Anyway, this came as a blow to me, as I was just telling my sister yesterday how proud I am that Mcleodgaming is still free from the taint of facebook and twitter.....

I don't get it

Social media = bad? Why?
In some situations I can see it, but in this one I don't
All it is is a more convenient way to reach a bunch of people at once


It's not that social media is necessarily bad, it's just that since facebook and twitter are the most popular (might as well be the only) social networking sites, then pretty much each website has the "follow us on twitter", "like us on facebook", etc. spiel, and I'm just getting tired of seeing them. Mcleodgaming did not have it, and that in my humble opinion, made the site feel more personal, and meaningful. (Meaningful, as in, that's where the stuff happened, instead of on the social networking sites)

what makes being a problem, both facebook and twitter are quite popular and the more you say "not taking character requests." people never listen to you.

The goal is to reach as many people as possible, not to have the most coherent fanbase ever gathered on a site.

O.K., stfu about it. There's always the one guy that can't stop b**** about his opinion. Did everyone else that hated FB/Twitter complain like you did? No, so why do you have to be the only one?

Uh... this is the first time I've ever expressed my dislike for Twitter. I use Facebook, it's just Twitter that I can't stand.

Thank the gods for RSS, though. You can use it to subscribe to anything, even Twitter.

But yeah, I will never get a Twitter account, no offense to those of you who do use Twitter. :-_-:

The point is, you didn't have to have a huge block of text expressing your hate for Twitter. These websites can and will give a rather sizable boost to MG's and SSF2's popularity.

But I digress.

We already get hundreds of those. This won't change anything.

On a more positive note, I'm glad to hear about the Fullscreen improvement tweets. I play in FS all the time, and I'm always stuck with crap computers.

Closing this topic

I hope those of you who use these social media will connect with McLeodGaming. Those of you who are not interested in social media or just plain hate it, that's perfectly fine. The whole point of this is to reach more people :?

:lock:
