DS is good.But it doesn't have the same 'friendly feel' to it as C4 or this place.

I wish this place or even DS could be like it was in the good old days of C4.

Exactly right

The people on the C4 forum were nice but it wasn't exactly smooth was it?  I remember constant melt-downs when it took an age to post or even to refresh.  Then towards the end they closed down overnight so night-owls were left in limbo.  Ga Ga seems to work much better, although I must admit that I haven't been here for ages.  I was drawn back to see what people were making of the latest CBB hooha.

True,C4 suffered the fate of death by a thousand cuts.People had been there so long and made so many friends they were trusting.

The midnight shut down was the beginning of the end.We just didn't know it.

I got permanently bopped a week or so before the end for nowt.I knew then the Mods had lost the plot, and if had continued in it's out of control state,i didn't want to be part of it.

Bit of a football fan, or should I say Glory fan!!


I remember asking him about football teams and at the time he said he supported:
Man United (champions of England at the time)
Barcelona (champions of Spain at the time)
Lyon (champions of France at the time)
Inter Milan (champions of Italy at the time)
Bayern Munich (champions of Germany at the time)

I'd imagine at the moment he supports pretty much the same group of teams, but maybe the French and Italian teams will have changed now

Some of the names mentioned are a real trip down memory lane.  I remember Capt. Vimes and AFC Womble (who behaved disgracefully at a final night party we had, but I won't mention that).  And then there was Baby Bunny who I tried to rescue when she was kidnapped by the Blue Sponge Brigade, only to discover that she had defected- perfidious creature.  Cinds was the lifesaver in those days, always appearing at the appropriate moment with the drinks trolley.  Ah happy days (I've still got my collander)

Its weird being called Mike by everyone when my name is actually Simon but it just stuck and was good fun..... 

 

ooooooooooooooooooooooh  *penny drops*

 

Now I get it.

It took me a while too, Ells.

don't get it

Think of it as 3 words.

First word - My

3rd word - Long

 

I'll let you fill in the 2nd.

 Not with Bebble, do it with Mike's user name. Don't say it as two separate names, as in Mike Oxlong, say it as three words - my  ...... long.

I joined during the Jade/Shilpa CBB after lurking for a while. I really miss the old ch4 forums. Initially I was called darkandbeautiful lol, then I got bopped and changed to my current name.

 

I miss the whole vibe and how you could sign on at 2am and still have a good chat with anyone.

 

There are so many names I cannot remember but one girl I remember is the one that used to talk about her thighs and hot pants

 

Do they know this place exists? I know times have changed and people have grown up but it would be nice to have that community again.

I still miss Smiley like mad

 

Black Horse and Horsepants used to have me sniggering away.  They were very funny and when Toots would rock in and the three of them together were pure filth  

 

The forum turned absolutely mental towards the end.  I got involved with people I wish I never did, you think the trolls were bad, but the worst were the kind that were cracking on like they were your best mate but backstabbing you to all who would listen, they were the real psychos.

 

I took it all really serious back then...I've grown up too

I didn't know you were D&B!!

I told people at the time. But I was so naive and childish then and I cringe at what I said back in those days. I have grown up now hopefully

I remember you, you fancied Cheryl Cole right? Yes that was the beginning of the end, I cannot say I blame them though as the trolls were crazy and paying moderators for forums they didn't need was not in their budget.

I lurked during BB7, then joined during BB8 when Carole wound me up so much, I just had to vent, and soon became an active member of the C.R.A.Ppers under the leadership of our lovely and funny SuziQ (r.i.p).

 

The final days were mental, but the final morning I remember someone made a LIST, can't remember who it was but it was made quite clear that they hated almost everyone. And then the frantic posting to see who would get the final word ever posted on there.

Terribly sad isn't it. Suzi Q's spoof eviction interviews were a scream and a real highlight of BB. She was a true comedienne.
