Gail | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 12:37 pm  Summer is over and the first USA Big Brother experience is nearing its end. I know that some people will be leaving this board to go back to their normal lives but hopefully, many of you will stick around and keep posting. During the time that Big Brother was on, I became totally wrapped up in watching the show, live feeds (when I could) but most of all, hanging out here on the Big Brother Fan Club board. I’ve gotten so much enjoyment from seeing the show from the perspective of all of you out there and feel like this board is very much a community of familiar people and friends. I know that there are a lot of people who are an integral part of this board and was thinking that this would be a good opportunity for us to say some nice things to each other – like if there was a particular person who’s posts made you think, someone who you made friends with, etc. Just a chance to say something nice to someone or express appreciation to someone and to end things on a positive note. Okay, me first! To the live feed posters – you have my undying gratitude. Lots of people have posted but there are some names (past and present) that will stick in my mind for their dedication to this valuable part of the board: Wendo, TeeCee (where have you been?), Janine, Jana (Jana, I feel your pain!), Karen, Fifi, Noslonna, CackyH, Phantommenace for Live TV show coverage and Max for Live Show Live Feed coverage, Snave (for the laughs) and especially Ryn (for not only thinking like me but for taking such good care of the Live Feeds) To Lisa: Thanks for transcribing the Daily Updates for each show for those of us who may have missed it. To Jim at Bomis.com : Thanks for giving our board a nice place to stay and for taking such good care of us! To my fellow BBFC addicts: Thanks for all the funny posts in the BBFC Addicts, BB Addicts, Help I am an Addict, dreams, etc folders. I found company, support and laughter with your posts. To my fellow moderators, (you know who you are) thanks for the help! But mostly, thanks for the your support and insight. You guys are so great to work with! And last but not least: Neil – not much I can say that I haven’t already said except . . . thanks for bringing us together and all the sacrifices (I know there have been many) to keep us together. And, thanks for trusting me. |
Mlady | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 12:41 pm  DITTO!!! Very well said Gail! |
Kokomo | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 12:45 pm  Hey Avalonsparks! Thanks for telling me about BBFC. Though we live in different cities - we will always share this summer experience! I think it's so funny that we can watch the same shows, read the same threads and have almost completely different opinions about everything that goes on here! Less than a week left....want to make a friendly bet on the outcome? |
Sylvia | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 12:54 pm  Oh YES!!! To all my fellow BBFC Groupies ((((((((((H U G)))))))))) ! ! ! Thanks for participating in this unique "Summer Camp".....hope we all meet at the TVClubhouse!!! |
Singblueeyes | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 12:58 pm  noooooooooooooo!!!.....I'm in denial about the end of the show...and with the end of summer, I'm in denial about impending winter (like any good Canadian) But, I'm sure glad that there was this place, where clearer heads prevail, to come and chat and laugh. If there had been no alternative to the flaming, racist, hate-mongering of the "official" site, it would have been a miserable experience, indeed! THANKS! |
Admin | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 01:05 pm  I can appreciate this thread, but I just want to make one thing clear. I'm not going anywhere and I hope you all aren't either!! Please stay and enjoy the TV ClubHouse which is just about ready to go! I'd like to thank Gail for keeping me in line and supporting me on tough decisions. Ryn for completely and utterly taking the Live Feeds area under his wing! Thank god for you both! Also all the moderators for keeping things clean and respectable, this place would be a hell hole otherwise. You're all very important. My biggest thanks are to each and every person that's ever come to this site. You've made it all worthwhile. I've laughed, I've cried, I've gotten mad....all because of you! Without YOU there would no Fan Club. I am touched when I see people saying 'we' in reference to this site. My goal was always to build a place where people could participate and enjoy the net, feel like they have a place to go and where they really feel a part of. I hope you all feel like you belong in the Fan Club, and don't forget you're all grandfathered in as members of the new TV ClubHouse. Thanks also to Lisa(enbwife) too for putting up with me the last 3 months and to Jim for server space and for 'fine-tuning' a few things. Neil. PS: I appreciate positive feedback, but please don't turn this into a 'Thanks Neil' thread, I don't think that's the goal of it |
Enbwife | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 01:58 pm  Great idea Gail... First, thank you Gail, Ryn, and all the moderators for putting up with so much crap on this board and making it a fun, clean place to hang out. You guys are absolutely amazing! Thanks to all the live feed posters who accurately and thoroughly captured everything in the house when I couldn't stay awake to watch. Thanks to Bomis (Jim) for throwing the lifeline out just when we were about to sink. Thanks to the thousands of posters who come to this site every day and share their thoughts, laughter and spirit all over this board. Thanks to Neil for creating such a great place to spend the summer and putting so much effort into making the BBFC the best place to discuss BB on the net. Thanks to the House Guests for being on the show and letting us get to know you, and to their families, especially the ones who post here, for putting up with so much. Now, after saying all of that, I just want to add to what Neil mentioned above, it might seem like it's over, but it's not really. The tvclubhouse will be here for you anytime you want it, especially when Survivor II, the Mole and BB II get going next year. So, I look forward to chatting with you all then, and thanks once again for the dedication. You guys have become my friends  |
Sundancer | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 03:51 pm  Many thanks to ALL, the founders, the moderators, the live feed posters, the discussion board posters, everyone involved in making this site so great. I have just loved being here, and what I loved most of all is the wonderful, wonderful creative and funny people who have made me laugh until I cried!!!! The show would never had held my interest without this board. BRAVO! BRAVO! |
Zlfd | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 03:55 pm  This was my favorite site of the summer. It made my summer. It made me laugh to the point of spitting out my morning coffee all over my keyboard. Thanks guy's for making such a wonderful site. |
Webrover9 | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 04:32 pm  It has been a pleasure to be here. This has made summer go by so fast but I have enjoyed it. You are all unique and special in your own way and have brought a lot of emotions out of me both good and bad. I probably am one of the oldest, if not the oldest poster here but I have never found that to matter much on any board. I don't always have a lot to say but I have found out that I can learn a lot more by listening than talking. I hope to stay around. |
Ellen | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 04:39 pm  This has been my favorite site all summer. I couldn't live without it! When I was vacationing in August at the Jersey Shore, I had to sign up at the local library for internet access just to catch up on the BBFC. Everyone thought I was nuts. Thanks to all the live feed posters, as well as all the interesting discussions. |
Twiggyish | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 04:44 pm  I am sticking around too. I especially want to say thank you to Rufusgriswold for making me laugh. Chris, for making me think. Remus, for making me want to post an opinion..lol Puttergirl, for her interesting posts Deni-San, for her insight Whatever, for making me (trying to be diplomatic) somewhat mad at times and then other times for making me laugh as well. To everyone else, I enjoy the intelligent thoughtful posts. |
Kuh | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 05:00 pm  I would like to thank the moderators for allowing me to post my thoughts here without censorship. I know I've pushed the envelope, and I have to say, even with the foul haters, this group is heads and shoulders above the others. |
Puttergirl | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 05:00 pm  Thanks Twiggyish and everyone else who has personally told me the last 3 months that they enjoyed my posts. And thanks to all of my fellow addicts on this board for making it such an interesting place to spend time. I was here to enjoy the dialog, so if I insulted or just plain angered anyone, I am sorry, but that was all part of the fun, wasn't it? I bet nobody would believe this was my first experience with message boards (I've avoided them in the past), but I posted to this board just about every day for the last 3 months. A special thanks to all the people who helped to create, maintain, and monitor this board. |
Shayrainb | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 05:13 pm  Thankyou everyone!This site made the show for me!!!It was so nice to be able to come in here and say what was bursting to get out at times!after the show many times,I just had to get in here and se what everyone was saying about the events.Thankyou for the insights and I loved it when someone found something out ahead of time and shared with us.Thankyou again for a great,fun site! |
Juki | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 05:25 pm  Yes this has been a great summer and now I have to go back to doing whatever I was doing before but well keep in touch and thanks again I have enjoyed all the comments and live feeds and have LOL alot each day. |
Jenhavins | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 05:28 pm  I have had a blast reading these boards the last 3 months, and will continue to read and post. It has been a joy and pleasure reading everyones clever and witty insights and opinions. Thanks to all for such a great site! |
Sparkles | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 05:33 pm  (((((((((((HUGS to All)))))))))) "even the Jamie lovers hehe" |
Heyteach | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 05:47 pm  What can I add that hasn't already been said? I was a virgin at message boards until this summer--never really had any interest before. I flirted with the boards at the official site but found them to be a rather nasty experience. (Many thanks to the person who put a link there to this site!) Now I'm a real...hmmmmm...what would you call it? Any way, it's been a great experience and now that I have seen what a great board can be, I'll stick around. Be looking for you all on the new site!   |
Soconfused | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 05:51 pm  As one of the folks who does not have access to the live feeds I want to thank all the live feed posters and moderators for their time and efforts to help feed my addiction! I have been lurking here since the beginning of the show but wanted to finally post a thanks to everyone as the end is near! I have had many hours and days of fun reading the threads and all the love/hate relationships that have formed on this site. Thanks to all. |
Deeya | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 05:54 pm  As one of the newest posters I wanted to add my appreciation.. I've been reading the site for about a month... but finally started adding my comments after some encouragement from Ryn and of course after seeing a thread start that just made me have to jump in... Anyway.. many many thanks to the live posters (I tried it once... and don't know how you do it).. To Neil, Ryn, and every other moderator out there... you have done a terrific job and created one of the best interactive sites I have ever visited... considering that I am an IRC chatter from way back who has always hated message boards as a way of communicating... I give you the highest compliments when I say you managed to drag me away from IRC Chat to spending my time here..(Neil I'll definitely be watching this site as it evolves into the TV Clubhouse) To the BB Angels... thanks for the entertainment (sometimes more than we see on the feeds)... you have added more to this experience than I think we can tell you.. To the posters who agree with my point of view.. let me commend you on your outstanding insight To those that disagree with me... thanks for offering me another view of the house and houseguests I have come to love (and/or not like so much) this summer.. especially when it was done in a debate style.. (Special thanks to those of you who started any thread that ended up in the favorites sections... because those have just been terrific to read)... Finally to Rmgreco.. and MBliving.. it's been great tripping over you two on different threads all week.. I'm sure I'll see you on many more.. |
Admin | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 06:00 pm  Yes, I'd like to definitely thank the Big Brother Angels for their entertainment! For a little while there it was the most exciting and fun thing I've ever seen on the internet! I loved watching the messages get posted into the BB Angels area faster than I could read them...it was very cool! You guys are the best! |
Ketchuplover | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 06:11 pm  Thanks to everyone involved with the site Mole? |
Tootseug | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 06:17 pm  Thank you ALL so much for making my summer great. I have been off work for most of the summer due to a work injury, and it was great having the BBFC to come to in the morning, afternoon, evening, and wee hours. Fortunately, I am now starting back to work, just as BB is winding down. If it wasn't, I'd definitely be calling in takinig a "mental health day" alot. I look forward to the growth of our site, and participating in it. Just on a more "reasonable" level....at least I hope it's more reasonable. I am a true addict though, so I am going to have to cross my fingers on this one.......and start chanting the 12-step slogan, "Let go, let goddess". Angels, you were terrific. In closing I want to say that, if this board hadn't of been here, I'd of lost interest in the program long ago. I am sure CBS has learned lots from this experience, and I am confident that they will do alittle better job in casting on BB2. "No, I haven't heard anything, I am just thinking postiviely." This IS a great place to be. Thanks for the memories!! TootsEug |
Bunny | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 06:30 pm  Yes, a big thanks to all who made this site possible, and for all those who contributed! No, I didn't get any gardening done. No, I never watered the grass. No, not much housework. Yes, I have a ton of laundry. Yes, I ate too much junk food. Yes, I sometimes ignored DH. Maybe, I can get my life back! Oh what fun it was reading and watching, and generally enjoying the whole BB effect on BBFC! I will always fondly remember our angels, they gave us the extra excitement we needed. May the angles always have wings. |
