with all due respect, SPYGIRL...live feeds always starts off boring...chatters provided at place for us & live feed posters to poke fun...at the HG's and at ourselves

so far this year,i've seen "fun" threads disappear,...and, i, for one have found this season to start off boring as usual--but also--NOT FUN, and feeling a bit censored...so i will continue to read....if not banned...but no posting from me...

yeah but Reader, that only works with chatting with folks you know, not passing time while you watch boring feeds and sit through long vortex times. Also doesn't allow you to get to know anyone new, so if you don't know em you don't go chat w/em ya know?! And my folder fell off a year or so ago and I never bothered starting a new one cause I always just talked to folks on the main board. Guess my main point is that's not live and group and spontaneous, it more like leaving someone a voice mail! They aren't sitting on the other side answering back.

ETA: To prove my point..just wanted to say Hi to Chkrd and I was too scared to in this thread now. That says it all IMHO. Now taking a BB break!

Did anything thing glitchy happen or I was "wiped" again?

Mummy asked me up thread:
Chy, do we need our own slow thread again this year?

I thought I answered her. I guess that wasn't allowed?

Mods tell her then, please.

Chy, I dunno.

Quick question - is it too late to get a different cast this year?

Wow.. well I respect everyone's opinion - esp yours GAL -

why is it I'm posting more now than ever? Isnt there still a live chat area to chat?

I think the cast will change when it gets smaller... but again, I"m old, its hard for me to care about all 14 in the beginning, I wait till they get wheedled down...

Is there going to be a double elimination round?

I was reviewing Sunday's show on TiVo and saw that on the info the players are competing for $1 million. Is this for real or is it still the $500,000 I always remember?

colour me puzzled!

i figure that amount includes the 10,000 eric can win each time he does a task. If he lasts the whole time period he will make big money.

I guess I see the Current House Happenings thread to be the place to hang out in a group and discuss the feeds...so I don't get all the hard feelings. I would think that diehard BB fans would be thrilled to have a place to discuss what they are watching without having to sort through pages upon pages of non-BB cross talk. But, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, for sure!

FWIW, Spy, I thought I would miss Chatters. But I see what you guys were doing. And even though it's supposed to be discussing what's going on in the house at that moment, it's really just real-time discussions. So, as in the past, I rarely go in there to see what happened while I wasn't watching.

I think people are just missing a place to go and chat about their whatevers. Personally, I'm kinda enjoying the strict BB chat in the non Chatters Current House Haps thread.

Thank you for your support, Costa. It isn't always easy to adapt to new stuff, so we certainly appreciate that you can see our reasoning. It really is an effort to be better, but we know not everyone will be happy :-(

Question: After the nominations on Sunday's show, Kail said she had another reason for her noms, but didn't say. Someone hear mentioned that they'd heard her reasoning for the nomes (besides the "you did the worst in the HOH comp" thing). Does anyone know or know where I can read what her other (or real) reasons were?
costacat thinks the real reason is that Kail wants to be the ONLY woman in the house and will systematically try to get rid of each and every other female before she ever votes for a man!

Just for clarification purposes, Eric does NOT get $10,000 for EVERY task he completes. He gets $10,000 for EVERY FIVE tasks he completes. According to the rules on their website, Eric can earn $60,000. There will be 29 tasks. That will be 6 sets of 5, times $10,000 which would be a grand total of $60,000.

Sun, I was talking about my one post answering Mummy's direct question. I'm not sure if some glitch took away posts or if mine wasn't appropriate. (Now this one would be deem inappropriate...)
I'm not trying to talk about mods, but:
If I wasn't supposed to answer her Q, could the Mods please let her know? I don't want her to think I'm ignoring her. We had a lot of fun last year.

I don't mind the no discussion thread. I don't mind the Current Happening thread either.
If I have time I go to the Feeds plus the long thread and sort things out.
When I'm busy, I check with the no discuss thread. But it's rather bare this year...

are you sure it was in this thread chy? and that you saw it posted? I have my account set up to preview all posts first and sometimes i forget and think that i have done enough and then i come back later to find that i never actually posted at all.

Just a thought....though i know things to go poof around here too

Not that I'm questioning anything, but if it had something to do with moderating, it's possible the mods removed both the Q and the A.

and for what its worth...cause i do like to ramble...i too am enjoying not having the chatters thread this year. I think that once the house gets more exciting that there will be more posting going on...but there are plenty of places on this board to share whats going on in ones life and talk to/get to know one another...without mixing it in with BB stuff...causing pages and pages of info to weed through when you are just trying to find out what you missed while you were away from the feeds...oh and there is always that fun filled "chat" thingy ya know
theres my ....don't say i never gave ya nothin

Chy, do we need our own slow thread again this year? We haven't killed any threads yet, but what the hey......the title would bring us slow posters together.

Yes, Eris, I did answer it here. I found the Q here, I posted my A here.

I can't use the chat it freezes my computer.
I do miss the chatter thread especially at night since i'm a night owl.

And it has bothered me that there just isn't anyone here posting even mid day.

Now I don't mind the happening thread and it seems that the mods are being pretty lenient with us as long as what we talk about is BB related.

Kale, my old pc had that problem. Now that I have Road Runner plus new pc, I'm disappointed I still can't take part.
I can't read the chats in the chat room fast enough. Always too slow to take part. That's why we did a "Slow thread" last year.
