phun phorum thread: jonas chat screed

skunkwaffle starts things off with a reasonable complaint about the jonastko chat last night at the official chat:

"so tonight Jonas chatted with the fans in the official LG15 chat room.

I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate the creators on once again completely ruining something that could have been a great addition to the LG experience.

Rather than an interactive experience with the characters, most fans were treated to a completely crippled site, forums, comments, vids and all were almost completely unresponsive.

Those who did actually make it into the chat room (an accomplishment for each and every one of you) were treated to unimaginably long lag time and crashed browsers.

The interaction with JonasTKO was limited at best, and ultimately did not lead to anything constructive.

So thanks again creators, for fucking up something that could have been great. Because of your own pigheadedness and unwillingness to use a chat medium which has been used again and again to further your own story line, I speak of course about IRC, this whole experience has been reduced to a colossal waste of time."

I agree with Skunk. While I wasn't in the chat, I read the transcript and it didn't look constructive at all - well except for Milo's genius comments that is.

You could say, "Well, you know - they don't want to disclose anything outside of the videos," which could be reasonable if everything outside of the videos was considered extra and not necessary to understanding the plot. But we all know that isn't the case - just look at the recent example of Taylor's video talking about Daniel and Jonas going through Bree's bags. That information was not disclosed in a video prior to this one.

This chat should have used the interaction in a much better way. The c's are just fumbling around with this "new art form" and bloody hell, it's not even that new anymore.

Look the fact is they want people to be able to interact with the fans, and then they make it nearly impossible to do so.

have the creators responded to you yet? Greg was in the official chat yesterday afternoon, and seems to avoid the IRC questions there also.
