And lol at the chatroom and the karma system that everyone abused, particularly poor rice_square's (bettiepage) who ended up having one of the lowest ratings due to everyone minusing it..

Layout's a bit messy.

I never even noticed a chatroom

Oh gosh. Being introduced by scott, that was interesting.
I had never been on forums before and I had no clue what I was doing.

But in all honesty, I felt welcome.

(again I felt welcome, doesn't mean that I was)

I was googling for pictures the day after launch night for Steph BB9 I think, and found the gallery on here, signed up to talk about BB but didn't really like anyone so started just trying to annoy everyone by posting threads about Mario all the time because he was hated on here.

I think the first person I spoke to properly was Annie, but I got banned straight away as soon as I entered chat and games. The mods didn't half to be harsh to new members compared to old ones

[King Gizzard]

Was watching BB then Lauren started talking to me randomly about my name at the time (Hewman) so I stuck around and started talking in the football thread

Then someone made me go into the chatroom and talked to Jayson and Brad mainly

Patrick impressed me a lot with his posts a la Bible, I thought no one would ever read my posts if they didn't have at least 10 paragraphs.

Chat & Games was very cliquey and the only person to make me feel comfortable posting in there at first was Claudia.

I felt like I was back at school

[joeysteele]

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.

Cliquey and bitchy, not much has changed

[Z]

When I joined, it was very innocent. People would be banned for swearing (Linda was banned for I think 17 months for posting DamN! all the time, breaking the swear filter, to give an example) and the arguments peaked at stuff like "I strongly disagree with you!!!" I drifted away from the forum for a while, came back and posted a lot more and then found myself being roped into arguments with Chrizzle, MarkWaldorf, Princess and all the other young teenage users which IMO set the precedent for all the cliques and offensive arguments on the forum. It even drove me away from posting for quite a long time, and when I eventually came back I found myself feeling like I was an outsider looking in. It took a long time for me to feel like I belonged on the forum (when I did the Perfect X Factor with Shaun, Darenn and Billy) but ever since then I've felt like I've had my place on the forum and haven't ever considered leaving it since. It turned into a bitchy clique fest around the time Big Brother itself turned into a bitchy clique fest - I guess like attracts like.

Though, I never knew any other sections existed, besides the BB sections till about 3 months after I joined f/

Yeah, all the 09 members were really friendly which is why we all got on so well. Den V's Brotherhood Days
