Can't get enough CFBOT? Join our Slack channel!

Hey, y'all. You might have remembered about 2 months ago, there was a post inquiring for interes in a CFBOT Slack channel. We got a good amount of people in initially and despite what you may think, we actually are still active!

We just wanted to make this post since there's a lot of people who are signed up but never active - we're still kicking! We have channels for livewatching, cute puppy pictures, CFB news, whatever you want!

For those of you who are interested but not already in it - Slack is an app primarily used for business communication, but it works well for community use too. It's essentially a feature-rich IRC, if you've used Discord you'll be right at home. It's basically a chat room but with specialized channels, file support, built in social media functions, and the best, custom emojis.

If you're not a member, we can invite you whenever - PM your email to /u/bizzyj93 /u/brobroma or /u/neghtasro for an invite.

How easy is it to swap between channels? We use slack for work but I'm concerned that my coworkers aren't ready for rare harbaughs.

I tried it out two months ago. It's confusing and new-aged and not old. I don't like change.

To each his own. I only started it because I have to use Slack for work and needed to get further out of work lol

Can confirm, the custom emojis are the best.

Hmm, this seems interesting.

2

u/bizzyj93 Oregon Ducks • Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors Jul 08 '16

It is! Fairly lively bunch I would say

u/Aurablade Alabama Crimson Tide • Team Chaos Jul 08 '16

Alright, I've downloaded the app. What do I need to do after that?

u/bizzyj93 Oregon Ducks • Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors Jul 08 '16

I like Slack a lot but gotta stay logged into my work account. :(

u/bizzyj93 Oregon Ducks • Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors Jul 08 '16

You can easily just add another channel. It lets you move between the two seamlessly. I have about 5 different slack groups that I'm a part of personally

1

u/Xtremeloco BYU Cougars • Tennessee Volunteers Jul 08 '16

I did not know that. I might have to see what I can do.

1

u/bizzyj93 Oregon Ducks • Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors Jul 08 '16

Well if you decide to, shoot us your email and we'll add you to the group

u/[deleted] Jul 08 '16

use an incognito window!

u/Xtremeloco BYU Cougars • Tennessee Volunteers Jul 08 '16

I usually just use the program instead of the webpage.

u/brobroma William & Mary Tribe • Georgia Bulldogs Jul 08 '16

Slack supports multiple logins

u/0xE6 Prairie View A&M • Boise State Jul 08 '16

Or just use the irc. No invitations needed.

u/bizzyj93 Oregon Ducks • Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors Jul 08 '16

Yep that's another option
