Maybe, I used the C4 one, when it actually bothered to discuss the show, the last few years it was just a forum for BB fans to chat about anything but the show.

..no I wouldn't..I've posted on DS during BB and that's aggressive enough..I agree with Nathan..the moderating on here is what makes the difference and it helps to have the mods taking part in so much on the forum as well, so you get to know them..it makes it not so much a 'regime'...I'm on a few forums, but TiBB is definately the one that's moderated the best..especially during BB season which gets completely chaotic at times..I also wouldn't want to be on a forum which is just BB and nothing else..it's good to be able to 'retreat' to the main forum and catch up with the people you know... this is the perfect place to be for BB....it has everything...

..well, I didn’t have a favourite housemate, either in the last BB or CBB..tbh, I thought the housemates in both were fairly average or awful..so I feel I was quite objective in my opinions..but I was attacked by other members frequently, just because they didn’t like their favourite having any criticism whatsoever...and I know that happens on here as well..but you always feel the presence of a Mod around, so you feel more protected from abuse...I didn’t feel that on DS..you certainly aren’t ‘aware’ of the mods like you are on here, where they’ll post warnings on the forum if people are being silly....

..also, I think the new Channel 5 BB encourages a house of bickering and arguing and sometimes imo letting housemates go too far..I think it wants the controversy, so I can’t imagine that they wouldn’t want the same on their forum and I would doubt there’ll be much moderating at all... that would make for an awful forum and prevent me from posting at all...on here you have a mix of BB fans..and regular members who are also fans, but not all such ‘die hards’ so you have more of a balance of members posting.....
