Does anyone know why this forum seems to be less frequented of late.

Is it because this series of CBB is pretty dull, I don't think so.

Is it because Threads and posts keep disappearing, maybe.

Is it because TIBB is loosing members to other forums, possibly.

Is it due to the overwhelming arguments that seem to beseech us on here.

Maybe its because every time someone opens a new thread, the usual suspects rubbish it and the poster feels embarrassed to try again.

Or is it due to the weather and people seem to be out and about more.

I seem to see the same posts day after day and the same FM's posting. There seems to be very little new blood around these days. It used to be so much fun on here but people like Lucas have long gone and names we used to recognise have not posted for ages. Sadly my privileges have been curtailed somewhat so I cant see who is getting banned or who is visiting the site, so I am somewhat ill informed.

Maybe someone can cast a light on my question. All I am seeing of late are threads opening then disappearing for no reason, its weird.

I think it's a bit of all of the above.
Also, warnings seem to be given out too frequently.
Plus, there are several posters who seem to say the same thing over & over again so it's sometimes not worth replying.

Tired of responding to people who think James behaviour is acceptable probably. It's the same old arguments thread after thread. Also I'm new this month.

Don't just blame James fans, that's so unfair

1. Don't think so.
2. Possibly, I have seen that happen.
3. For sure, I have noticed Digital Spy picking up a lot of forum members lately, especially in the last few days.
4. I haven't seen many arguments on here to be fair.
5. Probably
6. I doubt its the weather, its been getting worse. Ratings have been decent, so don't think its people not watching BB, but maybe more people choosing not to spend a lot of time on TiBB.

I think people are just bored of BB after 12 weeks more than anything on the forum

[hijaxers]

I think the civillian BB this year saw off lots of people due to the aggressive and sometimes very nasty replies by the Helen lovers on here , I commented on this at the time !

No

..CBB is never as busy or watched by as many on season members or off season members as the civilian one, especially this one just afterwards because I think it's a bit 'overkill' for many and nothing to do with the housemates themselves etc...I think we have more 'season' posters than we sometimes do this time so it isn't too bad...

..it always gets quite 'passionate' and especially toward the end but there just isn't the same interest in CBB and never was with the summer one...it's so exhausting being back to back.....

[bots]

Its a bit of BB's own doing I think. The story lines have remained pretty static. For example, housemates attack Gary, Gary shrugs it off, repeat as often as is possible in the time frame

Kellie, her story, repeat 30 seconds infinitely across the series

Its no wonder a forum runs out of ways to comment on the same things

[Pincho Paxton]

The first few weeks, getting to know the housemates is quiet.

To be fair, judging by ratings, summer CBB this year is as solid as ever as I have just posted the officials on the ratings thread. So its down to this forum down, not the show, and as I said, DS is more busy lately, so probably posters are moving from here to there ??

I am also a DS member, but prefer it on here, and I have seen a load of members from here on there and not to put too fine a point on it, they seem to think the moderation of TIBB has gone mental. Personally I have seen that some of the more frequent posters getting away with murder but that surely cant last as it will kill the forum for sure. I quite like it on here and it would be a shame to see TIBB die so lets see if we cant lift it somewhat by starting more threads and posting a little kinder.

Totally agree , has put me off commenting on many posts even now , I see certain Helen fans and on a thread and I avoid it, I also got a warning for trying to defend someone on here so now I mostly look don't post.

People blaming a certain demographic of fans for the supposed downfall of TiBB this series is laughable
