I submit for your approval: r/philadelphiasocialclub. (self.philadelphia)

submitted ago by weekendofsound

I would like to propose this humbly, as I am a recent transplant to your fair city: For reddit meetups /r/boston has something called /r/BostonSocialClub. It still allows for more organized get togethers, but I think it leaves the door open a little wider for more spontaneous gatherings.

For instance, suppose I have an extra ticket to a show, or even just want someone to grab lunch with- rather than posting to /r/philadelphia in general, I could post to this sub-subreddit so it goes directly to people who might be looking for something to do.

Just a thought.

This seems like it violates rule #1: Never Split The Party.

[–]damooseisloose 7 points8 points ago

The IRC chat room is, in fact, splitting the party. I didn't see an uproar about that.

[–]BevatronArt Museum/NoLibs 6 points7 points ago

So forget the IRC. If you want to host a meetup, post it in the main r/philly.

[–]damooseisloose 1 point2 points ago

I've personally given up on hanging out with anyone in r/philly or the IRC. Maybe I will in the future.

[–]BevatronArt Museum/NoLibs 5 points6 points ago

Because we can't agree how to structure meetups? That's pretty....dramatic.

[–]damooseisloose 2 points3 points ago

No. Because I feel unwelcome.

[–]JimiofEden 4 points5 points ago

That's silly. I welcome everyone that I talk to, IRC-regulars or not, with open arms and a smile. You should start going to better meetups (e.g. ones I go to.)

[–]diligentdogsKensington 4 points5 points ago

I welcome everyone that I talk to

No lie. This man is awesome.

[–]damooseisloose -2 points-1 points ago

That's okay, I think I'm done.

[–]JimiofEden 5 points6 points ago

=( That's really your own loss. If you ever do decide to come out in the future, let me know. =D

[–]damooseisloose -1 points0 points ago

I'll be fine, I have enough activities and interests as it is. And of course if I create a meetup you will always be welcome. :)

[–]gk128Lord Classy McClassington of Classterly Rock 3 points4 points ago

To be fair you were never unwelcome to any meetups, and around the time you first stopped coming out people wondered where you were.

There have been plenty of non-alcoholic/bar meetup threads where you replied about not wanting to go for one reason or another.

If you don't want to come out that is fine, but it's not because people don't want you there. Over these last few months it seems you have not wanted to come.

[–]damooseisloose -1 points0 points ago

I was talking about feeling unwelcome in the IRC more than the meetups. If I know of a meetup and I'm interested in going, I will show up.

[–]gk128Lord Classy McClassington of Classterly Rock 1 point2 points ago

I disagree with you being unwelcome in IRC as well. Everytime you have been in recently I saw didn't seem that way. Anyway yes, IRC or don't IRC. Meetup or don't meet up. We will be doing both either way. You are of course always welcome to do so.

[–]JoeCoTCherry Hill NJ 4 points5 points ago

So your opinion on this doesn't really matter, does it? You're not going to come to meetups anyway....

[–]damooseisloose -2 points-1 points ago

My opinion matters because I say it matters. You can pay attention to it or not, that's your choice.

[–]TreeLoveDiscGolf -1 points0 points ago

i'm paying attention. your opinion matters to me. and your "flair" is quite similar to my opinions

[–]damooseisloose -1 points0 points ago

Why thank you dear. This is the Internet, do people really think that I'm going to shut up just because they tell me that my opinion doesn't matter? I figured he of all people could do better.

[–]llanor 2 points3 points ago

do people really think that I'm going to shut up just because they tell me that my opinion doesn't matter?

Watch out.

[–]gk128Lord Classy McClassington of Classterly Rock 9 points10 points ago

Facts don't have a place in my statement. Stop pointing out the lack of them.

This just splits the party a 3rd time. We are creating too much chaos. The IRC is separate from Reddit. Sure we do a lot, but it's all impromptu. Anything major gets announced here.

The current system is totally broken, but I am not sure this is going to be the solution.

[–]BevatronArt Museum/NoLibs 3 points4 points ago

Agreed.

[–]Simon_the_CannibalCenter City 2 points3 points ago

I, along with Bevatron, are going to do some housekeeping in r/philly soon. Unfortunately, I am still a lazy bastard.

[–]cachinnateSociety Hill/Temple 4 points5 points ago

It's not splitting. Everyone in r/philly is invited. It's not our fault if they don't want to come in.

And gk's right, major things we plan in IRC always end up in here anyway.

[–]BevatronArt Museum/NoLibs 5 points6 points ago

I do think it is, cach, but I don't think it HAS to be. People on the IRC need to be posting meetups back here.

[–]damooseisloose 4 points5 points ago

It is splitting the party. You guys have plenty of meetups that you don't even bother listing on r/philly. Like Steak 'n Shake for instance. I had NO idea that was going on.

I think it's fair game at this point. The party has already been broken for months.

[–]JoeCoTCherry Hill NJ 4 points5 points ago

The problem with listing meetups on /r/philadelphia is that a bunch of people say they're going to come, and then don't show.

I specifically didn't list Steak n Shake because it was a road trip. With a road trip you really need to know who's coming, because you're giving people rides. When I planned the Renn Fair trip a bunch of people said they were coming, and didn't show, or said they could give rides, and didn't. This caused a huge clusterfuck and a lot of headache. I kept the Steak n Shake trip to IRC only so that I wouldn't have to deal with that again, at least not at the same scale.

[–]BevatronArt Museum/NoLibs 0 points1 point ago

Joe - What i've found is that you can't rely on anybody, you have to basically assume no one is going to show up. That's the thing that makes being an organizer so difficult. It's also why I suggest only organizing things you have a personal interest in, so that you don't spend all that time for nothing. Do something for yourself, invite others along. Screw the whiners, we're under no obligation to please them.

[–]JoeCoTCherry Hill NJ 1 point2 points ago

I did organize the steak n shake meetup for myself. But I would not organize rides for a bunch of people that weren't going to show up. That's why it was IRC only.

[–]BevatronArt Museum/NoLibs 2 points3 points ago

Yup, and I 100% defend your decision. Anyone with the dedication to step up and organize ANYTHING is above reproach, in my eyes. Bunch of whiners.

[–]damooseisloose -1 points0 points ago

I've been to the IRC tons of times and not one person told me about the road trip. I asked about it and nobody was willing to give me an answer.

I'm just tired. All this inclusive bullshit of the IRC and splitting into groups ("IRC vs the main r/philadelphia") has made me swear off coming to meetups for good. I wouldn't be surprised if other people felt the same. If people want to branch off more... then I don't really give a shit to be honest.

[–]JoeCoTCherry Hill NJ 8 points9 points ago

It was in the meetup bot, it was in the topic, there was a spreadsheet for signing up. I don't know who you asked about it, because it certainly wasn't me.

Looking at the IRC logs, I see you asked once, on January 17th, after midnight, before details were set. Your only mention that I can find is "What's this about steak?"

After that I see you were on as late as January 30th evening, when the Spreadsheet with details and signups was very clearly in the the IRC topic. No more mention of wanting to go to Steak n Shake that I can see.

TLDR Don't give me bullshit.

[–]damooseisloose -5 points-4 points ago

I didn't know what it was, nobody gave me an answer, so I just dropped it. It's not bullshit.

[–]JimiofEden 7 points8 points ago

There was a big shiny link next to it, too.

[–]JoeCoTCherry Hill NJ 10 points11 points ago

Yeah, usually when I want an answer about something I ask obliquely once at midnight weeks before hand and never ask again. I also ignore the messages in ALL CAPS with links about it.

[–]JimiofEden 7 points8 points ago

We did have it in the topic for nearly a month, which is the first thing you see. Giant message all caps saying 'STEAK N SHAKE MEETUP'

[–]BevatronArt Museum/NoLibs 2 points3 points ago

I agree with you that the IRC has been dividing the group, however, nobody has any OBLIGATION to invite anyone, from any sector. There are IRC-ers who aren't coming on reddit any more. If they miss a meetup because they didn't check the board, too bad for them. It works both ways.

[–]idontrideabike 1 point2 points ago

I definitely disagree that this is "split[ing] the part." The IRC group will continue to get together as they do know, as they all seem to be friends already. Why would a new subreddit that focuses on openness and inclusiveness be a bad thing? I'm sure the IRC group would be invited too; after all, the meetups will be posted in a place where everyone can see them, rather than a chat room of friends that relatively few people visit.

[–]BevatronArt Museum/NoLibs 7 points8 points ago

But why can't the openness and inclusiveness just occur on the main r/philly? That's what i don't understand.

[–]idontrideabike 5 points6 points ago*

Really not sure! From reading the subreddit, though, I do know that when someone asks about what's going on, he's told to go to an IRC channel. If I had the time, I'd find links that demonstrate this, but I think you'd agree that this happens very, very often.

It would be great if there was a way for people who don't use IRC, don't use Facebook, don't use Twitter, don't use Google Groups, don't use Google Calendar, etc., to know about things.

Why not, you know, use reddit?

And if the IRC group doesn't want to do things that way, fine. So be it. But why post in this thread to dissuade others from doing it? The enthusiasm and interest that this post has garnered suggests that a lot of people aren't really satisfied with the way it's happening now. It's insulting to suggest, as you did in a post below, that one needs to have attended a meetup in order to be dissatisfied. Maybe there's a reason these people haven't attended.

Edit: Another fan favorite is "PM the mods." I can only speak for myself, but when reading this subreddit, I definitely perceive a sense of hierarchy that maybe, just maybe, makes others feel excluded.

[–]BevatronArt Museum/NoLibs 4 points5 points ago

I do know that when someone asks about what's going on, he's told to go to an IRC channel

Herein lies the problem. You're right. When people post "what's going on tonight" yeah, they get directed to the IRC. Because what they should be doing is ACTUALLY MAKING PLANS.

I don't know what everyone thinks they're missing, but it's not like we do super awesome things EVERY NIGHT. We have two major weekly bar meetups.... that's it. Everything else is more or less impromptu. So, if you want to go for pizza on a Monday night, make a post that says, "come join me for pizza at this location at this time!".

Everyone wants meetups but few are willing to organize. If you're not willing to organize, I feel you give up some right to complain.

Edit in response to your edit: I have never seen someone say "PM the mods" in response to "whats going on tonight?". As far as a hierarchy, some of us are actually friends. I don't know what else to say. We don't try to be cliquey, we just genuinely like each other.

[–]JoeCoTCherry Hill NJ 1 point2 points ago

I don't think it is insulting. We've planned quite a few meetups, and posted them to /r/philadelphia, and the same usual crew has attended. Tons of posts from new people, lots of upvotes ... and they don't show.

Similarly, people suggest a new location to post meetups, and there's a huge clamor! And in a week I predict it'll be flat on its face. Because the people clamoring are the people that 1) won't organize a meetup, 2) won't actually show up to one. And so it goes.

[–]idontrideabike 0 points1 point ago

So what? If you don't like it, just don't visit the new subreddit. What's the harm in other people having a more satisfying experience?

[–]JoeCoTCherry Hill NJ 1 point2 points ago

My issue with it is this:

  • new person starts looking for /r/philadelphia stuff
  • They go "oh, phillysocialclub! I want to do meetups, let me join that"
  • Phillysocialclub either a) doesn't plan meetups, b) plans meetups that no one attends (because it's entirely composed of people that were too lazy to attend all the other meetups that /r/philadelphia plans)
  • New person goes "well fuck this, I'll just forget about /r/philadelphia then"

I don't really care if you guys take your ball and go elsewhere, because you weren't contributing to meetups in any meaningful way anyway. I just don't want new people to be lured into a dead end and lose interest.

[–]InfinitelyThirsting 4 points5 points ago

Why would a new subreddit that focuses on openness and inclusiveness be a bad thing?

You say that like we're not. We regularly welcome and bring in new people--and by regularly, I mean every week or so we have one or two wandering in. We're always telling more people to come into the IRC. We just also tend to glomp onto them as friends in real life. We're not a group of people who already knew each other. I can think of a bunch of people who've been part of the group for less than three months, but are buddybuddy.

[–]JimiofEden 4 points5 points ago

Very much so this. I just wandered into the IRC after attending a random meetup, and now everyone's my bff whether they want to be or not.

[–]InfinitelyThirsting 2 points3 points ago

<3 forever.

[–]BevatronArt Museum/NoLibs 2 points3 points ago

It's true. He makes me be his BFF. I don't even want to, but I just can't fight it.

[–]weekendofsound[S] 0 points1 point ago

I get what you're saying, but if you subscribe to both, it's not going to change a lot. All philadelphia news can be on r/philadelphia, and if I, as a loser, would like someone to grab a slice with, it's not going to interfere with pictures of philadelphian cats.

[–]BevatronArt Museum/NoLibs 6 points7 points ago

R/philly is not so bogged down that you couldn't just post it there. I don't understand why we need ANOTHER subreddit.

[–]BevatronArt Museum/NoLibs 19 points20 points ago

Hi Guys. Okay. I am not trying to sound like a jerk, I hope you can withhold judgement and just hear me out. As someone who has been involved in planning stuff, especially recently, I have some things to say about this.

We already have about 50 million places to post meetup information. There's r/philly, the top bar, a twitter account, a facebook group, a phone hotline, the IRC, a google calendar, a few google groups, the meetup doc, etc. I feel like I'm missing a few, even.

I don't think we need ANOTHER place to be posting meetup information. R/Philly is not so busy that meetup posts are being missed. Plus, this is exactly what listings in the top bar are.

What we DO need: For people to actually read and pay attention to the side bar. How many of you have actually looked at the planning document? How many of you have ever posted something to the top bar? How many of you have come up with an idea for a meetup and made a post in r/philly, even? Forget the IRC, no one is using the stuff available to us right here on r/philly.

I think some of you agreeing with the creation of a new subreddit haven't even actually been to a meetup yet. Please talk to some of the people who are working on organizing the group before saying that our system is broken. I think it would be more constructive to critique the systems already in place than to just make more and more and more other things.

[–]weekendofsound[S] 6 points7 points ago

I honestly didn't mean to offend anyone with the suggestion, and I was just proposing this because having seen how it works for /r/boston, it seems a lot simpler to go post something on reddit to invite people to something impromptu and insignificant, and it would also contain any longer term planning.

Why couldn't it just be posted on /r/Philadelphia main? I could also say the same thing about the facebook, the IRC, the twitter, and Google Calendars. It certainly could, but I think it's like advertising to a broader audience than necessary. If someone never wants to go to meetups, their frontpage is going to have a bunch of insignificant shit, and people who are looking for something to do will have to wade through more stuff as well.

It sounds a lot like the IRC has become really exclusive, which a reddit based social club would not be, and it allows for a lot faster reactions than anything on a different site like facebook, twitter, or google calendar. It's great that all of these are available, but it sounds like there are problems using these as well- I don't think people are checking them all the time, they aren't getting updates about it.

Again, I really don't mean to disrespect you in any way, because you have been awesome to me, it was just a suggestion based on a format I have seen work. It consolidates the brand, and I think works out some problems that are being addressed here.

[–]idontrideabike 7 points8 points ago

Try as they might, please don't let the r/philadelphia power-user hive mind dissuade you. There are others who feel exactly the same way.

[–]weekendofsound[S] 0 points1 point ago*

Regardless of whatever they have to say, me posting this is changing the way the subreddit is conducting their meetups, which sounds to be a problematic system. Try as they might, I still caused the subreddit to change for the better (due to the work of Bevatron and possibly Simon_the_cannibal.) If those of us that don't hate it can use it efficiently, whatever everyone else is saying is neither here nor there.

[–]BevatronArt Museum/NoLibs 0 points1 point ago

I only want to reply to this because you used my name and I want to be clear. We were aware before today of the issues with meetups and have been actively trying to correct the problem for a while. The issue came to a head today, but by no means was it news.

[–]weekendofsound[S] 0 points1 point ago

I'm not trying to take credit from you, I'm trying to give it to you. Obviously, you work tremendously hard. I'm just some asshole.

[–]comofueJuniata Park 2 points3 points ago

Bevatron makes some great points in all her posts, we have plenty of tools already we dont need a new subreddit

also why are people so afraid of the irc channel?

[–]ell0boEast Falls 3 points4 points ago

I'm not going to pull an IRC chat client up at work and my phone isn't going to work with it, so is there a better way?

[–]comofueJuniata Park 1 point2 points ago

nah you have an excuse but it seems some people here have been put off by the people in the irc channel which I found surprising

the thing with meetups organized in the irc channel is that they're usually last minute setups where someone says they want to get a drink/eat and someone else says they'll meet them and anyone who comes in after that and ask where people are meeting will be directed to that bar/restaurant

[–]ell0boEast Falls 1 point2 points ago

I know, and I'm upset that I always miss out. If I saw them on here more often, and maybe I'm blind but I almost never do, I'd prolly meet up more than not. My free time is spotty, and I always have things planned for weekends, so I haven't gotten out to meet up with anyone from here.

If people from IRC would just post on here "hey, we're going here today, come if you want" I think it would alleviate a lot of issues. However, I understand the spontaneity of what happens there and don't blame them for not.

[–]comofueJuniata Park 0 points1 point ago

yeah its true once a few redditors decide to meetup a post should be made welcoming other people there

on that I can agree with you

[–]therealprotonk 1 point2 points ago

nah you have an excuse but it seems some people here have been put off by the people in the irc channel which I found surprising

Not a philly resident, but IRC puts off a lot of even technically inclined people. That's different than being put off by the people in IRC, of course. But both could contribute to nobody wanting to check IRC.

[–]diligentdogsKensington 1 point2 points ago

some people here have been put off by the people in the irc channel which I found surprising

fwtfiw, I pay less and less attention to what goes on in there, mostly because I've seen more than one new person pestered to the point of immediate exit when they dip in there. Not into that exclusionary shit at all. That shit sucks.

We should have a better system for organizing shit, no doubt. Maybe a Google Calendar, open to all edits, that'll also post in the top bar on update, in addition to posting some twitter shit, notice'ing that shit in IRC....and calling 911.

[–]BevatronArt Museum/NoLibs 1 point2 points ago

ell0bo, i actually agree wiht you about the IRC. I can't go on it at work either. I'm not sure what the best solution is at this point though.

[–]ell0boEast Falls 0 points1 point ago

I think we need to not push for people to make plans on IRC when they post here "what are you doing". Instead you can say, "we're discussing this on IRC, but it looks like we're going to X". I totally understand wanting to have a live running convo to set up last minute plans, but you're then just missing out on people.

In the long run, shit happens :-)

[–]JoeCoTCherry Hill NJ -1 points0 points ago

I don't really understand why. The web client is just a webpage with javascript ...

[–]ell0boEast Falls 7 points8 points ago

I understand that, and I could pull it up on Pidgin like I have at home, as that's why I'm almost always in the channel, but I'm not going to have IRC scrolling in the background while I'm at work.

The problem is that there's now a disconnect, yes it's simple, but I can't just count on Reddit to be the means of communication with the group. I've posted on here before asking if people wanted to meet up in the next few hours, and I was directed to IRC. Problem was, I was at work, and I'm not going to boot up IRC while at work. Sorry, I don't consider that professional, unless you're on a javascript / web dev channel. I shouldn't have to change my app to contact the social aspect of a group that comes from Reddit.

[–]BevatronArt Museum/NoLibs 3 points4 points ago

Joe, some of us do have jobs where we cannot use IRC. I do, I'm just currently retired. But seriously, you can't expect people to ONLY check the IRC for meetup related info. It really should be posted in r/philly.

[–]TreeLoveDiscGolf -5 points-4 points ago

fuck everything about this comment. you don't run shit... or maybe you do, i have no fucking clue? but i have never checked any of the places you mentioned and honestly all the meetups that i've seen posted on the r/philly page did not sound interesting to me at all. i don't want to hang out with 50 nerds i don't know at a random location that doesn't interest me at all. but i wouldn't mind spontaneous smaller meetups with people that may have similar interests to my own. i personally think OP should definitely go ahead and do what he wants. who the fuck are you to tell him it's a bad idea?

[–]JimiofEden 6 points7 points ago

[–]InfinitelyThirsting 0 points1 point ago

There's your problem. Read the damned sidebar.

[–]TreeLoveDiscGolf -5 points-4 points ago

no, there is not my problem... i don't check that shit because i don't feel the need to do so. i'm not trying to hop on irc, twitter, facebook, google, etc.

i also don't want to hang out with all of you. OP's idea would make it easier for people to have impromptu "meetups" with smaller groups of people. i shouldn't have to veer away from reddit if organizing something with reddit people, and i don't think it'd be a good idea to have all those last minute plan posts flooding this page... basically there's a reason i haven't gone to any of the meetups and it's definitely NOT because i didn't read the sidebar...

[–]SeferYetzirah 4 points5 points ago

r/philadelphia already has a meetup system, and is also active on irc.

[–]JimiofEden 2 points3 points ago

Soooo... This is just tool #239487239487 to find out about meetups?

Why not just hop into the IRC. We're friendly people, as long as you're not a d-bag. Or use one of the other thousands of tools?

But as long as people are actually getting up and organizing things. I can't complain too hard. I'd just rather they worked a little harder and used the tools that exist rather than make a new one and hope for the best.

[–]JimiofEden 3 points4 points ago

Also, call me old fashioned, but if I miss a meetup, I just pay attention more and make sure I can catch the next one. =P

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Los Angeles resident here - we do this with /r/CityOfLA and the IRC channel, as opposed to using the main /r/losangeles subreddit.

It does work. Besides, it keeps all the relevant information ON reddit, (because like hell if I'm going to bother with Meetup.com)

[–]weekendofsound[S] 0 points1 point ago

thanks for the input! Are you a former philadelphia resident, or has the drama gone coast to coast?

[–]kkptjr 1 point2 points ago

R/Edmonton has an r/edmontonsocialclub and it seems to be working well. Your drama has gone global (posted to r/subredditdrama) but I am pretty sure that this issue (meetups, and everything that goes with them) is one of the natural growing pains of a city subreddit.

[–]cachinnateSociety Hill/Temple 2 points3 points ago

I already belong to a Philadelphia Social Club. It's called #reddit-philadelphia.

[–]idontrideabike 1 point2 points ago

The difference is that this one would for people on Reddit.

[–]JoeCoTCherry Hill NJ 0 points1 point ago

The IRC channel is also for people on reddit, so this must be a new definition of "difference" I was previously unaware of.

[–]idontrideabike 4 points5 points ago

Forgot a "be" up there.

As Bevatron noted (http://www.reddit.com/r/philadelphia/comments/pecnu/i_submit_for_your_approval_rphiladelphiasocialclub/c3otu4d), there are people on IRC that don't even use the subreddit.

This new system would be great for people who use the subreddit, even if they don't use the IRC. I think it's clear from the back-and-forth here that a lot of people would get more from r/philadelphia if it was contained in r/philadelphia, rather than spread out into a chat room, a facebook, a twitter, a google group, a google calendar, etc.

[–]JoeCoTCherry Hill NJ 2 points3 points ago

... then post meetups to /r/philadelphia . I don't see how adding more subreddits helps matters.

[–]blackmagickchick 1 point2 points ago

But not everyone has the constant access to the IRC channel. Maybe if you guys took the moment to at least post about a meet-up discussed on the channel, it would benefit everyone.

[–]FiletOfBaby 6 points7 points ago

Done deal. People seem afraid to enter the IRC so this could be a good thing.

[–]idontrideabike 7 points8 points ago

I don't know if it's fear, necessarily. But for all the pride/bluster that asserts r/philadelphia as one of the best community subreddits, I've always thought it weird that most everyone who discusses a non-scheduled meetup is directed away from reddit and into a chatroom.

[–]ell0boEast Falls 4 points5 points ago

it's more the fact that I don't want to have IRC on my computer at work (cell phone also couldn't handle it). So by the time I get home at 7 I'd need to scroll all the way up on the IRC chat to see what is going on. Something static like Reddit lets you see what the plan is pretty damn quick.

I'm game. Plans often get made on IRC, but I'm never really on there to notice.

[–]metameme 2 points3 points ago

I will definitely participate in this, maybe even at the administrative level ie planning and hosting events. Please message me if you'd like!

Hi, so.... have you read the side bar? Do you see the other organizational tools we already have? Would you be willing to help within the structure that is already set up?

I like the idea, I've been here for a few years and this would be great for doing something different on a Friday night :D

[–]BevatronArt Museum/NoLibs 0 points1 point ago

Please take a look at the organizational structure we already have going, on the sidebar.

a few requests: can you make the title "The r/ Philadelphia Social Club",

and in the description, at least for /r/BostonSocialClub, they have listed alternative resources, such as: Meetup, and The Weekend Map

I tried r/ Philadelphia Social Club and reddit said no. it's not already a subreddit, so it might be too long. I'll take a look at the Boston subreddit and steal some ideas

For some reason it wouldn't let me register /r/philladelphiasocialclub. I went ahead and made /r/phillymeetups instead.

[–]JimiofEden 0 points1 point ago

I didn't know you were a redditor. How come I never see you out anywhere?

[–]danstuUniversity City 4 points5 points ago

I always miss the topics about them, and never really go on IRC, which is why I wanted to support this idea.
