My opinion is along the lines of Glenn’s, but also very similar to Slim’s, I barely post as it is, it used to feel like a big community, and it’s lost that feel a lot, this days it’s a smaller one. (Due to various reasons, some that have been covered, but not exclusive to that)

I used to play a lot of the games, and there’d always be different casts, whereas now every game seems to be exactly the same people playing, so I’m never really inspired to sign up to any of them, or to post much.

I know after posting the other week, a few people said it’s nice to see me around, I’ve not left, I’ve been on the forum most days, I just don’t see any topics I want to interact with, and I know that I could make one, but I’m also not hugely inspired to do that either, so I wouldn’t pay for it.

Whilst I have made some very good friendships off this website, I speak to almost all of them on a different platform now, it’s only really Ammi that I message on here. (And even then, when she left the forum I spoke to her elsewhere)

Do you think maybe having a new sub-Forum would rejuvenate your interest in the Forum?

I dont think this is possible as he wants an echo chamber

I totally agree with this, I don’t think I’ve ever seen any hostility or intent to cause offence come from you Mock.

Dezzy wasn’t permabanned for being offensive

He requested to be banned. Dezzy. Requested. To. Be. Banned.

I don't think that's true. I think any external observers viewing the current tibb echo chamber would agree that they're very bad regardless of who is perceived to be "winning"

Most of the people that left don't really like me much, and that's ok. I'd still rather have them back with a mixture of views.

I don’t think so if I’m honest, I think an influx of new and interesting members, as well as the return of some of the nice ex TiBBers would probably inspire me more. I remember a real change when Kate originally returned.


I’m going to take part in the gorgeous Ammi’s pointless game, and if Niamh brings back top answers, they’re always fun to do, but I think that’s basically it for now, I think forums are naturally dying anyway, which is a shame as I like the format of a forum with topics a lot more than the newer themes of discords.

Okay, that's good to know, thanks.

It's called adding a qualifier. I'm showing that I'm not trying to get all my friends back on here to show why I don't have a dog in the fight.

Whereas I would wager most of your lot would be happy to see the forum shrunk down even further. In fact, one of your lot constantly tells other members to leave, so I know I'm' right on that one, but whaddya gonna do?

I really don’t think (or at least hope) anybody wants an echo chamber, there’s a huge difference between wanting an echo chamber and wanting people to be respectful when stating their differing opinions, but this thread isn’t exactly giving me hope that people are willing to do that lol.

(I very much like the new mention and quote feature though James, very well done.)

I think you should be right, but I don't think you actually are in this instance. I think there is clearly defined echo chamber on here currently.

Folks can either be bothered or unbothered by it, but it absolutely exists.

Alf and LT are not offensive ...

Not sure what you are reading Mock?

I personally like/liked Dezzy, LT & Alf is my point.

Tbh most members that have ever posted on here don't bother me in a negative way, and the two members that have don't really post on here anymore.

oh poor you.....im so sad ... btw I think most people are respectful...there are a few who will willfully point out members who have shared some of their personal lives ..and try and shame them...but I avoid those...and I would advise you to do the same and you will have a safe journey on here...

Oh yeah of course there is the strong foundations of one, but I don’t think any of the people making it that way really want it.

If the few remaining differing voices left, I think the forum would crumble quite quickly, the remaining ones would get bored very quickly.

I’m really not sure what the hell you’re saying or trying to say, or why you are seemingly being hostile towards me, but I also hope that you have a safe journey?

I think my biggest problem is that I try too hard to fit in, so yeah, I agree that I should make more of an effort to be an individual.

Just childish, Cherie.

Given your posts in this thread, I think I’d rather take a seminar on human interaction led by Po from the teletubbies, but thank you for the offer.
