Another suggestion: giveaways throughout the podcast, naked codes and/or puzzles.

Screamingjoypad said there will be a giveaway of a $9.99 code during the podcast. :-)

Don't be obtuse, six months was more than enough to gather a small group to discuss the forum problems, if it hasn't happen yet it's because they don't care and don't intend to do it.

Indeed, GOG.com, set up an RSS or Atom feed on your own site and link to the audio/video file through the enclosure tag (or link in Atom) so that any pretty much any RSS reader can handle it.

Then again, maybe you shouldn't, seeing how your RSS feeds look now.

Or because they are all horrendously busy and it's not a big priority and it's hard to get everyone together and.... Plus, Ciris is just the social media wrangler -- I don't imagine she can make any of the other personnel do anything if they can't/don't want to. In short, don't blame her. But my point was that there was no promise, and your implying otherwise was disingenuous (and the way in which you did it was uncalled-for).
Anyway, they're probably not exactly champing at the bit to get everyone together just to field abusive "questions" from rude, entitled "fans". -_-

GOG should add a feature to this podcast idea by having occasional forum member round-table chats. The conversation topics alone... makes me giddy.

Yeah, "rude" questions like "what are you going to about the spammers that have taken over the forum?", "are you ever going to fix the account log in/sign in bug?" and "are you doing anything to stop the recent wave of account hijacks?". In case you've forgotten, each of those was an issue that lasted for weeks at a time, GOG publicly ignored of them until the "rude", entitled "fans" raised enough of a stink that GOG had to have someone comment on them.

Anyway, a podcast? I don't listen to podcasts just like I don't watch streams but good luck with that. Hopefully it'll bring some more people here so we can get some more AAA games.

As I've said before GOG should really think about adding a goodies section to the site with wallpapers, avatars, ect that focus on GOG. This could be something else that is added right on the site for people that don't use iTunes or whatever, upload the podcast as a video and audio file in the MP3/ MP4 format, etc and allow us to download them here.

So, how was it? Good? Fun? Podcasters seem to have good time? I know they all do a bang up job with the Let's Play type stuff I've watched but this is more of a roundtable chat session yes?

naked what? yes, I agree. this is a fantastic idea. there should be naked on it.
I would accept tickling elsewhere than my imagination. hey, I'm trying to be a team player, here!

Lol, busy to the point that they can't spare 1 hour in 6 months? Really? You trully believe that?

Yes, i blame her and it's not uncalled for, she did make a promise and that was not the first one, she also was the one that contacted me about the asshole that has been plaguing the forum for 9 months asking me for information, when i gave it she promised a solution (later we found out it was a simple chat block, it doesn't solve a thing) and she ignored me when i was asking for more information or solutions, now that is rude.

Abusive questions from entitled fans? How about they actually taking care of their own forum? Do you know that you can make a new account in less than 15 seconds? No real email required, now guess how that is being abused.
Just because it doesn't affects you (because honestly i don't remember seeing you in this forum in the last months) doesn't mean that it can be ignored by gog. A piece of shit is stealing from good people and what does gog do? Nothing. Oh wait, they actually help him by changing his nickname.

But you know what is funny? I've (and other people) been a customer/member of gog since 2011 but i can't post links because the anti bot system prevents me from it. How doe that work? Well, it requires a certain amount of rep to post links and look real close to my rep... uhm... how will i reach the rep required when a useless piece of shit that doesn't have a life keeps downvoting me almost daily, explain that to me.
But you know what is even more funny? The bots keep spamming the forum and it's the COMMUNITY that deletes the spam. Uhmmmmm....

Yeah, "poor" Ciri and "poor" gog, screw those people that are harassed by a single retard that takes advantage of an outdated system full of flaws, screw them for asking for some COMMUNICATION while being ignored by the staff.

I remember doing the proto-GOGcast years ago.

So who's gonna "vocalize" the podcasts?
Gotta be someone with a strong vocal presence, I guess ;D
I'm curious!
