oh wait it's probably bearable on a computer. But on a phone, free spotify is a nightmare. 1) ads. 2) only shuffle which is something I could roll with if not for 3) suddenly they throw random "new" music at you just because. Music that isn't even on your playlist. It is so annoying that I started paying for Premium again after a mere week without it or so. Spotify Premium is amazing though. Listen offline to save mobile data <3 |

I never got on live chatrooms... my computer just hates Java connections which explains all that.
|
I was in the PC IRC a fair bit earlier in the year. I'd like to get back into there. I don't use IRC for anything else though, so I never bothered with a client - in-browser only. I switched from Firefox to Chrome and I can't login with the PC app :( So, yeah. I can't get in anymore

Also, technically speaking, the Pokémon Showdown server chats are live chatrooms. |
I never really saw the point of IRC, no matter how many times I tried to get into it. Skype is just so much more convenient and you can decide who you talk to rather than being in a public chatroom.
|
I like the public nature of it a lot; it means that I never know who I'm going to run into. :) I was so shocked when I got on IRC the first time and saw that mods and admins were just there to chat with. I never would have been brave enough to contact them directly.

i never understood why people were afraid of talking to staff in a conversational nature
bear in mind i have like 3 pages of infractions so i suppose i'm quite familiar with most of them |
everyone knows that they're on a higher plane of existence and can summon a plague of frogs on your doorstep if they so choose!
but I think the stigma mostly comes from maybe giving too much weight to a position of authority on a forum? |
Like Oryx, I like it cos of it's public nature. It's like DCC threads, but discussion goes a lot faster, which I prefer.

I'm flying to South Korea very soon now! Next thing I'm probably going to do is to post again once I'm there.

Staff are thirsty for interaction.
She said, generalizing heavily. |

But yeah there's no point in avoiding staff members. If any person believes that they have higher authority or importance over someone simply because they are a staff member on a Pokémon forum, there is something distinctly wrong with their brain. PC staff are just people with regular jobs and lives who escape boredom by attempting to enjoy a forum and improve other people's enjoyment on it also. |
i was such a lovely member way back when
|
being scared to talk to staff because they're staff is the goofiest thing of all time to me. I Fail To Understand.

I recall when I used to be intimidated by staff members, but now I actually don't have as much issues interacting with them these days. They're just like any old member but with a teeny bit extra responsibility than their non-staff counterparts. If I was looking at this from a staff perspective, I'd definitely not try and come off as "intimidating" because that's so not my nature. I like to make sure my fellow PCers are actually having fun and enjoying being part of this community! |
It tends to be younger people I guess. When I first joined, PC was my first forum and I felt intimidated by people who had wider knowledge of how things work. I didn't want to overstep myself or see any confrontation.
Now I couldn't care less. I've met the staff I was "afraid" of IRL. I was a silly kid. |
ok but was there anyone not scared of geoff at least once

I have no problem interacting with forum staff since I have years of experience. In fact the only time I felt nervous about interacting with any forum staff was back when I first joined an incarnation of Super Skarmory Forums back in 2009.
|
Meh, some people actively try to use their position to scare people I've noticed. On forums and social media that has hierarchy in general. It's a bit embarrassing.

No wait, I meant the other way around. Or? |
It's also not that surprising though. That is how some people feed/boost their ego.
It's all about how much people around will care and if they will let them behave that way. |
