There doesn't seem to be much excitement about the possibility of BB launching on C5, so it seems.

They hate us.

Plus they're boring compared to us, too nice and as the OP said there's no excitement at all for BB12 where as here and everywhere else in the UK there's talk of it.

And what is there to get excited about? Nothing's been confirmed yet. I think a lot of the difference in reaction to this between DS and here is down to age, the majority of people on TIBB have only been watching since series 6 or 7 or aren't old enough to remember enough of the early series to appreciate just how much the show changed (for the worse) over the years, the majority of people on DS (including myself) have been watching since the webcams first went live in July 2000 and have had to put up with seeing the show they've been watching for a decade have every last penny squeezed from it by £ndemol over the last 5 or 6 years then left to fade into oblivion, with age and experience comes weariness and skepticism.

They're really not, infact some of the anti-housemate bile on DS can make the anti-contestant bile on TIBB seem quite tame (getting really rather personal and not in a jest way). It can be even worse towards producers, Phil Edgar Jones was planning to post hints and tidbits there (ignorning initial warnings about how brutal some there can be) throughout the last series but was hounded off by mid-way point and wrote a rather flouncy post in a strop, unable to handle it, for which he was also ridiculed.

Digital Spy is sh*t, controlled by Hitler like Mods who make up their own rules as they go along & some extremely weird & over obsessed members who take you having an opinion that differs to their own as an act of war... It has some of the most mentally ill people I have ever seen on any forum too...

The alleged "creative director", pej, as he styles himself is a conceited and incompetent fool who likes to voice his opinion but who cannot stand criticism - DS members like myself, who called him out for what he was, were suddely subject for DS "discipline", in my case a permanent ban on a techicality for something I did 5 years ago .....

..... not entirely surprising, since the independent DS was taken over on 9 April 2008 by international magazine publisher Hachette Filipacchi*, a subsidiary of the Lagardère Group for a "significant" sum, so now the site is subject to the interventions of media "controllers", demanding "airtime" and "censorship"

* Hachette Filipacchi Media publishes 47 magazines, including Action Auto Moto, Elle France, Entrevue, France Dimanche, Ici Paris, Joystick, Le Journal de Mickey, Onze Mondial, Parents, Paris Match, Jeune & Jolie, Pariscope, Photo, Première, Télé 7 Jours, Top Famille Magazine and TV Hebdo. It also publishes dailies La Provence, Nice-Matin or Corse Presse. HFM also owns 25% of Éditions Philippe Amaury, which publishes Le Parisien, L'Equipe and other sport magazines.

I have watched BB since series 1. Anyway I do prefer TIBB. And also I appreciate the members in TIBB for being so enthusiastic and excited about a strong possibility for a return of BB. The producers of BB need to visit this site for Ideas too and not just bum DS. If they see now how lack of enthusiasm DS has for a possibility return of BB then they might decide not to go ahead with BB

I hope the producers of BB are more open minded and visit other BB sites too. I do look on DS. Once I tried to sign up but it wouldn't let me and at the time you had to pay a fiver. Just think it's easier if I stay here then and pop on a Neighbours site now and again

Everyone and anyone is welcome here. The more the merrier. Even DS members.

I hope for more members to come here who are "insiders" of BB too

Please!

I think there is. I think some are waiting for it to be confirmed though.

Stacey. · 31-01-2011, 09:44 PM

Cus here's better

Fetch The Bolt Cutters · 31-01-2011, 09:44 PM

they banned me

31-01-2011, 09:44 PM

I was going to sign up a while back. I don't I'll bother now. Just had a look at the BB C5 thread... Zzzzzzzz...

Patrick · 31-01-2011, 09:46 PM

Are they a community over there?

The way here we all know eachother and can have jokes and stuff together and we're pretty much, I'm not going to say Family because that's ******ing cheesy and stupid, but we either love eachother [not in that way] or hate eachother.

Is it like that over there?

Or are they all like

Fetch The Bolt Cutters · 31-01-2011, 09:47 PM

they are all like

tibb >

GypsyGoth · 31-01-2011, 09:48 PM

There are a few people here that post there too, and they are cool, so over there can't be that bad.

The general atmosphere here is better though.

Over there, I'm sure they're lovely people but they're pretty much..well that's all there is to them really from what I've seen and heard.

Although it was epic in Summer like in August when I had my 'Evict The 4 Bores' campaign and everyone from TiBB and DS kind of teamed up on Facebook and stuff aswell and helped eachother out.. but we failed, we only managed to get rid of Steve. hehe.

Patrick · 31-01-2011, 09:51 PM

LOL We should do a 'Forum Exchange' were like 10 People from TiBB are forced over to DS and Vice Versa.

I could just imagine it, I would be banned in 4 minutes for calling someone a giant ******.

A forum exchange would be fun.

And I think you being banned from there would take seconds

DigitalSid · 31-01-2011, 10:07 PM

DS has an older (30 something) and more varied readership (not being a fan site) than TIBB so it's usership is (at times, refreshingly) more reserved plus everyone's being (rightly) realistic, this could still turn to nothing and if it doesn't it could turn out to be OK!-led rubbish, nothing wrong with being realistic, infact if that turns out to be the case, those who are will be the least pissed.

DS has 400,000 members and is the 4th largest forum in the world, TIBB, doesn't and isn't, it's bound to be more close-knit, though there is actually quite a community spirit on DS (if a bit cliquey at times) just a different one to the one here.

I disagree, I like both but the bickering and bitchiness on here can sometimes grate and make the place seem a tad immature and unwelcoming. I think, as you get older you'll appreciate the lack of that there (outside the showbiz section, which can be just as bad as here for that at times).

The with DS 'community wise' is people mainly stick to their sections. Like the JJJ lot are all having a massive party in Bristol this weekend which John and Josie are actually going to[/jealous] but that's one thread in one section in a section in a section in another section on the forum. The place is huge.

Yup. The site was around before and will be around long after Big Brother. DSBB while the site's most popular section while the show's on air, is just a small part of a much larger site (posted on by everyone from lawyers, to ex-housemates to astronomers to Lord Alan Sugar).
