Popular Post John Eucist Posted April 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) https://discord.gg/GJTHZ3r What is Discord? It was originally meant for gamers and real-time voice-chat however it has become very useful for everything else and for text chat purposes as well. For our purposes it's basically "IRC for the 21st century" (as @esaj put it) for euc discussion. It's a real-time group text chat that is "cloud-based" so that you can log on anytime and still see the message history on what you missed while you were offline. The @mention system works wonderfully and the private messaging system works great too. Just click the link at the top to get started. Be aware that, like anything new, it takes time to get the ball rolling with activity. Be the early-adopter and "roll the ball" (I mean wheel). Click this link to go straight to the channel. EDIT: Make sure you download the Discord mobile app too. Very awesome. Thanks to @freetheoranges for suggesting to set up a Discord channel for this forum.

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) Did I hear my username being mentioned? Oooh gotta try this out... hope it's like those naughty chat rooms with the sexy ladies... But technically though I'm a finger pointer of thread derailers. There's a subtle difference there.

Popular Post esaj Posted April 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) I think this is a good addition to the forums, maybe we can tone down at least a bit all the chit-chat on the forum topics and chat in Discord instead. I haven't had that much time tonight to partake in the chat (I've had really, really important things to do, like spend two hours to figure out that I put two wires bass ackwards on a board), but am planning on at least following what's going on there. Btw, you don't have to register an account unless you want to, just pick a username and join in (although, I hope people won't start spamming or trolling using fake usernames and whatnot, so we won't have even more moderating to do ) EDIT: John changed the settings so that now you have to register, and it's at least relatively easy to use (if you're familiar with IRC, it's pretty similar with nice clean interface and without having to type commands ). Try it out and see if you like it. Edited April 18, 2017 by esaj 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, just FYI in case someone was hoping it would be different - it's all dudes in there. No hot females wanting to share private photos. It's like someone popped my balloon of hopes and dreams all of a sudden... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try it out and see if you like it. The main reason for changing it was to prevent people from logging in with one platform (say PC) without an account, and then logging in via another platform (say Mobile) and end up having two different accounts with the same name before "claiming" either accounts. This happened to @Tilmann hence why I changed it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esper Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I just noticed this. This would be great as a means of 'Comms' during a group ride so people can chat with one another through the full face helmets while traveling at high speeds and not needing to shout. I could have probably made that sentence easier to comprehend, but I feel you guys would understand it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda tired of being a beta tester for China. no shit! i’ve learned a great deal more about how chinese companies philosophies are this past year screwing with euc’s. it’s one thing buying our everyday throwaway shit that is chinese made, but china assembles/makes a lot of big ticket items, like kadey krogen trawler yachts in taiwan and cirrus airplanes. i was actually contemplating those purchases to waste my money on if and when i sell some land but now, i’d never trust anything made in china that my health is in their hands. that’s why i don’t go faster than 15mph or less on these sketchy wheels. they could be safe, i think, if there was quality control. i’m sure within the next few years we are gonna be seeing passenger drones and those beta testers are gonna be the brave ones. u have a country in china with over 4 times the population of the usa. human life and suffering isn’t as expensive in china. attorneys are probably executed in china. when they try to bring products here that could endanger human life, they will get a taste of our zillion ambulance chasing attorneys and jurys that award ridiculous amounts of damages for a little broken pinky. in china the settlement probably goes like this, i’m sorry ur husband got killed by this defective whatever, we are gonna award u with a lifetime of his lost wages. here’s $10k, now go away. and the widow is probably happy. euc’s are relativity new, but i wonder if any euc companies have been sued yet by american consumers. i’m sure segway ninebot have had a bunch to deal with because of all their other products. some of this is tongue in cheek for those that don’t get it but that’s my take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that to work, EUCs would need to be not banned in Japan first (no riding on public roads, only indoors/on private property) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they pay more than China I don't think that is what he was getting at, but since you mention it... if they were paying Beta-testers no doubt Japan would pay more. I doubt you could get anything out of China in terms of cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly, not typical industry practice to pay beta testers anywhere that I am aware. My snarky rhetorical question aside, I'm not quite sure how you could be certain that Japan would be willing to pay more than China. That view doesn't sound like the product of sound economic analysis; it sounds like a perception bias that has shaped a rather unfortunate belief. The trouble with a belief is that it is compelled to seek confirmation rather than truth. Truth is very often discarded, ignored, or marginalized if it does not confirm a belief. Dubious assumptions are very often given the weight of fact to support a belief built on bias. Edited November 10, 2018 by Lutalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
