Please use it to post suggestions, comments, praise, and/or constructive criticism to the posters.

Please do not use this area to discuss the HG's or the goings on in the house - thats what the General Discussion area is for

No flaming please, it will be removed. And remember not everyone is going to post the way you like. If you feel you could do a better job go for it (please read the posting guidelines 1st ;)!!!

Thanks again to everyone involved in making this the best BB site on the net!!!

I want to personally thank everyone that posts in here. I receive email every day from people who love this area! This area has become one of the highlights of the Big Brother Fan Club and receives more attention than any other area!

I'm aware of people that are deaf that read this area, people that have older computers and can't get the video feeds, people that can't watch the feeds at work, people that don't have sound on their computers....you name it, their reading!

I've had people I know in person talk to me over dinner or coffee about how 'life like' the live feeds area is, how much you can 'feel and see the excitement like you're right there!' They talk about how this area 'comes to life', and I know what they're talking about.

I just hope you're all having fun!!

Thanks for everybody who chronicles the live feeds on the boards for those of us who can't easily access the live feeds. (I am one of those with an older laptop - 5 years old - inherited from someone else. I can't get the live feeds consistently so I depend on the "latest news" board and I monitor it all day long. I am a barely-employed person who tries to ignore the crush she has on Josh most of the day, and usually is up all night, (sometimes) sipping wine and (always) listening to '60s music and reading these boards. I particularly want to send kudos to Wendo who has the most consistent and readable posts in the middle of the night. Thanks so much to everyone who puts forth the effort!

Your night owl friend,
Charlotte Indigo

Thanks Charlotte, appreciate the kind words.

Also, thanks to all the other live feeder posters here. You all make this site a joy to read. This is my first stop on the net when ever I'm on. Keep up the good work.

Also, I welcome any suggestions, comments, and criticism from the people here regarding my postings to the live feeds area. Anything I can do to improve the content etc. I'm more than happy to do. Just let me know right here!!!

I want to add my thanks to the posters, too. I have to work and I'm in central time zone so I miss lots of time when the HG are awake. I depend on you guys to keep up to date and you're great at it. I really appreciate how well the posting is monitored, too. Thanks for all the hard work.

I play catch-up each night on what has happened during the day. So many of the people posting seem to be concerned with documenting every thing that happens every minute (eg: still baking pies, walking across room etc.). It is much more fun to read the postings like a story. Think of a soap opera synopsis where you tell us what happened, but not with every single detail.
Conversations are great, so are any pivotal points, but the less generalization on the mundane points the better!
Thanks for all your hard work!!

i have no speakers right now, and have to work first shift anyhow, so you guys are my eyes and ears....i would have missed a vast majority of the ongoings in the house if not for the posters. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!! i especially appreciate the non-biased manner the posts are made. makes it much easier to see the hg's the way you see them yourself. please keep up the good work!

F2 - Brat has convinced TheCur to dye (frost?) his hair GREEN (and I'm actually not making this up). Snaggs and Brat are singing (heregoes!) superfragalisticexplialidotious. (really sorry 'bout that!)
Brat is positively excited - dancing around. Snaggs is handling the hair colour that will be used on TheCur. (ed. Danger Will Robinson, Danger!)
(sorry this is so short... gotta fly)

I don't know if I should hate or love the live feed posters... I am so hooked and have not gotten a thing done!Thanks for all your hard work. My Real player is a freak so this really keeps me up on things! :)

I just wanted to let everyone know how much I appreciate all the hard work done in the live feed area. I work during the day and am a mother to two bundles of love and energy so the only way I stay up to date is through the live-feed message board. Thank you sooo much!!!

Tonight was the first time I've read your live feed posts. (My computer locks when I try to view BB.) I was particularly interested in knowing how Karen was reacting to being nom'd, what the little dog was doing, and if the HGs were able to accomplish the pie-eating challenge. You guys answered all those questions for me and you did a fantastic job of recording all the events!!! How you can watch, keyboard, think, and prepare a highly lucid text speaks volumes about your ability/intellect. This is by far the best site on the WWW for daily updates. By the way, I like the "Ed" notes made by some posters -- always good insight. Thanks again for sharing -- you're great!! Badger in Virgina

The Blue dye is on George's hair--will leave it for an hour.

Badger, let me just say it takes GREAT skill ;)

Nah, not really. I know how to type without looking at the keyboard so that helps. Plus, I just got a cable modem last week so RealPlayer has been much more stable. Though, it has completely added to my addiction to the feeds! :)

Hey - a question - I was thinking of putting 1 or two "highlights" next to the dates.

For example "August 11 (Pie Eating Challenge)"
and/or "August 9 (Votes Revealed & Dog arrives)"

they would have to be VERY brief - the second one is probably too long.

Just something to highlight that day.

Your thoughts?

Yeah, Ryn, I think this is a good idea. If you're scanning for a particular event you can easily find what you're looking for. I'm sure many would be looking for the pie eating contest info...

I'd like to second all the great comments everyone has said about the folks who post. I can't get te live feeds, and being aboe to see all the post provides a very real feeling of what is going on. Thanks so much for all of your efforts!!!

Ryn, to your question--I think it's a great idea to provide an "index" of the major happenings.

To Ewing: I appreciate all the hard work that you put into your postings.

I have surmised that English is not your native tongue. If I am wrong, I apologize! If it is true, I am all the more impressed.

Thank you.

To All Feeders: Thanks for all your hard work! I am able to watch the feeds directly, but sometimes it's better to see it through your eyes.

I have posted on live feeds in the past, and found it very difficult. Mostly because I am not able to keep the RealPlayer open while I'm at a website, but also because I have a hard time listening, thinking and typing all at the same time.

Hat's off!!

Thank you all so much. You do a fabulous and difficult job. I would have missed the drama today had it not been for you. And that was nothing to miss! Egad.

I also would like to say very many thanks to all the updaters-you do a fantastic job and provide a great service! I hate to post a 'complaint' sort of, here, but I have a question re Friday's evening updates. The page lists 202 updates, last posting 11.57pm, but when I click on the page, the last update I can find is at 9.40pm, and there are only 175 archived updates, not 202, so there's a gap from 9.40pm until the updates after midnight on the 12th. I've refreshed and clicked around but there still seems to be 27 missing updates in the archives for the 11th. HELP please! Thank you-and this is not really a complaint, just a cry for aid-I just want to know what happened in those missing hours :-}
