Re: THE BREE CHAT DISASTER [11.28.2006]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last night was a complete and total mess and I don't know if I'm more upset with the "fans" who are kissing serious "creator" ass, or the creators for messing that up so royally.

The 350,000 hit is totally bogus. I myself refreshed like 30 times looking for the "chat" link.

I was there a half hour early in the Main room. The admins said that Bree would be entering the main room so us 100 peeps were lucky. There were a bunch of total and complete idiots in the chat. People saying ssshhh, admins telling people to SHUT UP. Others saying IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT LEAVE and just plain rudeness. Then at 9:20 pm or so, we start hearing that all the characters were in Bree's House 3. You couldn't join, but the number started rising. One Admin started broadcasting the chat and then that disappeared. One member said that they got into Room 3 by exiting the chat and then re-entering. I tried it and it worked. I couldn't read the screen because it was scrolling so fast it would jump like 30 lines at a time. It was utter chaos.

The JDSmith dude who was supposed to be the one responsible for the chat kept apologizing for not having it ready in time. The admins TOTALLY ABANDONED SHIP and all ran to the Room 3 and didn't update anyone of the other 200 or so people stuck in other rooms about what was going on.

I will NOT forgive the Creators for this major screw up. They could have tested the chat well before suggesitng this. Heck IRC would have been WAY better than the mess that was last night. I wasted an hour of my time, finding out nothing, having no interaction as promised. I noticed NikkiBowerReport leaving the Main Room that we were being "promised" the characters would appear in, well before the announcment was made that they were in Room 3. Someone tipped her off. I also noted Gemma saying that she wanted to come to the US - haven't seen that mentioned yet on here.

What a major screwup and waste of time.

The clearest thing of all - the entire chat was predictable from the beginning to the end. Yousef's "I'm fired" blog, and then what a week later Jonas coming on board. Bree saying in chat that Daniel wants to go home and thought the chat was stupid. Well ..... pretty boy Jonas is NO DANIEL. It's clear Daniel is being written as a small part, not the MAJOR LEAD he was assigned. Jonas has almost as many videos as Daniel has ever gotten alone.

And MANY OTHER creators and directors have had live chats before. Stop patting yourself on the back about the "new" form of media entertainment. Hell, Kevin Smith has been doing this for 10 years. LG fans, get a grip, this ship is sinking.

OMGosh Yousef's "I'm fired" junk has been cleared up SEVERAL times over.

A lot of times, the admins COULD NOT relay as they would have liked because people would not shut up.

Once again, someone beat me to the punch. *tips hat to omegawoman* Good show.

Omega: did you make sure to check the "Use my userplane ID" box? That's the only reason I can think of for that.

First off.. I would like to say that I too experienced the "guest" problem. I am registered, but it still kept showing me as a guest. A little glitch I guess, no big deal to me, but hopefully it will be fixed in the future (just in case they decide to make it guest free chat?!)

So I too was frustrated at first with the chat. My computer took what seemed like centuries to even load the lg15 homepage. (Server overload, goodness there are a lot of us!! )

When it finally did, I logged in and searched for a link to the chat.. because I was told it would NOT be held on the userplane. ( I now understand this is because they couldnt get the new chat up and running on time- which is understandable, yet frustrating to those who didnt know)

Then when I finally got in I was shocked by the massive amount of rude and off topic comments. The screen was rolling so fast, most of the important posts were lost within "Jonas is hot" "Whos Jonas?" "Bree have sex with Daniel" "Poop" "Whos Cassie" Etc....

I only managed to post 1 or 2 comments, that were too lost in translation.

I was also disappointed in the fact that nothing was really solved or revealed.. but in all fairness, I think the point was to get us to help her come to a conclusion, and we will find out in the next vid.

All in all, even with the frustration and disappointment, I would like to thank the creators for the opportunity to get involved. I was happy to see their post saying that this was one of many chats. Hopefully all the kinks will get worked out in the future chats. This was a first time, lets cut them a little slack.
Again, as others have stated- they are working with basically no money and working their other jobs at the same time. And they are doing this for US! For our entertainment. So thankyou Creators.

Creators --

Please think twice about who you give 'Admin' rights to, especially as it relates to those who interact with the storyline and your followers. A great majority of the Admins actions on chat were insulting and destructive. Your overall production and management also lacked as well.

I joined the userplane chat half a hour before the chat. The admins immediately treated us like a heard of cows and told to "stop chatting here." This was in the room I landed in, "Bree's House 1." They told us to go to OpAphid's room. When we got to the OpApid's room the admins asked us why were talking about Bree since this was OpAphid's room. Later the Admin's had absolutely no clue about what was going on, which is understandable, but were very esoteric and higher-than-thou in their actions. If someone would have told us to be patient and done so in a professional manner, that would have been one thing, what happened was another.

I realize there is no payment involved directly at this point and you haven’t received too much sleep. However, with your backgrounds and education you should realize that there is a lot of debit before things go black. Running things like this don't point to very good production skills. Continuing things like this will stratify your management of the Lonelygirl15 brand and product, this will be damaging long term.

I wish you the best, but please coordinate a plan with some points of failure next time.

Ok, so I know this has been said before, and I already know what most of you are gonna post in reply, but seriously people. How can anyone think that that chat was anything short of pure, unadulterated crap? I hated it, and seriously think that next time, it needs to be planned out better.

I was one of the people that wanted only Admin., Mods., and people with 1000+ posts. Did ANYONE that could make a difference in the chat situation listen? Of course not.

I think next time there should be some kiind of a contest, like a round of lonelygirl15 trivia, and several winners will be chosen. Those people get to pick 1 character that they want to talk to. They will then get to speak to them with (maybe) a few other winners. If not, then the characters will be first come, first serve for these winners.
