and this coming from the guy who just posted eridolphin shit


How did it go over on Skype? I bet there were many LOL's to be had.
Make a new one, Mahz.

Why aren't people reacting to this?

I wonder...
If this becomes a bandwagon I'm going to shit in your mouth.
I'm probably not going to be doing what I have been anymore.


I had good intentions, y'know.

Kill Bones - 2014 said Awson has good intentions.


I'm not sure how bad it got in Skype, but hopefully there's still something to salvage.


Carry on.
I'll shrug with you and try to get over it.

Eh, a lot of the active people who aren't around in Spam now are actually people who were never part of Skype. Most of the people in Skype who're way less active in Spam are those who had been talking about moving away from Spam anyway (like Sophi and Trip) and would have used the site death and revival as a reason to fuck off regardless of Skype (and there's a strong argument to be made that it is what kept them around for so long in the first place). Then there are the folks like Hank who have been getting less and less active in both Spam and Skype for a long while. A lot of the others in Skype are people like Xiga, Hellis, and Holmishire that haven't been highly active in Spam for a long time, or maybe never were super active.There are only a few people in Skype who were fairly active before the guild crash. and weren't already talking about losing interest in Spam. that are now rather inactive whilst being around a lot on Skype. The only ones I can think of who fit that definition are Herzi, Smiral, and me. You're blaming Skype for Spam now being slow and kinda garbage, when in reality there's greater blame to be placed on other things (like the ~month of the site being dead). It's just silly, dude.


That makes sense.

You don't have me entirely though...

... unfortunately....

-sigh-
It's just a quality control thing. The guy's avatar has 'fancy' and Spiderman memes in it! If that isn't indicative of some fucking middle-school level humor, I don't know what is. I'm just used to that level of shit not flying here. And it really fucking shouldn't, because now there's shit jokes at every corner. Good job with that tolerance.

There, now I've been properly aggressive, Jorick. Ya fuckin' hypocrite. (I'm thinking about doing a here, but I'm not sure if you're genuinely cross with me as of late.) Fuck it, - I'll extend the friendly hand.

...

I'm sort of being a Nazi lately.

Hrm.

Skype has like 34+ people in it right now and has mostly been used lately for people discussing RP's, or that's what it seems like when I'm online. If you want an add, ask. If you don't, don't ask. If you want an add and then hate it, leave. Easy peasy. It can get annoying if people bicker but that's usually because of Turt and we just give him a time out until he behaves.


I understand. And I really don't have a problem with it on the surface. Like I said in my edit on the last page, I love Spam and all of the people in Skype. I have just developed a dislike for Skype (the entity) for what I perceived as a negative impact on Spam.

And when this thread ends I will be done talking about it.

You're making the grossly false assumption that activity would be much higher in Spam if the Skype group wasn't a thing. You know how before the guild crashed Spam was still rather highly active? Yeah, Skype group was highly active. It a completely different venue that truly has little bearing on the Spam section of RPG, aside from the fact that the people are mostly brought in from here.Also, she totes did.[7:21:52 PM] *** Sophi removed Awson from this conversation. ***[7:22:27 PM] Sophi: what a hateful, snide little man[7:22:34 PM] Sophi: why stay around people you can't stand, i don't get it[7:22:52 PM] Sophi: it's like going to a party and talking about how much you hate parties


You can't say for sure. Just like I can't

In my opinion, it "truly" does have an actual bearing on Spam. It was only slight back in the day.

After the guild went down, Skype stopped being the off-shoot of the constant that was the Guild. When the Guild died, Skype became the comfortable constant. And now Spam is the off-shoot in people's minds.

Regarding what Sophi said: I love these people. I don't hate the party. I'm just (apparently misguidedly) trying to save what I think is a sinking ship.

It's saddening that I've become the enemy.

I can't decide if it's been historically more common for the person in my shoes or your guys' shoes to be correct. Which is annoying.
