Welcome to Retrospec™, the last social media network you will ever need. You are one of the few selected to test this exciting new platform based on our cutting-edge algorithms. Less than two hundred invitations have gone out, and membership is not currently open to the public. However, we hope you will come to see how useful Retrospec™ is, given time. We have for your use a variety of features such as text, voice, video, and image posts. We encourage you to explore our many options. Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. As a reminder, everything besides uploading a profile picture and information was locked until this post. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently. Oddly, profile pictures still cannot be swapped out at this time, so hopefully you took a good one. This post is an overflow from the original post here. Feel free to either carry over threads from there or create entirely new ones.

I'm sure that's a joke, but I really would be more worried about my identity. [ha. ha ha. hahahaha ha ha hhhaaa.]

I think the worst part is that we just have to wait to see what happens. It seems our hands are tied otherwise. No one I've spoken to seems to know how to contact them.

no im serious
that laptop is my bread and butter
if they fuck it up ill fuck them up
end of story
so theyd better keep their hands off or ill get hands-on one way or another

[blooming_resonance]

Ah... maybe it would be good to make a few extra backups just in case. And not in the giving out links to your soundcloud sort of way.

I would recommend looking up lawyers either way. Physical violence or vandalism will just get YOU in trouble.

[longwei2go]

well like you said theres no way to find them
so whatever
if i had money for hardware for backups and lawyers id be all about that

[blooming_resonance]

Not even something like a couple cheap USB drives?

That does make it a little more complicated.

Still, I think a class-action lawsuit would be impending, since there's so many of us. You wouldn't have to foot the whole bill, if at all. Most of the time, they receive their money from the winnings of the lawsuit.

If you do use your music for income, though, you'd be a valuable asset in a suit against them if the data became corrupted somehow by their program.

im not keen on going to court again
but whatever ill figure something out if it becomes a problem

[She wants to say 'it's a little different being a plaintiff than a defendant' but she doesn't want to assume that Yin's as much of a troublemaker as she looks like. Always stubbornly seeing the best in people, Sakuya Haibara] It looks like you'll have plenty of support, either way.

I think we're all in this together, and we probably shouldn't forget that. Even if for no other reason than there's strength in numbers.

[ it's a fair assumption to make honestly, but no Yin was indeed the plaintiff last time too. it was buried in the back of some local paper, too, given the horrific result of the accident. ]

i guess so
they really didnt think this through too well

[blooming_resonance]

No not particularly. Especially as coming from America, and how sue-happy the culture is.

One misstep and there's a lawsuit for everything.

In this case it feels justified, though.

[longwei2go]

haha yeah
i mean what were they expecting
everyone just throws themselves all over this like its the hot new thing

well
i guess some people are

[blooming_resonance]

It always pays to be that way around things like this. And I'm glad it's been the majority of people that are leery of apps just appearing on their phones.

The age of cybercrime has at least given people some red flags, I'm glad.

I guess for now our hands are tied, though. I'm not sure there's much we can do yet.

[longwei2go]

if they were planning on roping in a bunch of suckers easy its a sad day for them

anyway its harmless enough for now and your right
nothing we can do

may as well have some fun on their dime

[blooming_resonance]

More or less, as long as we're cautious and don't go about revealing everything about ourselves, it, for the moment, can't be much worse than Facebook or Twitter otherwise.

So yes, let's have some fun on their dime.
