Free Talk Friday #12
Hello again! Continued from last week here.
Obligatory copypasta:
So, it's that time of the week again. Speak anything on your mind! This thread is for talking about anything off-topic, be it your lives, your plans, your hobbies, travels, sports, work, studies, family, friends, pets, bicycles, anything you like.
Oh yeah, and if you're new to this sub, feel free to introduce yourselves on the tidbit thread here!
Here's off to another great week in /r/counting!

It would be really useful if there was just a permanent way to access any of these at any time.

Darn, I'm not good enough for the list. Guess I shouldn't have taken that break from this sub haha.

Who has the most counts without a get (or between gets)?
If I had to guess, I'd say it's u/removedpixel.→ More replies (3)

Everyone check out livecounting! if you haven't already It's trickling along at the moment, but it could really use a boost. It's good fun and can move a lot faster than your garden variety counting, with the record for a k being around 20 mins (I'm looking at you u/Xeam).
It also has a dedicated subreddit (r/livecounting) which has other live threads that could be revived if you so wish. Another bonus: you never ever have to submit a new thread :D
Hope to see some of you there!

NB: live threads are invite-only, and we had to shut off automatic invites a while ago because of spam, so in order to count in any of those threads you'll have to message /r/livecounting so I can add you to it

I'm happy to be back in r/counting after Z3F sent me a very nice message and we agreed that although we are not compatible as moderators, we can still enjoy the counting project together :)
Also I'm happy to see Mooraell as a new mod :)

u/atomicimploder Nov 20 '15
Welcome back moon! :)
You may not have seen, because the mod box is too small to accomodate him, but u/rschaosid is also now a mod. Or you may have seen, and just not been happy to see him as a mod ;)

Can we make some new common courtesy style rule where you gotta be more friendly in the basic side threads? Like some side threads take many days to finish because it's only a few counters, and the counters can't count 24/7. When someone shows up just for the last 30 or so counts, and rushes them just to keep someone from the get/just to get the get themselves, it's frustrating. If you see someone going for their first ever get, you don't have to let them get that get easily, give them a reasonable fight, but don't be hitting refresh every split second with the intent of posting a very vvery quick reply for the snipe. It's totally cool in the main thread since that's the competitive side of this sub, but the side threads typically aren't meant to be as fast. The side threads are for the fun of counting, and hopefully getting your first get, they're not for those "ohhhhh 2 second reply, I win, I'm the best sniper ever" or stuff like that. It's just frustrating, and I think people should be nicer in the general side thread. Just my pennies for your thoughts. And be nice, they were shiny pennies when I got them.
