The caps thread did morph into a min-transcript thread. Either we view this as an "it is what it is" situation, or we define the threads. Everyone brings a different dimension to the table. I honestly don't have an opinion. Several seasons ago I started a thread called "Screen Caps, House and House Guest Photos" or something like that. My intention was to get the visuals for that season going, as it was before the feeds started and the BB buzz and cast photos were just getting going. That thread continued during the season with feed screencaps and other fun stuff. My particular skill (heh) is in taking a cap and getting it posted quickly. Usually it's something funny or bizarre and since I am running my cap through Photoshop and getting it posted, I've missed the key words in dialog. My brain focuses best on one task at a time. LOL So I'll continue in that particular tradition this season in the caps thread. Looking forward to a fun winter BB!

I also enjoy the caps from Bonza. So many people do such a great job with caps I've never taken the time to learn how to do them. My schedule is all over the place, but most time I would transcribe late nights when there were not a lot of posters. Many times not much is going on, but every once in a while you get there on a good night. I agree with youtube the transcripts don't seem as important as they used to be, but I've always found them great to find out something right away when I don't have access to a live feed. Even if videos are posted, they are usually far behind what is posted on the live feeds. Getting married a year ago has taken a lot of time from transcribing. My wife is not a Big Brother fan, so I know she won't be thrilled the show is back so soon.

the previous comments are not entirely accurate. I was told specifically NOT to do screencaps in the Live Feed Thread. BUT then I noticed other people such as Seamonkey were doing lots of screencaps there so I started to do them too. but slightly less then in the appropriate thread. However, as far as I know, we are supposed to LIMIT the caps to just a rare cap unless something terribly exciting is happening on feeds. I remember my dialup days. It takes forever to load a page when Pics are all over the place. Out of courtesy to readers, I primarily stuck to the appropriate thread _ screencaps_

I will try to do some live feeds when I can. I have always tried to put what they were saying and not give my own personal commentary. That is jus the way I personally prefer to do it. I enjoy the screen caps, but please remember some of us are STILL on Dial up and it takes forever to load those pages. Please keep that in mind.

I like live feeds and screen caps separate. Two different threads to savour. Too messy otherwise. IMHO.

I like to skim over Live Feed Transcripts quickly. Especially when I've missed a few days. I do love seeing caps of the Competitions and 'special events' that sometimes happen though. It makes it way more fun.

I have live feeds and tried a few times to do posts in the lfp area and was HORRIBLE at it. It is NOT an easy thing to do and I applaud all who take the time and energy to keep everyone updated. LFP ius the first place I go when I have been away from the feeds for a period of time, its a great way to catch up. I shall try to help out year (since I can now pause and rewind))and am haping it won't be a difficult as I found it to be in the past..

I too give kudos to the live feed posters. I am also terrible at that so I take screencaps instead. I am looking forward to snapping away. I can't wait, lol.

I'm sorry, I can't right now. Too much noise in the house right now, all I'm really catching is bits and pieces.

If there's anyone up watching and would like to try live feeds, your help would be appreciated. I only have SHO2, so I can't help anymore. Thanks.

There doesn't seem to be anyone covering at all right now and I have to leave for an appointment shortly so I can't even half-pay-attention... any coverage would be great.
