To Stickam or not to Stickam? The big controversy




So if you have been in Shaggys Stickam Chat room the past week you have probably noticed things have been a little tense. He and I had a disagreement which is fine :-) I STILL LOVE YOU SHAGGY!


Shaggy has said over and over again he does not feel appreciated at Stickam, and has complained numerous times about the technical and ethical Practices at Stickam. Now before I go on there are SEVERAL people on Stickam that feel this way!!! Not Just Shaggy!

I voiced my opinion in the room yesterday because I have had nothing but a positive experience with Stickam. Yes, I have had technical issues in my room....Yes, I have been frustrated at times with who is on the front page, and yes, I have even said in my own chat that stickam sucks today! Because sometimes they do. But I have a hard time getting mad at the staff for it because EVERY TIME I write them or contact them for any issue they have responded quickly and kept me up to date on the progress of fixing the problem. I know this is not what happens with everyone and I can see how people get frustrated. I have learn with the stickam staff a little kindness goes a long way.

There are always going to be Technical issues this is a social network, with video, with thousands of people online at one time. There is no way to get around that. I think I learn from working on the Rides at Disneyland a few years back that there are somethings that just can't be avoided when there is a technical issue. The guest would be pissed when the Ride broke down and they would yell at me for it and I had no control over the situation. It would be very stressful trying to make a 200 guest that waited 2 hours for a ride that just broke down happy. Well, I think of stickam as the ride operator and I the guest. I am so excited to go online and when it does not work I am VERY Frustrated but me yelling about it is not going to fix the problem any faster. And I am sure when there is tech issues they get about 100 Instant messages.


Just to clear things up Shaggy and i are NOT mad at each other I got a few e mails about why I was pissed. First It takes A LOT to piss me off and that would have not done it. I am just a very strong, independent thinking, Stubborn, woman that will not back down because everyone else thinks one way. And it does not help that shaggy is one of the most strong will people I know...
So to Wrap this up, I still stand my ground with my position on stickam being a great site and one of the BEST live streaming sites to aggregate Viewers. They are not the best technically I have seen better sites but you will never pull the numbers you do at stickam at any other site. And I know for a fact Shaggy will stick to his opinion about Stickam because that is how he truly feels. You should always voice your opinion and stand your ground. Shaggy is doing that and so am I. We don't hate each other. We are just stubborn asses! LOL ;-)

CONGRATULATIONS LIZZY!!!!

For those of you that didn't know, Shaggy recently put his beloved macbook up on the auction block on the ever popular EBAY.COM. It was a 3 day auction and many fans were battling it out in wars to outbid each other. If you know Shaggy at all, then you should know that his laptop was mos def pimped out! Esp with many of the reggae artists autographs, as well as his on there.... it was definately a most wanted keepsake. But, alas.... there could only be one winner...

and the winner is.... LIZZY!!!!!!!!

yayayayayay!

I forgot the winning bid amount, but I know that Lizzy is extremely happy and excited that she was the winner, and we were very happy for her too!

There was a special attachment for Shaggy to that particular macbook because thats the laptop that he made shaggylive.com with.

Lizzy, we know that you will cherish that laptop was much as Shaggy did, and we know you will take special care of it.


HAVE FUN LIZZY AND CONGRATS!
