I have tried over and over to reach the C4 site and forum to no avail.

The site isnt accessible through channel4.com/bigbrother or even the longer microsite link on the C4 page and the forum doesnt come through.

i dont think c4 were ready for the amount of people viewing the site, there was over 3000 people on the forum yesterday at 8pm! the main c4 site seems to be working now but the forum keeps going on and off

ch.4 forums not available is not good news.

Means all the little txtspk kiddies will come over here!!!

Welcome to the nightmare!

Go Digital Spy - the balancers obviously work very well and they have managed to outdo Channel 4.

Very impressed

Same thing happens every year... BB starts and the whole C4 website goes to pieces. It'll clear up a bit by week 3.
