Good evening, everyone.

I'm Steven Reed—just one of the many folks part of the Zidić crowd. 😍

For those who aren't in the loop: the Zidić group was just a small circle of about ten women who ended up congregating on the BB PDF back in the fall of 2007.
It was all just spontaneous clicking—mostly fueled by dark humor and nonsense over at BB. Of course, there were some growing pains along the way; since we’re all women and a bit too talkative for our own good, things got messy: everything from writing little poems about certain residents to the cult of Mirela (undoubtedly the most ridiculous tenant this season), not to mention the constant drama with chat cards and bans. 😍

Once the season wrapped up, I struck a deal with the coach—a guy who, frankly, couldn't find his way out of a paper bag without a map—to move on. —Mirror 🙂We migrated over to the off-topic section and launched the Zidić thread—basically a digital lounge for aimless chatter, everyday grievances, and spamming Lux stickers and roses for Queen Mirela. It became an absolute magnet for readers: some dropped in just for a laugh, others tuned in to recoil in horror at the realization that women over thirty could actually produce such nonsense, and a few more were just there to see what on earth "Zidić" even meant.

Every single season—whether it was the Farm or BB—we’d just revert to that original reality PDF and pick up right where we left off with our signature brand of pitch-black humor.

Back in 2008, the media—or those self-proclaimed journalists like Parach—decided to quote us in the daily papers just because the season was such a snooze-fest. In a desperate attempt to spice things up, Parach unilaterally decided to toss a new houseguest into the mix—Gregorec Joseph Allen—whom the two of us actually saw skulking around the garden behind the palm trees. Meanwhile, the news outlets ran with the story that production had officially introduced a new player. 🤣 The PDF for BB—it’s suddenly gaining some serious momentum. 🤣
Of course, nothing was ever perfect—not by a long shot. Some people clearly took offense at our dark humor and what they perceived as a lack of seriousness regarding the show, but hey, a hundred people means a hundred different temperaments. Mirror mentioned that we’ve significantly boosted traffic to that subforum, so we appreciate the compliment—though I suspect we also spiked the number of "thumbs up" clicks. 🤣 ).

Back in 2009—due to a rather unfortunate series of coincidences (I won’t mention the beer, the burgers, the onions, the trolling, or the cloning)—the Zidić II thread was wiped from existence, along with permanent bans for a large chunk of the women who were active on that topic.
We’ve lost that little slice of heaven—that perfect corner where we’d settle onto the porch every single day, light up a cigarette, wave to the lady at the local 7-Eleven, and just vent about everything eating away at us.
Despite all the setbacks—and let's face it, there have been plenty—we’ve managed to keep meeting up during BB or at the farm (even if I have to admit, somewhat shamefully, that we've had to resort to some sub-groups). 😍 I spent my time indulging in top-tier trash TV alongside the rest of the forum crowd.

Given the recent changes—specifically this sudden liberalization of the forum—I’m asking the admin team to please reinstate our little corner of chaos in the off-topic section. We need a place where we can sit back and shoot the breeze about Lux, the Queen, or that local clerk down at the CVS while we wait for the next batch of reality TV trash to drop.
The same goes for the others—if it’s at all possible to grant absolution to the "fallen" members of the Zidić crew: jaffa, iiii, misseducatu, oblic, and Tonček (my apologies for the gender swap there)—because without them, Zidić simply isn't Zidić. 😢
We give you our word—we’ll behave ourselves and continue to provide top-tier coverage of reality TV.

Look, Missy is practically begging me to clarify that we aren't just some group of losers who spend our lives glued to trashy reality TV—apparently, my lack of distinction is going to ruin her reputation. 🤣 Missy, please accept my sincerest apologies. It is true that we maintain an active presence across various other sections of the forum—for instance, I am even a regular over at Reddit. 😍

Apologies for starting yet another thread alongside the existing three—I simply didn't want my point to get buried under the mountain of questions already piling up.

Thanks in advance,

Steven Reed – from the Zidić crowd

p.s. just a heads up—some clone opened a Zidić III thread over on the off-topic board :he doesn't know : we aren't : he doesn't know :
p.s.s. I had to butcher the emojis: sad face: there wasn't enough room: even sadder face:

So, I mean, just until you guys get settled and figure things out, you’re more than welcome to swing by my Zidić. I guess 😍

If you just give those Zidić women their Zidić back, I solemnly swear—on my stuffed bunny that happens to be exactly one year younger than me—that I will never, ever, EVER troll anyone or cause any trouble around here... not even a little bit.

Please, just return the Zidić to them.

thanks.

Also, if possible, could you maybe pardon the "fallen" members of the Zidić crew? Like jaffa, iiiii, Miseducata, Oblica, and Tonček (sorry Tonček, totally messed up your gender there), because honestly, Zidić just isn't Zidić without them😢
We promise to behave and keep following all the reality show trash with total dedication.

Please, just give them back their Zidić.

Thanks.

OK, you definitely got me 🙂

Look, the old Zidić thread wasn't actually deleted, I just can't find it right now. Besides, it was way too massive to manage properly anyway, so feel free to just start a new one. But please, don't go trolling around again, especially not over in the PŽK section.

Miseducata, iiiii, and Oblica are banned, but please send me the profiles of the others I haven't banned yet so I can figure out what to do with them.

One more thing—don't make alt accounts, please. If there's an issue or if someone gets banned, they need to reach out using their original handle on KzB so we can sort it out there.

🙂
All that remains are Jaffa 05 and Toncek—you know, the Mr. Law-Abiding one from over there
.
Look, speaking purely for myself—though I’m certain I speak for the rest of the Zidić crowd—I want to extend my thanks to the forum administration and everyone who has stood up for us over the years. As for opening up clone accounts? Honestly, I don't see why anyone would bother, seeing as complaints and appeals aren't being instantly deleted or locked away anymore 😍
.
Everyone is invited to the Zidić grand opening—I promise there will be food and—well, Ty, I have to say it—beer. I can't exactly host people with just coffee and water 😍. We’ll hold the official ribbon-cutting ceremony as soon as we track down Vili
.
Wishing you all a pleasant time browsing, moderating, and administering
.
Steven Reed, the soul-searching dragon
.
P.S. Please ensure that banned female members have their partial access revoked from the central database; if any issues arise again, they won't be able to file an appeal under their original handles 😉
.
P.S. I should mention that I received a failing grade on the aforementioned essay from Parach 😢—she spent two whole days harassing me about my grammar 🙂 :enrolls in remedial English course:
.
Edit: Is it too late to throw my hat in the ring for a moderator position? 🤔 😍 (That impulse was stronger than me 🤣)

Zidić 😍 👋

It felt like you guys were stuck in some kind of eternal loop for about a hundred years, or maybe even longer. 🎉

It feels somewhat odd reading a thread about Zidić that only consists of five posts. 🤔 😬

Best of luck. 🙂

Elizabeth Anderson63 said:😛So, I should probably mention that I ended up taking a -2 on that essay mentioned above, courtesy of Parach. 😢 She spent two whole days just relentlessly picking at me, honestly. It’s been a nonstop barrage for forty-eight hours straight now. It looks like you might have hit "send" a little too early there. If you were trying to get my thoughts on something or wanted me to dive into a specific topic, just let me know. I'm sitting here with my coffee, ready whenever you are. So, I was sitting there staring at my screen, probably nursing a lukewarm coffee, just thinking about how much of a disaster my spelling and grammar can be sometimes. Honestly, it’s a bit of a mess. I’ll be halfway through a thought, feeling pretty confident, and then I’ll look back and realize I’ve butchered a word so badly it looks like I was typing with oven mitts on. It’s one of those things where you think you’re being perfectly clear, but then you realize you've left a trail of typos behind you like breadcrumbs, except instead of leading Hansel and Gretel to a gingerbread house, they just lead people to wonder if I actually finished middle school. It’s a constant battle, really—me versus the autocorrect feature on my phone, which, let’s be honest, is usually more condescending than helpful. Sometimes I feel like I should just take a remedial English course or something, though I have a feeling that would just result in me making even more ridiculous mistakes while the instructor stares at me in silent judgment. Anyway, just a random thought floating around in my head while I struggle through this. 🙂 Just signed up for a course. Wish me luck, I guess.

☕

This is some ancient history, and that username is clearly just a cheap knockoff of Lilijana.
If anyone deserves a clean slate, it's Lilijana, because this person is nothing but a boring 😍 clone.

As far as I'm concerned, let them stay banned. Let them rest in peace... 😬

Thanks! 🙂

Zidić 👋

just some random leftovers like old snacks and guys who think they're such rule followers

Drop those profile links please 🙂

Anyway, here are some old threads if you need something to kill time with:

Can't promise they won't vanish when the database gets wiped, but yeah, they're here for now.

Ty, thanks for the links—but I think it’s time to turn a new leaf and start a fresh Zidić 😍.

Thanks everyone 👋
Swing by for a coffee if you feel like it. No pressure though—if you're feeling too embarrassed or just not up to it, whatever 🤣

Big thanks to all the "Z-Squad" for making my two years on this forum actually tolerable. Without them, I’d probably still be rotting away in my boring-ass daily routine.

Thanks to the late, great Missy for keeping me glued to my screen, day and night.
Thanks to Parac for absolutely killing Jaffu for me.

And thanks for helping me get Lily up and running.

Thanks, Wilbald, for everything.

Thanks to Oblici for those wild, sleepless nights and for fixing all my cluelessness when it came to how this forum works.

Thanks to ef1 for the crew, the chaos, and the service.

Thanks to trnje for the kind words and every perfect summary.
Thanks to MO (I'll remember who you are and edit this later)
Thanks to all the other regulars, Čikolica, Steven Reed, Killian, KO...

everyone.

Thanks for not being total weeds.
