Thanks for the kind words.

I would say I'm really happy with how it is going. Too early to say if it will be a success or not (payments dont start until the start of each month).

As for rewards, the current one is quite simple. I can match up usernames and emails to those on GOL, if not I will message people.

Will look to add other rewards when we can come up with cost effective interesting stuff for people.

All of that tells me one thing: Telegram is still secure, and hasn't been broken. I am using it for the useful features more than anything.

Anyway, we are going way offtopic ;)

Quoting: lucifertdarkTelegram isn't secure, the people who want to control our entire lives already have their claws deep into that piece of software & can eavesdrop any time they like, avoid it like the plague.

Ive seen people say that, but no one can ever back it up.

Quoting: ShmerlIts interface changed quite a lot during the recent years. How long ago did you check it?

Just now, it's terrible.

I've tried looking into diaspora, but to be honest I find the entire interface terrible. It's really not for me.

Quoting: jakejw93Interesting. What times/dates do you do these podcasts? And what would one have to do to get involved?

The podcasts are currently recorded twice a month on saturday night/sunday morning usually at either 10 pm or 12 am UTC. As far as being on them a decent mic and willingness to be recorded is all that is really needed.

Ouch quite late then. If it was an hour earlier I might have been able to pop on myself sometime.

Quoting: GBeeMy mouse doesn't flicker, or at least I've never noticed it, but then my attention tends to be on the screen when playing the game and not the peripherals.

It's very noticeable if you have the issue, especially in games where you're looking towards a mouse pointer often like strategy games. You would know if you had it I'm sure.

Quoting: TheBossYou may think it's overreacting, but I will keep pointing out developers that do stuff like this.

Do stuff like what?? Tone it down a little, maybe.

Tone it down? Cheeky.

I think you're fully aware of what I am talking about: Developers who state Linux is a platform right up until release, then release without Linux support and don't mention it anywhere. Forcing me and other users to chase them up for answers.

I will continue to point out developers that do it, as the majority appreciate it. We also have people who like to know what happens with games that we previously covered.

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionOkay so they say it themselves: Teamspeak is expensive and Skype is a hassle, why not just use Mumble?

They host everything for you, it's all at the click of a button and really easy to do.
