WLIPP was a bummer...

[Fred]

Well, in theory, I think it was a cool idea.

In application: I think it failed miserably.

The ammount of spam was rediculous, and the people begging for prizes was annoying.

There was little or no moderation of people talking, which lead to a lot of tasteless comments (regarding Amy), and basic stupidity.

Nice try AGD, but I think I'll be skipping the big advertised chat parties from now on. Keep it simple with the pop-up parties, or moderate better.

the $0.02 of a dissapointed AOer.

(Oh, and I left about 9pm EST... it was that annoying)

[HoppysMag]

I agree... to many people only there for the prizes... nice try tom... but it just didnt work right... it was too hectic.

[DiRTyBuNNy]

I wanted to talk and be civil but i couldn't come (darn IIS port filters....this sux)

[ProjectMag]

I totally agree Fred. It's cool and all to give away prizes but spamming a chat room is senseless, especially since most of the comments are nonsense. It's a chat room which means people should talk, not sit by and watch a million lines race by a second. For some, this leads to horrible lag and people are either booted or are forced to leave. They let the channel go after the spamming and people are still typing the same thing over and over. The pop-up parties every so often are a much better idea IMO. It's just too difficult to have a nice chat room party when you have 180 people asking stupid questions and posting nonsense. I left early to do more productive things like play DoD - MIGHT come back at 10 for the Emag giveaway.

P.S. - It's pretty lame having 12 year olds beg for a picture of Amy.

[HoppysMag]

trust me you didnt miss anything but a bunch mooches begging for prizes, and disrespecting Amy.

[tsc]

It's very distasteful.

(someone)AMY PLEASE SEND ME A PIC I HIGHLY RESPECT WHAT YOU ARE DOING FOR THE PAINTBALL WORLD !!!!

what!? She's helping to further the objectivization of women in paintball, along with AGD. *grumble*

[DiRTyBuNNy]

i guess i don't feel so bad that i can't get in...but i still hate feeling left out...

[jah871]

ya, i was disapointed in it. there were way to many people there you could read anything in the chat and so many people were spamming. i would have rather had tom lock the channel and talk for 3 hours and do some contests.

[CRASHKING]

the e-mail wasn't working either

[frgood]

Good Idea jah871. ..We could respond via e-mail or IM.
Perhaps that a cheap moderated live discussion.

This is how things get better...trial and error.

[Fred]

checked in again

I've stepped in again... to see if anything is going differently... and it's Not. Go Figure.

Tom's giving away some Drops and Gas-thrus.

The email thing gets old fast... especially when you send 40 or so and just suck up bandwidth.

every email i sent earlier bounced too.

IMO... the wave thing gets old really fast too...

[frgood]

What about a neetmeeting type of thing. Those are usually more controlled

[Rooster]

Objectification of women, that really makes me laugh. If she didn't want to be doing it, she wouldn't. She can choose not to. As long as there are women willing to objectify themselves, i have no problem looking.
