Don't get me wrong- I love our live feed transcribers- they are valuable and wonderful-rock on!...but some of the late night ones prefer not to transcribe certain content- and I would like to see it. Any boards that print every last thing?

Try TWoP... they get pretty much everything... lots of fun commentary, editorial and general snarkiness in their live feed updates too.

Maggie, I hate to tell you, no matter how you cut it these people are a big fat bore. You can flit from board to board but it isnt going change the fact that these people have no depth.

There is a links thread here but failing that check out sirlinksalot, he puts links out there for lots of BB boards.

I know what you are talking about. I am on the east coast so to find out what happens from like midnight to five am my time I have to read the posts. I love that there are any people up late enough to post at that time at all, and I appreciate every effort, but there were some last night that for moral reasons would not report on the sex discussion going on. I tired to post last night, but heck it was 11:30 my time and they were just sitting down to dinner. I have a job to work during the day, and just can't funtion on no sleep, or I would have posted.

Keiffer, we're on the same page- I hate complaining about it since I am not in there contributing due to my own life constraints- but I count on those transcribers to know what is going on- and I want it ALL! thanks for all the suggestions, everyone-
but what is TWoP?

Please remember that these posters are reporting on their own time -- many times despite their own life constraints -- and they are getting the gist of everything that is going on in there. If we start to complain about what they are doing for us, then we run the risk of not having anything.

Also, please remember that these LF posters are typing out things in their own name that they might not even be able to repeat out of their own mouths. These houseguests are above and beyond disgusting and graphic. Moral reasons? Possibly, but I think that the LFP maybe have a little more couth and respect than the people speaking.

Personally, I do not care if they report on the sex discussion. What in the SPAIN does what position they prefer have to do with this game? For me, I want the LFP to get the gist of what is going on rather than complain about the favor they are doing for me. If the sex talk is that important, maybe a porn site would be a better option. As someone said in chat last night -- you get a better video quality anyway. :)

Well, I thought I was the only one ticked off about the self-editing. I have read the BB1 feeds and BB2 feeds and folks only posted if they could stomach the HG's conversations. Those that couldn't just didn't. There was a lot of self-editing going on last night.

That said, I am completely unable to Live Feed post, and I do appreciate those who stay up at night to help those of us who can't.

While I understand that the original poster wasn't trying to criticize, but simply get info on where to go for a transcript, I would like to say that I hope our live feed posters won't feel pressured to include all the filth from now on. The main reason I come here rather than sign up for the live feeds is that here I can find out what's happening with the game without having to listen to the filth. I SO appreciate that it's somewhat edited for content, and especially language.

SpyGirl for president! :o)

I, and I'll betcha all the rest of the posters, try as much as humanly possible to type exactly what is said and done. If something is too graphic, I flip to a different feed or go read a book, walk the dog, work, clean my house, etc.

I don't care what lowlife Josh thinks of Jason's virginity, or what he suggested to him to do "instead" to Chiara and it doesn't have a damned thing to do with morality - it's called class/taste/couth/maturity/self respect - or Josh & Company's obvious lack of any of those.

We post the LFPs for FREE, on our own time, because we enjoy the show and want to share with the folks who don't have the same level of technology. Nobody forces anybody to read them, and no one asks that you be grateful. But, a little common sense and courtesy wouldn't kill ya!

Journal Graphics charges $30.00 per hour to summarize tv shows in print. Maybe you could arrange something with them...

I am not criticizing those wonderful folks at all!My life is the richer for them and their dedication. And I don't WANT the HGs to talk sex and sleaze. I just want to know what happened. All of what happened. Straight reporting. In all their conversations you get a feeling for who they are and what their strategy is. So far it's not pretty!I am NOT interested in porn sites and not looking for the sexual. Just want to make that clear.

I can see both sides on this. I think the live feed posters are doing an incredible job and devoting a lot of their personal time to posting the feeds. however, at the same time if their sensibilities are offended by some of the content they shouldn't post the particular conversations.

I have posted one or two paragraphs in the feeds and I also have listened to feeds that I just cant even stomach so I dont post them. It seems to me if you are offended by the filth you are listening to, you can turn it off.

All in all, I say keep up the good work to the live feed posters.

Meg,

I think most of our ire was directed at Keiffer and his assumptions about certain posters LFPs. You know what they say about those that ass-u-me too much!

Spygirl - I was thinking what you said.

Meggie - You may have been misunderstood, but you and Keiffer sounded like you resented the "sex" talk being edited/toned down. Most of the LF posters make it clear that they are talking filth without giving the graphic details. And as others said, these folks are up doing this for me while I'm in bed asleep. I would never insult them by asking where I could get "better" coverage. Hope our objections haven't hurt your feelings.

Thanks Treasure- I was feeling a little ganged up on! I am bowing right now to honor all of you posters- I guess it's just that when someone says they don't want to say what was said you are left wondering. I certainly agree that narcissistic bunch of houseguests is making it hard on you all.
For lack of content they substitue smut.

Some of the posters give a little more detail than others. All I can say is that for me when the LFP writes "more sex talk" or "more talk about _____ " (fill in the blank with any sexual related word of your choice), that's all I need to know. I think you can get the drift of the conversation from that. I don't need to know the details. It's hard trying to listen and type at the same time. I tried it one time and I appreciate their efforts.

Meggie I understood where you were coming from and know you werent slighting the posters. This thread is just an example of how dull everythig is inside the house. people are just trying to make things interesting on the outside. We need someone to go into that house and clean a toiletbowl with a toothbrush.

Wow- I had no idea I would get everyone so upset with what I thought was an innocent request. I admit at one point some of these posters made me near tears. I'll be really careful before I ever start a thread again.You're a powerful bunch.

And Maris it will just get worse if the gang of six has their way...

"I love that there are any people up late enough to post at that time at all, and I appreciate every effort"

Direct quote from my earlier post. I was not trying to come on heavy or anything regarding the LFP's. I myself have tried to do it some, and find it very difficult because I can't type very well. My only real point here is that I understand some people notin likely some HG's because of the thing they talk about, or how they say certain things. If the people who can be up when those conversations are happening tell us what is actually said perhaps we could develop the same opinions.

I LOVE LFP's!!!!! I wish I was better at it. I appreciate their skill at typing, and love their devotion to the show.

No maggie, don't let it stop you. Think of it this way...you just woke some people up.

Oh, please don't be intimidated by us! We're just a little stircrazy from this pack of boring potty mouths.

My great-grandmother had a very cool attitude towards life in general and a great saying appropriate for Josh (or should I say Beavis?) et. al. - "If you have to talk about it ALL the time, you aren't doing it at ALL." ;o)

Post away, that's what boards are about, give and take, and you have to be able to do both in large quantities. Have fun!

For what its worth, I don't post half the stuff they say, so if you read my posts - I am self editing all the time.

I try to post the stuff relevant to the game, not all the idle chit chat.

And specific sex acts discussed? Who really cares? Again - its jyst me & my opinion, but that stuff is about as worthless and the time it takes to type it.

If the LFPs posted HALF of the stuff that was discussed that was profane a million people would be complaining that it was too graphic ;)

SO anyone thats posts, posts what they want. And thats the way it has been and the way it will continue to be I imagine.

Not picking on anyone, but I understand your wants. I can't reccomend any other LFP site that will be 'more graphic' - just not sure whats out there any more, what I do know is that ours is one of the most complete.

SO take what you want from these BB feeds and fill in the blanks with other sites, no one will hold that against ya!! :)

As far as getting so many people upset - hey there are almost 1200 members now - you only got 3 or 4 people riled up enough to reply - thats not many at all :)

I agree with Maris & Treasure -- don't let anything said here make anyone stop posting.

While started innocently and with a valid request about other sites, it could have quickly escalated into a b*tch about the LFP because they aren't giving us everything thread. Unfortunately, that happened last year and we lost some very valuable LF posters who never returned.

If there are other sites that report the graphic detail, then I truly hope this thread will produce those suggestions. I just wanted to deter it from the potential complaining route :)

Well, just so you know, I visted a few other sites and they just aren't the quality that we have here. Perhaps I should have called my thread "Any other great sites?" to head off the problem. And I wont stop posting. I love it here. I love a spirited exchange as long as it doesn't get too personal, which this almost did.

maggie... as a LFPer let me say that we know you appreciate us.. it's just frustrating...

First of all.. you never know what the board will accept. Some words will be blanked out by the board and when you are actually doing a LFP you are trying to catch the conversation and report it as accurately and detailed as you can without getting SO detailed that by the time you type it they are on a different subject. This does not allow for a whole lot of "thinking time"

Also, often times when you have a group of people talking at once and you can hear 2 conversations going and one is some sex dicussion that is disgusting (and some of what they said last night was downright GROSS) and the OTHER conversation is something with a little more "substance" the LFP will usually tend to get the conversation of "substance". That's not morals, that subconscious psychology.

There are also some things that just don't need to be typed. Like me for example... I don't mind reporting SOME of the sex talk... talking about shaving body parts, etc... that's cool... but when they start talking about how you check out if a gay man is on the prowl by getting close to his butt, smelling it and seeing if it's fresh because they give themselves enemas before they go out... ok... now we are starting to push it...

The fact is that we consider the fact that some people will be working when they read these and some people will be EATING when they read these... and there's just no reason to go there... in the above case I would simply post "Chira discusses how to check out if a gay man on the prowl (ed:ick)" ... and that should suffice.

We're not trying to beat up on you... we just want you to understand OUR side of it. Personally I feel we have the best LFPers on the planet and I stand by our group...

Just reember... we do it ALL for you
