Just sort of venting now so excuse me if I go on to much.
Tonight my internet service went out for most of the day due to service provider problems. Called Comcast and they told me they were working on it. While I was waiting, I was fooling around and clicked on the paltalk icon and it opened and I was on the net. Figured my service was back on so I tried to open the internet and it was still down. Called Comcast who said service was still down. I told them that I was on Paltalk and they said that was impossible. I told them I was listening and watching it right now. He told me to make sure it was live and so I decided to simply type the word test to see if it would register,. Sure enough it did and the guy from Comcast was amazed.
The next thing I know I'm being told to "DIE" by some guy named Klivian. I explained why I did what I did and I was then told to Kill myself. I ask why the tough guy act and said I was leaving and I guess I didn't leave quick enough because Klivian then has his Mod buddies bounce me from the "opie and Anthony Fan Room." Now because I dared type a single word, I am banned from the room for 24 hours.
Now can you people see why the fan base isn't growing like it should. People are sick of the bullshit that goes on with these so called groups.
I've been going into that room for over a year and never had a problem. You know why I never had a problem, it was because I never typed anything or said a word. I just listened and watched because I knew that I wasn't one of the special people who are allowed to talk. The first time I did, I get banned.
This is just a perfect example of how fans get treated by 20 something year olds who feel some sort of power in these rooms.
I'll be honest with you, I used to be a die hard fan but it's really hard to continue to be such a fan when there is a certain group of people who really have no life experience thinking that they run everything.

being as the show is so integrated with the fans, Im afraid your always gonna be stuck with the fan whore types.... dont hold it against the show,,,, I understand how you feel though....there are other O&A rooms that are lil cooler;) ask around.

what does the actions of these people have to do with the show itself? I only hear Ant bouncing people during a bit that was ruined by a dopie caller...
If you don't like the actions of people who think they are really apart of the show then distance yourself. I use to have that impression of Wackbag but as I trolled the threads I realized that it was only a few people and started contributing and distancing myself from potential board BS... Never got into the paltalk thing for the same reason.
Saying the show isn't growing because of these people is not fair to the O&A crew. You hear Opie all the time tell the boards to "eat their own."

That is the too cool for the room syndrome. But, I know you and believe me, you are way too cool for that room.
And I agree with you. A listener who wants to take the next step and get closer to the show in a way that is promoted by the show should be welcomed and encouraged, not fucking treated like that and banned.
Part of the show or not, it is the show that gets the negative nod as well as the site, in this case Paltalk.
If they only saw your awesome sig pics.

Well one thing is for sure, when the time comes to renew it simply aint happening. I had it for one year and renewed for another but that's it. I think alot of people are getting sick of these 20 something year olds who think they are someone because they are mods in a internet room.
Note: no offense to anyone in their 20's who aren't power hungry

yeah I can see your point. There are times when I just go into the live room and pull up opants cam,it's a good way to see whats goin on in the show. I don't really pay attention to whats been written in the room. Some of the over zealous fans on paltalk are normally the shy ones at the gatherings, its kinda amusing. Don't let it bother ya.

But to be fair to him, he kinda had to let it bother him to an extent. If it went just as he said, he was kicked out of the room for 24 hours because he angered some little Napoleon type with Mod powers. I realize he needs to let it go, but how can he not be pissed that some little prick kicked him out of the room he got Paltalk for?
Sure it's a big community and he could find other things to do with it, but much like most of us only listen to 202 on XM, most Paltalker fans of O&A only got it for the show interaction.

I agree, it would piss me off too, but Im just saying, look at the bigger picture, this is how most of them act on the net, and in person they are totally different. Don't let one paltalk room annoy you to the point where it puts you off the show. Theres always another room. :)

That’s why I gave up on Pal Talk a long time ago. I guess it's cool to see the show cams live but, I work. At night, it’s a bunch of folks setting up their own little fiefdoms. Between the show, WB and another board or two I have my fill.

The Live room between 6-8:30 a.m. is mostly a decent group. Most of the people who come in after that I have no use for.
it's high school clique mentality for those who need to be ego stroked. Fuck 'em.

Don't get the fans mixed up. Wackbaggers are fans of the show. Paltalkers are fans of themselves. For the most part, they're all over at FBA anyways.

Just sort of venting now so excuse me if I go on to much.
Tonight my internet service went out for most of the day due to service provider problems. Called Comcast and they told me they were working on it. While I was waiting, I was fooling around and clicked on the paltalk icon and it opened and I was on the net. Figured my service was back on so I tried to open the internet and it was still down. Called Comcast who said service was still down. I told them that I was on Paltalk and they said that was impossible. I told them I was listening and watching it right now. He told me to make sure it was live and so I decided to simply type the word test to see if it would register,. Sure enough it did and the guy from Comcast was amazed.
The next thing I know I'm being told to "DIE" by some guy named Klivian. I explained why I did what I did and I was then told to Kill myself. I ask why the tough guy act and said I was leaving and I guess I didn't leave quick enough because Klivian then has his Mod buddies bounce me from the "opie and Anthony Fan Room." Now because I dared type a single word, I am banned from the room for 24 hours.

Seriously, what should you care if one asshole is trying to be an internet tough guy or just running with an overdone gag? It's a minor annoyance, certainly not worthy of the time you took to vent. It's not worth it to let a douchebag get you that pissed off with one word and a bounce. Fuck him. Most fans aren't assholes but there has to be some. THe cyberworld is a lot like the real one...just overlook the shitheads and enjoy the rest of the community.

That's great. I was wondering how long it would take for someone to say that. :clap: :clap:
Seriously, I was just venting. (All the beers I was drinking didn't help either) You hear all the people complain about how that room treats people and I never saw it til now. Doesn't bother me now. I'm done with paltalk. Trying to see if I can cancel now and get some of my money back.

Okay seriously.....this is silly. There are ASSHOLES everywhere in life. Including on paltalk. Klivian was a dickhead to you, no doubt, but is that a reason to stop being a fan? And what does he "run"? Nothing.
Some admin who bounced you from the fan room might have been being a dickhead and a douche, and I will be the first to say that bouncing you was bullshit if everything happened exactly as it did (and I will assume it did). But you yourself said you've had no problem for over a year. So why let one dude who was being a dick in one room change how you look at the show? or even the fan room?
Bad shit happens. If it happens all the time, leave the fan room (there are many other O&A rooms, or come hang in the RF rooms, most of us love both shows) or even leave paltalk. But to change your mind about the show in any way over that would be nuts.

More often the nazi bounces result from someone just trying to be funny and get a laugh. Should they? No. But its their little world. Try not to think of the O&A fan room as the "official" O&A room, and instead as just a place where some fans of O&A choose to hang. I know it has the appearance of being 'official' but it really isn't. It just looks that way because its the most popular.
Or maybe its the most popular because it looks that way.
I dunno.
Come hand in the RF show room sometime. We don't bounce unless you're a complete douche.

Hey, I've been a fan since they came to New York. I bitched and complained when I did not like what they did (and took my grief) and complimented them when they do good. Do I listen everyday, yes. Am I going to stop listening , no.
I'm not blaming the show, just trying to point out that this shit doesn't help when new people are trying to get involved with the show.
Maybe the large quantity of beer consumed last night didn't help. That's what I get for taking the day off to take my son to the dentist.

I really don't want this to get blown out of proportion but I want to make it clear, I really don't think all paltalkers are assholes, just the ones that are.:action-sm
And if it was a gag, that's different but this was just a show of "I'm a tough guy, and you should know your place here" A joke I can handle, this was just being an asshole. At least that's how I saw it.

I appreciate it, It's just I'm sitting there and I get bounced, I'm pissed and there is noone around to hit, scream at or nothing, so I vented here. I felt better afterwards. My wife says I have an anger management problem. I had to do something.
I am getting better though, in the past I would have put a bullet through my monitor. Why? I don't know, destroying things makes me feel better when I'm pissed. :)

Try not to think of the O&A fan room as the "official" O&A room, and instead as just a place where some fans of O&A choose to hang. I know it has the appearance of being 'official' but it really isn't. It just looks that way because its the most popular.
Or maybe its the most popular because it looks that way.
I dunno.
Come hand in the RF show room sometime. We don't bounce unless you're a complete douche.
God forbid O&A fans would want to help out other newer Paltalk people. Why are people so hostile to people asking for help in there? You would think they'd want as many fans of the show as possible.
See I understand the "Joke" aspect of it, but it is a power of sorts to be able to shut someone out of a room the paid for. This is the difference, we're talking about wasting someone's fucking hard earned money on some stupid online camera service just because that guy wanted to be funny, tough or just had a bug up his ass. HE PAID FOR IT. And he didn't do anything worthy of getting bounced from the room. He didn't break any Terms of Use or even individual room rules. We're not talking about some free Yahoo chat room here, we're talking about a pay service.
It's drama, and it's stupid. Every aspect of the internet has it but this was just this guy's way to vent.
And he is also right that it's dumb shit like this that keeps people like me from ever even considering buying the Paltalk service. I type the wrong thing or disagree with somone on a messageboard, suddenly I'm bounced? Fuck that, I have better ways to waste my money.

This isn't about being "thinned skinned". Believe it or not 99.99% of the fanbase has no idea of whats appropriate and what isn't when they go into the rooms. To jump on the guy because he complained he was treated like an asshole and didn't like it is disingenuous. I've seen people who never stepped foot in there come in, ask a question and get treated like a fucking pariah because the question evidently annoyed someone. Then the pile-on starts. God forbid if the person defends themselves then the banning begins. this isn't a "bit". It's juvenile "this-is-our-corner-of-the-schoolyard" high-school shit.
Gazoo, just go into the Live room in the A.M. and stay away from the Fan room. If someone gives you shit, give it right back. You may get banned but at least you get the satisfaction of having told the person to go fuck themselves. Despite a few deluded individuals, theres no "seniority" there, you have as much right to be there as anyone else.

Exactly.
We all know you're not supposed to take anything on the internet seriously, but we're not talking about a free messageboard here. When you pay for a fucking stupid video service and some cunt keeps you from using it in a room you signed up for, it's a big fucking problem.
The guy was right to complain and was right to be pissed.
Just don't pay for Paltalk. Fuck that stupid shit man. All the really good videos get released on O&A's sites anyway. If this is how they conduct their social interaction, why be part of it? Just drop the service.

I can't go back, I'm banned 24 hours.
Besides, what's it going to get me. I'm not part of the so called group and it's really not that important to get attacked by all of his little friends.
Like I said before, at the time I was pissed , like anyone would be and just vented. If I was an asshole, bounce me, but typing the word test to see if I was registering, come on, that's bullshit.
It was certainly a bullshit bounce, but is it really that big of a deal? All you had to do was contact an admin, and you would have been immediately taken off the bounce list.
Paltalk is no different than anything else in life. There's cool people and assholes. Sometimes it's fun; sometimes it's tedioius.
New people come in every day. Some of them don't like it and immediately leave. Others instantly become regulars. Just like they do on the message boards.

I'm not concerned enough about it to care. If I am not wanted, I'm not going to waste my time to go in and try to make nice. It's a piece of trash filled with attention whores.
fan room is not worth your time.
live room during the show is good.

Just had to add to this. I go over to FBA and notice that I have a message indicating i have a new rep message. Now I don't post much there and I don't have much rep but i had no negative til yesterday. Suddenly, I get hit with negative rep telling me to stop complaining and calling me a pussy. Now I wonder who did that? Anyway I just want to thank you. I feel honored that you re still thinking about me!!!!!
But just want to say, it would have been much more meaningful if you actually signed your name and not hide who you were. It's a riot.
Just had to add this because I think it is hillarious. I on the other hand gave who I thought did it positive rep and signed my name. If it wasn't him, no harm done as he still gets positive rep.

Much like over here, over there it's just a few individuals fucking things up and it reflects on everyone else. Like you said, just ignore it.
I never saw much sense in post count numbers or rep systems anyway.

you should try it just red rep everyone and tell them you hope their mother gets titty cancer...then watch them bitch and moan about it.... makes me fucking howl everytime :icon_mrgr

Yeah have to agree Paltalk is great for LiveRoom during the show...beyond that i just never got it...i signed up for a year and used it everytime i was telecommuting to catch the show and i lurked a lot to find out what it was all about at night...to me it was just a big virtual sandbox with people acting like children, wielding 'power' and arguing over embarassingly lame stuff...when my year was up i didn't re-up...way too much drama...but i guess some people love it...just wasn't for me

Had paltalk, let it expire, too much fucking drama, too many children, and that includes the one who had to rush in to defend PT. The OnA and RnF rooms become like too damn many little cliques, yeah the live room was fine, but in many cases if your not one of the "cool kids" meaning a member of FBA, you will probably get bounced. It gets old and wasn't worth it anymore. I can honestly say that it turned me against some of the people in there and I will never be able to say anything good about them.

It probably is funny but I can't do that. If I'm going to red rep anyone, I'll put my name on it. I would rather green rep even if I get red rep. It makes them wonder what I'm up to.
I'm just really goofing around now, usually I don't have alot to write about and when i do it sounds stupid, I got alot of post out of this event. :icon_bigg

it's high school clique mentality for those who need to be ego stroked. Fuck 'em.
Exactly, But these are the people who weren't part of the any cool clique in high school because they are FUCKING LOSER MUTANT ASS FUCKS. I've been bounce instantly the last 10 times I've logged in, I never typed a word until my last few attemts when I typed <---O&A Fan or <----Not ARAB. Doesn't matter, still get bounced. Alot of you are saying "get over it" and I would...but I paid $60 for Pal Talk and these douchbags are preventing me from using it for the only reason I bought it. They might as well of took the money out of my pocket and ripped it up. I don't know about you, but If someone did that to me, I would beat them to a bloody pulp, Not just

I understand the frustration but what else are you going to do? In the past I moderated dozens of gaming forums and I've lost track of the amount of times I wanted to throttle some smart-assed little troll but eventually I had to settle for the fact that they would get to me only if I let them. Theres also the fact that no one owes you any courtesy. The Fan and Live room are essentially privately paid for with no guarantee of "fairness".
As someone mentioned, if you go back just put a few of the mods names on your pal list in case they mistake you for a non-fan. Hang back and try to get the flavor of the room. It took me awhile but I've found the Live room and the R&F Big Ass room to my liking so thats where I hang during show times.
Lastly, theres assholes everywhere and the fanbase has more than its fair share. Just let it roll off your back or you'll end up making yourself nuts :action-sm
