June 15, 201511 yr IRC FTW Twitter FTF The day I sign up to social media is the day I resign from the internet Dad.... Is that you? lol Looking forward to v6 coming out so we can start talking about new features again. Theres always goin g to be some last minute bugs just push it and be proactive for 6.1
June 15, 201511 yr Why twitter? Because we have to start somewhere and twitter is probably the easiest platform for the most people. Wouldn't IRC or possibly Reddit be a better (and easiest to track) medium? IRC is ok but really isn't that much different than twitter right? Reddit?? really, reddit? That place is brutal. At least with twitter rants are limited to 140 chars Maybe in the future. Possibly a Jisti or hangout video session too? Not to say that these things need be exclusive to one another, why not do them all!?!?! Sure, eventually. Guys this is an experiment, let's just see how it goes.

On the other hand, post a picture of a cute kitten with your post and you'll probably be ok...
June 15, 201511 yr Twitter etc are the right choice. Its where the majority of the current and userbase live. Its just grumpy old men like me that stay away from these places. Just post a sanitised version somewhere people can read after the fact

Twitter is only "easy" for people who use twitter. I'm not using twitter. As for Reddit, its only brutal in default subs and subs intended to be brutal. I'm not saying its impossible for a brigade to come around but that is what mods are for. [shrug] I say all that but I don't really care either way and won't even be online during release. But you can bet I'll be upgrading later in the evening
June 15, 201511 yr I dont entirely get what purpose a reddit would serve. There is aleeady a great community discussion goin on here at the official unraid forums. Why dilute that by having discussions held elsewhere? With facebook and twitter, I can see having short attention seeking posts that drive users back to the official LT website or discussion forums.

I can see your point, but there's subreddits for emby & kodi, if you search reddit for Unraid it's only really r/datahoarder that's particularly relevant, just a thought about establishing a presence on the major social site. But I can also see Tom's point about Reddit, it can be brutal and the community fickle. Hell, I'm not and IT or business guy so I have no expertise on marketing or anything remotely close, so probably best to ignore me...
June 15, 201511 yr The point i think is retweets and the potential for new customers. Its worth a try for sure. Its going to be USA centric as the time chosen is 11pm this side of the pond on a school night.
June 15, 201511 yr NAS I didn't realise you were from the righteous land Aside from the twitter session, anyone know what time is the release of V6 is going to be? That's what I'm really really keen to get my hands on! I WANT IT NOW!!!

I can see your point, but there's subreddits for emby & kodi, if you search reddit for Unraid it's only really r/datahoarder that's particularly relevant, just a thought about establishing a presence on the major social site. My reasoning for suggesting reddit was to establish a presence on a major site that gets millions of daily readers (just like Twitter). I have participated in numerous AMA and the questions do come thick and fast (like they will on Twitter) but personally I find it much easier to follow the conversation thread on Reddit than Twitter. One example is the #askcrofty Q&A session that Sky Sports F1 hold after each race. My twitter feed fills up with about 2-300 posts for an hour and then goes dead. Most of the posts get lost in the general noise of Twitter and it's sometimes hard to see which question relates to which answer. That's all. I hadn't considered the effect of duplicating the conversation on these forums and reddit purely because, again in my opinion, they service entirely different populations (as I suppose does Twitter). It's great that LT are paying this much attention to the community at all, there are many dev houses that don't. Twitter is undoubtedly a great platform if anyone is listening at that moment in history, just personally don't think it's the best choice for this particular use. Now, is it 11pm yet?
June 15, 201511 yr twitter is good for social marketing and again some new users. Lime-tech should deffo focus on reddit as well (reddit.com/r/unraid) to promote unRaid. 16,801 subscribers = XBMC http://www.reddit.com/r/xbmc 23,860 subscribers = XBMC http://www.reddit.com/r/plex 13,039 subscribers = Roku http://www.reddit.com/r/roku I would recommend Lime-tech to hire SEO guy in Philippine, they will SEO and social marketing on Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, etc.

June 16, 201511 yr Pretty cool idea to do a twitter chat. I know question time is over but are there plans to upgrade the forum software at some point? I've used Discourse for some other projects and its been pretty good. Looking forward to 6.0 final.
