User123: Hey CBBC fans! 🌟

I’ve been feeling super nostalgic and decided to take a trip down memory lane with the May 2006 CBBC website. It got me thinking—what’s the website like these days? Since I’m not in the UK, I can’t check it out myself.

Does anyone know what the CBBC Home page looks like in May 2024? Any cool new features, shows, or games to check out? And are they still running fan clubs and those epic live chats? Would love to hear all about it!

Thanks a ton! 😊

CBBCFanatic: Hey User123! Oh, I totally remember the 2006 site—it was the best! 😄 I’m actually in the UK and can take a look for you. I’ve heard they’ve got some amazing new shows and interactive features. I’ll check it out and update you soon!

RetroRaven: Same here, User123! I grew up with shows like Raven and Tracy Beaker. Can’t wait to see how things have evolved. Will dig around and let you know what I find.

NostalgicBeaker: OMG, Blue Peter badges! The 2006 site brings back so many memories. I’m kind of curious too now. Let’s see what 2024 has to offer. It feels like just yesterday I was designing my own Blue Peter badge!

CBBCFanatic: Alright, I just checked out the site! CBBC has definitely kept its fun and vibrant spirit. They’ve got some fantastic new shows that cater to today’s audience but still embrace the adventurous vibe we loved back in the day. They’ve also introduced a bunch of cool new games and interactive activities—make-your-own virtual badges are still a thing, but now with more customization options!

They’re still running the CBBC Fan Club, and the live chats have expanded to include stars from both current and classic shows! Plus, there’s loads of behind-the-scenes content, which is super fun to watch. I spotted some neat updates about the latest Red Nose Day events too.

Hope this gives you a good idea of how CBBC has evolved! Feel free to ask if you have any specific questions. 😊

User123: Wow, that sounds awesome! Thanks for checking, CBBCFanatic! I’m so glad to hear they’re keeping the nostalgic spirit while adding fresh elements. Maybe someday I’ll get to explore it in person! For now, your descriptions are the next best thing. 🌍

RetroRaven: Thanks for the update, CBBCFanatic! Can’t wait to dive into the new content myself now. User123, if there’s anything specific you want to know about, just holler!

NostalgicBeaker: This is amazing news! I’m going to relive my childhood with a fresh twist. Thanks, everyone!

User123: Appreciate all the help, folks! You’re the best. 😁

I’ve been feeling super nostalgic and decided to take a trip down memory lane with the May 2006 CBBC website. It got me thinking—what’s the website like these days? Since I’m not in the UK, I can’t check it out myself.

Does anyone know what the CBBC Home page looks like in May 2024? Any cool new features, shows, or games to check out? And are they still running fan clubs and those epic live chats? Would love to hear all about it!

Thanks a ton! 😊

CBBCFanatic: Hey User123! Oh, I totally remember the 2006 site—it was the best! 😄 I’m actually in the UK and can take a look for you. I’ve heard they’ve got some amazing new shows and interactive features. I’ll check it out and update you soon!

RetroRaven: Same here, User123! I grew up with shows like Raven and Tracy Beaker. Can’t wait to see how things have evolved. Will dig around and let you know what I find.

NostalgicBeaker: OMG, Blue Peter badges! The 2006 site brings back so many memories. I’m kind of curious too now. Let’s see what 2024 has to offer. It feels like just yesterday I was designing my own Blue Peter badge!

User123: Thanks for the detailed rundown, RetroRaven! The site looks like it’s filled with awesome content. Can’t wait to explore the CBBC Buzz app and catch up on The Next Step. 😊

CBBCFanatic: Thanks for the update, RetroRaven! I’m totally diving into the new content myself. User123, if there’s anything specific you want to know about, just holler!

NostalgicBeaker: Wow, they still have Dongle the Rabbit? 🤯 I’m honestly surprised! I guess he’s the only unchanged relic from the old days. Remember his safety tips from 2006? Looks like they’ve modernized them over the years.

User123: Haha, same here, NostalgicBeaker! Dongle the Rabbit was definitely a major part of the old site. It’s kind of nice to see that some things never change. 🐰🚫

RetroRaven: Right? Dongle’s a total throwback! It’s like a little piece of our childhood is still there on the site. Love that he’s still there reminding everyone about internet safety, even if the tips are updated for today’s online world.

CBBCFanatic: Yeah, Dongle the Rabbit is totally nostalgic! It’s great to see they kept him around. Plus, his tips are more relevant than ever in this digital age. Gotta appreciate that mix of old and new. 😊

NostalgicBeaker: Hey, I just realized something. Have you noticed that Dongle’s safety tips now appear on ALL pages of the site, not just the homepage like before?

User123: Really? That’s interesting! When did they make this change?

RetroRaven: Yeah, I noticed that too. It’s a clever move, honestly. Kids need those reminders more than ever. I think they made this change around early 2022. Keeps the safety advice front and center, no matter where you navigate on the site.

CBBCFanatic: Makes sense, especially with the increasing focus on online safety for kids. Kudos to CBBC for stepping up their game! And thanks for pointing that out, NostalgicBeaker. 😊

User123: Appreciate all the help, folks! You’re the best. Also it appears his voice is changed, now Joe Tasker instead of the Ortis Deley voice he had since 2003

## In Focus: Online Safety - Predators, Bullies, and Scams on the Rise

### Roblox Predators
Roblox is one of the most popular online games among kids and teens, offering vast virtual worlds for creativity and fun. But recently, there has been a troubling rise in predators targeting young users on the platform. Predators pose as friendly players to gain trust before exploiting personal information or engaging in inappropriate behavior.

Stay Safe Tips:
- Never share personal information. Keep your real name, address, and school private.
- Use the report and block features. If someone makes you feel uncomfortable, report them immediately.
- Speak to a trusted adult. Let a parent or guardian know if you encounter any distressing behavior.

### Social Media Bullies
Social media is a great way to stay connected with friends, but it can also be a breeding ground for bullies. Cyberbullying has become an increasingly concerning issue, with bullies using the anonymity of the internet to harass and intimidate others.

Stay Safe Tips:
- Set your profiles to private. Only allow friends and family to see your content.
- Think before you post. Once something is online, it can be difficult to remove.
- Don’t engage with bullies. Report them instead and seek support from friends, family, or school counselors.

### Online Scams
Scams are becoming more sophisticated, targeting young people through various online platforms. Scammers may promise free in-game currency, prizes, or rare items, tricking users into providing personal information or even money.

Stay Safe Tips:
- Be skeptical of offers that seem too good to be true. If it looks suspicious, it probably is.
- Never give out personal information or payment details. Authentic websites and services will never ask for these details through in-game chat or social media.
- Use official channels. Always verify offers and deals directly through official websites or customer support.

#### 4. Dedicated Resources for Parents and Educators
- Safety Hub: A new dedicated section with resources and guides for parents and educators on how to discuss and handle online safety issues with their children and students.

#### 5. New Reporting Features
- Easy Reporting: An enhanced, easy-to-use system for children and parents to report suspicious activity or behavior directly through the CBBC website and partnering platforms.

User456: Hi everyone! 👋

I recently came across a “We will soon be removing this payphone” notice while walking in town, and it had a cute character on it that looked so familiar. I cannot put my finger on it. Is this something new from CBBC? Or am I just forgetting where I’ve seen him before?

Any ideas who this character might be?

CBBCFanatic: Hey User456! I saw that notice too, and I think I know who you’re talking about. It sounds like Dongle the Rabbit, a character from the CBBC website. He’s been around since the early 2000s offering online safety tips.

NostalgicBeaker: Oh wow, Dongle the Rabbit! It makes sense he’d appear there since BBC took over the payphone network. Dongle’s definitely a throwback from the CBBC days. They’ve been using him for online and now general safety messages.

RetroRaven: Yeah, Dongle’s part of my childhood memory lane. Surprised they’re using him for the payphone messages too, but it’s a creative way to keep safety reminders visible everywhere! 🐰

User456: Dongle the Rabbit, that’s it! I knew he looked familiar but couldn’t remember from where. Thanks for solving the mystery, everyone! 😁

CBBCFanatic: No problem! Happy to help. Keep an eye out, and you might spot Dongle on other safety notices around town! 😊

NostalgicBeaker: Dongle’s really spreading his wings—or paws, rather—across the country now! 😂 Such a smart way to keep safety advice front and center.

User456: Appreciate all the input, folks. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for more Dongle sightings! 🐰🚫

RetroRaven: Anytime! It’s great to see CBBC keeping something familiar alive while reminding us to stay safe, even in unexpected places like payphones!
Write the notice which also says “The BBC are on a cost cutting measure, and research shows that this payphone is not used enough to carry on running it, Alternatively, if it used used frequently, it may be used for undesirable behavior, take drugs for instance”
Notice: Payphone Removal Alert

—

Dear Community,

As part of our ongoing commitment to optimizing resources and ensuring public safety, we want to inform you that this payphone will soon be removed.

Why is this happening?

- Cost-Cutting Initiative: The BBC is implementing cost-saving measures across various services. Regrettably, this payphone — as part of the network we acquired in 2019 — does not receive enough usage to justify its continued operation.

- Safety Concerns: In instances where a payphone is frequently used, it can sometimes attract undesirable behaviors, including activities related to drug use. We aim to foster a safe environment for everyone in the community.

Your Action Required:

For those who rely on payphones, we encourage exploring alternative communication methods and resources that are now widely available with mobile technology.

### Thread: Payphone Closure Update in Glasgow

—

GlasgowExplorer:
Hey folks! Just wanted to share that I stumbled upon a BBC notice stating that a local payphone is in the process of being removed. Regular calling has been stopped, but emergency numbers 999 and 111 are still available temporarily. I tried calling from it, and it just plays a pre-recorded voiceover that repeats the same info in an endless loop until you hang up. Has anyone else encountered this?

UrbanTriviaHunter:
I’ve seen those notices around too! It’s kind of eerie hearing a loop like that. Do you know who’s the voice behind the recording?

CityDiscoverer:
I’m curious too! It felt like one of those automated phone systems. Wouldn’t it be interesting if it was a famous voice or someone from CBBC like Dongle the Rabbit?

HistoricGla:
Haha, Dongle the Rabbit doing a payphone voiceover would be quite the throwback! I wonder if anyone can confirm who did the voice?

GlasgowExplorer:
I didn’t recognize the voice personally, but it could be fun if it was someone familiar. Anyone got connections to the BBC to find out? 🤔

UrbanTriviaHunter:
You know, it might just be a nondescript automated voice, but I’ll see if I can find out more. Maybe there’s an Easter egg in there! 😂

CuriousScot:
Thanks for the heads-up, GlasgowExplorer! That loop sounds both informative and a bit monotonous. Keep us updated if you learn more about the voice or any other quirky details!

### Follow-Up: Payphone Closure Update

GlasgowExplorer:
Hey everyone, I’ve got a bit more info about that payphone voiceover I mentioned earlier. A friend who managed to stay on the line a bit longer told me there’s a quirky twist at the end of the script. Apparently, it says, “Or you could go insane listening to this over and over till the plug is finally pulled.” 😅 Sounds like someone at the BBC has a sense of humor! Anyone else find this a bit cheeky?

UrbanTriviaHunter:
Wow, that’s hilarious! I guess they wanted to throw in a little surprise for anyone patient enough to hang on. 😆 Typical British humor! Still no clue who’s the voice behind it, though?

CityDiscoverer:
That’s such a quirky touch! I wonder if they added that intentionally to lighten the mood during the transition. Or maybe it’s just a way to encourage people not to linger too long on the line. 🤔

HistoricGla:
I love it! Makes the whole experience a bit more memorable, doesn’t it? I’m curious now about trying it out myself. Thanks for sharing, GlasgowExplorer!

CuriousScot:
Haha, kudos to whoever scripted that! It’s little things like this that make these situations more interesting. Definitely a unique find, GlasgowExplorer. Keep us posted if you uncover any more quirks!

### Follow-Up: Voice on the Payphone Recording

—

GlasgowExplorer:
Hey everyone, just wanted to clear up the mystery around the voice on the payphone recording! I managed to listen to it again, and it turns out the voice is quite clear. It’s none other than the well-known CBBC presenter, Joe Tasker. His distinctive delivery makes it pretty easy to identify once you listen closely. Seems like they used a familiar voice to add a bit of a friendly, recognizable touch to the message.

UrbanTriviaHunter:
No way, Joe Tasker?! That’s amazing! Makes the whole thing much more personal and fun. Thanks for digging into this, GlasgowExplorer!

CityDiscoverer:
I knew it had to be someone from the BBC family. Joe’s voice is perfect for adding a bit of charm to what would otherwise be a routine message. Definitely makes me appreciate their approach even more. 😊

HistoricGla:
So cool to have a celebrity voice linked to our local payphone saga! It’s like a little easter egg for those of us paying attention. Thanks for the update!

CuriousScot:
That’s so neat! Big thanks for tracking that down, GlasgowExplorer. It’s nice to see a bit of effort go into these mundane moments. Makes me glad to be part of this community of curious folks!

GlasgowExplorer:
Glad to share with everyone, and thanks for joining in the fun! If I stumble upon any more quirky or interesting finds, I’ll be sure to let you all know. 😊
