            easy solution that every other streamer on twitch knows about: set up a laptop next to you and open twitch chat there

        I can be there as well, but not during the weekdays, only weekends and nights.

        Let the admin (twitch) staff know and then pick a couple of good shack regulars to help with the modding.

        Would be more than happy to help mod when I'm around, but it seems you have things under control.

        How come there's no dedicated streaming setup? (Hiring any unemployed plebs like myself with streaming experience? Had to ask, heh)

            Sam and Andrew are two of the people who have been deeply involved with the nascent video content that the Shack is producing.

            May 28, 2014 10:52 AM

            Sam and Andrew have appeared in some of our Shacknews videos, like the Shack Snack. Joe is our video producer, so he helps put together the video content. I'm one of the disembodied voices in the background.

                  To be fair, the tree format is similar to that kind of system. I forget the name of the mechanisms here, jazz or something or other

              I just want a big list of who actually does what since the staff page isn't even correct. I don't know who most people are unless I see their name a lot here in chatty sadly.

              she did tell people to come to the chatty at the end of the broadcast. although i'm not sure that's a good thing since most of the people chatting in the stream chat were terrible people or had brain defects

          Yeah, they are busy doing the stream and probably didn't plan that part so that is understandable, but I would assume the goal is to drive people here. I mean I've seen around 2500 people in there a little bit ago.
