It was quiet long before Farrah left I don't see any discernible difference pre or post Farrah. I posted this on Sept 6th
,,,, I am calling it official. The forums are definitely quiet. Its a grey Saturday morning, there was a BB eviction last night and 90 minutes of live feed with some action and the aftermath of some sort of fracas. I posted on a thread to do with homophobia an hour ago. Its the sort of thread that once raced faster than you could read and respond. Now I am not saying my post was terribly controversial or of earth shaking interest but the fact that I am still the last contributor to that thread over an hour later I do think is significant. Plus the thread untouched for an hour is still in the top half of the front page. I put it down to a number of factors. BB isn't what it was. I struggles to get much beyond a million viewers even with 5 showings of each HL show. Those of that have stuck it out know we can't really interpret what we are seeing because there is just too little information. The manipulation and general nasty tone of recent years also I think puts off many posters. I also think this is in part down to DS itself. The various technical issues which have made it difficult to post at all at times are likely to have impacted some. If you have a burning point to make and you can't easily type it into the reply box or scroll the pages etc its likely that the burning need will decrease. before you manage to comment Plus the tone of the forum is not what it was. Many of the more considered posters are absent. This means that many of the threads are just people waving a flag for their preferred housemate or waving one against. Since neither are open to alternative points of view there is little point entering into a debate. It just becomes a tis/tisn't type squabble. I think it significant that a number of posters from the past have put in an appearance to leave their condolences regarding Wonkey Donkey but have not been tempted to contribute to open threads. One would assume either they are not watching the show or none of the open threads have piqued their interest enough to join in. |

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'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. |

It is quieter here than in the past. I put that down to the programme being less popular due to producer manipulation and the format dying a slow death.
There are so many 'reality' shows around now that the whole formula has been diluted to produce weak and formulaic rubbish in many cases - in my view of course.. TV in general is less popular due to various influences, including Youtube. Cheap TV really has become 'cheap' TV. That's progress! |

I simply cant believe that people will not admit that this forum has a lot less posts since Farrah left.

I liked the Channel 4 forum. But it did get to busy at times.
Then alot of us went over to GaGaJoyJoy, But hardly anyone goes over there now. I didn't want to join twiter. So I came here. Like it here. Remember quite alot of members from channel 4 on here. |

I think you feel it's less because Farrah is not being discussed - thee's still plenty of discussion out there - it's just not about Farrah anymore. The forum has moved on. |

Post at the bottom of page 1, as I type, it has not been commented on for 2 1/2 hours in days gone by that would be on page 10.

That is probably the best measure along with the viewing figures on the h/l's show over the weekend.

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.

It was obvious. But you could have made the point just as plainly without resorting to having a dig at the OP. That was uncalled for.

Post counting results are in... Are you excited? No? ...oh... Well I'm going to tell you anyway.
Last weekend between 10pm Friday night and 1am Monday morning there were 8680 individual posts. This weekend between the same time period there were... 7851 posts... In total there were 829 posts more last weekend than this. Now... What have we learned? |

The main give away that CBB has become boring and that the forum is less active, I think, is indicated by the fact that posters seem to spend more time having a dig at one another than commenting on the show/housemates nowdays. There's always been disagreements and opposing opinions but it goes way beyond that now.
