But will Tibb allow that?


I tied on the Guardian
to make a one-off payment
they refused
wanted it every month.


That made me Angry

A one off payment
is bloody better than Nothing



So Die Guardian

Have I missed another part of this discussion, other than this thread?

As to the questions asked by the poll, no, I wouldn't pay anything to keep this place going. There are times when I would have gladly contributed, but the forum is a comprehensive lesson in mismanagement.

Failure to address long term issues of bigotry have seen lots of members leave unnecessarily. Lots of those members didn't particularly like me; in some cases I felt that was a shame, in others the feelings were pretty mutual, and some I just really liked. But they brought different perspectives, and created movement. Currently, I can check in every couple of days/weeks/months/whatever, and I know one of the 5 post templates of LT will be spread across the forum (Muslims/black fathers/blacks in general/trans/communist lefties). TIBB expected young people to stick around after BB to read this stream of nonsense. Not hating on LT, either, because just like Aesop's scorpion - it's just his nature, and it's not his fault it's been not only allowed to happen, but actively defended by those with the power of Admin. I actually think LT would be a good dude to anyone that knew him IRL, and I also don't believe he believes half the stuff he posts - it's just for reaction.

I pointed out years ago, that unless this was addressed tibb would end up being little more than a tibb version of MSM for the permanently aggrieved by modernity, and well here we are.

The Sandra Bullock birdbox infraction system would also have to be scrapped, because no one would give £10/month (as an example) to tibb, to then be banned for 2 of those weeks.

There was no need for tibb to be where it is now, and if it is close to going under, then that's because of choices that were purposefully made.

It's just the free market doing it's thang

Tbh I don't know about paying for TIBB, but I definitely am up for alternative ideas for if the site does shut down one day.

And I get where Slim Reaper is coming from to a point, but tbf to LT I would say that I think that any of us that regularly post on here bare some responsibility for the Forum's decline in popularity, because for some reason or another we're not drawing new people to the site, and have even lost members over time.

Yes controversial Political topics definitely doesn't help, which I feel like a lot of us have contributed to that problem tbf.

And I don't think that we've necessarily managed ourselves very well since BB ended on Channel 5, we've kind of struggled to deal with BB's lack of mainstream popularity.

I still wonder if we should rebrand as a general Reality TV Forum, what do you guys think?

I was talking about tibb from a business perspective, and why there's very clear and obvious reasons for the site not doing as well. Namely, throwing over half of your previous customers over board to protect a tiny fraction of reactionaries, that the site is now almost exclusively wedded to, will never ever be remotely close to the front page of any business plan.

The fact that you've had to try and make that about me wanting to be more popular, shows exactly why a grown up discussion isn't for you, lil homie

I agree with some of your points on the political posts but you've got to remember that Big Brother was off the air for five years, and people were looking for something else to talk about.

It could have been (and a lot of it was) about other TV, general and personal topics, but they also chose to post about political issues, and politics is divisive.

It probably not for the best that we have it on here, and it obviously puts some people off it, but it is tricky to say we are going to disallow it and drawing the line is tricky.

I am pleasantly surprised that the forum has kept going, even when Big Brother wasn't on, and when it came back others returned. Also when I think about it the friendships and community that have been created over the entire history of the forum is something to be proud of I think.

Another thing is people might not be aware of is all the drama that has gone on over the years, not just in the last few. Ridiculous stuff in some cases.

Well I love TiBB its the only place I post, I am not on any other forums, at times I think people take it a bit too seriously I can add myself to that list, but not so much any more I find it funny that LT is constantly singled out for comment, say what you like at least he starts threads and contributes, whether people like that contribution or not is neither here nor there, people say they don't want an echo chamber but I think that is exactly what they want with only their own views coming back at them

Its amazing that the forum has survived BB being off the air for so long

Yeah I'd say the biggest factor in the forum losing members is that it's dedicated to a TV show that everyone thought had been cancelled for good nearly six years ago. When that happened we were only going to lose members and not gain them and its natural for some people to fall away, life changes after all. Traditional forums like this are also a declining form of social media and most people use other websites and apps to discuss things these days

I agree with James that it was a pleasant surprise that the forum stayed active after C5 axed BB and it was great to see a lot of people return for the ITV series. It's also true that this place endured off the scales drama for years when it had a lot bigger membership. The toxicity was way higher than it has been in the last couple of years

At the end of the day forums are defined and sustained by their membership and everyone is an individual with their own views and posting habits. It's not for us to strictly control everything on here and try and moderate everything to fit a certain mold.
