Hiya,

Just a quick survey type post to see what you would like the Big Brother 8 forum layout to be during the series.

- Would you rather have separate sub forums for each contestant, or just have a 'Contestants' forum.

- Do you want to see Virtual Nominations back?

- Do you want a Tasks forum, or would you rather see task discussion in the main BB8 forum

- Any other things/forums you'd like to see BB8 related?

- How do you prefer seeing live updates? Last year we had a live update thread. Did you use/read this?

The forum during BB8 is going to be pretty popular I imagine this year. I am trying to look at the best solution to prevent a) clogged forums, b) repeated topics - and at the same time not isolating all the posts to different forums where its harder to keep up with whats going on.

I'm sure we will find a way where we can please everyone, but if you have any suggestions on what you'd like to see during BB8, let us know here!

Thanks,

- Mark

"todays posts" will show all the lates threads so sub forums are ok imo

I'm sure we will find a way where we can please everyone, but if you have any suggestions on what you'd like to see during BB8, let us know here!

- Do you want to see Virtual Nominations back?Yes, they are fun

- Any other things/forums you'd like to see BB8 related?nothing I can think of

- How do you prefer seeing live updates? Last year we had a live update thread. Did you use/read this?I'd carry on with doing a live updates thread, it was pretty useful last year

I really liked the separate forums we had for house mates during BB6. They might be a little more work for us in the admin team but they keep all the like and dislike house mate x in one place.

Virtual nomination are part of the history of TiBB and we certainly shouldn't drop them this year. They are fun and make an interesting read.

Having a live topic has worked well over the years I say lets keep that too. It a useful thread to read to catch-up as long as the people posting are descriptive about what is going on and are not using it for cheap one liners.

Finally can we have a BB News section like we had in the past. It a nice place to keep all the news articles.

I always think the "BB posts only" link is a good way of keeping up with what is going on. I don't think we will ever avoid repeated topics but best way is by using sub-forums and explaining the rules on how to use them over and over again.

Can you explain what a "love topic" is please? Remember I am a TIBB virgin during BB!

Where does it say love? If you want to lose your TiBB virginity have a word with L!

[Mrluvaluva]

You changed that! Very funny.

- Would you rather have separate sub forums for each contestant, or just have a 'Contestants' forum. Seperate forums, please.

- Do you want to see Virtual Nominations back? Don't know what they are, but ok.

- Do you want a Tasks forum, or would you rather see task discussion in the main BB8 forum. - BB8 forum

- Any other things/forums you'd like to see BB8 related? Eviction/Nomination show ones? LOL

- How do you prefer seeing live updates? Last year we had a live update thread. Did you use/read this? Yeah, that's fine. But on BBBA they have a BB Live section, with threads for each day of live updates. Personally I think this would be easier.

Heya Mark!!!


- Would you rather have separate sub forums for each contestant, or just have a 'Contestants' forum.
Sub Forums Please

- Do you want to see Virtual Nominations back?
What are they? Like guessing who's up for eviction, if that yes.

- Do you want a Tasks forum, or would you rather see task discussion in the main BB8 forum
BB8 Forum Please

- Any other things/forums you'd like to see BB8 related?
I can't think of nothing

- How do you prefer seeing live updates? Last year we had a live update thread. Did you use/read this?
I'd like a day to day live thread so its easier to read.

[MarkWaldorf]

Yeah, a day to day thread would be better. It'll be easier to see updates from that day.

(Who was the hi to? LOL!)

Hi I thought you might have meant the admin Mark.

But yeah, the daily threads would be better.

[Ruth*Star]

Nope i meant you because your post was above me
and the daily threads would be easier to read, it makes it more organized.

[MarkWaldorf]

I see that now!
Yeah, it would.

The example.

[Ruth*Star]

Good Find! That looks very organized, i think there should be a forum made to house them.

Yeah, I think they call it Fan Updates. So members can post updates live.

[Ruth*Star]

I really like that idea, it makes it tidy. are you a member on that forum?

[MarkWaldorf]

Yeah, I don't really visit anymore though.

[Ruth*Star]

What is it like? is it a easy forum like here?

[MarkWaldorf]

Yeah, it is.
It's well layed out as well.

- Would you rather have separate sub forums for each contestant, or just have a 'Contestants' forum. 'Contestants' forum.

- Do you want to see Virtual Nominations back?Don't know what that is, but it sounds fun.. so yes!

- Do you want a Tasks forum, or would you rather see task discussion in the main BB8 forum?In the main BB forum.

- Any other things/forums you'd like to see BB8 related?Umm can't think of anything else really.

- How do you prefer seeing live updates? Last year we had a live update thread. Did you use/read this? I wasn't here then.

- Would you rather have separate sub forums for each contestant, or just have a 'Contestants' forum. - Sub-forum, it was a lot better like that during BB6.

- Do you want to see Virtual Nominations back? - Yeah, they were great during BB6 but i don't think they lasted during BB7.

- Do you want a Tasks forum, or would you rather see task discussion in the main BB8 forum? - It should be kept to the BB8 forum, having too many forums for different things will complicate it too much.

- Any other things/forums you'd like to see BB8 related? - Nah, just don't add too many forums. Add enough, the ones suggested ^^ but not too many.

- How do you prefer seeing live updates? Last year we had a live update thread. Did you use/read this? Yeah, a thread is handy. It's easy enough to find out where you are upto with the dates, no big hardship.

[SiMoN!]

i hope you dont make it to much - so it all over the place - because its better when it nice and simple
lol
