hya everyone im just writing this to ask kindly if im allowed to do quiz,s only whenever I put one on chat and games i always get told that its already on the forum but sometimes i do check and they dont seem to be there but the thing thats annoying me is why is it only me that has to stop doing a quiz and magic shoes can put alot of games and quizs on here i would love to know more about this thanks

[Sam!]

Of course you can!!

[officialleafan]

Yes!

[Ann]

yes but the prblem i have is when i want to put a quiz on i do look through the past threads and the game isnt on there but when i start a quiz i then find out that its already on the forum the help i need is mainly what shall i do if i cant find the quiz i want to do and when it has to stop because some one has found that thread on the forum its confusing me on what to do

[Sam!]

Well what do you want to do?

[Lauren]

Use this: http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...?action=search

Then type in some of the words from the title of the quiz and search if it's already existed. If it hasn't then post it.

[Ruth*Star]

Also i think you have to ask james if you can do it.

I think thats just with TiBB gameshowy type things?

[Ann]

yes thank you Lauren for explaining all of that and I will start looking into that link youve left me to look at too cheers friend and ruth*star its just for the quick quizs like DT does often thanks for that you are all kind people

I can't see the problem with you starting a quiz even if it's been done before. It's up to the admins and mods if they think that your quiz should be allowed to go ahead and not members

But what's the point in having two identical/similar quizzes?

If the no duplicate threads rule applies in the Big Brother forums then it should apply in all the other forums too...

I can see where your coming from Ann, but a forum this size and age most quiz's have been done, unless they are gameshow's which sometimes have to be agreed with Admin and mods as to whether they can go ahead.

Things like word association, counting games, story games and last person to post etc have been done already and as such there isnt a need to open up a new thread

There are 38 pages of chat and games so odds are that you will only rarely find a game that hasnt been done already

[Ann]

thank you very much for that kiz i will keep all that in mind i love how you have explain to me about that thanks friend for being very understanding and i will do as you said too cheers

Couldn't places like Chat and Games and General Chat be cleared out so that it's easier to browse and would bring along some new games etc, or even be put into an archive.

[Ann]

that is a very good point there Matthew very well said too

[Callum]

Definitley. Your entitled to do post whatever you want on here Ann, even if it's been done before, there's really no harm in making another, unless it's the exact same which I find pointless. But I think you have every right to post them Ann.

[Ann]

thank you callum for that very nicely pointed out too dear friend

But who's to say what should stay and what should go? If a thread has been made originally then surely it should be used??

I dont really know what the best opinion is really

Why should the mods delete perfectly legitimate threads so they can be replaced with exactly the same thing?

I did put in that post OR archive them.

[Ruth*Star]

The Archive idea isn't a bad idea because, it would preserve the threads which older members participated in and they'd be nice to read that's my opinion.

It wouldn't be exacly the same thing. People would adapt the games and they would be different.

[Captain.Remy]

Ann, there is no problem about doing quizs, unless a one like yours has been made.

And what if people wanted to stick to the tried-and-tested?
