I think traffic here does pick up on eviction nights, but I do notice this BB forum is a lot quieter than usual. Maybe the majority prefer to post on twitter now

No it hasn't, people have had loads to talk about. You're just making things up just to make it seem like things have become dull since she left........that's pretty sad to be honest.

It's dead. Old BB's the forum had gone into melt down with the dreaded error 404 message, that's only happened once this series. Old episodes if I started a thread it would be on page 4 by now due to more threads being started/replied to.
Stop making things up and pretending it's still busy.... that's pretty sad to be honest.

Compared to previous years, the forum has been quieter. It used to be that there would be a page of new threads posted while I was reading just one. Now threads move much more slowly which is not such a bad thing.

Exactly. Hopefully that is because this is a fairly boring BB and not because forums are dyeing. BB needs to pull it's finger out and soon.

Nothing to do with Farrah leaving. The forum has become increasingly quiet since the demise of proper Live Feed. In those now distant days, people visited the forum throughout the day and evening to catch up even if they were unable to watch LF. The WHATM thread went for 24/7 and often generated a couple of hundred of pages over a 24 hour period, and there was a constant stream of other threads being started in response to house action. Threads could disappear off the front page in minutes.

The demise of LF, the increasing meddling by BB, the increasing need for generating daily conflict as opposed to allowing situations to develop naturally, and the almost staged days to ensure a daily highlight show, have all contributed to a change in the way BB/CBB is viewed and thus commented on.

Yes the old days were busier. That was when BB had a far larger audience than it does now, That was before it was dumbed down with trashy, self centred contestants intent on dominating air time with fake arguments and confrontation. The rot started with Speidi - it's properly sealed now with the likes of Jenna and Farrah.

Yes, we all know it's a lot more quiet on here compared to the past, but it's just as active NOW as it was when Farrah was in the house. That is the point i was making, i thought that was pretty obvious to be honest.

This is 2015. Not 2005.

There are so many social media areas to post CBB thoughts.

Twitter, Facebook, as well as other forums.

It wasn't obvious to me.

Back to the OP. This forum has been less active all year. I barely post now and I can see that some of my favourite FMs don't post as much either, which motivates me even less.

I remember the good old days and so many of the great posters no longer even login here. We all used to laugh hysterically and it was a place of great camaraderie and fun.

The problems are there are so many people who have no idea how to communicate with others, they are rude and ignorant, and that drives people away. But the main problem is the misanthropy on this whole forum. Its legendary across the media and utterly notorious. It's common knowledge that if you want a negative opinion just visit Digital Spy.

And that's a shame. Look at how many negative post there are on the first page today. It's brimming with anti James posts and Austin hate.

So people have gone to Facebook pages and other forums. I myself have had Facebook group just for Big Brother and it's loads of fun as it's only really for like minded people who don't want to slag off every element of the show.

I agree when Farrah was in the House there was 10 threads with her name on it on the front page one day. I think people liked disliking her and now BB have manipulated her out there is less traffic about her although she is still discussed.

Forums in general are dying a slow death because so many migrated to Facebook and Twitter.

There have been threads, saying how quiet the forum is, since before CBB started. Plus it can't be anything to do with Farrah as, if she was so popular then she'd have made the top 4 on Friday.

It is not all about her being popular in fact the opposite the majority of the posts about Farrah were negative but the point is she was very heavily discussed because she was a great h/m and caused more traffic on here than any other h/m by a mile. If you go back a week and look at how many posts had her name on it compared to Natasha or Bobby I would estimate there was 10 times more for Farrah that they 2 combined.

To say it is nothing to do with Farrah is just untrue imo, she was the dominating feature on this board when she was in the House like her or not.

She's up there in my most annoying HM's of all time list along with Helen & Perez. I still don't think the forum is quieter because of her departure. There's still plenty to talk about.

Yes - it's almost what you'd call civilized
