Something more creative and requiring more thought would be nice: like bringing back the photography contest, or The Apprentice (I remember this used to be how James/Mark would actually hire moderators, because the tasks would be largely geared towards creating something productive for the forum ) or Next Top Model (I know most would be uncomfortable with that now, though), or something that isn't just... a Big Brother competition format fulled to the brim with pre-teens acting melodramatically.

This sounds brilliant

Didn't someone try and bring the photography thing back recently, or something similar to it? I'm sure I remember something about that being mentioned fairly recently

I didnt know this..and really like that idea

Higher ranks, there are no higher ranks only members that think they are.

[Shaun]

I know it wasn't the official point of the games but I remember them hiring SiaSiaSia and I think Lauren because they won two editions of it (and then I won the third and they clearly reconsidered that deal)

[Calderyon]

To the question, not at the moment. On the off-season, the action seems to be mostly on the chat thread section of the forum while the rest of the forum is considerably quieter.

[Firewire]

Yes she's dead

Maybe I bring back the photography contest and every round is Nicola McLean centric?

There is already a website dedicated to that.

*57th time I've replied to something with this but it suits my feelings toward Tibb so well

[Ninastar]

To me, yes but that’s more so due to the fact that certain mods and admin on here pretend that allowing certain old members to post on the forum isn’t an issue. Don’t know how many old posters on here have to leave until it’s noticed but nothing will change so...

Post some threads instead of playing the blame game on out spoken members.

[Josy]

Seems pretty quiet, although it is normally quieter at this time of year I do agree with what Shaun posted, there less being posted, less creativity, a lot of the games that run are pretty much the same game with the same ideas and stuff with only a different name, there's less interesting or even fun threads being posted, no offence meant to anyone but a thread made with say a one liner and a gif in c&g just isn't going to be interesting or hilarious enough to hold anyone's attention for longer than it takes to post a 'lmao'

Things may pick up soon with xmas etc coming up idk

Any suggestions or attempts at creating interesting threads is welcomed....

Everyone's got their own reasons for leaving, most people are able to ignore the members they don't like/get on with instead of complaining about it in every thread and no offense but you didn't exactly have a big impact on the forum

[Amy Jade]

Not being funny but why would people stop posting because they dislike a person? That's so overly dramatic.

[Eddie.]

don't worry! this place would be back to normal once the media begin to speculate the HMs for CBB21...

IMO, if I'm to be totally honest, when people get so upset by other people's comments that they have to "leave", it's because they don't like what's being said about them and yet can see some truth in it.

I'd rather someone had little impact (which Caitlin did not, lol) than whatever "yours" was.

That's fine, but I'm not the one complaining about it and yet still logging in purely to...complain. It's really odd. I don't want to get into a discussion about 'relevance' and the likes, because it's dumb and pointless but if you're gonna moan about the inactivity at least provide something yourself or it holds no value (and imo she didn't, except for posting cat pictures or to call Claudia a bitch for the 369483rd time), but whatever interests you I guess

If someone’s pathetic enough to leave because someone they dislike is on here they can stay gone

[Amy Jade]

There is always a bit of a slump about now isn't there?

[smudgie]

Nah, it's just that time of the year.
We will all be changing to our Xmas names soon, and full of goodwill and merriment.

I don't think we are allowed Xmas names this year, I remember reading it somewhere in the forum
