Thanks to everyone who posts from the live feeds. It gives those of us who have webtv a chance to "see" what's going on in the house 24/7.My addiction is getting satisfied with your updates. Keep up the good work!

The site has obviously been down. If you were taking notes between 3pm & 9pm BB time and want to send them to me - I will compile them & post them as best I can in order. -ryn

The editorial comments seem to be getting more frequent and less impartial lately. I don't do much contributing, but I do enjoy reading the live feed posts, and statements like "My fascination with this insipid show baffles me. Boring beyond catatonia!" really detract from what this board is about. I know there was a previous debate about editorial comments, but...maybe the issue should be raised again?

I will see what I can do - if anything.....
I agree but then I find myself making comments at the same time. The impartial part is the bad part. I wish it could be perfect but I also know there is NO sight out there with the quality of reporting this one has.

Tilde...

I respect that you find it distracting to read the editorials, but I also have great appreciation for those who spend hours updateing us on what is going on in the house, and am not going to complain when someone adds a few of their own opinions! I've tried, and it is very difficult not to make a couple side comments here and there. I haven't really seen anybody go overboard sincce the time I have began coming here. I'm just glad that people are making the effort, and do not want to pi** them off by complaining about the way they are posting.

FYI - people DO go overboard from time to time - or make completely worthless posts. Usually though those posts are deleted before many read th,

Can anyone tell me why, when I read the transcripts of the live feeds, they are sometimes five minutes ahead of what I'm hearing as I listen. Someone will post a conversation and 3-5 minutes later, I hear that conversation.

Elisa, if you are like me and listen to the live feeds for 20 - 30 minutes at a time without refreshing, you lose time. All that "net congestion" that is just delaying what you are hearing. I am guessing that many of the people posting live feeds keep refreshing their feeds pretty often to keep current (or maybe they are like me . . . can't wait to see what's going to happen next)

We now have the gap from 3pm to 9pm partially filled in. See the archives for Monday August 21 for the stuff you migh have missed. We are still missing any record of happenings from 3:15pm to 6pm.

Thanks Gail, that must be what's happening. Sometimes I turn the live feeds on in the morning and leave them on all day without refreshing.

As another webtv'r, i really appreciate the posts in the live feed area. everyone is doing a SUPER job!

One thing that I would really like to see added is a highlights area. One that would specifically show postings of the feeds from the daily challenges and "exciting" stuff.
Just my suggestion. Thanks again to all the live feed posters! You'rrrrrrrrrrre Grrrrrreat!

We keep getting asked about this (live feed summaries) - it would be a ton of work. If anyone wants to - just start a thread in general and if it proves popular we can make space here - or neil would surely set up a special area.

This has been brought up before........but....

First, great job from all live feed posters, and the time and effort to do such a job is MUCH appreciated. BUT...

Please please please, when you are typing out who says what, it is hard to keep track of WHICH "C: blah blah blah) is, is it curtis? cass? or WHICH "J: blah blah blah" is that Josh? Jamie?

maybe use JA JO and CA CU (some of you do but some dont' and it's confusing and I find I am just passing over posts like that now)

Lindarebecca -- Whenever I post to the live feeds, I try to always start each post with a line describing which HGs are present, which hopefully makes it clear who is who when I start using initials.

Like this:


Brit and Josh in Josh's bed...

B "It's, like, so totally wierd, ya know?"
J "Mmm Hmmm"


It's just too hard to keep up when you have to type each person's full name over and over again.

When it's Curtis and Cass, or Josh and Jamie, I still try to spell it out when possible.

Thanks to all who contribute to this site. I spent a great deal of time trying to access the AOL message board. With your note posted there, I gladly switched to your site. It is wonderful to log on and be able to find out what has happened.
When I checked the feed tonight and found everyone in the living room, no sound and no one dancing, I was a bit confused. But thanks to all you fans out there, I was able to get up to speed in no time. This is the greatest site. Great job maintaining it too. Thank you to all.

I have to agree with Kitcat, I am not usually able to listen to the live feeds since they are unavailable at work...and the info on the AOL Chat is generally not accurate and the updates on AOL are also usually thin and old. I have posted ocassionally on the live feeds here when it seems like no one is around (although I think there is always someone just drafting a really great report and is in fact around) and it is really hard to do..I give everyone of the frequent transcribers a great deal of credit and my thanks.

May I ask why Chastity's post at 3:35am this morning was deleted?

She was just reporting what was happening on camera. I saw no discussion or anything.

Thanks again to all who keep us updated on the live feeds...I am enjoying the reports so much, yet at the same time anxious for October to get here so the show will be over and I can get my life back!!!!

Special thanks to Snave, whose posts I always enjoy, and who manages to amuse while informing at the same time. Manages to walk that fine line between editorializing and dry reporting.

Good work.

Gretchen, I moved the post, there is never a feed of the empty yard at night, it was a bogus post imho - if anyone else cares to verify the legitimacy I will put it back - I moved it - I did not delete it.

Oh Ok. I myself did not see what happened. I came in here about 4am and saw the post. I was not sure if it was true or not.

Ryn, just wanted to not only add my thanks for the live feed posters, but to the comments as well! (sometimes the ed does convey the humor that would be missed in just typing what is said!)

And I wanted to post after just reading your editorial, imho, leave it, its a chuckle for the day!!

the editorials are getting a little long and some of it could just be placed on the discussion board.

To some extent I agree with BF But in fact the discussion board is just another step away from the Live feeds and the ocassional ed. comments do add something..I for one can barely type so I would never be able to transcribe and write editorial but for those who are so gifted I appreciate the added humor..often gives it context...in any event I just appreciate the transcription..you guys are great.

There are getting to be more than a few *purely* editorial posts which could be deleted. I know the ones by the regular posters are in good fun, and I've done a few myself, but it does encourage more and more frivolous posts, which seem to be getting more common (i.e. the ":-(" post last night and the "streaker" post the other night). I don't think this isn't something we can ever afford to slack up on, that's why it seems to come up every week :/
