I personally feel TiBB is the better quality forum. Most members are friendlier, you can have an opinion (most of the time) without being castrated, the mods (especially James, Kaz and Mark) are very friendly and tolerant, and the majority of members on here off season are absolutely amazing people who, once you get to know, are hilarious/intelligent/fantastic members such as Jen, Andyman, Marcjswp, Ross, Shuan, Matt, Pinckmichk, Rory, Lauren and Princess to name a few.

DS is shite, the best thing about it is the Eastenders spoilers

We seem to be quite keen on "X versus Y" threads here. So how about this one :

Which do you think is the better forum for discussing BB and - importantly - why?

I was banned for one week for referring to Noirin as a prostitute.
On return I posted a Counter-Ban. 2 weeks. No posts from me.
They then gave me an 8 week counter-counter-ban which is actually 6 weeks from the time their ban would be up.

It is no contest. DS is all but an unofficial official BB website and C4 all but monitors it, reports on it and it is also full of friends and family of BB HMs.

TiBB is the last remaining foot soldier. One of the last places for free speech and wacky diatribes,
yet,
at the same time keeping most of the total morons from ruining like it was a yahoo chat box.

TiBB pwns DS any day of the week. Purist mods too.

this site is far superior! DS is very late with updates and the forum is very simple............

Thanks guys

Trust me, we do have plans to evolve TiBB into more than just Big Brother, but I'm sure you can appreciate the amount of work it's going to take to overhaul this site. James and I have been discussing some things lately, but the end goal is a lot of work for just 2 people, who lead lives outside of TiBB.

In a perfect world we'd need a web designer, a graphic maker and someone who knows PHP/SQL, to help us achieve the goal of expanding this site. Time will tell

I prefer TiBB as a forum but DS as a site. I like the news site, I think its quite good and has a lot on it. The forum is awful though its too negative for me. Thats just the impression I get from reading, if I posted I'd end up in arguments all the time TiBB is more friendly.

DS:BB is the best
people still get temporary bans but some people do push their luck on ds:bb

the last couple of friday nights ds:bb has crashed for about 45 minutes each time
other than that it's fine

that's true but most of them pretend they are normal forum members though which can lead to some funny exchanges of views

Well first of all a big thanks to Mark and James, who run this site in their limited spare time.

I have looked at DS occasionally and nothing I've seen there makes me want to join.

Should we take this as a job advert?

Sorry but I do not have PHP, but I did do a bit of SQL in my time although I suspect I am rusty.

I kept seeing DS being mentioned and couldn't make out why everyone was talking about the Nintendo console! Then someone called it the DS forum so I Googled it, still have never been on it though!

That other one but can't be bothered registering, I'd need to get the AOL disc.

[Kate!]

i haven't tried any others but i won't be bothering, it's excellent on here,the mods always respond to comments, but allow you to have your say, even if you think differently and don't support who they support, vicky in particular.

they change the topics frequently, so it never gets boring, and i like the karma ratings, even though i am in the minus, probly cos not a marcus fan, lol.

and i love all the different smilies!
