Nice you were able to do both! [lol]

Antagonist 03-24-2014 09:49 AM

Oh, good, for a moment there I thought I'd had the complete mistaken impression of your nationality for all these years. [sweat];;

musasgal 03-24-2014 09:53 AM

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 03-24-2014 10:51 AM

@Nim: That would have been embarrassing indeed! [lol]

@Musa: Hope so! [eager]

Antagonist 03-24-2014 02:32 PM

Yeah [gonk];;

Saw the news about the Turkish prime minister (is that what they're called in English? I'm not sure...) banning Twitter today on the news, and how their Twitter activity immediately exploded afterwards. [lol]

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 03-25-2014 12:45 PM

@Nim: Yus, Prime Minister. [yes] And yeeeah, he banned Twitter. > 3> Still works for me though! On the website at least. Can't seem to get to it through Trillian. =\

[:O] -plants flowers all around the hidden Clock-

Antagonist 03-25-2014 01:01 PM

I feel stupid but what's Trillian? [sweat]

And wth. [gonk] According to the news, he banned it because he feared that social media would ruin his reputation or something...though how he intends on salvaging/changing his image when he bans such a popular/major way of communication and news I have no idea. [sweat]

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 03-25-2014 01:08 PM

It's an instant messenger service. Like AIM or MSN Messenger. [yes] But it also provides the means to combine a bunch of other messengers into it so you're not running each one individually. You just sign up with Trillian and then input your login stuff for whatever other messengers you want and it runs them all through it. [yes]

And yup! [lol] Another excuse is that it was ruining the youth. But people here have been using Twitter to organize their protests and such and kind of rally against him so it's no wonder he shut it down. But yeah, I agree. Don't know why he thinks it will help anything, shutting it down.

Antagonist 03-25-2014 04:47 PM

Oh, wow, that's convenient! Wonder why I've never heard of it here. O_o;

lol Ruining the youth? As if there aren't a huge population of people well over the age of 30 also using it! xD
If anything, shutting it down would just cause a larger backlash against him, making him even more unpopular...

I posted off the ponytail yesterday!!

Ling 03-26-2014 09:46 AM

I hate censorship for the sake of concealing information from the public just to maintain a certain image....[no]

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 03-26-2014 08:44 PM

@Nim: I don't know. [:O] I don't think it's very well-known. XD Either that or not well-received maybe.

Seriously. [roll] I'm wondering if he's going to shut down Facebook and Youtube too. P: I heard talks about that, but nothing recent I think. But then, I don't really keep up with it.

@Musa: Hooray! [boogie]

@Ling: Tru dat! [no]

Antagonist 03-27-2014 12:16 AM

Maybe it'll gain popularity later on, when more and more people use it. [XD]

Facebook and YouTube too?! What the hell. I'll be surprised if people don't kick him out of his seat if he did that. [rofl]

musasgal 03-27-2014 12:37 AM

-sighs- No more parachute festivle

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 03-27-2014 07:00 AM

@Nim: It's been around for a while now I think. [lol] I think there's some other services that do the same thing though so ... -shrug-
Seriously. [roll] We'll see what happens with all that. [stare]

@Musa: That sounds interesting! What does a parachute festival have? Aside from maybe parachutes...? [lol]

musasgal 03-27-2014 09:29 AM

@Iku: lol but no, it was a music festival. It covered everything, but Parachute Music canned it for good, because of money loss and low numbers

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 03-31-2014 10:20 AM

Aww. :c Did you attend it?

musasgal 04-01-2014 01:21 AM

Yep. Only once though

Ling 04-01-2014 04:44 AM

[ninja] hello people!!

musasgal 04-01-2014 05:25 AM

Heeeeeeeeeeey ♪

couldn't resist :P

Antagonist 04-01-2014 09:34 AM

Loving your avatar Musa. :DDD

musasgal 04-01-2014 06:49 PM

Thanks ^^

It's less of an image-conservation effort and more of a population-control effort. A couple leaders have already tried this tactic recently and it didn't end well. I've never used Trillian, but for a while I was using Pidgin, which is the same thing. It was really nice to have all of the messengers consolidated into one.

musasgal 04-03-2014 05:57 AM

*tilts head*
eh?
