Julieboo | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 03:33 pm     Admin: Is Neil your middle name? |
Marysafan | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 03:56 pm     Wow! That screeen shot sure brought back memories....and no red X's through any faces...so no one had been evicted yet! I came here early on. Back before George had blue hair...and the "megaman" was responsible for the dreaded "chicken cam" and Karen was doing all the cooking. I found it through a link from another site also...(Or perhaps in my search from "BigbrotherTop50"). I HAD to find this place. People around home thought I was nuts because I was so involved with this show...watching them all day on the internet. People were going to start talking about me soo..I had to find a place where there were other people like me. People who had opinions and theories and discussed them in an intelligent manner. We didn't alway agree, but even the disagreeing was fun. Then I lost my bookmark...and I couldn't find my way back for a long time....and one day I did...and I was so happy to be back here again. Thanks to everyone for this awesome place. |
Schoolmarm | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 04:14 pm     Oh, My what GREAT memories. I remember the old board well. I think I found this when Neil (or Ryn) posted about the live feeds on another board....maybe 3greatshows.com. Found them with a searchengine. I was laid up from having knee surgery in mid July and Big Brother was my constant TV companion. So I must have been lurking from almost the beginning on my antique 1994 computer. Took me awhile to figure out that I could actually post and the trivia games with Digi/Juju et al brought me in as a member becuase I just HAD to post! Figured out chat a little later, and now I'm reading all the time from my great new Titanium Mac! Haven't been posting much in the show threads lately...I'm revising my 400-500 page disseration and applying for jobs right now, so things are nuts. Thanks to Neil we have formed a great community here. Thanks for all the memories! I'm anxious to meet some TVCHers. Tess and Tntitan in April, and then more at Resort Girls in August! |
Sage | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 04:47 pm     I discovered this site about 2 weeks into BB1. It was while I was looking through the AOL message boards which were very immature and flaming in nature. Someone in one the posts mentioned this site, and I decided to check it out. I depended on the live feed posts to keep updated on the days events as I had a AOL dial up connection, and with only one phone line, I could not tie up the phone all day. I tried my hand at a few late night trascriptions under the name of Lilsis. After BigBrother was over, I decided to get a new name, which is different from the one I have now. With that new name, I answered a plea from Neil to help him re-design the BBFC logo so he could do T-shirts. Then I did the logo for TVCH. Almost a year ago, I left this site and joined another, but I came back home this past September and rejoined with the name I have now. Its good to be home.

Egbok | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 06:57 pm     Whit, it's so nice seeing you once again!! I also arrive about 2 weeks into BB1. I recall something about name suggestions for the little green snake on the original website just after Neil got his 15 minutes of fame over the CBS lawsuit threat, etc. I also remember a poster named Zelda who was so nice to me!! This was my first experience participating on a board and I've never left. Everyone, for the most part, has been friendly and kind here. |
Moondance | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 08:21 pm     I miss Zelda (the nice Moon) |
Fruitbat | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 08:50 pm     Zelda is history and if she surfaces again I will duct tape her to a chair and give her Mary Hart bangs. Wink escaped but I will get someone, it is just a matter of time. |
Moondance | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 08:55 pm     LOL yes mam' That damn duct tape thread is coming back to me. |
Donut | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 09:59 pm     this is great, i feel like i am visiting a museum! what were the bbfc angels? |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 10:07 pm     Huh! So turns out I was hanging out at BigBrotherBlows with Wink and Fruitbat (and Moondance?) and didn't even know it! I found my way over here about August 2000. I just lurked and read the live feeds. I found it absolutely fascinating that anybody would do live feeds. Of course, I soon got addicted to them. After Big Brother ended, I was used to coming to the board, so I started reading some of the posts and was aware that BBFC was going to run an online game. Once the online game started, I had to register because then only registered users could read The Game discussion boards. Not that I read the discussion boards; I didn't. I only read The Game. When The Game ended, I started reading the discussion boards and found out there was a WAR going on over The Game, and it was not pretty. I almost left the board then, but instead decided to start posting to see if I could divert any of the discussions from the endless acrimony over The Game. Several people de-lurked at the same time I did. Merlin was one of them, and we were great buddies, and he thought I was a guy. I'm still his best guy-buddy that turned out to be a girl, I mean old lady. I have almost always used an icon as a logo on my posts. It used to be and then was until I got my very own icon created just for me. It looked like this Everybody knew meant Juju. Then along came BB2 and a whole influx of new people, some of whom were bunny and rabbit people, and they started wearing Juju costumes, which I never minded. I sort of figured they wanted to be like me, some sort of loopy rabbit-ear wearing dog, and who wouldn't aspire to that? Just a month or so ago when people started playing chess, I decided to go cool like my buddy Merlin, and I started wearing shades. So now I look like this Juju is coo! And what is really cool is that I can now disappear and reappear. Sometimes you see me, and sometimes you don't. Oops, uh, er, and that is the history of BBFC. I mighta left some stuff out

Sage | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 11:07 pm     Huh! Like who made the shades for you, so you could look cool!
 |
Tess | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 11:27 pm     Good point, Sage. Very good point! |
Merlin | Saturday, March 16, 2002 - 03:34 am     The first large scale simultaneous coming out of the lurkers was November 2000. It was a fun time as it was happening. Thinking of that moment in time reminds me of the TVCH members who were active at the time and who are no longer members because of some misunderstanding or hurt feelings. I miss many of those people. Juju has always been full of surprises for me. Should I mention that she could be a body double for Sarah Jones?

Juju2bigdog | Saturday, March 16, 2002 - 08:21 am     "I mighta left some stuff out" Er, uh, of course I did. I forgot to say the talented Sage is responsible for my new look. She cooled me out. Oh yeah. And Admin was kind enough to make it into an icon, even if I couldn't talk them into naming the icon jujucooldawg. Folks know not to believe everything Merlin says, right?

Wink | Saturday, March 16, 2002 - 08:28 am     So you're not covered with no no bites? I can't imagine what else he could mean. |
Buttercup | Saturday, March 16, 2002 - 11:11 am     I am not cool enough to have shades, but I'm here anyway! I've been here since the beginning of time--ever since BB1 started and the board was created. However, I first appeared under a different name, a name which I promptly forgot and didn't have time to remember when I wanted to come back after having been gone for a while. The reason I left had nothing to do with anybody here, life and a crazy work schedule took over for a while. What was I thinking?! I came back under a temporary name while lurking, but pretty soon I couldn't sit on my hands any longer--they just wanted to type and post! Yes, I am the quiet innocent type.... ANYWAY, after having posted under a name for a wee bit that just wasn't me, I finally found my name and identity(the reason for the name is probably burried in a thread in the archives somewhere)....the rest is history. Juju, having met Merlin in RL on several occasions, I would be careful, very careful.... I've seen his notes Buttercup innocently strolls out of the room

Admin | Saturday, March 16, 2002 - 11:18 am     I'm amazed and thrilled so many of you have been here so long. I'm always scratching my head going "What makes everyone stay, or come back?" There are so many websites in the world, what makes this one so special? It's YOU! That's what it is! Yes, Neil is one of my middle names. I've never been called my first name. I was born on my Dad's birthday, and they named me his name in his honour I guess. Weird eh? I'll have to see what else I can dig up. I think Moondance can explain best what the BBFC angels were. |
Admin | Saturday, March 16, 2002 - 11:21 am     Here, I found this btw: All of this exists in The Big Brother One Archives Just download it.

Admin | Saturday, March 16, 2002 - 11:30 am     Here's a logo we had in the beginning, right at the point the BBFC was integrated in the TVCH. I made it. Eventually we improved it to what we have now, thanks to many helpful people!

Moondance | Saturday, March 16, 2002 - 11:40 am     Oh you are bad bad bad, Mr.Neil! Donut if you remember back to BB1 they ran out of toliet paper so 3 of us who live in or around LA took it upon ourselves to make sure the HouseGerbils got some... we were Neils Angels then it grew to the BBFC Angels... we put messeges in the TP "BBFC loves BB" "We love Eddie" etc... and tossed them over the HUGE wall of the BB compund! BBFC Angels were even written up on the official BB website... Lots of free advertising for BBFC(TVCH) We went back 2 more times... the last time as we were tossing goodies over the wall, Raputin & Zelda were busted... ran... chased by CBS security and hid out in an apt laundry room while searchlight helicopters flew over head... meanwhile talking to Fruitbat on the cell to calm their nerves. Oh the good ole days! |
Lobster | Saturday, March 16, 2002 - 12:03 pm     I found this site right around the time that Brittney got the boot from BB1. I started reading the AOL boards and someone there posted a link to this site, and I lurked in the live feeds. I didn't really venture out of there until BB1 was over, and Survivor 2 had started. I finally registered during the middle of S2, and my first post was actually in a Bootcamp thread. I still lurk more than I post, and occasionally get sidelined by a new game at MSN or Iwon, but I always come back here. I love this place and the people! |
Admin | Saturday, March 16, 2002 - 12:06 pm     Oh you mean these cops?

Grooch | Saturday, March 16, 2002 - 12:14 pm     Memories.......... |
Moondance | Saturday, March 16, 2002 - 12:15 pm     LOL... hmmmm YES! |
Buttercup | Saturday, March 16, 2002 - 12:32 pm     I loved the angels!!! Almost wore my Refresh button out!  |
