Hi! If you're here, you're probably wondering what a LINE group is and/or how to join one Q1. What is this LINE group? ---------------------------- This was originally a group made when the Halloween Candy Restock Craze of 2014 happened. Back then, we were using chatzy to chat so we don't spam the restock thread, but chatzy has its disadvantages and we all suggested making a LINE group instead to make talking easier. We all helped each other getting virtual candies but somehow, we didn't manage to get much or any at all LOL. We became friends instead and stay chatting since, even after Halloween is over. Q2. Who are the members? ------------------------ Currently we have (Referred by their TBT Username): - Amichann - Ayaya* - BellGreen - BlueLeaf - Caffeine Coffee - Cam, - Chibi.Hoshi - cinny - Cokane - Cory - ellabella12345 - Fawning - GodToot - Gregriii - Javocado* - justice - Justin - kesttang - Kiikay* - Lockfancy* - Marii - MrKisstoefur - NSFW* - NikkiNikki - PandaNikita* - penguins - Rebeth13 - S a t a n i* - Tae - Vanilllabeth *The one with an asterisk beside their names are the most active ones in the group chat Q3. What is LINE? ----------------- LINE is a messaging application similar to kik, Whatsapp, etc. You can find more info on the main website here -> http://line.me/en/ The advantage of LINE is its easy use and stickers! If you have a LINE account already, then skip to Q5! Q4. How do I make an account LINE? ---------------------------------- First and most importantly, YOU NEED A SMARTPHONE TO MAKE AN ACCOUNT. Unfortunately, LINE does not let you make an account unless you have one. If you do have a smartphone, find LINE on your app store, then download. It will ask you to input your phone number but don't fear! no one but you can see this number. Afterwards, make your ID. This is similar to usernames and will let other people find and add you (This is needed for us to invite you to the group). Go to Settings > Profile > User ID and pick a name! Remember, this user ID is permanent so pick one you like! After you've made an account, you can link it to the PC app (For more info, go here -> http://help.line.me/line/?lang=en and CTRL+F "How do I use the PC version of LINE?") Feel free to PM me if you need help :) Q5. I made/have an account. How do I join the group? ---------------------------------------------------- Once you're done, PM me (Ayaya) or any of the active members listed above to be invited to the group. We will first add you as a friend then invite you. You then need to accept the group invite. Go to Friends > Groups > [Our Group Name]* and click accept. Congrats! You've joined our group! *Our group name changes from time to time Q6. I'm a member. Now what do I do? ----------------------------------- Start chatting! This is similar to the IRC Chat in The Bell Tree forums, except this one is smaller, more personal/private, and easier for smartphone users. We're friendly so don't be shy! If you're unsure what to talk about, then: - Talk about anything! How your day goes, what's your recent obsession, etc. - Someone is cracking an inside joke and you're not sure what to do? Just go with the flow! Replying with "lol" would usually suffice. - If there's a conversation going on and you're not a part of it, then join! Sometimes members ask for advice, this is your chance to share your wisdom! Basically, you can treat this chat like the Brewster's Cafe board. Some things to expect once you've entered the chat: - We change our topic pretty often. If you can't keep up, it's okay! You can ask one of us to explain. - We are a chatty bunch. Expect to come back to 999+ messages once you're awake. TURN YOUR NOTIFICATIONS OFF (Top bar on group chat > Notifications ON) - We spam stickers too (well, mostly me) - We gossip. A Lot. - Most of us don't play ACNL that much anymore, if you're looking for friends to play ACNL with. We'd love to help if you need any, though! - Since we're pretty close already, that might be intimidating to new members, but don't worry! If you pop in often and give us a chance to get to know you, then you might find yourself with some new friends :D - Most importantly, we're friendly! Say hi and we'll say hi back. We do have some rules to keep the place peaceful: - Be respectful and polite - Don't harass any members about anything - Don't take things personally We can kick you out if you break the rules three times. Please understand that this is to keep the chat in order c: Q7. Can I leave the group? -------------------------- You can leave anytime if you feel like it. We won't force you to stay. If you have any problems, feel free to contact me or PandaNikita.
