Chris | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 08:53 am  Neil: I think its GREAT! The positive message (vs. Against individuals) shows you are a class act. Thanks! |
Yankee | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 09:23 am  "We Love You all www.bigbrotherfanclub.com" Great positive idea Can't wait to see it jmo |
Marysafan | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 10:29 am  Nice thought...I am so glad that you are letting them know that they have some support from the public. |
Chrisp | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 10:57 am  I second Dulci's idea, Neil. Is it too late to add the "24/7" to the banner? I think that would let the HG know how popular they are on the net vs. TV, and it would ease their fears about how they are being edited. |
Ryn | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 11:05 am  I think it is too late to change it - neil will not be looking at the board again until its almost time for the banner to fly. |
Jefaubel | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 11:49 am  I don't get the purpose of the banner - these HGs are already full of themselves and think they are on a big hit t.v. show and will make millions once they step outside of the house, so why do you feel the need to fly a "we all love and support you banner" when the HGs already are sure everyone loves them? Total waste of money, except great advertisement for whoever owns the site that is the only purpose I see. Why doesn't anyone fly one banner aimed at each HG individually and say something that would help them, like "According to online polls Cass goes Wed"? Chicken George isn't the only chicken. |
Ryn | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 02:26 pm  35 minutes to the banner!!!! jefaubel, neil is NOT making money on this site - and he did it because he wants to. |
Chris | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 02:28 pm  George just told the other hamsters that BB told them they need to discuss the plane banners when they see them, not just hold it all in. They are having a big discussion over how the banners impact them, and what to do about it. This should make the BBFC banner all the more effective when it flies in half an hour from now. Considering the timing, it might even make it on the show! |
Kiari | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 02:30 pm  I agree GREAT TIMING!!! |
Ryn | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 02:38 pm  How appropriate hat the HG's are talking about the banners right now. I hope they go outside and look when the bbfanclub one flys!!!! |
Katie | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 02:41 pm  I would guess that all he gets is headaches, hassles, and some thanks and satisfaction along with major internet server problems. Thanks Neil! |
Ryn | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 02:47 pm  And his Visa bill next month....... |
Bbfanatic | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 02:48 pm  bad idea!! it makes no sense to me to fly a banner saying we love you all when there is so much hatred on this website against some of the hgs. it is a big lie. great now no one will leave. i was kind of looking forward to that. positive banner =negative results. gee thanks!!! |
Chris | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 02:49 pm  We should take up a collection to help pay for this banner. Does he have a PayPal account? He could put up "donation buttons" like banishgeorge.com has. I'm sure he has spent a ton of money on other things for this board, as well. |
Whatever | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 02:54 pm  Wow, thanks Neil (and everyone) for your generosity providing this website and discussion board. It's a shame you can't profit financially- Paul Romer stated in the CBS interviews on the official website that European websites generated lots of cash for their webmasters- he mentions hate-oriented boards, though. Bomis must be making some money with the ad banners. Ironic that so many of the ad banners are from NBC! |
Chris | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 02:55 pm  Bbfanatic: We may each love different HGs, but each HG has their own fans, even George. There is nothing wrong with that. And I think it has been discussed many times how the "hatred" is for the character on the show, not the individual once they leave the house. We all know that after 2 months of isolation, none of them are really themselves anymore. Heck, I was one of Karen's biggest detractors, but I still wished her Happy Birthday the other day. |
Ryn | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 02:56 pm  ok - its 5 til george looks like he is sleeping - cass is in th ebathroom - where are josh britt & eddie??? Curtis is in the kitchen. so help m eif they don't see this!!!!! |
Kiari | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 02:58 pm  Ryn Britt's out of the house LOL just kidding! Jamie is sleeping |
Kiari | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 03:00 pm  Can you hear it? I keep getting a faint sound but II'm not sure if it's my mind playing with me? Im Excited!! |
Judy | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 03:00 pm  Well Ryn, at least they havn't sequestered them in the boys room! I have been in fear of that all day- since we let the net know ahead of time when our banner is coming!! |
Ryn | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 03:00 pm  ok - i am gonna record the real video stream - which feed shoud I take??? I hope to catch the banner. the 4 screen feed will be too blurry - IF they even show the plane.... thoughts anyone?? |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 03:01 pm  Rmgreco and I both requested to contribute. Neil did not respond back to that request that I can tell. If he does, or someone seets something up, I will contribute. I like the idae of saying something positive AND not being oriented to any specifics in any way (HG or issue specific). As already said, if everyone is included that posts on BBFC, each HG has supporters. I agree that the HGs should be put through some paces, however it's not our job to do so (that's why they made the rule of no outside contact--just so others wouldn't interfere with their plans. |
Katie | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 03:02 pm  Oh they will see it. One of them will have to check it out and when they see it they will get the others!! I think I hear a plane! |
Kavman | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 03:02 pm  Just wondering Ryn which program do use use to record the streams? It's not built into realplayer right? A web address or anything would b nice Thanks Waiting for the banner =) |
Ryn | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 03:03 pm  LOL did i say britt?? ROFL Jamie is on th ecouch i hear a PLANE |
