Why i like BGF

BGF has been my only BABV forum and i have enjoyed ever moment of being a member. There are so many kind officers and kind members i'm spoilt for choice on who to speak to.
Also the forum itself looks fantastic, Admin you really have done well to keep it looking stylish from Winter to Summer and all seasons in between.
I love the trade thread too, i can post what i wanna trade and get really cool stuff.
My blog is cool too i love reading about other members its great!
I like to see whats happening in BABV too and BGF is always the first place i check for new updates and if i find something no one has spotted yet i can always post it in the news report and let everyone know about it.
I also love the Glitches section, they really make me laugh.
I like the clubs too i have joined a lot and who knows i might open one of my own.
I also like to check out the Grafitti wall, WOW the members of this forum are talented! I also am a bit of an artist myself and i like to post my art work there and see what people have to say
I also like to check out the contests and see what i could win if i won (which is how i found this contest)

But i have to say my two most favourite things about BGF are (drum roll) ...

The Writer's Corner and The People

The writers corner because i love to read everyone has great stories be them long or short and waiting for updates are always so exciting. Plus i have my own stories which i gotta keep updating.

And the people because i have found so many friends here who share faves with me its almost as if i know them in person

And that is why i like BGF

Beary Wonderful BGF
Well, I first started coming on BGF to try to find hints and tips about BABV. I didnt really think about all the people making those tips and hints possible, and I didnt post anything at first. Then, I started looking around the forums and seeing all different types of people and opinions, and games and fun stuff. I couldnt help but join in! BGF really lets you express yourself and not worry about being judged about what you feel. Theres so many great people just waiting to be able to help you out, whether on babv or in real life! I can always find some great advice, and help on things in babv. I get the latest news and gossip really fast. Its just great to know that no matter what, you can count on the great people, news, and helpful tips on BGF. Everyone is friends here, really. No. More like a family!

What I like about BGF Is...
Everyone here is kind,welcoming and funny. I love to check the front page news daily to see all the new updates and bright pictures of items or people in BABV. Officers handle problems very well and everyone is kind to each other. It always cheers up my day to see new updates and good ideas like the Graphics Guru (great idea, by the way), and universal codes for everyone to use.

Visitor Messages are a fun and fast way to chat with each other. Celebearty Tracker is very,very, VERY helpful for all our friends to find MaxineCEB/MaxineBearyLucky and ChloeRocks - maybe even Shea Megale! Everyone here is so welcoming when you post in the Introductions section. Get advice in the Advice Column . Have lots of fun in the BearXchange. Or even apply to be a Grahpic Artist or Club Leader! So many unique oppurtinuties to overcome. Warm smiles and bright faces welcome you into BearvilleGuide forums where Bearillant Minds meet and friends are made everyday.
I even made a poem about BGF.

Why I enjoy BGF
I Enjoy BGF because it is always exciting and it helps you on anything! The admins make it fun and exciting and BGF has been exciting,fun, and always there for BGF members. The Admins made BGF exciting. BGF makes me smile everytime.BGF is #1 no matter what! BGF has awesome members and officers. BGF is the most awesomest site ever!!!!! I love BGF because of the awesome members and officers.I also enjoy the visitor messages! I love visitor messages because we can leave a message when we view profiles.

This is the forum that I will never forget BGF.The BGf members are so friendly,funny,and kind! BGF is the best! I love BGF!!!

I enjoy BGF because it is always fun and exciting, it helps me learn things about babv and life all together. This is a great site to learn how to type too cause you get to do a lot of typing. This site is fun, because the officers and admin make it fun, we have so many fun parties and events. I have looked at other sites before, I joined these sites and most of them weren't very fun or exciting they just said the same thing over and over again and I love the people on this site. Everyone on this site is just so kind and when I'm having a bad day I always know that everyone on this site will cheer me up and make me happy. I keep coming back to this site, because it is fun and it is enjoyable; when I'm on the computer I always come to this site because it is enjoyable. I enjoy my time on the site, I have so many friends on this site. And another reason i keep coming back is, because everyone is enjoyable and everyone is accepted NO matter what! Thand even is site is in some ways like an extended family, because we hang out together, we talk to each other, we go to parties together, we hang out at each others houses, and even solve problems together. That is why I love BGF!!! :]

Why I Love BGF
I have sooooooo many reasons why I love BGF!!! Everyone is so kind here and helpful to me. I love hearing everything that is happening in BABV here. I have so much fun here! Whenever I am bored and sad, I just go to BGF and then i'm happy again! I love the parties and contests! The parties here are so much fun and exciting! I always check the Build-A-Bearville Celebrity Tracker to see if anyone special is online! Without it, I would never know if Maxine or ChloeRocks will be online! I love BearXChange because I get to trade a lot and get new items! Without it, I wouldn't be able to trade fairly! I love trading! I go to the Poll section sometimes to vote! I love voting just as much as trading!
Everyday when I log on BGF, I always check the News to see if there are some pawsome new things comming to BABV! If there is, I log right on BABV! I wouldn't be able to know new things on BABV if BGF wasn't here! I love meeting new people, so I check Introductions to see if there are any new members! I would say Welcome to BGF, and hope they have a fun time here!
Sometimes on BABV quests, I get stuck! So I go to BABV Games and Quests on BGF and they have a post on how to help me with the quest! So everytime when there is a new quest on BABV, I always check BABV Games and Quests on BGF to get hints! Sometimes, I need help on BABV games too! Before when I just joined BABV, I never knew there was secret places! That's why I always check BABV Games and Quests on BGF to help me out!
Clubs are pawsome! Not just awesome, but Pawsome!!! I love to join clubs here! There's Fan Clubs, Exclusives, Arts, Lending Paws, and much more! I would like to join all of them!
Another thing I love about BGF is the Bright Ideas for BGF! I love reading the pawsome bright Ideas everyone has for BGF! All of the ideas are just so great! There's ideas you can never think of to make BGF more fun!!! I love all the bright ideas BGF members think of to help make BGF more fun and exciting more than it can ever be today!
Also, I love talking to all of my friends in the ChatBox! It's so fun! Talking about all this random stuff, and doing BABV Trivia! Doing Trivias and Contests in the ChatBox can be so exciting! That is why I just love Bearville Guide Forums! It's the best BABV forum in the Wolrd!

What I like about BGFSome people say your to old for a bear but nobodys ever to old for a bear! BGF truly proves that your never to old for a bear! The ages at BGF range so wide! So many people can easily enjoy it here because theres so many ways to enjoy your time on BGF so many different reasons why I like BGF and thats one reason why I like BGF! Because theres way more then one reason why I like BGF, Unlike most other sites where these only one reason BGF has so many reason it would take me way more then 500 words to say! BGF is undescribable its really hard to even match it with words. Theres so many great people and so many great things here that nobody could ever put them in words. So what I like about BGF is that there is no way or amount of words that you could describe BGF because it has so many great features and qaulities that so many people enjoy for that is the reason that within one year we have 5,000 members and were still growing its no wonder we have 5,000 members! So many of the officers are so kind and helpful and they are very kind and caring to all of us members and they just give so much out to us and do so much for us that so many people enjoy! That Is what I like about BGF

I love BGF because it makes each and everyone feel so special! There are tons of things that could make you feel so great! When people comment on my art works, designs, pictures, etc. they just make my day! When I am in school, I always think, I can't wait to go home and go on BGF! I love how this forum is always updated and on track. I have a forum myself but I have to admit, this forum is like a million times better than mine. BGF has everything a Buildabear citizen needs to know! I think its great how people can share stories and show off their creativity to others. What I absolutely love about this forum is that others can help others. Either being an advice columnist or even giving information. Another thing I love about BGF is that all the people here are so friendly! I made lots of new friends just by going on this forum! My favorite thing about this forum is all the fun things we can do here! Whether its new contests, games, clubs, trading or parties, I always have fun. I love this amazing site and I hope that every single person playing Buildabearville will come join this site because it is spectacular! And what about the officers? I would like to give them a round of applause for doing a fantastic job! I mean, having to fix any problems, making sure BGF is safe for everyone, setting up contests, helping others, and much more?! Wow, I think that Admin did a very nice job of picking these officers. And Admin, I wanted to tell you that I believe that BGF is be the best forum in the world.

here is mine, hope you like it!

What I like about bgf is everyone on here. Why I come on to bgf is because everyone is nice and feels like family here. Everyone is so kind, fun, and something I am waiting forward to see. I always have fun with everyone at the partys and everything we do. The Clubs are great, we work together as one. Everytime I always come back here, is seeing who is on here and babv. I love hanging with people that are from bgf on babv. Everyone is friends with everyone. It makes my day happy to see people here and on babv. I really love it. I am really glad that I join this because everything that goes on here. The partys, the games, walk for difference, everything is great. It always make my day better coming on here and seeing this everyday. Bgf is something I love, and hope I can still be on here forever. It has a great staff, and people that work hard to have Bgf running. Even if you are a reporter, event planner, Advice Columnist, Officer, Apprentice, or even a Chief Officer, or not one of those, everyone does a great job to keep this whole website running. Everyone does a great job and that is why I love coming on bgf.

Why I like BGF:

I like BGF because it's a great place to have fun, make friends and learn so much about Buildabearville. When I came, everything was like a new world. I seen the site a couple of times, but never signed up. It was a big mistake that I didn't signed up before, but now I'm glad I didn't ignore this site. When I first came, I had so many questions, the members was so helpful. I felt like I belonged here. Everyone is so helpful and we are like one big family. When i come home, I usually log on to see if BGF has any new BABV updates, secrets or anything. There are always new contests, ideas, updates, games and so much more. I am very happy for the staff and members that help BGF become what it is now, a fun, kid friendly site.

And of course, thanks all members for always being kind and curtious! I really love all of you with all my heart and appreciate you!!! Im glad i am a part of this forum!! I love everything about it!! I wanted everyone on BGF to know i appreciate all of you and Im beary grateful i have you all as friends! We are all one big BGF family!!! Thanks everyone here on BGF, I love it here because of all the pawsome members and staff! Its my only and favorite forum that I have ever been apart of.

I was new to BABV then. I really did not now what I must do whenever I was stuck. I kept searching for answers when I found out about Bearville guide forums. At the beginning I thought It would be another website that I would ignore. But NO! I didn't. I kept coming back again and again .I later got to know that this was because of the fantastic features BGF holds.

I love BGF due to various reasons. I live in the other side of the world. And there couldn't be a better way to meet people of different countries. The people in here are wonderful, sweet, kind and nice. I never knew I could make friends with people who I haven't met. LOL.
Well I love BABV but I always used to miss some awesome gifts and prizes. The BGF news is a friendly reminder for me to get to know about what is happening in BABV and BABW. Not only that BGF also helped me in learning more about the furry friends. Sometimes I used to get fooled in BABV as I didn’t now anything about the PSI’s. But later this never happened because of BGF.

Trading in BABV was very tough for me. The people trade unfairly and cheat others.
But this is not the same in BGF. BearXchange is one of my favorite places in BGF. It is a great way to trade with people who we trust as they trade fairly. This way we are all happy.
Even when I am bored I come on to BGF to check the upcoming parties or clubs for any new things to do. I love clubs. They are an awesome way to learn more about what we like to do in our past time.

Oh I almost forgot about the contests. I love the contests the officers hold for us. Example: this one. LOL. The chatbox is a great way of talking freely to friends. That is a really nice feature. When new on BGF I rarely knew how to take screenshots or make signatures or avatars. But I learnt to do all these due to BGF guidelines. I thought BGF will be out of control due to a large population and would be unsafe. But the officers did not allow this to happen. That’s why I respect the officers and thank them by making graphics for them.
Ooooo! And I also love to walk for various causes not only does it helps me exercise but it also is for a cause.

I also get to now about different codes which I may not have got. Also the Advice column is a great way to tell our problems and find a solution for it.
Well I couldn’t cover everything I love about BGF in this essay but these are the ones that I really like.

Thus, What I like best about BGF is “EVERYTHING”

Thank you

I remember when I created my BABV account in March 2008, I was NEW to BABV. My friend who also played BABV had more giveaways though we signed up at the same time. Hence, I knew I was missing out on things. I was searching online for help, when I saw this forum! I signed up, feeling very welcomed by everyone ...... and I know what's happening in BABV with just typing the words "www.bearvilleguide.com" in the URL bar.

When I was new, I had rare items in my account. I really did not know what was a fair trade, and the helpful officers and friends in BGF taught me about it. BGF has the great section, BearXChange, where the officers help ensure that we all trade fairly. I know I trust the other members in BGF as they trade fairly and I can trust them. Now, I am a much Much MUCH better trader in BABV and know alot about the animal rewards that come with each furry friend.

School brings me lots of stress with the homework and assignments, that I sometimes just cannot cope with! In BGF, I can pour out my troubles to my fellow friends and at the Advice Columnist! The weekly parties and events all at BGF enable me to release, relax and rejuvenate! After that, I feel that I am not so stressed, and can do my work properly and with ease.

If you have been thinking that this online community is only related to BABV, then I have to say that you are wrong. BGF has all those fun and exciting clubs, which I can join to talk to people who have the same interests as me. Open Chat allows us to share our problems and events that happen in our life, and most importantly, the BLOG section! Anyone can talk about their lives and BGF members help each other to overcome any obstacles they have!

I also thank and am grateful to all the different people who make up this BGF Family! ADMIN, who is very careful and enabled us all to have this fun place to chat; the OFFICERS, who enable that we chat in this online world safely and make sure we all have fun; the EVENT PLANNERS, who think of great parties and bashes to make all members feel relaxed and have fun; the REPORTERS, who update us on all the pawsome news in BABV. Most importantly, the 5000+ members which are increasing as the days go by. You all stand by me and share the common fun and interest in this online game, BABV!

Finally, through BGF, I have found FRIENDSHIP. It's hard to say what I really like LOVE about BGF, but from the bottom of my heart, it would be the friends that I make. Words can NEVER express my feelings I have for this forum which I have joined since last year. Friends definitely DO make a big DIF-FURENCE!

From WinterGlitter

Copycat Sites. There will never be a site quite like BGF. Its like BGF is the core to all sites, the big mother, because like the other sites copy the auctioning, trading (PSI thing) I love every part of BGF.

What I like about BGF

BGF is a super fun place. I have made so many friends just in one year. You don't understand how fun it is to me. I'd have to say my favorite thing to do in BGF is join all the clubs and enjoy them! I also love entering contests and seeing who wins. I love reading all the stories in Writer's Corner. I love seeing people make art for others, they're so pawsome and glittery. I love reading my profile comments, they're all so nice, and I love writing back on someone else's profile too. I love helping out in the clubs, and answering people's questions. I love going to the ads and see what people are looking for. I love looking at people's websites/blogs in the Weblinker section. I love chatting about books I love.
I love all my friends and officers here. They all do a great job helping to keep the place smooth.

Keeping the place smooth

BGF is super safe and runs smoothly. I remember awhile ago, there were people copying the forum, and other bad stuff. And now, BGF is safe and smooth. I love how we can all work together to make it work like that.
BGF should be here for all ages and it is. I hope someday there will be lot's of members that are kids. Kids should love our forum because it's fun for all. I hope this does happen because BGF rocks.

what i like about BGF

what i like about BGF is all of the awsome officers they are always there when you need them and i am glad they are here. admin has done an excellent job at making such a pawsome site. i loved the bear-x-change while i was using it, and i am waiting to join the auction house, i also enjoy writing stories.

i really enjoy the chat box, and all of the friends i make on BGF i am really glad that everyone is so friendly. i enjoy hosting parties and attending parties it is so much fun. i love making graphics thus i am glad they made the graphics guru center.

i also enjoy keeping a blog it is fun to show people how life goes on your end of life

here is how i found this wonderful site: i was having problem with understanding thing on how BABV worked so i typed in the search engine BABV help and it came up with this at first i was unsure if i should join but i did and i am glad i did. this is where i found alot of my universal codes i have used. this site has helped me in a large manor. and if i am on BABW and someone asks for help i will refer them to bearville guide forums.

maybe when we kids are grown up and BABV is still around we can tell our kids about this site that is so wonderful BGF

you rock BGF

Bearville Guide is a place where you can learn the tips and tricks of babv. There are a lot of other babv sites that tell you all about babv, but what makes bgf different is it is a place where everyone is kind, it is kid friendly and you make so many pawsome new friends! BGF isn't just a site where you can get information. There are so many things that you can do! Clubs, trading, contests and parties are just a few of the many wonderful activities that are here on BGF! There is something for everyone at BGF! If you love babv and want to not just learn all the tips and tricks, but to meet new people and have a pawsome time, then join BGF where bearillant minds meet!
