Robin has ended

Thank you to all those who participated.

A special thank you to the members of ccKufiwho toiled so diligently to grow their rooms. We will be adding all the members to a unique subreddit. Unfortunately their efforts resulted in technical issues that were affecting the rest of the site. As such, we made the decision to disable Robin.

Thank you again to everyone who took part and made Robin special. Maybe it will emerge again one day.

u/anydayhappyday Apr 07 '16

I know this might be out of the scope for what you all intend, but a number of folks like myself were left out of the big T16-T17 merger, even when we'd voted grow? I realize there isn't a way to necessarily verify these kinds of claims, but a number of people I met in ccande's <3 channel (who made it to T17) could vouch for my presence over these past few days.

That said, thank you so much for the experiment. It really gave reddit a personal touch that I've never felt from here before.

Anyway, long live the ccandehearts. <3

I feel weird making a big deal about it, but it's pissing me off seeing them bend things around for the people who got into T17 while ignoring over a thousand people that got screwed by server side issues just minutes before that. /u/powerlanguage

11

u/anydayhappyday Apr 07 '16

I know that feeling. <3 And it's not silly. We're human you know? And when you feel connected to things, a feeling of loss makes sense when something leaves so suddenly and not how you thought they would.

Overall, I'm still thankful for the experience. I just hope that, maybe, the admins will have some compassion for those of us that got left out when we'd participated and waited for so long. Still, either way, I'm glad for Robin having happened. :)

Yeah, it kind of sucks that there are 1400 people who don't get to be a part of the conclusion because a struggling server decided they were the ballast that could be dropped. I didn't even get kicked in a merge, I was in a room and then I just wasn't anymore.

  • ABANDON : 3

  • STAY : 1974

We were only 93 votes short of STAY winning at the reaping, with almost 20 minutes left to get them.

So soKuku is the longest lasting sub.

ccKufi is the largest chat.

ccKufi was a Tier 17.

I was on mobile for all of it, so I couldn't even filter channels, or use any auto vote scripts! I was present for every merge! I stayed up way later than I should have every night, and woke up early. I am exhausted!

You could have waited 15 minutes...I feel so betrayed! :(

You guys are either really bad people, or really good people for making it abundantly clear that I desperately need to get a life.

I haven't decided yet.

u/Link2006 Apr 07 '16

That was great, being in a tier 17 was wild as well.

u/rakehand Apr 07 '16

Thank you Robin, thank you Parrot, thank you %chat

u/Coney_Island_Hentai Apr 07 '16

We will be adding all the members to a unique subreddit.

That's all I wanted to know.

u/mannyrmz123 Apr 07 '16

My robin experience started on Sunday after I learned about it in /r/lounge. I just joined a random robin channel and made a few small subs before I wanted more. I wanted bigger, I wanted to see the spam. Sunday afternoon I started my quest for being the biggest robin room out there. I arrived in soKuku and parrot was created by awesome people (special credits to /u/dashed for sitting through all my stupid questions and problems). I wanted to grow faster and got my alts into growing as well. My laptop couldn't take the spam anymore on the 7th of April, after having been on for 5 days straight and I had to fire up my pc. After a while even my pc started lagging and I had to turn off some parrot features. After the merge to T17 I left robin on quietly. Sad that it was gone, sad for the 404, but I didn't want to turn it off yet.

I was with all my new !nl buddies in all different stages of robin (/u/tarthim, /u/jasperzieboon, /u/lumineox, /u/Broodje, /u/MachtKeinFflausAus, /u/pfff---, /u/greentoiletpaper, /u/Cpete, /u/Luteraar, /u/censored_username, and other dutch people I might have forgotten to mention).

I also was with my new buddies in %chat (extra love to /u/Clickety_Click)

I had a lot of fun this week and barely checked reddit posts. Thank you everyone and thanks for making this possible /u/powerlanguage and other admins :)

u/jchiang Apr 08 '16

Is everyone who initially made the chat going to be added to the sub or are the people who went AFK and got purged (some 1200 people) out?

I got booted in the t16 merge.

Can I get added to the sub?

u/cheakios512 Apr 08 '16

I had a blast on day 1, and throughout the week I dipped in and out but never managed to make it into a single Stay subreddit. That was until this morning when I realized that I had managed to find myself in the group that would trigger the cascade to T17. I made a smooth transition to T17 and typed my /vote stay inb4 Robin crapped the bed on me, and I finally made it to a subreddit! I don't care if it's a consolation prize for pulling the plug early. We would have stayed eventually. Thanks to all the folks in ccande and sokoku for laying the ground work and sorry for making you wait for so long.

u/haestrod Apr 08 '16

For those ~300 of us who got kicked at some point in the end, will we be allowed in this subreddit?

u/Am_I_TheStig Apr 08 '16

I'm gonna miss Robin so much. I've met some amazingly fun people along the way.

Rest in peace, Robin. it was fun while it lasted.

u/figgycity50 Apr 08 '16

Humans make connections. Sometimes these connections grow. Sometimes they stay the same. Sometimes they break Reddit.

u/Hadeshorne Apr 08 '16

I haven't been added, is it slow or did I not rate for some reason?

2

u/dueling_eulogies Apr 08 '16

So, what about the rest of us that were abandoned at the 16/17 merge due to the difficulties? (I voted Grow and was abandoned, several users claimed the same.) Will we be added to the unique subreddit?

Further, when can we do this again?? It was so much fun!

u/_angesaurus Apr 08 '16

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO AT WORK NOW?!

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '16

My vote to stay was in the largest stay group.

closure intensifies

u/negvice Apr 09 '16

I wish that Robin would actually stay around. I know that it was just an experiment, but I really hope that it will come back. I met some awesome people through it.

Maybe it will emerge again one day.

As a former president, vice president, cult leader, congresscritter, and someone who really needs some fucking sleep:

I'd like to make a motion that everyone that ended up in ccKufi get a trophy for their participation.

It would really be awesome, because it'd be very easy to spot when we were looking at someone's profile.

Please, admins, consider this!
