Archive through September 08, 2003
Boberg | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 07:56 am     After spending all Saturday night reloading and getting no where..I 1. Went to bed at a decent hour Sunday I 1. slept in late, 2. attempted to get in..no luck.. 3. checked other BB sites, they are definitely NOT TVCH but did find one that had a message about TVCH and people having a dificult time getting in so I felt better that it wasn't just me! 4. Watched a movie, did laundry, went out for dinner and then 5. tried to get on again..no luck..reload several times..no luck... 6. Prayed it would be back up by morning 7. Spent evening with wonderful hubby Monday I thank the good Lord and the computer powers that be that TVCH is BACK! |
Boberg | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 07:58 am     I also watched very little of the live feeds since I didn't have you guys to talk it over with since you all are what makes BB fun! |
Egbok | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 08:27 am     I found Ryn's site and learned about the Blimp ride. I live fairly close to where the Goodyear Blimp is docked, and I had seen it up in the air earlier in the day. When I discovered that Jun and Ali might be on the Blimp, I jumped into my car and drove down to the docking site. I saw a limo and a passenger van - all with very darkened windows. They were leaving the docking site, so I waved just in case Ali and Jun didn't have blindfolds on and they could see me..hahaha! I only wish I had some poster board and a big black marker to write them a message, although knowing me, I would have only wrote something like "Hi Jun and Ali from the TVCH".

Kalekona | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 08:28 am     I fummed.. after hearing Erika and Ali say roberts little girl didn't need the money. (but ali did) tried Jokers site but just wasn't right, watched, baseball, cougar football and nascar on sat. sunday we were without internet most of the day- power outage fried the cable companies ether card.. so until hubby found away around we were cut off.. so i watched more baseball and some old movies. and still complained to my mother about the conversation between Erika (who i lost all respect for, and i was just starting to root for her) and ali. |
Ophiliasgrandma | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 08:34 am     I found the 'mirror' by just typing TV Clubhouse into my usual search engine. Up till then I never knew the mirror existed. Serendipity! |
Smokey | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 08:34 am     I kept trying TVCH like everyone else, but had a really busy weekend, so didn't have time to worry TOO much. LOL I got an email from my neighbor wanting to know what was up with the site because I got her reading these boards this season after we discovered we were both BB fans. (We've both watched all seasons, but didn't realize till the end of last season that we were both addicts lol) I tried reading Joker's site, but that place is really hard to navigate--could use a site redesign! When I finally found some of what I wanted to read, I was a little disappointed because this site does so much more, and so much better. Glad we're back!!! |
Hobbs | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 08:36 am     The board was down????? Just kidding. |
Ark | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 08:43 am     Reload, Reload, Reboot, Reload, Reload, Reload, Reboot, Reload, Reload, Reload, finally went to Ryn's site to see what was going on. Spent some time with the family. |
Kmjm | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 08:46 am     Actually, I was pretty depressed and disgusted after Ali won POV at the prospect that Rob may very well make final 2 and will leave before Erika, so I didn't watch any live feeds either. I did however, clean and reorganize my basement! Amazing how much time you have when there's no BB! Unless there's some big twist, I think I'm finished with live feeds this year, will keep on checking in here, though! |
Lostintheglades | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 09:09 am     Reloaded Tried to read other BB sites...(they sucked..) Reloaded Watched the feeds and sent e-mails to the mods so they would have something to post when the boards were back. reloaded Vacumed, cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen. reloaded took a nap Watched the feeds and sent e-mails to the mods reloaded. went to bed. |
Squaredsc | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 09:12 am     -- well i refreshed a couple of times -- then turned on my aim to see if dra was online cause i knew he would know what was going on and he wasn't there -- went to chat via mirc which is what i always used thank goodness cause i wouldn't have been able to figure out how to get there without it -- was greeted by angel tess who before i could even ask what happened, already had a prepared statement set up to tell everyone who came in what happened to tvch -- hung around chat, which is what i usually do, played trivia where strawberry stole all of my points, lol -- hung out at other sites and just basically did my usual thing while going thru withdrawals. |
Catfat | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 09:22 am     Went to Jokers yesterday, read a little bit of stuff. I agree, that place is like trying to negotiate a labyrinth, but the people seemed nice and welcoming. I'm glad to be back home. |
Spear | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 10:16 am     Egbok -- on the live feeds, Ali and Jun said there was some stalker that was trying to get to them when they were getting into the limo. Were you that person? If you are, Jun took your picture.  |
Gina8642 | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 10:22 am     -Watched WAY too much tennis. -Loaded the clubhouse pages about a billion times to no avail -watched more tennis -watched the live feeds, but it just wasn't the same if I couldn't tell anyone about my outrage at some of stupid stuff they were saying -cleaned my closet (a small benefit I guess) -read every news story on Yahoo and the New York Times news sites -watched more tennis. Very bummed that Andre lost out. -played spider solitaire -played pinochle on yahoo |
Lyn | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 10:42 am     We painted the other half of our house...and I checked the site ever two minutes to see if it was back up  |
Spike763 | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 10:46 am     didn't realize you were down... didn't catch any feeds over the weekend either. so catching up now. sorry. the guests just aren't interesting enough for me to watch all the time anymore. |
Gina8642 | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 10:49 am     I found jokers updates too. It just isn't the same. The board is impossible to navigate, always loading pages to see posts that are three words long. Very frustrating. One nice thing on Jokers - they have the links to Real on every page. I liked that. |
Landi | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 10:50 am     i hit refresh... refresh... broke down and cried... hit refresh... hit refresh... |
Rainwoman | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 10:57 am     I went to Joker's sometimes, and I hated seeing "rat" and "ratbert". I thought that was VERY annoying to read. I'm not a huge fan of Robert, but I thought that was rather unprofessional, especially coming from the host of the site itself. They didn't have much there to read either. TV Clubhouse is the place to go for BB updates and interesting general discussions! |
Crossfire | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 11:05 am     I don't want to slag on them as they do provide a free service for their users, and it is user driven much like this site, but it is too sparse for my liking. I prefer to sit down, and get into so meaty reading, and discussion. It could be that I've never found the right area there, and admittedly, I've never really looked, but they seem to lack 'community'. |
Meggieprice | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 11:53 am     Checked out what life is like without TVCH- not pretty! lol! What does it take to know the page is not going to refresh? I don't know because I never got to that point... I wish I had known chat was up- I forgot that because my biggest panic was feeling I might never connect with my TVCH friends again (ok, emotional drama queen- I cop to it!). I was in a particular funk because this was our only non-wedding weekend this whole summer, until November, and I couldn't be here with you all either! Onlyhuman- e-mail me please- if it happens again we can exchange messages for real! lol... |
Moderator | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 11:53 am     That's what makes it nice, Rainwoman and Crossfire. Different boards with different styles allows you to find one that is your fit. This is a moderated board, we advertise that from the moment you sign up and we put it in red at the top of each Topic area. Boards like Jokers let you go right at houseguests and call them the names you think are appropriate. We try to get people to give their reasons for disliking a houseguest by eliminating the shortcut of simple name calling. Jokers is like a true or false test. "Soandso is a jerk: True or False" Tvch is like an essay test. "Explain why you feel Soandso displays jerk like behavior" Both are good sites and serve different tastes. Jokers management and Elites were both very kind and supportive during our outage. (dh) |
Squaredsc | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 12:08 pm     meggie, you bring up a good point. when the board was down i got a couple of emails asking what was going on and i emailed some people too. so we kind of had a networking thing going on while we waited. so i said that to say maybe its a good idea to keep a list of some tvch people we feel close to in case it happens again so that we all have a lifeline, lol. |
Smokey | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 12:28 pm     Yeah, I want to add that what I said about Joker's wasn't meant to be a slam against them at all. I was grateful to be able to go somewhere to read a few things because I just get so bored with the feeds and don't turn them on much (unless there is going to be a competition or something). Having come from working in website development makes me aware when something is hard to navigate and that site is definitely hard to navigate. It took me awhile to figure out where to read the live feeds---but then again, that could be MY problem! LOL |
Jagger | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 12:33 pm     Didn't realize it was down until I got to work today, weekends usally consist of yard work and football. |
