I remember it loads higher than that, hope they find us here!

I remember when it was well over 1000 - especially during Shilpagate. My husband even joined so he could read what was said because you had to be a member to even read the forum.

I do hope those that only post during BB are able to find us.

I hope people can find this forum but I doubt it. How could they find it? Is there anything we can do to promote it?

BTW, hi Suzi x

Hiya KW Hope you are well.

I remmber a night of 4000 it was very annoying you couldn't follow anything

so long as the forum doesn't go sloooooooooooooooooooow

Does anybody know we are here?

I hope when BB starts, a lot of old C4 members will find this site

I think it is hard to say because with the Channel 4 forum there was a direct link with Channel 4 but will fellow fans of BB know where to look to find this little haven for ex Bb forum users. If not, then eventually this little community could eventually fizzle out if new members are not attracted. Whilst at the moment it's all fresh and new to us the future could be very shakey as old forum users move on and new members do not appear. I certainly hope this is not the case and look forward to a new influx with the start of yet another exciting BB series this summer

I shall invite my grebe.

Does your grebe have a name?

Grebe.

That is a hot name

Yes, it is.

Do you have cloaca pics?

I don't wear a cloak. Or a cape.

Maybe a hat?

I have wore a hat on the odd occasion.

All the big grebists have.

They copied me.

They might hack you next

That sounds nice.

Just hope the servers here can cope with the added FMs when it does start... The uploading of smileys/ pics etc.. now slow things down a bit... Hope to see some old friends though when it does start... providing they can find us.. Keep your eyes and ears open and post the link to this new place wherever you think someone may see it...

A grebe is a snot is it not?

Awh I really hope it does!

I know hoochie was planning a webpage with links to where we have all gone. I just tried a google search though and no likely links popped up to show where we are. It is a problem, anybody got hoochie's details to find out the progress on this webpage thingie before the start of BB? Or should we try emailing Eve forums to see whether they can leave a 'breadcrumb trail'?

it's coming along

website link


try googling c4 bbgf - top of the first page

c4 bbgf forum members - 3rd down first page

c4 bb forum members - page 2 fifth down

It really depends on what people would search on, but it is findable ..and I am working on improving the keywords for searching

That's great hoochie. One small thing though, I am sure that many people called the old forum C4 gbbf but I did not and when I googled I just put in C4 forum and your link did not appear at all. Is it possible to have the link come up for just C4 forum? Great job by the way

Hope so .

The way google rates stuff is related to several things and the subject is only one of them - I am finding out that Search Engine Optimisation is an art!

With something like just bb forum it's much more difficult to get to the top because there is so much out there that is on the same subject, and these additional factors that google uses to rate sites - (like links to and from other sites) determines where it appears on the search results.

I can see its far from easy hoochie and more power to your elbow for trying so hard

If it's any help ..........I always used to gain entry by Googling Channel 4 Big brother Forum ......it used to come top pf the page.

Can they not be put in as 'key' words?

I know absoloutely nothing about web design incidentally so please feel free to ignore if this is totally irrelevant.

Soozy - I don't know much more ... I've a lot to learn

I have put C4 Big Brother Forum in the meta description - but so have 3000 other website pages so the other factors I mentioned above come into play

hello, i've found you

Oh thanks for that, its horrible to think that some FM's who only come on the forum when BB starts won't know where to go. They should have left a link on C4 but they couldn't get rid of us quick enough

I think the link to here has been posted on the Facebook BB site
