Thank you ElMaligno.
80% of my words survived in the OP.

How busy is the slack chat?
Effort is why I haven't switched to slack so far.

Hey ElMaligno.

In the hangout chat someone asked "What is slack and why not just go back to #gip?"

Here's the answer I came up with(complete with skipped words & mispellings damnit).
---------

Slack is a slightly different social media messaging app than google hangouts.

Slack is more customizable & has admins/mods for each group of people in it.
The big thing for is that you can edit ALL your posts & the support system is a interactive IRCbot.

Downside: username is a one-time thing.

Why not go back to gip? Good question, hard to answer.
Offsite chats like this & slack are semi-private, without 2000+ other people(somethingawful members who paid $10)
having full access to meltdowns, opinions & altered state posts.




You might want to add both the question & the answer to your OP

Plus the whole mobile app aspect assuming you're talking about IRC

Oh yeah... #gip is an IRC thing. I always forget about IRC aka reddit 0.25.
Change my answer to "Offsite chats like this & slack are semi-private, without 403,696,969+ possible people (random rear end guess for total IRC users worldwide)
having full access to meltdowns, opinions & altered state posts
.

ElMaligno, add this too?

Finally caught up the thread.

So....McNally is a depression angel of death?
Maybe he could a start a service to stay away from happy people or ELSE.


Florida is a state of mind to some, a humid hell on earth to others, and a place to live for roughly 21 million people + 10 Billion mosquitoes.

Call me optimistic, but maybe he's drinking more water like you're supposed to in the desert?
