fizzle Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Most of the Replies including mine here are all saying basically the same thing. Thats not really a big problem here - repeating yourself inside Topics is not too bad. The big problem is redundant Topics.. or Topics so similar they are effectively redundant. Granted we don't always search back 5-6 pages to find every Topic before posting a new one, but I think it more when seven nearly identical Topics are posted in the same afternoon and worse yet - by the same person. Whats your take on this Fizzle? Do you agree? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> when i see topics that are nearly identical, i go with one and stay with one. and sometimes the topics are being created at the same time, without knowing someone else is doing the same thing. of course, the person who started THIS thread was nice and to the point and wasnt out to make people look like asses. he reminds me to look up and down the page to see if there are other threads the same as what i am thinking of. you however shouldnt be lecturing people on anything regarding this board. you are not nice and have an even fouler mouth than what you claim janelle has. after reading what you have to say, i was tempted to make duplicate post on what an ass you are... but then i looked up and saw what ranster and kingofreality said and they were so nice about it, so i decided against it. but back to the topic... i think it can get out of hand sometimes, but its like that everywhere you go. all you can do is kindly remind people to try and not do it. no need to call in national security though.

spikes_luv Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I don't always agree with what you say, Shock, but I agree that it shouldn't be posted as a topic over and over and over again.......... (didn't mean yours - meant in general) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingOfRealityTV Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 BUMPING because I see the situation is getting worse... There are 6 busto realted threads and 5 james threads on the front page alone... How about we make one love and one hate thread for every houseguest... One question and answer thread... Things like that... Enough of this anarchy... It is making me cranky, and trust me... we don't want that... Morty I would be willing to pay you if you let me clean up the BB forum...

stellar77 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Here's a free friendly tip... Instead of starting a new thread for every thought you have, how about checking to see if there is already a thread started that relates to your topic... It would make it easier to navigate the forum!! I'm sure it would make it easier for the mod's to do clean up too!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> King do you realize how many pages are on here? Give me a break !! Tell you what since you have time on your hands... clean it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thepikey Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Just a cordial reminder... Before you begin a new thread, quickly scroll through the forums to verify that there isn't already a forum with that topic. It will make the forums easier for everyone to navigate!

Marty Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Thank You for the reminder. After working a long hard 10 hour day I come home and spend about 2 hours going over posts just to make sure when I post it is not a duplicate. Forgive me if I have ever duplicated a subject.

Slowpoke Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Bump ? It usually means a poster wants to bring the thread back up to the top.... so people will be aware of it. - - Like this thread reminding people to try and check to see if there isn't a similar thread that's been posted already.

Slowpoke Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 You JUST DID IT DaisyGirl Just type Bump into your new reply and click.

Guest Syrus III Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Heh, it's not easy to see these things, as I learned earlier today with the 'Revenge' thread. I mean, it had just happened that morning and was already on the 2nd page and I assumed that if it was that recent it'd at least be on Page 1. Of course I was wrong. Talk about an active Forum!

EEonBB Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Can someone tell me what it means when you type BUMP? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It means your fingers hit a speed BUMP. Slow down on the typing a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfgranny Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 People who watch BB tend to watch other reality shows as well. Morty has an Amazing Race forum and even though he doesn't watch Survivor, he started a forum for us last year. I might actually post this year!

DiamondAuraPayge Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 My favorites are Amazing Race, Survivor and Big Brother and I like America's Next Top Model so I'm good for chatting ALL year lol I watch other ones sometimes, but these are the only ones I don't like to miss.
