BB10: What is the best way to direct new posters here?

Topics

paace

With BB10 just a few weeks away thousands of new posters will be going to C4 looking for the forums. Most of them will be shocked to find the Forums obliterated and will be lost as to where to go. What do you think is the best way of directing them here?
Someone posted a link to here in one of the blogs, but if you're not familiar with forums the C4 website now is difficult to navigate.

Just been over to the BB website which was quite difficult to find. I looked all over the website and not a word about the forums on there. Its as if they never existed.

It will be interesting to see how this forum performs with 1000+ FM's eager to post during, and directly after, the nightly HL show.

Crazy move on the part of C4. You cannot have a reality show like BB without a forum. Thats why the BBC runs their forums during the duration of Strictly and Apprentice.

I've noticed when you go onto the old forums, where the message is now there are links to Platform4 and The TV Show where they have articles relating to the closure. On both someone has posted links to here, and I've noticed it being discussed on Digital Spy also, so word is about! I found you after all and I missed the last week!

Don't think so. The BB website is there but I could not find it listed.

Well I know 'Dolly' did, 'cos she said that was how she found us all and I believe Gruffyd did as well. And DS know about it too because they helped j0anne find us too. Though I think that was at the temporary place and reading between the lines I think they sent Temps there too, but someone saw her and helped her over here.
