A button to embed tweets, would just make life easier.

A better social media presence to attract new members, and therefore more discussion. I'm sure a lot of members on here would be up for running the twitter account etc which would share links popular topics and threads on the forum to attract BB fans.

A new design? There are some talented graphic designers on here so surely a new skin competition or something could be held to make the forum look more modern? However I do understand it probably would take a lot of time and effort to implement

Other members feel free to add any thoughts below x

i agree mostly with that ''better social media presence to attract new members'' thing

more members in any debates on SD is better, but also more new members for any games in here is also great for variety


the current design is good enough, and i thought it wasn't that old, or at least can remember James did upgrade it not so long ago (and you can choose whatever design you prefer yourselves) but a skin competition does sound interesting indeed

If the forum was a car it would be an Astra on an 03 plate with one wheel a space saver and one door panel a different colour.

I started making icons before and they looked really nice but it was so much work for no reward so I stopped. I do agree with the ideas apart from the emojis though.

Removed a lot of posts in here, can you all please try and stick to the topic and not turn every thread into a mess of not so subtle digs?

If you actually paid attention to me in the group chat instead of being nasty. You would know I haven't had a Grindr account in over 2 years!

Being realistic, unless Big Brother comes back what has the forum got to offer aside from homophobes and racists? It falls out of every current demographic.

I've added the Tweet button.

I believe you can use whole links to tweets within the tags.


eg.

[TWEET]https://twitter.com/TiBBbigbrother/status/1277490620815208448[/TWEET]

or

[TWEET]1246904975692673024[/TWEET]

that is what Greg means with giving this forum a boost via twitter, so after that we likely get more newer members rather than now the ''new'' members being clones/multi's

i suggest going after loads who like RTV in general too, as well as BB, to make other forum sections apart from BB also more popular
