I've just seen this. Printing it out and I'll have a go too, whilst watching I'm a Celeb. Two or three heads are better than one.

The problem with the two boards in a nutshell


both boards work completely differently instead of complementing each other

the main board is fast moving and needs less interaction by the BG's and users

the regulars board is slow moving and needs constant interaction by it's users and the BG's to make it work

if the regulars board is to remain then some way has to be found so that the regulars board and the main board combine seamlessly with minimum interaction by the both sets of users and the BG's

most of the posters in this thread don't seem to have any ideas on how to make both boards seamless and interactive

and a lot of the posters in this thread are involved in a Regulars vs Main board tug of war and are only putting ideas forward for one board or the other

The regulars board needs to change so that it complements the main board

this could be done by using the same end date format that is used on the main board E: the comps could still be tagged after the end date example E: 02/12 (Daily) (Monthly) (Weekly) multiple entry comps could have the extra tag (Daily ME) (Monthly ME) (Weekly ME) comps without end dates could have there own stickies something like (Daily Ongoing) (Weekly Ongoing) (Monthly Ongoing) etc

users on the regulars board would then be able to see at a glance comps that need entering A.S.A.P and users on the main board would be able to use advanced search on the main board in the same way thus combining search results from both boards

this would require less interaction by the users and the BG's who would then be able to move regular threads to GAME OVER more quickly

sounds good to me in theory but I'm not quite sure if it would work in practise

so any thoughts good or bad or tweaks regarding the above will be more than welcome but come on folks let's all try and find a way forward that is acceptable to both board users so that we can all comp and live together in peace and harmony

and lets make the competitions boards better for all compers!

I know that I said that I wouldn't post again regarding the regulars board but I just wanted to try and bring some sanity into the debate and put forward an idea that might be amicable with both board users instead of the constant tug of war that is happening now!

Good post! :T

A lot of people don't seem to like the idea of trying the regulars board out for size, which makes it more difficult to find a way for both boards to work together, as people are so against giving it a try. I know it's not ideal in it's current form, but that's what the discussions are about, trying to make it work better so maybe people will want to use it. I know some of the suggestions for how it can be changed have seemed a bit daunting, I've found some daunting myself and I have preferences, but if the other ideas are what's decided on then I'm happy to try and change my way of checking and entering to fit with the new ideas (the only thing I find it hard to do it keep up with the main board as things are posted as I always seem to get behind and once that happens it takes a long long time to catch up).

It's probably a good idea to maybe make a thread on the main board in the new year so everyone knows this specific discussion is going on and all points and suggestions can go in there so it's easy to find them?

I really like the idea of tagging posts, I think the BG's will end up doing most of the tagging though as it would probably be difficult to get people to add the tags when they do the post and only they and the BG's can edit the title. I guess that's the good thing about having the regular stickies at the moment as anyone can add them to the end of the thread.

There was an ITV comp on during a break of I'm a Celebrity this evening - was for a holiday and a car and £5000.

I've got the answer (C) but can't find the competition online.

I have tried searching to see if anyone has posted it (I know most of the ITV ones are done by a few of the regulars on here so dont want to tread on any toes!), but can't find it. I've also looked on the ITV website on the I'm a celeb section and no luck.

So apologies for breaking all the posting rule - but if someone could find the comp link I'll update this post with the link etc. in the morning.
