Brother fans)

I chose to stay around afterwards because TiBB was my first forum and I found it addictive. There was nothing missing from my life but as a parent, I was in alot anyway

I wanted to discuss Big Brother 12, and I couldn't be bothered with the constant negativity and cynicism of the DS forums any more.

Stayed around after finding I was in Most Loved, and started posting in the non-Big Brother forums from then on.

I joined when I was 13 I think, I had just got a new computer in my room and I was looking on any website I could and as it was while BB9 was on I found this forum and have stayed ever since :hugesmile:

but I dont really use it for BB, I use it more for the music/TV section

Good question, I joined tibb in the main for BB 2010, however once I started finding my way round the forum and got to chat to some members,even the ones I had problems with,very few,thankfully.
I found it was a good vehicle for me to still be able to converse and be in a peaceful setting away from everyone else, my own time, my own space.

I can watch TV, do work for Uni while on the forum too,listen to music or just be posting on the forum with nothing else on in the background,especially once I realised there were so many other subjects to post about too.

I then got friendly with some members, some of whom I do hope to meet sometime after I am finished with UNi and then some people come to matter more, it's like I have joined a community and it's a good feeling.

I personally realised how into the forum and its members I had got when I was taken aback and upset after losing Kerry,it showed we do form bonds with people on here and that is a really good and nice thing too.
Ukturtle going too is sad for me as well.

So I guess the reason I stick around is for that, my own time,my own space scenario I said before but also for the other members because there are now so many I love to see what they think of this or that as to a topic.

Another good question Niamh,as near all are from you.

Wanted to discuss BB, so googled big brother forums and looked for one of the less busy ones (well not less busy, but not the larger ones like DS and the official one cause they look more crowded)

During the last celeb BB, needed someone to rant about denise with as the rest of my idiot family liked her....

Was looking for pictures of Steph from BB9 I think then came across the TiBB Gallery, had a look at the forum then signed up just to see who everyone liked an stuff. Probably wouldn't have stuck around but ended up trolling because everyone hated Mario, then towards the end started posting more seriously.

Can't remember how I stayed around off season, can remember for the first few weeks I thought the Big Brother 9 page was the only bit of the forum and didn't know any of the others existed

Because in the Summer of '08 I just lurked on here and seen all the BB9 Threads and was on here constantly but didn't have the balls to throw myself into the forum and join it.

So then in May the following year I just decided to join for BB10 Discussion, stuck around because half way through BB10 I made alot of good mates out of TiBB.

I was the same, I didn't discover them till months after I joined

Have to say part of me is dreading BB, the forum will be full of die hard fans and there won't be much room for other topics....:(

It's gone so quiet lately though, I'm kind of looking forward to the buzz

At least the silly bickering in the off topic sections dies down a bit..but the BB section becomes alive with loads of annoying stans

On season >

Silly bickering...I'm sure you mean lively debate and thought provoking threads? :hugesmile:...Who is stan?...

no she means silly bickering.

lol

a Stan is a die hard fan of something.........taken from the Eminem song "Stan"

Stan = term for a fan/ obsessed fan

Well I never actually joined to post strangely enough :laugh: I was lurking around here for a few months before I signed up because of all the BB10 news/hype and stuff, the forum was really busy back then and sometimes it'd crash and only registered members could access it, so I just thought I'd sign up to carry on reading the threads. I didn't even make my first post until like July.

And what made me stay for off-season...well after BB I saw how it was like this whole exciting community on here so I thought I'd stick around and try joining in with it. And here I am today :tongue:

I remember being obsessed with Big Brother in 2006 when BB7 was on and BB was still must-see TV, a lot of family and friends watched it too but I wanted to find a place online to discuss it more and find out all the latest news and rumors so I found this forum, think I must have searched "Big brother forum" on Google or something. It looked very different back then and I joined with the typical embarrassing BB related username. I know I was involved in a lot of forum games when I first joined where I became friendly with a lot of members so that's why I stuck around.

i joined beacuse i have a great connection with bb i have watched from the begining but i also have had some great times deep in the audition process.

I have watched from the beginning too sheriff, didn't know you auditioned, which one for?

a few:joker:

Was excited for Big Brother 8, funny cause that was when I started to dislike Big Brother lol, then just stuck around :3

I joined during the build-up to BB11 and posted a lot during that time. I kinda stuck around for the first few weeks of the series but I got bored of talking about it and stopped posting.

Then I came back on in September of that year, and saw some thread Patrick made about having a fight or something in C&G and I've been posting on the rest go the forum ever since pretty much.
