The word is spreading

Say, did anyone see BFG's reddit tweet?

Hmm. What a nice office. It could be AC's, it could be CJ's, or maybe not.

AWESOME! It will have a few days to perk before the event! Hurray!

will it be AAMA, IMA, IMA AMAA or just AMAA, without IMA?..

Haha great!

Maybe just the BFG office in general with different desks for CJ, AC etc.

Thank goodness. sbenrap sent them a message about Reddit AMA and making it official on 22nd May and they said they were an office full of redditors but I still worried about the whole "official" thing since that was apparently Jane's downfall compared to Larry Kickstarter who got lots more backers by having their AMA in the Upcoming AMAs. Then when they made that Official Reddit Page (maybe thats what they thought was meant by "official" reddit thing) on June 2nd someone asked:
Would you guys do an AMA for the fans?

We'll do an ask me almost anything! ;)


[–]ifoundgoldbug

Do you have one on the schedule?

[–]BigFinishOfficial

We didn't realize we had to schedule one. We'll be working on scheduling one. Stay posted!
Phew! Glad someone caught that, if not they may of just stuck the AMA up and it would not of been noticed by many outside current backers. I hope this now gets them lots of new interest!

That's why it was critical for it to be Official! Advertising!! For everyone who visits the reddit IAmA board, not just our humble backers and board members. I hope it gets a nice turnout! The Humble Bundle one was a great success!

Wow Sai, you said it so much better than I!

:D

Edit: My voice just, the IAMA is the main place where all of these happen. Then you can designate it an AMA (no holds barred), or AMAA (certain topics a no go).
Official IAMA are listed as forthcoming and can draw more notice, and are for better known members of their respective industries. But anyone interesting can make an IMA AMA.
Hope this is helpful.
Truth be told, I don't really understand Reddit, IAmA, AMA, or whatever.

I guess I'm getting old before my time. :(
you`re [not] getting old, but it`s just lazyness (most likely)

Yeah, you're probably right. I could not care less about Reddit. Because I am a grownup and I only have so much free time to use on websites, and a website that appears to be a mess of links to meme pictures isn't worth my time. Facebook already does that.

So... yeah. I'm both getting old and too lazy.
at least we still know how to pledge!
and nothing else matters

I don't use Reddit much but I found (after they did that other Reddit page) its easier than I thought. Reddit requires much much less for registering an account on the site (think you just need to make a username and password, not even an email required).

Its basically just like a retro forum, where posts are displayed on 1 page, and replies to posts are threaded like:

[+]Username1323 posted 2 Days ago
Oi anyone here??
-------------- [+]User578 posted 2 Days ago
-------------- Yeah I am!

To make a post like Username1323 you just use the big massive comment box (with Save button under it) which should appear right after Chris Jones writing at the top of the page. Or for one like User578 you scroll down to someone elses post and hit Reply.

If you have any questions left in you after the UTM chat we had with Chris/Aaron/Adrian etc. then its worth signing up and posting something :) Despite all the fancy acronyms its basically just a Question and Answer session for a limited time.
