It's always late night somewhere.

Just not here.

What are you up to?

    I did this tonight.

    I'm not sorry.

    • misbegottenDec 20, 2016 at 9:00 PM

      LOL! Really! The cat wants to know why I'm laughing.

      • UmegakiDec 20, 2016 at 9:03 PM

        Mine do the same thing whenever I randomly burst out laughing at things! I think it's a cat thing. :D

    • TheOtherSideOfThePillowDec 20, 2016 at 9:26 PM

      Hahahahaha

    • LizzieDec 21, 2016 at 12:12 AM

      That is so much goodness.

  • misbegottenDec 20, 2016 at 8:01 PM

    Musing over what I like about Imzy versus what I like about blogging.

    Also, watching kitties sleep. Very soporific.

    • LizzieDec 20, 2016 at 8:06 PM

      I am planning on doing some additional blogging in the new year myself.

      • misbegottenDec 20, 2016 at 8:08 PM

        Different ways of making connections. I've decided that I really like that Imzy doesn't tell you when someone follows or unfollows a community. I don't want that level of detail on this playground.

      • LizzieDec 20, 2016 at 8:18 PM

        Agreed. And I actually like not having a quote unquote "friends list"

  • ZiggyReachDec 20, 2016 at 8:53 PM

    Rediscovering Styx's The Grand Illusion album from 1977. Forgot how much I loved it.

    Also thinking that I'm kinda done with imzy. The people are nice enough. It's just a very blah layout with lots of notification issues (yes, I know there's a notification. I clicked on it three times already, etc. etc.) and not a lot of room for new communities. I started a food-related one because there didn't seem to be just a generic "food" community. I've been posting and posting and not one participant in weeks.

    A lot of the news I see here is old by the time it hits the front page. Speaking of which- it's empty. The front page is mostly white on my screen. Seriously, the layout is bonkers. http://i.imgur.com/kYPItIE.jpg No, this isn't 4k, just 1440.

    Everything is slow to load. There is no snappiness whatsoever. Participating becomes a chore. Middle-clicking/right-clicking barely works on pages or links. It discourages activity.

    Again, the people are nice. I just don't find as much value as I thought I would in the communities. Something is "hot news" when 10 people have hearted or commented.

    Sorry for ranting. Bad day. I only got here because of a notification telling me that this thread existed. And yes, the notification is still there even though I clicked on it twice.

    • misbegottenDec 20, 2016 at 8:59 PM

      Oh wow, The Grand Illusion! Great album.

      Sorry that Imzy isn't working for you. I think it's particularly quiet right now because people are on the go during the holiday season.

      • LizzieDec 21, 2016 at 12:16 AM

        Yeah holiday season could be contributing for sure. It also depends on the communities you've joined too. Some are louder than others. 💜

        Is it mostly the current events type stuff that you're missing out on? That's something I personally haven't been seeking out on Imzy so I don't even have any decent suggestions (everyone take note Lizzie is at a loss for words!). Maybe if others feel the same way we could get a cool "trending topics" or "breaking news" discussion community on the go?

  • ZorkDec 20, 2016 at 8:21 PM

    I just found out that this woman I only knew through a private subreddit... lost her battle with cancer a few days ago.

    It's weird. Reddit. I got involved in community building through these very small private subreddits. And that was going all right for a while until it fell apart because of dumb people with inflated egos, which is a major reason why I've shifted most of my presence HERE.

    I still check reddit and look in on private subreddits I created. But the official "announcement" of this woman's passing occurred in a private subreddit that I'm not a part of... a subreddit that I designed for someone who turned out to be a moron with an inflated ego who liked to collect moderator positions. He thinks very highly of himself because he's a moderator on many "default subreddits".

    Anyway... sad this woman lost her battle but also annoyed that the news was posted on this idiot's subreddit.

    • misbegottenDec 20, 2016 at 8:29 PM

      Sorry about your online friend. :(

      I never did reddit, so I can't speak from experience there. I'm too tired to go into the privacy issue on Imzy, but I'll just say I like the way things are right now in terms of "community" versus "individual" here. I blog where I blog, I Imzy where I Imzy. There's some bleed-through, but I have a much better handle on how much I want to share now than I did when I first started on Imzy.

      Further comment redacted, as I'm much too tired to be coherent. 😉

    • TheOtherSideOfThePillowDec 20, 2016 at 9:26 PM

      I hate the egos on reddit. So tired of that site.

      • LizzieDec 21, 2016 at 12:12 AM

        @TheOtherSideOfThePillow you mispelled shit....

        @Zork sorry to hear about the woman you knew. Life is fleeting for sure. I hope she went peacefully. 💜

      • TheOtherSideOfThePillowDec 21, 2016 at 12:14 AM

        Lol. When I reread my comment I was like "oh shit I did!" And then I was like "actually no I didn't." It was a rollercoaster of emotion.

      • LizzieDec 21, 2016 at 12:18 AM

        You're excused because I know you're getting loaded LOL.

  • LizzieDec 20, 2016 at 8:05 PM

    Watching fella play X-Wing at our nerd haven. Scribbling in my journal because I can't brain hard enough to actually play today.

    • misbegottenDec 20, 2016 at 8:12 PM

      Nerd haven! We need one.

      • LizzieDec 20, 2016 at 8:17 PM

        I love it. 💜

  • LizzieDec 21, 2016 at 12:20 AM

    Played some Star Wars Destiny (new dice and card head to head deck building game) it's super fun. We're getting in on the ground floor on this so we might be helping run some tournaments and stuff at our local nerd haven in the nearish future. And onboarding all the X-Mess Newbs!

  • TheOtherSideOfThePillowDec 20, 2016 at 9:23 PM

    I'm getting drunk at a company Christmas party!

    • LizzieDec 21, 2016 at 12:13 AM

      Jealous me. Of the drunk part. Not the enforced socialization part.

      • TheOtherSideOfThePillowDec 21, 2016 at 12:20 AM

        There is a level of drunk that takes me from introvert to extrovert. Hit it perfectly tonight

      • LizzieDec 21, 2016 at 12:21 AM

        Haha brilliant! Socializing I'm doing it wrong.

  • StrendevalDec 20, 2016 at 8:26 PM

    Burning journals of feelings long past.

    • misbegottenDec 20, 2016 at 8:31 PM

      Cathartic or heart breaking?
