I've always had this prejudice against messengers like Pidgin because I'd find people on them can have a lesser experience than being on the actual messenger it is linking. Some focus on simply supporting of chat, and you must find a slow to update plugin for the other main features of the messenger not provided. With WLM for example, I can not photoshare with some Pidgin users, forcing the roundabout route of uploading it to a site and linking them despite the built-in feature of the first-party messenger. Basically, I don't like having to sacrifice various provided conveniences for the single convenience of putting it in one messenger.

I bring this up to ask that could there be more than just a Pidgin plugin? Maybe just a section of RTB's site where you can talk utilizing your account. I apologize if my statements are at all troublesome, I know it's extremely petty to fret over the points I listed, and it does not need to be taken if you don't believe it's valid.

Edit: I took a while to type this. I basically asked the same thing as Zack did in his second paragraph, but with my statement in a less intelligent fashion.
I actually use pidgin (and now trillian) to disable the extra features various chat clients include. I don't like custom smilies, whiteboards, desktop connection, text effects, direct sending of files, etc. I automatically turn down all image and file requests and expect people to just stick their files up on tinypic or pastebin if it's important.

I can't very well instantly show my girlfriend my awesome suit over Pidgin, ya whippersnapper! :panda:

RTB4 doesn't yet have a dedicated auto-updater so guess who's going to be manually updating 30 games anyway? Yep, you.
Somehow I get the idea this was part of the plan all along - leave out the auto-updater just to screw with Kalphiter.

Lol. Make that 29. I just did it manually.

I keep getting timed out for some reason.

Since this is a RTB thread, why did "Lub" appear on RTB 4?

Lub is an actual player. He's a cunt and also the love of Ephi's life.

So he has Blockland online 24/7?



How come whenever I try to reach someone over IRC it says that they "Cannot be reached"?

They've disabled messaging from non-friends maybe?


And Ephi, looks like something's wrong with your download system (or somebody's spamming it): http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=177697.0

Thanks I will investigate. At some point I will fix download statistics for real.

The error messages are purposefully ambiguous so it's not obvious to you as to whether you've been blocked or not.

With RTB my server list doesnt load, i'm sure it is RTB's fault because when I remove RTB the server list loads fine and my key authenticates right away but if I bring RTB back, nope.

That happens to me a lot too.
