Yes, I remember this forum as well as BB forum used to be much busier, a couple of years ago. I used to be able to just refresh and there would be tons of new threads, now it takes a day or two before there is a new one.

SCD and X factor are also way down this year by around 50% IMO.

The big brother one can still get very busy during a series, but yes the forums are slowing down year by year

So does that mean that BB is more popular than IAC?

I felt infuriated with this summers ,bear-fest, on BB, as did many but the forum was still busy

I think more people just use social media to talk about the shows. You can say BB and X Factor viewing figures are way down now so obviously wouldn't provoke much discussion but Strictly and IAC are still heavy hitters in the ratings and yet their forums are less active too.

The Big Brother one is nowhere near as busy as in bygone years. It's still the busiest but very slow in comparison. Viewers are diminishing at the same rate.

It just means more people talk about it, there's probably just more uses that come on here specifically for the BB forum

Yes, they are very likely reasons.

I think it's also down to all the hate threads that seem to dominate the forums, if you look they seem to be practically all that there is, where as before you had lots of different threads talking about what happened in the programme but all it is now is calling people bullies when there is an argument, saying someone is a choose one yada yada it gets boring reading the same old crap post after post and some of the posts are can actually be way ott with what they call contestants it's crazy

It's a ghost town compared to 2006. The forum I most visit (Cult TV) gets a few hundred posts a week - and it's the busiest time of the year for new shows.

It's a patch on what DS used to be. There are so many FB groups which are so much nicer with so much more transparency in terms of people.

This. It's just so negative here! The forums might be dying but they're still filled with embittered and damn nasty people. I no longer visit any other pages other than Cult TV, BB, IAC and Strictly. There are simply way too many SJWs and arseh*les here these days.

The forum is a joke sadly. There is no actual debate or discussion anymore as it has all degenerated to kick the bullies out and protect the poor victim. It was as if people couldn't wait to find a victim and a bully. In fact the only reason it has become bullies now is because the one labelled a bully has left early doors so there was a need to suggest there were more. However I'm still not entirely sure who they exactly are which is maybe because it has to be vague just in case they are voted out too and there is no one around to blame

Viewers of BB aren't diminishing, the ratings are virtually the same now as they were in 2011.

These viewers must be watching other things though, as the other forums are empty and dead.. so the question is, what!?

I have watched IAC since day one but I am on this forum much less now. There are just too many "bullying" and "Fix" threads. No-one seems to be able to just enjoy a show any more. X Factor, Strictly and BB forums are the same.

I think people are just more cynical, the producers have made people that way though by keeping the same boring formats and making all these shows too often.

Sad, but when was the last new great reality show?

There is many options, do a sleeping reality show like "shattered" a few years ago, a LOST "island" style challenge, an Amazing Race UK-style.. the possibilities are endless with the right creative minds. Instead it is easy to keep using "safe friendly" shows like little Ant And Dec... too family friendly.

This is the way i see it. There needs to be a victim that everybody can champion while everybody else is ripped apart for being a bully or a try hard or its just a fix. Its the same with BB. Nobody is enjoying it they are just enjoying moaning about it.
