Kitt has a most excellent point here:

I know people in the current happenings thread often try to answer questions, but it has little value to anyone but the asker, because the thread moves so quickly no one else will see it.

And then it may get asked again and possibly again and that's when the peeps with feeds start to get annoyed.

Anyways, I do hope that more threads are opened up. Not a tremendous amount as that can be really annoying.

And I wish there was a way to regulate how the discussion thread is being used. Like a way to not let it HOG 90% of the posts, mainly by feed people. I think would really reduce the activity here big time... (Again just my 2 pennies...)

Well I must admit I haven't tried looking for answers there this season, because I gave up last season! I still agree with Julie, that some more longer lasting threads would be really beneficial to the BB section of the board.

Well, again, I can only say that I'm in there way too much, lol, and I've never really seen anyone get annoyed. Sometimes we even cut and paste because so many people DO come and ask. Ha.

For myself, I generally don't visit threads about who you like, and such, but I'll always visit a thread that addresses a specific question and if I have info, will certainly share it.

I think we should change that thread you made about the POV and take the "Russell/Week 1" part out and just keep it POV. That will be relevent every single week.

Come hang out in there sometime, Julie and Kitt. It's a lot of fun! I'll be looking for you.

Oh, and one more thing. When you read in there, it's kind of like having the Feeds. They're talking about what's happening, what's being said, so it's kind of like watching them thru reading. That's what I do when I'm on my Dial-Up.

But that can often take up quite a bit of time trying to figure things out. Like now (cuz kids are snoozing) I can take my time. But usually I only have 15 minutes at best to see what is goin' on. Some days I am lucky to get three minutes.

Julie...here's an answer about why Chima may have been put up.
Jeff is talking to her right now and he said that he suggested her when the Aths got together because of the "blow up" she had when she lost the Haves and HaveNots Comp.
What I know about the "blow up" (because feeds weren't up yet and it wasn't seen) is that Chima apparently said that if she had known she would have to sleep in a metal room like a prisoner, eat slop and have nothing but cold showers she never would have signed up. Apparently this blow up was bad, and I even remember that AG twittered about the "worst loser in BB history"...so I bet that was Chima.
I guess that was why Chima was put up. We'll know for sure tomorrow when the show airs.

Please, ya'll, if you think of threads you'd like to see discussed, start them. The POV thread is a good idea as is the not so important house happenings.

Speaking for myself, I've had little time to watch the feeds and focus on BB since it started. That'll change some next week, but not much. Weekends are tough for me to get online (didn't even turn the feeds on til about half an hour ago) cuz the hubby has to do homework on the weekends. And with the kids on summer vacation, the feeds aren't the best thing to have on anywhere they can hear the sex talk. Hard to post live feeds when ya can't turn them on or have to mute them every 3 minutes, lol.

Twinkie/Julie Re: Live Transcripts
I did them a few years ago and it was a lot of fun to do, and I will try again this year, though I"m working full time but in evenings I will try. I only got my Live Feeds today so I've just been trying to wrap my head around the players and what was happening myself since the show aired on Tuesday.

I think probably with the advent of twitter and youtube which has many of the videos of the HGs most of us just assume people are able to catch the videos. Anyways I will try within the next while to post or contribute what I can. I know WarGod has been great over the years in posting.

Hi BB TVCHer's! Does anyone know if Bunny is doing her Tales on the net this year? If so, do you know her site info? Thanks in advance for any answers.

My take on the Life Feed Discsussion - I'm an outsider - I dont have feeds so I cant add to the discussion - even tho I'd like to join the fun, I cant... :-(

sometimes it has in the past, felt too cliquish. You'd ask a question and be ignored.

for right now, I do know that is the only way to get a piece of the live feeds - I know how hard it is to transcribe, so I do understand why that isnt done the way it used to 11, 10... seasons ago!

so its a change. Change is hard - WHO moved MY cheese?

Reader, try the twitter thing. There are many BB people posting constantly on what's going on in the house. You can make an account, be anonymous, and just follow all the BB people and read to your hearts content. :-)

but Smokey - that's why I come to tvclubhouse... I do have a twitter account, like Julie, I just cant spend all the time on the 'net I'd like - I do like the twit pics - but again, I like the screencap thread here - I think its because I think there is more interaction here than on twitter???

but I appreciate the reminder...

what's on the agenda for the hamsters today?

I can't spend a whole lot of time on here, either. I have the feeds but have only turned them on once, for a few minutes. I just leave twitter open and refresh the page when I jump on here to check email. If I turn the feeds on, I am hooked and won't get anything else done (so only turn them on if I have time to spend)! :-) I also do the same with the current house happenings thread.

I thought you were looking for an alternative to the live feed postings--sorry if I misunderstood!

Nope - (you didnt misunderstand!) I am not sure what I'm looking for!!

Appreciate the tip on keeping the twitter window open - just added more followeringssss... and noticed that some are advertising for their sites... (http://bbdish.blogspot.com/)

Is it possible to do something simiiar here? As in the "overnight report"? On the community forum we had a "clubhouse Tales"

the youtube thread here is great for people without feeds (or even ppl with them in case they missed something)

there is a house happenings thread (no discussion) that might be helpful.

I dont have the feeds but I enjoy the house discussion thread.

Ooh reader, I'll try to think of a good thread title for that and will start that thread--Great Idea!!!

And not sure if ppl with live feeds can understand, but Reader is 1000x correct. People without feeds do feel that the discussion thread is very very clique-ish!!! You can't really know that unless you don't have feeds and you are curious about stuff and want some quick answers/updates.

Okay, off to start reader's thread! (And hoping it will be used often!!!)

Okay, I am late coming to the game so I am assuming that this question has already been asked but where are the live feed archives?

Lard, I don't think there's been enough LF activity to result in any archives yet!

Oh, btw, I am not saying that the discussion thread s/b gotten rid of. Just that it'd be great if it could be "moderated/limited" (can't think of a better word) so that more threads would be opened and regularly used.

I don't want to have to rely on twitter. I don't want to spend time looking thru millions of youtubes. TVCH is where I want to be. I just would not want TVCH becoming a place that people with feeds call home and those without don't...

Thanks Julie. And I agree. I don't have time to search for information either.
