I agree smokey, I went to Jokers and never did find the live feeds postings. I tried several times and could not figure it out, so I gave up. And I used to be a Jokers all the time before I found this site, but I think it is different owners.

I got some overtime work done!!! and did some cooking. still need to vaccumm!!!

Reloaded a lot...did my typical weekend chores...took a nap...visited other boards in my links to see what was happening (BBChatter got lots of hits too from TVCH being down since BB4BBQ directed people there)...played solitaire and freecell...had something else to "stress" about other than my job/financial situation...

Yay, We're back

I didn't realize how much time I spent here (usually in lurker mode) until I spent most of the weekend trying to find something else to do... catalogued some videotapes, refreshed, grumbled, surfed e-bay and craigslist and spent money I couldn't really afford..and STILL was grumpy for lack of TVCH fixes...SO glad it's back up again!

I finally emailed Dra and he came thru like the trooper he is. Told me what was going on and about the mirror site.

I then spent some time at other sites and was really suprised at SS especially. I couldn't believe they were so mean about the houseguests. It actually made me sick at my stomach and I hope that the hgs and their families don't go anywhere near that place.

It really made me appreciate the moderators here so much more.

Wow people!
Don't attack me here for what I'm about to say but how did you all live from the last Big Brother till this one started up?
Better yet...how did you all survive before there ever was a Big Brother?

to answer your first question makays, i go to the other areas of tvch mainly anyway so no bb withdrawals for me. just a tvch withdrawal. and that kind of answers your 2nd question, no bb withdrawal cause im not that into this season. i just missed my tvch friends.

I have to agree with you on not being into this season. For some reason this season has bored me to death. Gone are the days of Chicken George, Bunky, Amy and Marcelous etc.
Its to the point that I told my husband I wouldn't be surprised at all if this is the last BB in the USA.

After reloading a few times, I checked a couple of other sites. Yikes. Unorganized or uncivilized or both, lol! Went back, no luck. Spent a bit of time at my 3rdwatch.net board, checked again. Ack! Still nothing! Getting paranoid. Did I do something? Googled for info, got none. Went to those "other" sites. No clues, terrible LFTs, lol. Tried here again, nothing! WTF?!? Is this long-term? Waaaa! Went to sleep...
Next day, tried to get in, nothing again! CRAP! Checked my e-mail..nada. Got all annoyed, checked in here and there...nothing. Went about my bidness, checked a couple more times. Bitched, complained. Came in today to find the gates opened and the sun shining! Yippee!!:)

I also reloaded, again and again and again,waited an hour, reloaded, reloaded, reloaded....rebooted.

discovered BB4 is not the same without this site.

finally on sunday I couldn't take the withdrawals anymore, I went to jokers....thankfully they had a post there explaning what was going on here and gave the link to the mirror site.

I am thankful for jokers, but its definetly a different experience, difficult to navigate around.

So I am grateful we're back up and running and I can get my daily fix.

Makays- FYI- BB has been renewed for three more years. Despite our feelings about some of the problems this year it has had great ratings... go figure!

D'oh! I could have e-mailed Draheid! Dumb meggie! As the founding member of the Draheid fan club why didn't I know better?

I am glad I am not the only one who did the reload thing. When I tried Ryn's site the mirror site was not posted yet. Since it had been over a ear- I no longer had it bookmarked. I had memorized the Moderator email though- end emailed them.

The mirror site reports board outages. It is TVCH Mirror Site

I went into chat twice- but there was no one there either time.

Makays- to answer your question about how did we live before and in between BB. Before BB- I did not know what I was missing- I rarely "surfed the net" and NEVER went to message boards. After each Big Brother- I go through withdrawal. Yes- I came to TVCH sometimes- but not MANY TIMES a day- like I do during BB. I must visit often enough because my screen name has never been canceled.

Meggie...I sent you an email. If there's a next time, hopefully I won't have to have imaginary discussions with my internet friends. :)

Well, I reloaded. Thought it was me so cleared history & cookies and rebooted. Still nothing. Checked other sites for news on TVCH. Did a search for TV Clubhouse & found the mirror site & found out what was up. Watched a movie. Browsed other sites but not the same. I agree Joker's is difficult to navigate. Tried to get in Chat last night off the mirror site but the system wouldn't let me stay. It kept asking for my password but wouldn't let me enter it. The wonderful TVCH people that were in the room tried to help me but unfortunately it wasn't working for me. So, gave up and went to bed. Came home from work today and first thing I did was check TVCH. Yippee!!! It's back!!! Reading the TVCH boards is what makes BB fun!

I used a lifeline..Thanks Square!!!!! and then went to other sites. I have only been to Survivor sucks site a few times, saw they had BB area, went there and was shocked at how mean the posters are. I am not a big Ali fan but I had no idea how many others feel the same, I could not believe how very cruel some posts were.

I love TVCH and all my friends here!

Considered looking for a new board.
Relized I could never leave this place.
ONCE THEY PULL YOU IN, YOU CAN'T GO BACK!
EVER!
Just Kidding.
But I did really consider looking for a new board.
Didn't find one.
Started to feel isolated. No friends were on MSN.
Started to worry.
Went to bed.
Came back today, and here I am.

Went into a PANIC!

Because of a TIVO glitch, our Fri. night episode was not taped. I didn't think it was a "biggie"...just check it out at TVCH.

THEN EGADS!!!!! NO TVCH! Sob, sob, sob.....

Sunday...no TVCH....weeping and nashing of teeth!

Tonight...All is right with my world! :)

If Plan A no longer workers... what's Plan B??

Oh sorry.. I've been watching too many news lately

but that's how I felt when this board disappeared. Looking for an alternative way to keep knowing what was happening in the house...
I almost expected an email from the Mods telling us of the problem. When BBbbq announced that this board was having problems I finally relaxed and knew I wasn't going nuts, it wasn't my imagination. Then Joker's seemed the "good neighbor" trying to help us out with news that we were going to have our boards up again on Monday and were inviting us over for the time being, so we didn't feel totally alone while evacuated..(you know all these forest fires forced evacuations and people got sheltered by kind souls..) that's how I felt about Joker's site. I didn't post there but was enough busy with keeping up with their updates and discussions, but it was just not the same thing as here. Maybe the posting system here is better and also the level of discussion, but there is P/X2 there which invites for deeper thoughts and discussion and certain posts were quite interesting.
It's amzaing though how there aren't that many good boards out there on BB, maybe two or three including this one, and that's it.

I looked everywhere for another site where live feeds were posted, but no one, anywhere is like here.
It looks to me like we have all discovered that we have a very special community here. I thank all of you who are here with me and all those who keep it happening.
Bless us, we are pretty cool. Hey, Wanna take over the world together? I will organize the whole thing!
Peace and love

Ok. Here's what I did, just like the above! Refresh, Reload, tried another brouser, checked other sites(yuck!)(except for Ryn's of course, but he seemed to be MIA). Then I took about 1000 deep breath's and thought to myself, maybe the site is down-BUMMER!!!
Then I had a great day on Sunday!!
I went to the Cubbies game at Wrigley Field North(Miller Park, Milwaukee), and watched the Cub's SWEEEEEP the Brewer's! TO TAKE SOLE POSSESION OF FIRST PLACE!!!
ok, only lasted 1 day, but, I'm a die-hard cubbie fan!!
GO CUBS!!
They best part of the day was when I got home, went to Ryn's site, and saw the message about TVCH coming back by Monday!!! That made my day even better!
again-GO CUBBIE'S
GO TVCH!!!!
