That's what I said, but it really is convenient.

Whoops. We had Listen 80 defined twice in the apache logs. It's all better now.

Hey, listen?

Twitter isn't stupid. At least, not inherently so. However, it isn't something people have to have either. It's a thing. It's very useful. That's all.

But for serious, if you're a person who both cares about things enough to need up to the second updates on them in 150 characters or less, and subscribes only to news sources/insiders/etc. on those things I could see where it would be useful.

For the rest of us it's just going to be a place to watch stupid people post stupid updates about their stupid boring lives in very short posts.

Besides, the entire admin/mod/PR staff has Shiney's number. We text/call him when we notice the forums are down. He doesn't need a twitter for that, and the rest of you can just wait patiently for things to get fixed or wait for information to trickle down the grape vine (and probably hit POS's or someone else's twitter, admittedly).

The whole fuck Twitter/Facebook/Myspace/Whatever thing people seem to have going on just smacks of I don't even know what. I mean, Blues' whole spiel is pretty asinine, and Shiney really doesn't need a Twitter, but I wouldn't say you're coming off any better than Blues. Just a bunch of blegh all around.

No, I will fully admit that reading that whole thing over just got way too long to be funny, which was what I was aiming for and missed like Babe Ruth on a bad day.

Everyone else is just being everyone else reacting to me being asinine.

Edit: Also, I can totally dig their attitude, because until very recently, I was in the same boat. I only joined Twitter so I could talk to Mac when the server melted and ended up chatting up Token before Mac followed me and snowballing from there. I only just got a Facebook after literal years of outright refusing so my mom would stop spamming my email with StumbleUpon links. I have to say I still don't particularly like it, but it's an easy way to post info to my family and is slightly less painful than sifting through pages of unmarked links.

Nah, I totally get how Twitter can be neat, moreso once I got a smartphone. It's truly merely a particular use of it that is stupid, much how my gripes about FB before joining it could be traced to the ways people I know used it rather than the service itself.

NOW EVERYBODY APOLOGIZE AND HUG AND KISS AND MAKE UP AND WE'LL HAVE CUPCAKES.

Krylo · 10-21-2010, 12:45 PM

But I'm pretty sure you can't JUST hug and kiss NonCon.

It's like having just one potato chip.

I just never used twitter because it never really occurred to me as being useful to my specific situation. I might start using it more since it's an inconvenience for me to use pesterchum given how I installed it and no one was ever on at the same time after that week we all discovered it.

And no, this thread is no longer about server downtime. It's not my fault, I'm just the guy who comes to watch the train wreck.
