Surely, "Fings eyen't what thy used ter be!"
A lot of the people you seek are having a wonderful time on that Facebook one.

I've never entered the 'FB' zone and don't intend to Garage, so I guess unless I do, I'm destined to be among the few who haunt here.

It does seem a bit flat mind.

You're right GJ, before there were people who were previously on FB and yet it was still good on here -sign of the times? I really don't want to do 'FB' tbh. No reason, it just doesn't attract me.

Hello peeps

Theres nothing wrong with lurking......lol

Ah but do you have to wear a 'Frank Spencer' mac to lurk effectively?

 I wonder how many people are doing the same as you though GMA? I think there's quite a few who tend to lurk rather than post nowadays but if we all start doing that then this place will definitely dispappear. There are stil quite a few of us who are staying here. Maybe we need to be a bit more proactive and see if we can court some to come back over. I know it's a bit quieter than we'd like now but there is usually someone around to chat to and you only need to look at Annoca's thread to see how strong the sense of community is here. Maybe you should give FB a go too. There seems to be loads of us on there now and it's good fun. It's not the same as a forum though which is why many of us do both. If you ever decide to try FB and need someone to guide you through I'd be happy to hold your hand.

It is also quite amusing to work out which people on here are on Facebook too. (I wasn't aware QOTHT was there.   etc.. )

I must admit after being offline for a while I was gobsmacked to get back online at the weekend and see how quiet its become here...if it wasn't for the mindjolt games on FB though that would be a bit boring too

She's there Joe, I don't think I have you there anymore though since they banned my Veggieburger ID and I had to reg as myself!

I don't think you've had me anywhere Veggie, although the old memory isn't what it was.

Lol!! Are your initials DS? If not, then I have you confused with someone else - apologies

Hello

One expects a procession of people who avoid this place like a plague when CBB is on the tellybox. :hope:

it is very quiet at the moment  maybe we should make up some gossip and see if that draws people back

*folds arms under bosom Les Dawson styleee*


Did you hear what that Aimee one did........?

LL!!!

Quick, we've got one! Shut the door!

Hellooooooooooooo

*tiptoes backwards towards open window*

*** boards the windows up ***

It has been quiet but I love it on here and wont be going anywhere elseit would be lovely if others came back, the problems the forum has been having could put others off, I think we have a good forum and more compared to other ones

How nice to see Liverpool Lass in this thread, its been ages

the police didn't have enough evidence to charge me

I think that may be some of the problem GMA..... I think a lot of people lurk cos they think no one else is about.... and it becomes self perpetuating But despite the quiet..... like tonight... I still love it here, and won't be going anywhere else..... even if I have to talk to myself

   this might help  



 

So glad about that Aimee, I would hate to lose you on here

The "OnLine Now" box can be misleading. Quite a lot of people have their preferences set that they don't show if they are on line.
Sometimes it looks quiet, but a post suddenly gets unexpectedly answered, and another.
I am staying here.
There are too many things I don't like (or trust) about FB.
But, as I recall, we often get a quieter forum between the BB TV series. And we often feel disappointed. We often cling on. Then we often get busy and excited again when another series looms.
True it is not hectically (is that a word?) busy. But I like it, like the forum people, like the people who run it, like the sense of community and general good will.
I can't always maintain the pace when it is very busy. So calmer is OK with me.

Had to look it up, and I never linked it to hectic, but yes Brisket ........it is a word

Wow!! Thanks stoory

Like this brisket?

I admit I have been lurking for a couple of weeks because I haven't watched much of CBB this year and most of the threads were rightly about the programme and the housemates, and have had a really bad case of the January blues, but now I will be back posting as I do really like it here, I post on DS, but you get no sense of friendship and camaradie that you get here, so I am back (bet you'll all really sad to hear that!!)

 It's only because I don't want to seem like I'm ignoring anyone if I go off pottering to do something in RL  

Yep... my usual vim and vigour has dropped off for the same reasons I think pink... oooo! I shall call you 'thinkalicious' now!

OMG Pink is back runs to hide quick .......... shit I can't run

I can still catch you Low asthma or not - so behave yourself!!!
