Cliquey and bitchy, not much has changed

[Z]

When I joined, it was very innocent. People would be banned for swearing (Linda was banned for I think 17 months for posting DamN! all the time, breaking the swear filter, to give an example) and the arguments peaked at stuff like "I strongly disagree with you!!!" I drifted away from the forum for a while, came back and posted a lot more and then found myself being roped into arguments with Chrizzle, MarkWaldorf, Princess and all the other young teenage users which IMO set the precedent for all the cliques and offensive arguments on the forum. It even drove me away from posting for quite a long time, and when I eventually came back I found myself feeling like I was an outsider looking in. It took a long time for me to feel like I belonged on the forum (when I did the Perfect X Factor with Shaun, Darenn and Billy) but ever since then I've felt like I've had my place on the forum and haven't ever considered leaving it since. It turned into a bitchy clique fest around the time Big Brother itself turned into a bitchy clique fest - I guess like attracts like.

I also used to think it was really really odd how could some members have so many posts.

It's because the posts in chat and Games used to count, that's why alot of 2009 members counts are so high, I used to post in The Den non stop when i first discovered the C&Gs section

Claymores was actually the one who made me most welcome on here

Claymores was one of the first people to make me feel welcome too, outside of the BB threads. I can't really remember what I thought about tibbs other than it was so nice to meet people who loved BB as much as I do...I hardly know anyone in real life who even watch it

Haha no it just doesn't seem you're as prominent a poster in the more light-hearted and fun threads anymore, I do still like you Ian, when you're not in big arguments anyway

I remember joining here when the C4 forum became intolerable. I still find TIBB a bit cliquey and I guess as an older member feel a bit strange as everyone seems so young on here - but I am trying to stay during off season to see what it's like. It's just great to have a place to swap views about BB as no one I know watches it now
