Hiya,

First of all, thanks to everyone who has messaged either myself or some of the other Admin asking if there is anything you can do to help out TiBB over BB7. The good news is, yes there are a few things!

- Firstly, we are currently fine with admin and moderators. I know there are a few people who have enquired, but we seem to be coping at the moment. If the forum gets overrun by hundreds of new people and the mod team can't keep up, then we may see about appointing someone new.

- Front page news articles. On the frontpage of TiBB (yes there is one!) http://www.thisisbigbrother.com you can see in the centre colomn is latest news. Either these are news articles from newspapers or releases from Channel4. If anyone is interested in helping out either a) finding articles or b) being creative and writing your own (maybe a weekly summary for instance), give me a shout via U2U. I set up the colomns on the frontpage to be worked through the forum. There is a hidden forum which I would give you access too, and to place something on the frontpage, all you do is create a new thread in the forum and it automatically updates it to the main page.

- ThisisBigBrother myspace. Myspace is all the craze at the moment, so it seems fitting that TiBB gets itself a page. I created an account /thisisbigbrother but it is currently contentless and has no friends. If anyone wants to take charge and add some stuff, and try and get loads of friends (people who have listed as liking Big Brother in their profiles) then give me a shout, and I'll give you the password.
edit: Lance has offered to take charge! Thanks

- Video and TV capturing. At the moment James does all the screenshots for the gallery, and records video. If anyone has a capture card, and wants to help out - give me a U2U.

- The best way you can help TiBB is by getting people to know about the site, so spread the word! It's really appreciated, and it will help us grow as a community.

That's all for now. If I think of anything else, I'll be sure to add it to the list. Once again, many thanks to everyone who has offered to help
