I changed the topic, so that all opinions are welcome, whether they agree with me or not!!!
Did anybody go to the live chat with Nick on the FanClub?
Was anybody else disappointed? I waited in that chat room for six hours, for him to answer like 10 questions!!!
Although he did sing, and he looked yummy, but 6 hours for like 30 minutes?
-
Wow, I feel totally the opposite. He was there for about an hour, first of all, which is longer than I thought he would be, and he answered as many questions as he could in that hour. I think it's totally cool of him to devote an hour of his own time to a web chat. That's not something he HAD to do, and you don't see any of the other guys doing it. (Hopefully they will sometime soon, but they haven't yet.) I'm not disappointed at all; it was actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be.

I thought it was an amazing chat. It was an intimate as it could possibly get and I think the questions were awesome for the most part. Compared to the way things were run the last time, this was incredible!

All I need to say is...Ditto

I am not mad at Nick...I thought he did great!
I am disappointed with the way the chat was handled.
First I logged on a 12 to make sure I was in the first 200 and then like 480 signed on and I kept getting disconnected.
Then right before the chat started when they started taking questions, I got disconnected again and could not get back into the chat...
It kept asking for a password.
and he wasn't there for an hour.
The chat didn't actually start until 6:10 and was over at 6:56.....
I think what he did was amazing and hearing him sing made my day.
I was just expecting a little more I guess.
and what was with the questions?
what freaking car would you be? come on
and boxers or briefs...there went a freaking minute and a waste of a question how many times has that been asked?
and of course I am pouting a little because my question didn't get asked....but it was a really good question!!!!
my question was, have the guys considered possibly doing a benifit concert in New Orleans, and do it on pay-per-view or DVD and a portion of the profits go to charity?
I think that is a lot more worthy of an answer than freaking boxers or briefs or what is the craziest thing you've done to or for a girl!!!!
I am really just ranting so no body take me serious please!!! ;)
-
Aww you would have wanted to poke your eyes out with w spork then if you saw the chars from the last time around. They weeded through good questions and asked things like boxers or briefs and then cut the chat short after about 30 minutes.
That was a good question though.
I asked if he ever got any feedback from Kevin reguaring House of Carters
-
I really don't understand why people are complaining about the Nick chat. We should feel blessed and lucky he had enough time to come in and talk with us.
Since I have joined the fanclub, I have been in the chat room when Brian and Leighanne have come in and it is just pure pandemonium. It was hard for them to ask questions with everyone typing at once, and this way the questions were sent to moderators and then were sent to Nick. He was able to physically answer questions, which was something they had never done before.
He was there for actually an hour, according to the outsite link to the whole chat stream. I am happy if one of the Boys are in chat for ten minutes since they ARE so busy. Again, this chat via webcams is something new, so please cut them a bit of slack.
There may have been some glitches, but please give everyone behind the chat a break! This was something they had never done before. Be thankful we had the chance to see Nick and hear him answer questions and be himself. I am personally happy with the chat, system problems and all. I have actually become a bigger fan of Nick after witnessing his true self. Fun, free and spirited! :D
-
I definitely agree that the chat was amazing! I've been a member of other fan clubs in the past and I've never experienced anything like this. I felt it was well worth the wait. None of my questions got answered, but I was fine with it. Acutally two of my questions got answered, but they both were a part of someone else's question, so I was satisfied with that. LOL! I found it really neat to see Nick in his natural surroundings. He seemed to be having fun with it and I wonder if the chat had gone on a little longer had his net not messed up at the end. Either way, I found it amazing and I'm definitely pleased with the results. I can't wait for more of these chat sessions. This was WAY better than just words on a screen. It made it that much more real! ;D On an off note, his dog is adorable and I couldn't stop laughing as he kept telling his dog to stop biting. LOL! :D Gotta love Nick!
-
He did a great job!
I hope that's how they do them all.
-
So this is my opinion...
Nick is famous, right? Right. He's really busy making music to PLEASE YOU!... Right? Yeah. So why complain? If Nick was just some other shmoe on the street, you wouldn't give a damn about him and you know it. He can't please every single fan possible. on top of that, it's not easy to run a website that's as big as the BSBFC. Get over yourself, for real. I think the mods did an amazing job, and you need to get over it that he didn't answer your question. Well guess what chickie, he didn't answer mine or my best friends either, and we're not mad about it. We're even happy that Nick gave us the time of day! NONE of the boys have to come, and honestly, they're too busy to come, and fans needs to accept that. If you are soooooo upset with how he didn't spend long enough, then that's too bad, isn't it? He has a job to do, music to write. Accept it or get over it. Stop complaining... No one likes a whiner *shakes head*.
Oh, and yes, I agree with Starry Eyes 100%. Nick just wants to be himself... Fun. Free. Spirited. Oh yes. And he shall, but only if fans let him do so. So say it with me girls, WE WILL BACK OFF OF THE BACKSTREET BOYS AND LET THEM COME WHEN THEY CAN!!!!!!!!!! Yay for webcams<3

LOL! A little harsh, but I agree. Kudos to you! I didn't have the guts to put it the way. ;D
-
She said she was just ranting and to ignore her. There was no reason to be that harsh. Sometimes people are expecting more than what they get. It's a fact of life.
I think the overall opinion is that the chat rocked. No need to get all defensive with those who didn't agree.
-
Some people just speak their opinions different from others, whether it be fluffy or harsh! ;D
-
Well i'm not a big fan of harsh. I changed it from we because I don't want to speak for anyone else lol
-
Yeah. I DO think it could have been worded a little bit nicer, but I also agree that the Boys don't really have a lot of free time to do stuff like this all the time. And just the fact that Nick cared enough to come in and spend close to an hour with us, answering questions and just spending a little one-on-one time with us was more than most artists ever do in their entire careers. And this isn't even the first chat these guys have done for us, so that just shows how much they care.
The only thing I was really disappointed in was the fact that questions that have been answered a million times were asked yet again. I mean, how many times do we have to hear the "boxer/briefs" question? But there's nothing Nick could do about it so, it's all good.
I still think Nick is a total dork, but I must admit, this chat made me grow a small, minuscule fondness for him. Overall, a job well done by the Fanclub.
-
Well i'm not a big fan of harsh. I changed it from we because I don't want to speak for anyone else lol
lol I see what you mean, Mare.
-
I'm sorry I was hars.... I just have a lot of built up aggravation from some fans. It's like they're not appreciative of what they're given. I dunno. I apologize if I offended anyone.

ok...so really you kind of pissed me off here!!!!
I CLEARLY said that I was just ranting!!! And no where in my post did I say anything negative about Nick or the mods. I was simply pissed that stupid questions like boxers or briefs was being answered, but so many substantial questions weren't...
It wasn't even the point that mine wasn't answered, any question with substance would be fine for me. I think that you seriously need to chill out and stop worrying about my whining, because your bitching is far more annoying!!!!
edit*** I just noticed that you applogized for offending anyone, but I am leaving my post, so that I can justify my anger and frustration.
-
Wow, this thread almost seemed like LD for a couple of posts there LOL. No need for the drama. We can respectfully disagree like we did for the first few posts in here, and it turns out we weren't in that much disagreement anyway. Like Brandy said, her complaint was more about the technical aspect of the chat, not Nick himself. I agree with those who said to cut them some slack since it's their first time doing a web chat, but I can understand feeling annoyed about getting kicked out and whatnot too. I'm just glad they were able to record it so everyone has a chance to see it. That chat made my whole day! :)

It made my day too, Julie! We got to see the... fun, free and spirited side of him! :D

Yup and that is what we are trying to avoid on this board guys. We can all discuss things without being rude and harsh. I'm glad you both said what you needed to say and then moved on.
Nick made my whole night as well. I watched that chat twice yesterday lmao and yes, i'm still squeeing about his Kevin and the guys remarks.
-
woah did I actidentally log on to LD or something? DRAMA ALERT! Since when is AC drama?
I do think it was nice of Nick to do the chat, but I don't blame Brandy for her post. She just got frustrated because it wasn't working so she came here to vent to her friends who would understand. She even said she was just grumpy. We've all had our venting moments here. I know Brandy meant nothing against Nick. I'm sure she loves him and was grateful that he took the time to talk to us. So all I wanted to say was I'm sorry it didn't go so well for you hun. Hopefully you'll have better luck with the next one.
To actually reply to the original topic, I doubt anyone else had my problem. I was logged on and watched for about ten minutes. Then I got bored and shut off the computer. Man I am so not devoted anymore am I? Curse the damn ADD!
and to add a question to the mix, what was everyone's favorite part of the chat? (Nick singing not included, since that's kind fo a given.)
-
My favorite part was when he kept talking to his puppy. LOL! :D I just started cracking. It's so nice to see him in his natural surroundings and we can see him for who he really is. I always knew he was a great person, but I really saw how much he's grown up. Sometimes when he's with the other guys, it's almost like he tries to compete, but seeing him one on one, I can see that he's really grown into an amazing man. I guess we got Kevin to thank for that. LOL!
-
You know what mine was, but i'll say it anyway.
When he said he admired Kevin most I about melted into a pile of squishy goo lol
-
I don't think I can point out a favorite moment, if you don't count him singing.
I think I enjoyed his overall goofiness.
He doesn't take his self to serious and I like that about him.
He was so corny!!! and adorable with his little puppy!!!!
I really enjoyed the question about who he admired and it touched my heart when he mentioned how much he looked up to Kevin. And how the guys were all there for him when he was going through his family problems.

All thanks Honey!!!! And you are right! I love Nick and I am very grateful that he took the time to talk with us at all. I look at it now and I feel goofy for getting so frustrated! I mean come August 20th I can ask him to his face!!!! YAY Atlanta VIP!!!
BTW....when can I expect a Being Jamie Baker update? LOL!!!
-
If only Nick got to pick out the questions. I think the mods shove him a total of like 10 questions or somestuff. Supposedly there were 10,000 questions that were submitted. That's a lot of questions. And I still want Nick's dog.... I think I might steal it. (jk)

aww, well I can understand the venting thing. haha. I've had my fair share of special rants on here. So what parts DID you enjoy? I should go watch the rest of it because it sounds like it got interesting after I left. And you can expect an update for Jamie once I get home and back to my own computer and get a little peace and quiet. Sigh... that may be a while.
And lol, Mare. I can just imagine you melting into a giant puddle in your chair when he mentioned Kevin. Hopefully it was just the inspiration you need for that new story!
-
^ Yes I almost bawled because i'm a huge dork lol And yes it did help. Now I have some ideas for chapter 3 :) The Nick, Kevin and Howie chapter.

He has a job to do, music to write. Accept it or get over it. Stop complaining... No one likes a whiner *shakes head*.
Oh, and yes, I agree with Starry Eyes 100%. Nick just wants to be himself... Fun. Free. Spirited. Oh yes. And he shall, but only if fans let him do so. So say it with me girls, WE WILL BACK OFF OF THE BACKSTREET BOYS AND LET THEM COME WHEN THEY CAN!!!!!!!!!! Yay for webcams<3
It's in people's nature to complain, it's how they work. No one, it seemed, was mad about questions not being answered (here anyway). Disappointed? Maybe. Thus is life, though.
People come home from work and bitch about their boss it doesn't always mean they hate their job.
Have some respect for other people. Yes, your opinions are great, so are mine, but that was a little over the top.
-
My fav part? When the dog kept licking his face. Cute.
I will add here that since I'm the braun to Mare's brains we all better get some happy-happy joy-joy going because as soon as things start looking like LD around here, I will shut this shit down. 'Nuff said!
-
lol Julilly. I would say I dare you, but then how else would I waste my time? I'd have to start stalking you on IM or something. You don't want that.
-
I know, I was afraid i'd have to go all teacher on everyone's butts. lol
-
oh and hehe I love when the puppy licked Nick's face while he was singing.
-
lol Julilly. I would say I dare you, but then how else would I waste my time? I'd have to start stalking you on IM or something. You don't want that.
I would cry. :(
(I'd also probably write more LOL. Or just go fight on LD again LOL.)
-
I've not really been on LD before, so I would cry if "this shit" got shut down, lol.
-
I fell in love with Nick all over again!!!! I couldn't get into the chat, but was glad I got to watch him while it was happening anyway. :D He made me giggle tons! I loved how he kept talking to Maxie & when he sang - by God, I almost fell off my chair! Well, stool - I was on the bar computer - lol.
~Lenni~

Bar computer? Does your computer have a drinking problem? o_O
