When I first joined I had little idea what to expect,I had read a lot of the comments before joining so knew there lot's of disagreements,being a Student,I am used to that as we all disagree a lot of the time.

I joined in the main for BB11 but was surprised that I didn't get any real abuse or nasty comments to myself,(had plenty since though). I have to say that one member 'Jedward fever' welcomed me in the first few days I was on here, he and I agreed on lot's of issues,not just BB so it was good to develop a strong supportive base with a member so quickly.I have never forgot or will forget his friendliness and kindness in those first few weeks or right up to the present.

Then other members got supportive and I agreed with lot's they said to so I would have to say my first impressions were really good.

In the main,I found the Mods supportive and helpful too and apart from an error and misunderstanding not long after I joined I haven't had any major issues with anyone. I prefer to deal with abuse to me myself, largely by avoidance but saying my piece,however like someone said above, I do feel for new members who make an introduction thread and then get loads of negative or even insulting comments thrown at them.

Overall though,I see tibb as a family,we all won't agree a lot of the time but when we do we are unbeatable,I said on a thread a good while ago now that I saw tibb as like a family but there were times you wished you were out when some of the family came visiting.
I do try to like everyone though and prefer to see the positive in people than anything negative.
