Suebee | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 04:46 pm  I think that was truely thoughtful of you to have a plane fly over to bring some good news for a change. I think thats just what they needed to lift their spirts. After all the talk about the walkout!!!!! You should be very proud of yourself BBFC. I keep telling everyone thats the best site in the WORLD From Sue Bee |
Bbfanatic | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 04:46 pm  i feel a little 2-faced. we love you, just dont read our message boards. |
Rivitedbbfan | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 04:51 pm  I am so happy that they felt good by seeing the banner. I hope another BBFC banner will be done too. Wouldn`t it be great if the house members actually remember this web site and sign on here after the show ends? That could be SO interesting and a lot of fun. Keep it up, and go for another one! |
Jombie | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 04:55 pm  Neil, you should be proud...again you have provided true joy and happiness to all!!! Yes, you got your $$ worth, the plane flew for an entire hour...AND when I took the film in to the 1-hour (out soon...) the photo lab guy was a BB fan also - he never misses the show !!! Way cool!! I will send you the photos in an email in an hour or so, as I've not used my scanner yet, and I need to read the directions...Thank you again !!! P.S. The photo guy also asked me if I was CMG!!! HeHe...I fotflmao when I read your post Judy !! I would do it you know...Jombie |
Katie | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 04:58 pm  Yes Neil, Now would be the perfect time to start taking contributions! I like the idea of participating in a banner but I WON'T with a negative one. You have good taste in messages. |
Judy | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 05:00 pm  OK JOMBIE - what do u say guys?? Do we want a CMJ (Crazy megaphone JOmbie)? |
Katie | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 05:02 pm  P.S. The photo guy also asked me if I was CMG!!! HeHe...I fotflmao when I read your post Judy !! I would do it you know...Jombie That would be so funny. It would take them off guard. I wonder what would happen if a couple of people were calling messages to them and then took off in different directions. Security would be going crazy trying to keep up. It would be "They went this way. No this way. No I am sure it was this way" |
Bbfanatic | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 05:19 pm  i was just reading live feeds from "after" the plane flew over. brandyyyy is great at posting, but at the bottom she said something about it being boring. i hadnt heard or felt that too much over the exciting weekend. i guess the banner worked. we now have a lovefest again. just what i was looking forward to |
Ryn | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 05:33 pm  Heya Jombie - the default file size on the scan might be HUGE for net purposes you might save as a JPG - not a BMP (which is usually the default) - then send neil copies of the actual photos in the mail. JPGs are much smaller file size wise and for all our monitors we will never notice the difference. |
Admin | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 05:39 pm  bbfanatic:whatever Jombie: I hope you get doubles and snailmail me a set!!!! I will post the scanned images somewhere too... everyone else: I'm thinking about another banner, but the HG's are getting tired of them I think. I think ours was perfect timing. Bomis and I have been thinking about a funny one, 'Chiquita lying to you in the RR, banchiquita.com' or something like that....something that just makes all the negative banners looks like a joke! We might just take up contributions if there is interest.. |
Jombie | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 06:29 pm  Ryn, you got that right !!! In order for these small 4x6 shots to work well enough to see, I need enlarge and use 9600dpi, and I don't have enough room - even with my 2GB !! I will have a set enlarged so we can put them up, and I will still send Neil the first copies !!! OK, so I forgot all about the fact that the banner would be waving in the wind, so almost all of them came out blurred...I have only 3 (Thank you, God) that came out clear... Jombie |
Snydlght | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 06:38 pm  Admin, I think that is a fantastic idea, just what the house guests need! I love it I would contribute.   |
Zelda | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 06:43 pm  Made me feel like ... hey our family says hi to your family. It was great! Thanks Admin. and especially Neil for everything you have done to make this board (outlet) possible! |
Kahlua | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 06:51 pm  And the nice banner was sent by a Canadian, eh? That's completely fitting - we are the nicest country in the world.... Great job with the banner - it's great to see them all happy. I love the idea for the Chaquita is lying....banner. That made me laugh. |
Judy | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 07:02 pm  CHIQUITA BACK STABBING U IN RR BANISHTHEPUG.COM I IT! Paypal good for you Neil? |
Enbwife | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 07:10 pm  I just spent the past 1/2 hour reading all the wonderful posts on this thread, and felt very proud to be a part of this fantastic BB site. I laughed when someone said "you people are sad", it's so true!!! Watching the plane fly, and listening to how happy it made them touched my heart. How silly is that? but it's true. If you haven't figured it out, Neil is a witty and brilliant man (I guess that's why I married him) and has a really good heart. I'm totally for flying another banner. It was so much fun to hear Jamie say "I want to meet the people behind that nice banner".... Hillarious!!! |
Admin | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 07:19 pm  I you guys! I was sitting here thinking "Shit, I'm out $300!" but now I'm glad! I'm working on a PayPal account for those who want to contribute towards a new banner....stay tuned! |
Judy | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 07:26 pm  OK that's it Neil - you just gave us permission to say shit !!!! But Dad said it!! Oldest excuse in the book to cuss in front of your parents.     PayPal is easy to set up - just give us your email address(most of us have it already) and the last name you associate your account with. Also first time users get 5 bucks for signing up - so they can send that to you and it won't cost anybody a dime. Except for Paypal of course - come to think of it - they have prob been the REAL financiers behind all the banners!!! |
Judy | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 07:34 pm  BBFC is the subject of their dinner conversation right now. . I think I heard Eddie say that they would all be checking that site out!! They are talking about fan sites now and if they have any |
Admin | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 07:34 pm  Shit has never been on the banned list. Early on, I and the other moderators decided to make it the one exception, just for fun! Funny thing is, nobody ever seems to use it? I live in Canada, I don't qualify for PayPal. I'm figuring out some other options. |
Chris | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 07:36 pm  Yes, and Neil would also make $5 if they use his link to sign up. So PayPal could pay $10, if the new user sends the $5 he gets. |
Psuedome | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 07:42 pm  It's 7:30 PM and and they just mentioned AGAIN How good the banner from Bigbrothefanclub.com made tham feel. Neil you made impact that lasted more than 10 mins -unlike the other banners. I think they love us as much as we love them! Please post how to donate prominently so no one has to dig for it. |
Rwsbetter | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 07:43 pm  "BBFC is the subject of their dinner conversation right now. . I think I heard Eddie say that they would all be checking that site out!!" Uh oh, better clean up our act. "No we really do love all of you...it's just...um...well...you know 24/7 is a lot of time." |
Mjji | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 07:53 pm  Not trying to dampen the happiness around here but while I think it was a nice gesture to make the HGs feel good with that banner (the we love you one), it's just too contradictory with what is going on in this board. You guys are going to set a few of them up for even harsher reality when they later venture out to the web to see the expected "love" from bigbrotherfanclub.com yet get bombarded with all of the criticsm. In a way, this banner is backstabbing them. I know the intentions are good but also remember, sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. Yeah, the "anti" banners like the anti-Jamie banner ideas carry some sentiments that could be hurtful but the girl needs to be shakened up. Once she faces her reality, she can then right all her wrongs and be the person she would like to be peceived as. I also don't see what is wrong with the attempt to warn some of the HGs against false friends and pretenses in that house. Call it a parent wanting to protect their child syndrome. The other thing about the "anti" banners, if you think about it, is that they are the ones that are bringing out best in the HGs in general. As much as it fustrates some of us, the bottom line is that they have rallied together and have supported each other. If the "anti" banners were never sent, I'd wager we'd see a lot more sly backstabbing in that house. Having said that, the PUG/FUN banner does sound like a very good, neutral, lighthearted idea. |
Judy | Monday, September 11, 2000 - 07:53 pm  Shit! I stand corrected! Seriously Neil - if you can't find a good alternative to PayPal - I had forgotten about the link thing too!!! I am sure that one of us Americans can help you - I'd be happy to let you use my infor and or account if it is legal. Email me if I can help. |
