When he's not talking about himself in the 3rd person, Jesus often gets it right.

I don't know about buddies for new members but a stock 'introductory PM' might be an idea? you could include a narrated instructional video of someone navigating the forum.
Maybe not for all sign ups but for those who have actually posted a certain number of times.

also, I alway just went straight into the BB forum, I didn't know about New Posts or Todays posts and at that time the BB section was always so busy, I kind of never wondered about it. It was only when BB finished and things quietened down I started looking around

That's the key. That's exactly what I did, and the BB forum was what I bookmarked, so I had no reason to think a website called "thisisbigbrother" would have threads about how much Salman hates gaga.

Oh ok

the month I joined was during the period I first discovered forums too, although I became a chat & games regular like immediately lmfao

[Livia]

If I was the boss of TiBB moderators would be elected (although the vast majority of current mods would probably still get the job)... and once they were elected they'd be armed.

Well I'm certainly not being assigned a bloody "buddy", they can find their own way around the place

Move the Sports forum to the top of the index page above all of the others, go back to the old warning system, and add some football games to the arcade.

Get rid of Novo And Marc
Make my nani gif, the logo off the forum

Pls dont @ me.

Delete the football forum no one cares about it anyway.

3 strikes and out rule would make the place a whole lot better.

Change the forum theme and main page designs.


The welcome thing although a nice gesture wouldn't work IMO a lot of members sign up and never post or post about 5 times then leave and it would be a bit daft sending a welcome message a lot later than that.

We do often let members know that we have other sections too.

If there was a stock pm that you could all use it would take 10 seconds to paste in. The fact new posters post 5 times then leave shows that from registering to post 5, something isn't working, and we've seen 5 different people in this thread alone have no idea about most of TIBB. And the welcome message should be sent immediately, not a week down the line.

Even a basic hello and welcome, with links to all areas of the forum. At least then people will have all the information at the start.

Get rid of the 1+ 1- game

[Kizzy]

I think getting rid of the swear filter is a f*c*i*g stupid idea.

If I was boss,I would have an 'Apology' thread where people would apologise and explain their reasons for being rude and nasty and talk problems out,I would have no bans except for extreme cases and refusals to apologise.

That wouldn't go well imo, it'd just turn into a fight thread

I know but it would be fun to see,seriously,I think some people are mature enough to say what annoys them and move on,the others can be locked in the stocks.
