#7 - Stropz Ban

As I have mentioned before our decision at the moment is final, and the countless threads aren't going to do anything except potentially put off new members and create a bad atmopshere on the forum.

Any new threads on these topics I'm going to move to the deleted forum, and the people (you know who you are) who keep creating the new threads will get a warning if it carries on.

We know you are disapointed with her ban, but we gave her many chances, a lot of the time we even bypassed things she said as not to give her automatic week long bans.

There's only two weeks left of Big Brother, let's not ruin the forum excitment and atmosphere in this time, thanks

Re: Your Strike -- Obviusly I can't stop some of you posting (although I have a suspicision it will wear off by midday ) but I will be removing threads posted about it. It's not a good advertiser for new members, and obviously we don't want to encourage people not posting, when it will have no effect as our deicison is final.

Hate to rant, but sometimes things go on a little too long, and too far

Thanks

- Mark

TiBB members took to various campaigns, arguments, insults and spamming to get her ban lifted, which resulted in many of those members being banned and forcing Mark to step in and try stop them. Eventually (a couple of years later) they allowed her back.

Awwww! I love lily!

Normally you get the odd thread of stories to try and fool people but this year James decided to take us all by surprise and put on a setting that switched all our avatars to somebody else's each time we refreshed or posted. For the first time in a long time the forum actually all had a laugh and it was such a great night with everyone in really good spirits. By far one the best things to have happened on TiBB.

So this thread is our chance to give him a good send off! Please feel free to post in here anything that you like to help celebrate Ben's time on here as I think we can agree that he's been a great member and will definitely be missed!

So come on guys and girls, let's have a good knee's up and celebrate the guy, the legend, the mess, the best MOD ever, the funniest person on here, one of the most lovable and friendliest members on this forum, that is Ben.

(a massive thanks to everybody for all the work they've done in preparation for this thread: Livia, Ammi, Niamh, Josy, Shaun and everybody else who has contributed toward all these comments).

I PMed around 50 active users and got in touch with a handful of oldies to put together this video - wishing you luck and looking back on some fun times over the past 4 years. I'd like to thank everyone who replied with a message for me to include, or provided me with an idea.

Get the kleenex ready. This is going to make you cry

Remember the time that dick ukturtle left? trolololol. Now usually when people leave TiBB it's because they are having a hissy fit, delete their avatar and sig and then storm off for like a day. But this time around it was me leaving to go travel another country, New Zealand. Never before had the forum pulled together to create such a wonderful tribute for someone leaving, and so many people got involved. It was one of the nicest things I think the collective forum has ever done. So although it was my leaving, it is memorable for the fact that you lot came together and did such a lovely thing. Shows what a nice place we can be at times.

Also memorable for the fact you all went to ******** for my last night and I never showed up.

Anyway, I did leave, and ended up back on here after 5 months because I settled down in Auckland. ha2.

#4 - Scott's wurkit

Well, this soon spread around TiBB like wildfire and became a long running joke, infact one particular thread (which has been deleted ) was made where a deep discussion of it occurred in which Scott was dared by Shaun to send it to ElProximo and Zippy prayed that his notification was an infraction, not Scott's wurkit. I don't think Scott will ever live this down, lol.

#3 - Zeta vs. Brotherhood

For me when it started off it was banter on both sides and we played on it funly, nobody took it seriously although sometimes arguements got heated, the majority of the time it was fun banter.

What the **** happened? I mean when I see people like MissKittyFantastico and Jayson who don't have a bloody clue what the whole thing is about or how it came about going "Zeta's are jealous" "Zeta's this" "Zeta's need to stick with their friends" "I posted in the Zeta thread abusing their spelling!" seriously shut up you idiots. You have no idea so stop acting like you do. You're in Brotherhood, wow well done have fun in there I'm not going to hate you because you joined a forum clique. I'd say the same if you were in Zeta. Stop taking is so damn seriously. It's all fun at the end of the day some people take it WAY too far by posting cr*p in threads, just stick to your own and keep it lighthearted banter please.

Also none of this whole "You're in Zeta you'd say that!" I'm not IN anything. I post in the Zeta thread because it so happens that the majority of the people I like post in there... I do have friends in the "Brotherhood" too... I get along with most of them... Andy, Baz, Tom, Ben, Remy, Lauren I may not be close to them but I get along with them and so do alot of others. I know some "new" Zeta's are taking it seriously too, but if you think back to when it first started and the "originals" we took it as a joke. So everyone in both Z and BH, don't take it seriously.

Seriously if you're taking this serious get a grip and get a life.
This obviously doesn't apply to everyone in both of Z and BH.

The biggest divide TiBB has ever had, by a long shot. What started off as a friendly rivalry soon turned nasty as more people jumped the bandwagon and people took things to far and too personal. At a time when TiBB had BIG cliques this divide often spilled into many other chat threads and clearly invloved a lot of people who were supporting either Zeta or BH or just wanting to bait the situation. Many a casualty was to be had during this long war.

#2 - Controversy

Now the one thing that probably caused the absolute most carnage on here was the negative version of Most Loved, it was a Most Loathed called Controversy, hosted by Shaun. Basically you had to follow a similar process to ML but instead you did it for people you hated and you got the chance to say what you really disliked about them. The arguments, insults, bans, rudeness and divides that this brought was unbearable and pretty much everyone got coved in some form of blood from this carnage. I honestly don;t think I have seen as much venom as when this happened.
It also brought us some classic insults such as: Jordan being called Stacey's buttplug, somebody wishing I got a flesh eating disease, somebody ranting that this is ThisIsBigBrother not ThisIsVicky, ahhh the hateful and cutting comments were endless. Sadly this thread as banned to the depths of TiBB never to be seen again, and although a second one was planned, admin put a halt to that, so we will never see anything like this again.

I also can't find any better quote for this as they have all been deleted.

Most of you probably haven't spoke to Mark, or even seen him on here, as he doesn't often come on anymore, but this is his site. Now one day back in 2010 ILoveTRW managed to get hold of some of the new housepics for BB11 that had been leaked and decided to post them on the forum. Well needless to say, ILoveTRW unknowingly was about to bring the funniest moment to TiBB.

Somebody from C4 must have seen these pics posted and the rang Mark, who at the time happened to be having a bath. He got straight out of the bath, reprimanded ILoveTRW and also informed us all that we had disrupted his bath time.

Some of you may dispute this at the Most memorable of all time, but what is more memorable then the owner getting annoyed that his bubble bath was ruined? Lol.


And that is that. There are probably loads that I have missed out, but hey ho, I tried my best to remember as much as I could. I hope you enjoyed a little trip down memory lane?
