    BBB - Big Brother xatBar. Brazilian 1st edition

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Matheus

    Five months ago, I was given a task by @Cupim, to make Bar an active chat for portuguese speakers. Since then, with the help of many people around me, we've turned xat Bar into a popular chat between the brazilian users. During this time, we had many ideas of how we could get more people to the chat. 

     

    Back in July, we started an open poll to decide who would be the new Main Owner, of course, my intention was to bring more people to the chat. And it worked, we had almost 300 votes (only registered users could vote), and probably some of you were invited to vote back then. A week ago, we did another big poll, we were supposed to vote for xat's user personality, and the winner would get 5.000 xats. We got more than 400 votes (once again, only registered users).

     

    This time, we've planned something different and longer. It's the first virtual-reality-show to happen on xat.

     

    You may have heard about Big Brother, wherever you live, it's a very popular reality-show. In Brazil, it's not different. So, we've decided to produce a xat version of the show. We will choose 16 competitors, between the dozens that applied for it, and for a whole month, we will get challenges almost everyday, where the winners of each challenge will get prizes (xats or powers) and benefits on the game, such as voting people to the wall or making them immune to the wall.

     

    The wall is how we name the elimination zone, those contestants in the elimination zone will be submitted to the open vote, where the most voted will leave the dispute. We will do this until we get only 3 contestants left, then the last poll will be 'who would you like to win the game?'. the most voted participant gets power purple.

     

    We were one of the first unofficial chats to make HTML5 (even though back then, I was not a big fan of the idea) our default chat, which made our users adapt to it and discover it's new features and bugs. The point of this story is to show how in 2020 we still can make chats active again and have fun on it. I can say that new xat made huge improvements and added cool features (they made me change my opinion about it), dont give up on it.

     

    Even though it's for portuguese speakers, you all will always be welcome to Bar ;)

    CYAN PAWN

    in New Power Testing

    It sure defeats the purpose of the cyan pawn, which was made for celebs only, as most of you said.

     

    There's something in this topic that annoyed me: a few contributors said admin didn't want users to give their inputs about it.

     

    I'll remind you of something: there's no sucessful company that doesn't listen to their customers.

    Social doesn't meet Official standards

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Social is only alive BECAUSE of @Mike We should think twice before demanding a new main owner. Volunteers should think twice before complaning about his management, they couldn't do anything better.

    The chat was totally dead and Mike made it popular again, brought people that never would come before, he actually thought out of the box.

    Demanding strict rules or ''Official standards'' is just more of the same that made xat become a dying site. People are just tired about these, if you didn't notice that, get out of your echo chamber.

    Mike and Glitch may have done mistakes during this time, I know it, but they were sucessful in their mission to make Social an active chat again (as I've never seen before).

    I am actually utterly shocked that this is a valid thread, to me it is just a way to induce drama about personal feelings towards a chat. And I am even more shocked that volunteers are participating in assisting the drama.

    Obviously this thread was made because the majority of the mainstream don't like either Mike or Glitch. Which makes me sad.

    Trade mains ?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    OP brought a really valid question, but there are some counter arguments: Trade chat is way larger than Troca and Cambio, therefore, there would be way more spammers, scammers and trolls if it was made for registered users only, and yeah it would be more chaotic...

    Fundamentally, Trade chat should be open for registered users, but there are consequences. So I question you, is that really worth the risk if you could just pc a mod or try Troca/Cambio if that? From my perspective, It's not.
