It could have been (and a lot of it was) about other TV, general and personal topics, but they also chose to post about political issues, and politics is divisive.

It probably not for the best that we have it on here, and it obviously puts some people off it, but it is tricky to say we are going to disallow it and drawing the line is tricky.

I am pleasantly surprised that the forum has kept going, even when Big Brother wasn't on, and when it came back others returned. Also when I think about it the friendships and community that have been created over the entire history of the forum is something to be proud of I think.

Another thing is people might not be aware of is all the drama that has gone on over the years, not just in the last few. Ridiculous stuff in some cases.

.
I'm not really taking about political posts, I'm talking about the stream of abuse thrown at minority communities on a near continual basis. If anyone goes into a political thread and gets upset because of political name calling, then that's on them (to an extent), but if I'm a new member just browsing the forum, and I see a constant stream of black people are stabby stabby, or Muslims just want to blow everyone up, or this country lets in the trash, then that's on the site.

I feel it's partly because of long standing forum rules. As another example. lets say Ammi calls me a clown and got an infraction for it, but lets say she calls me that because every single one of my posts were about black fathers being absent, then surely Ammi is in the right? I feel there's a disconnect between what's really harmful for the reputation of the site (the bigotry), and what the site perceives as harmful - bit of stupid name calling.

I don't think anyone has left the site (although I could be wrong and stand corrected) because they didn't like how the left/right were being spoken about in the political section, but I know lots have left the site because of how their personal minority communities have been spoken about, and the tacit approval provided by TIBBS failure to address these issues.

…I don’t think that there is any longer term member here… (other than smudgie…)…that hasn’t gone through pro TiBB and anti TiBB times…sometimes we’ve loved it/ sometimes not so much and we’ve all moaned and groaned and griped and then groaned some more…it’s good that we haven’t had all of the worse times at the same time…but we somehow haven’t and here we still are…

This is the truth. For as long as I've been here (15 years bloody hell ) People have been complaining that this time is the worst of times and looking back with rose tinted glasses at times gone by. As others have pointed out, Forums are a dying breed, BB was cancelled for years, the fact that the forum is still going is an achievement in itself and James doesn't get enough credit

I remember when Tibb was all fields, as far as the eye could see

And you could leave your door open

There was always a Mod patrolling every thread and if you stepped out of line you got a thick ear

Now there are hardly any Mods and the ones that are are stuck in an office with mountains of paperwork with rainbow lanyards and soya tea

I guess Serious Debates gets too much at times, and the threads about that certain ginger bloke and his American wife are literally hard work But there are so many little fun pockets of the forum. Chats and Games, Movies, Music, Sports are all great. Zizu driving me mad in the football threads is great too

Where are they all then? Why aren’t they engaging? Posting etc.

People have literally been driven away from this forum and no one can deny that. That is a fact. A hard fact no one seems to want to admit.

You asked for opinions, and people have varying opinions, 10 people (and Zizu) have said they wouldn’t pay, not just Glenn, he’s as entitled to an opinion as the rest of you.

My opinion is along the lines of Glenn’s, but also very similar to Slim’s, I barely post as it is, it used to feel like a big community, and it’s lost that feel a lot, this days it’s a smaller one. (Due to various reasons, some that have been covered, but not exclusive to that)

I used to play a lot of the games, and there’d always be different casts, whereas now every game seems to be exactly the same people playing, so I’m never really inspired to sign up to any of them, or to post much.

I know after posting the other week, a few people said it’s nice to see me around, I’ve not left, I’ve been on the forum most days, I just don’t see any topics I want to interact with, and I know that I could make one, but I’m also not hugely inspired to do that either, so I wouldn’t pay for it.

Whilst I have made some very good friendships off this website, I speak to almost all of them on a different platform now, it’s only really Ammi that I message on here. (And even then, when she left the forum I spoke to her elsewhere)

Do you think maybe having a new sub-Forum would rejuvenate your interest in the Forum?

I don’t think so if I’m honest, I think an influx of new and interesting members, as well as the return of some of the nice ex TiBBers would probably inspire me more. I remember a real change when Kate originally returned.


I’m going to take part in the gorgeous Ammi’s pointless game, and if Niamh brings back top answers, they’re always fun to do, but I think that’s basically it for now, I think forums are naturally dying anyway, which is a shame as I like the format of a forum with topics a lot more than the newer themes of discords.

…I don’t really have time for much of a post as I’m rushing off but…I do understand what Slim is saying in that he’s responding to and giving some reasoning as to why a paid subscription for forum/TiBB use wouldn’t be something he would consider…I mean, that makes complete sense, doesn’t it…for things that we choose to subscribe to…we would hope for those things to align to us and with us …that would be a ‘good business model’ type thing, as he says…
