Azriel | Sunday, February 11, 2001 - 11:29 am  This has been a special experience for me personally, so I think without a doubt it has added to TVCH in my estimation. I don't know how the feelings are running on the outside, so it's hard to judge how everyone else feels. I know this has to be a unique thing on the net and I know how interested I was in the first Game. I hope we have a Game 3, too. I had a lot of fun on the outside in Game 1 and I'd like to experience that again.

Guruchaz | Sunday, February 11, 2001 - 12:26 pm  Personally, I think the TVCH is THE best messageboard on the internet. It's very well designed and maintained by Neil and Lisa. It's pleasing to look at and the messages are formatted neatly. One click and you're in the chatroom and it supports all types of TV and Internet programming. You don't even have to like TV to post here because there are so many other conversations to join in on. The Game is very unique to the TVCH. Other boards may try to dupe it, but this is the original. This is the definitive location for The Game and any future online reality messageboard games. In fact, I'm surprised more outside media sources haven't picked up on it. I think it only serves to enhance the conversations / posts and gives another option that will help bring in memberships. There are people that will come and go for whatever reason, but nobody can deny that this is one of the best messageboards around. Yes, I said that.  |
Merlin | Sunday, February 11, 2001 - 09:13 pm  For me the TVCH is an extraordinary place to meet people who may have something in common that I can be a part of. I can’t imagine how I could have been able to interact with such a variety of people from all parts of this continent, in what is a positive way to me. My only other experience with a board is with Big Brother before finding this place. The experience with Big Brother board participants would have convinced me I wanted no part of being in an online discussion board. Thinking about what I personally have gotten out of Game 1 & 2, I have to say yes, that the game does add to TVCH. My view is, what will bring a community together is some common interest, a shared belief, and sometimes an event. What keeps a community together is communication. I see Game 1 & 2 as another way of communicating who we are to others and what it is we believe. This was done by the players in the game and is being also done on the outside by the viewers responding to what they see going on inside the game. The Chatb1tches were a community inside of a larger community. These people had something in common that brought them together that went beyond what was there for other members of TVCH. Since I wasn’t a member, I don’t know what the bond was. What I do know is that the smaller community broke apart because of misunderstanding that arose out of not being able to communicate thoughts and feelings that came up. My belief is, the better you know someone, being able to communicate with that person becomes easier. There will always be things you don’t like about someone, but it is easier for me if I can understand the individual. I think that the game is a means of getting to know each other better in a way that doesn’t happen in the normal course of the board. |
