Damn winter colds.

[Good King Glennceslas]

I'm for the Razzies being held no matter where it's held. Count me in.

And Shaun, your comments directed at me have hurt my feelings so much I doubt I'll be the same again.
only joking : )

[Amy Jade]

I hope they go ahead, it's all for fun and it's the only way I'll ever have a chance of winning anything on here

[Good King Glennceslas]

The figures speak for themselves it seems.

Matt, join the offsite place and I'll make you admin in case you have to run it over there..

*sighs and rolls eyes at the inevitable trolls*

this is why we can't have nice things

[Good King Glennceslas]

Lily is there a way of limiting the forum to just registered users?

[Jack_]

^ just get everyone to verify who they are by PM'ing Lily/Matt or whoever on here, make it a private forum and then ban anyone who doesn't identify themselves/has opted-out/is against the awards

[Good King Glennceslas]

There won't be any aggro that way

oh good the username Josy is not taken

If you're gonna opt out of a Game or an Award or whatever then leave it well alone afterwards. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Stop sniping... Let's ask James exactly why it was scrapped shall we?
If he agrees with your version of events I will apologise for every comment made on the last razzie thread.... Where is that btw?

[Good King Glennceslas]

It was scrapped because the thread was hounded by members who opted out. Sniping as Dezzy has said, every 5 minutes to show their disapproval. The hassle that caused the drama last time is the reason James has 'cancelled' it.

[Merry Mockmas]

Bring it on.

Disagree. I've seen James post in the past on the subject of the Razzies and state that some very nasty comments have been made as part of this 'fun'.

I also note Matt's previous post in this thread to the effect that if the Razzies happen offsite it'll be no holds barred.

Yeah great let's have a repeat of the burn blog woop woop.

What an absolutely irresponsible and daft idea. It's just looking for trouble.

Have a pop at me as much as you like for being a killjoy. I've witnessed how much distress the Razzies comments have caused people in the past in the name of fun.

Yeah, I'm going to add some admin approval on membership. Use your TiBB username when joining over there, and PM me here to say you've joined please.

I'm going to delete any user who can't be identified, so if you registered with a trollname, you'll have to re-register with a real one.

[Black Dagger]

It's all just harmless banter really and people shouldn't take life too seriously, it's the internet, I remember when I practically got called a munter one year

[Black Dagger]

ew I just used the word banter -goes and downs bleach-

[Lee.]

Banter is a good word to describe the Razzies though.. I don't think they're nasty, just very tongue in cheek.

[Kizzy]

It's ok if you're currently in favour and running with the pack, for those who for whatever reason find themselves on the periphery it can feel very different.
There have been some whopping lies told in this thread, and as there is no way to check unless James takes it upon himself to get involved again and repost last years razzies then I guess that's how it is.
It's very disrespectful to harangue James as he's made his point clear, have the razzies offsite why some are so desperate to throw shade I don't know though.

Yea... i'm out

If I have a problem with something somebody on here says or does I would rather tell them directly, rather than bitch about them amongst a gaggling group of gossips 'with immunity' on a closed forum, to be honest.

Also, if the owner of this domain says no you cant do it on here then surely there is a very good reason for that, and he would basically be stating that he wants nothing to do with it... which if I were him would cause an issue when the 'standby board' that has been created uses the name this forum is widely referred to as, i.e. 'TIBB Razzies'

Thirdly, considering the people raising objections over this bitchfest, it cant be a good thing.

Lastly, for the people who don't want to take part and are a little concerned about people talking about them, remember these things:

Words can only hurt you if you let them & How people treat you is their Karma, how you react, is yours.

Well maybe if some of the venom were aimed at you then you'd feel differently

From what I can remember, there hasn't been an issue with The Razzies since last year. You made a stink about it last year when you were in self destruct mode, knowing you could possibly be nominated for everything. You opted out, fair enough.
The Razzies are a tradition on TiBB, has been for years. I don't think it's fair they should be cancelled because 4/5 people disagree with them.
You can twist the Razzies anyway you like, the fact is they ARE harmless, they ARENT designed to be vicious.

I'll continue to 'make a stink about it' as I wish thank you. It's my opinion and it will never change. I've actually stated it for the previous 2 years ceremonies, again this year and if it's attempted again I'll object again. I'm entitled to express my opinion - it's a forum.

I know they aren't designed to be vicious Glenn, you don't need to put it in capital letters for me, however there are always unacceptable things get said in them that go against normal tibb rules. I find it hard to understand that people don't get that simple fact.

And to reiterate, to do it offsite and use the name of tibb is really not appropriate, I doubt James will be happy about that. On your own heads be it.

Remember how disgusted you were by the recent offensive blog cos doing this offsite is inviting a re run of that. The host has already stated it'll be no holds barred. It'll be sick.

I give up.
