Count me in too as a lurker since BB1. (Nope I can't remember how I got here either. But I do know it wasn't long til I was hooked! I remember the TP Angels and Megaphone lady too. And the Banners... I kind of liked being in the "know" and the rest of the public didn't have a clue. I also remember the "cease and desist" letter days! I rarely ever post, just hang out and read wayyyy too much. Too many nights of lost sleep thanks to BB and TVCH!! Most memorable moment was during 9-11.. wanting so badly to be able to tell them what happened. And feeling so very sad for Monica. Wonder if she still has the quilt? Thankfully all of you loyal LF folks & the recaps keep me in the loop when I can't watch. Seems like every year since season 2 my job plans our national training conference right after BB starts. LOL.. several of us gather in the hotel bar and DEMAND they turn on BB... Looking forward to a great season! PS.. I never can remember my stinkin' password either!!

Yes they still have the quilt! Reiki from the Monica thread: Reiki Moderator 08-12-2000 Monday, June 26, 2006 - 7:37 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I got to meet Monica this morning after she was on the Early Show. When I mentioned this site and the quilt she gave me a big hug and said she gets goose-bumps just thinking about it and how much it meant to her and her family. Her cousin's son, who is now 6 years old, has the quilt. They are going to frame it for him. I was here when the quilt was being discussed, but not being the crafty type, I didn't participate in its creation, but I feel like that hug I got was really for all of you who did contribute.

I first discovered this wonderful place during BB2. As an AOLer, I spent BB1 there, not even thinking to look outside of it. During BB2, I would do occasional live feed updates on AOL, but there were very few others doing them and if I was not watching I felt like I was missing things. Someone posted a link to here about halfway through the season, and I discovered the Live Feed area here and was hooked. I don't think I posted any, but I sure read. I was especially riveted to the feed posts and comments after 9/11. I remember checking in here constantly wondering when the HG would be told and when BB would be back on the air, bringing back a sense of normalcy. By BB3 I think I got up the nerve to post a live feed update or two and remember reading Seamonkey's wonderful LFPs each day, and by BB4 I was much more confident to post. I never really participated in the General Discussion area until BB5 (I'm actually pretty shy as a rule), but everyone was so nice and welcoming that I felt right at home. As of this "off season" I discovered the other areas of this wonderous site, and there's no turning back now. I've even had the fortune to meet some of the members here, thanks to Seamonkey. I am forever thankful for my BB and all things TV home and all its members!

I found this site during BB2, but I don't remember if I was brave enough to post or not, but I definitely started posting during BB3!

I found this site during BB1 by doing a search. I think I was wondering about a banner. I watch and have this site open. I don't remember ever really watching live feeds without having BBFC or TVCH open. I didn't register though until the end of BB2 I think. I too didn't realize until last year that you guys all stayed all year long. I remember them having to shower before 8am (I think it was) if they wanted to have hot water. I remember Curtis doing the TRINTON dance. Doesn't it just seem like yesterday.

Wow!! The show hasn't even started yet, and already you are all making me feel soooo much better. I've been here on and off for forty forevers and like so many (and this is why I feel sooo much better), I keep forgetting my stoopid password. Thought I was the only one..rofl! Our one horse town finally got dsl, so I'm even gonna try the live feeds again. Thanks to the members and mods who make this the bestest place to be!

I started watching BB in it's 2nd year. I didn't come to this board until BB3. I can never remember my password from year to year so I have to get a new name each year. In BB3 and 4 I rooted for all the people all the other posters hated, was accused of gloating when Danielle lost, had to walk on eggshells around the twin fans in BB5- ect. I only came into my own last year when we all seemed to be on the same page in our opinions of the Friendship. I was sickened when Maggie won but at least this time, so was the majority of posters. I'm looking forward to this season. I don't think any of the hg's will be able to get away with much because the others are aware. It should be interesting.

I've watched BB since day one. I found this site season two and have been coming here ever since. There were a couple times I had to re-up as it were because of one reason or another. Last year I think something went goofy with the site, they lost info.. Anyway, glad this is starting up again.

Ryn - I got my webtv the last day of '99, so you are probably right about when I came here! I don't ever remember - but then there is a GREAT DEAL I don't remember - it being the BBFC, so apparently I got here after that!! I came by way of Survivor, but which one???

I can't remember when I found this site. My memory is horrible. I may have lurked during BB2 and then I began tentatively posting during BB3 which was my favorite season. I had to re-register here last year because I forgot my screenname/password. I love the Clubhouse best of all becaus it is a kinder, more helpful site than others, and I love the Live feeds. I wish I could do them, but I am a terrible typist.

Hi all, Im a diehard Big Brother Fan, been lurking here since the very first season. BB1 During season 3 I actually transcribed feeds in the live feed forum. This is my favorite BigBrother board. I am patiently waiting for BB7 Allstars to start.

I think we all are Tri. I am amused to see people worrying about who may get in or not. Sometimes the posters are as much fun to follow as the house guests.

Well, I Was Here When.... ...when Neil was spreading the word about this Web site in an AOL chatroom a couple of weeks into BB1. The board was so much more fun and relaxed back then.

I came here right after the first board was put up and registered. I remember that the board was really blue and it was hard for me to navigate because I was still new to the whole net thing. I couldn't figure out how to post. Even though it seemed like there were some fun people, I couldn't talk to them so I went looking for another place. I found AOL chat rooms and quickly ran from them screaming. After the first week of the show I had talked my friend Kady into watching it and she too was looking for places on the net to talk about the show. She kept telling me about a board and so I went to check it out. Well, I didn't recognize the board, but I recognized all the names posting. They had changed the format and it was much easier to work. I'd forgotten my password so I re-registered under this name. One of my best memories of BB1 was the Angel missions. I remember waiting on the edge of my computer seat most of the night for the latest update on our Angels from Fruitbat. I totally loved the first season of BB and I don't think there will ever be another season that can even come close in comparison. Now, my memory can be faulty at times, but as far as all the fond memories of the "fun and relaxed" good old days - I can remember a lot of heated discussion, lots of needed moderation and lots of hurt feelings even back in the very first season on the board, but the good thing about this board is things always smooth over in the end and the "haters" can never drag it down.

I've been lurking and rarely posting since BB1 too. The day I was hooked on the feeds was the Saturday that Chicken George tried to get them all to walk out of the house at the same time. From then on I don't like to be away from the feeds at all.

I've been lurking since BB1, I got addicted to reading the live feeds thread for BB2 (when Will was driving Nicole crazy...literally), I've been around ever since. I love Bunny's recaps...so funny! Now I enjoy it with my Sweetest Cin

Well, I Was Here When....Big Brother made its debut on radio. All of us used to sit around the family room by candlelight, trying to imagine what the houseguests looked like. Our family ate peanut butter and jelly, hummed the theme song and we all slept in the same room. After the show, I would fall asleep on the couch, but one night, I saw Mom and Dad in the backyard, giggling and making funny noises after we were supposed to be asleep. I could have sworn Mom called Dad "Kaysar", but I'll never be sure.
