The Day the Forums Disappeared
« on: September 17, 2010, 03:02:09 AM »
It was cold and dark.

So cold.




What'd ya'll end up doing while the forums were down? I booted up Starcraft 2 off of a guest pass and decided it was shit.

I considered doing that, but decided there wasn't much point.
It got you to post something on twitter besides youtube links though, so that's something.

Well that's the problem: no contribution = no feedback. It's like rule #1 of creating something on the internet.

Well obviously - but who says you have to be the one to run the RPPR twitter? Delegate responsibility!

I would help, but I'm busy with my own website.

You didn't know I had one?

It's at http://www.popgunchaos.com
I'm from Alaska. About Fifty miles south of Ankorage there's a little fishing town, maybe you've heard of it, it's called fuck your momma.

Doesn't Arje basically run the forums? But whatever, you're in charge, convince Tom to do it! With a cattle prod if necessary.

Mmk, gotcha. Wasn't sure about that.

The point should be made though that running an official RPPR twitter (rather than your own) would take about as much effort as maintaining the Facebook group/page/whatever the fuck the word is in the Facebook lexicon.

Could be used to update the fans as to when APs are posted, or if there will be delays explain why.

Just an easy tool to keep fans in the loop.

well, it's not like rppr has new content on a daily basis. The regular rppr podcast pretty much varies from monthly to quarterly releases and the AP podcast is usually weekly. So is twitter really necessary?
