I will give it some serious thought. Regardless, I am glad to see new ideas at work here at Viki. I remember when @dimghro first introduced the idea of Discord, there was some opposition from the old-timers. I was supportive then and I am still supportive of anything that would help the newcomers to navigate through the volunteer system.

Turning off the lights, lying on my bed and typing away through the night until everyone yells at me to go to sleep isn’t my idea of a healthy lifestyle either

We will have more option. since there are other features like screen share for subbing/ segmenting. also you will feel more comfortable there once yo get hang of it like those chats/classes are private. but i should not say more now, i sound like a cult leader recruiting volunteers

Come to think about it you are so right because in the Korean language one word can have so many different meaning depending on the context of the scene playing. While in the English language we have so much more options with words. Thanks for the tip.
What baffles me that when I do the Goggle translate for: 정신 차려 all I get in English is: Wake. I’m so amazed how you and OL translators can make a sentence out of one simple word. I truly admire you all for the hard work you have to do to make a comprehensible sentence in dramas/movies etc. thank you so much!

you won’t regret it. plus trying new features is always good. if you find it uncomfortable, there is always ab ‘‘uninstall’’ button.

You won’t know if you like it, until you try it. So try it and let me know if is a cult or a sales pitch…

This is a good one for that thread you made a while back
정신 means “mind” or “mental faculties”.
Although in English it translated to one word; WAKE, in Korean it was TWO WORDS [정신](mental faculties which makes sense to use as get hold of yourself) …[차려] (this one separately says: dress up) but together is wake (up). OMG, I’m really giving up on learning Korean.
I even found a song. Kim Soo-Chul- Wake up. not that great lmao

I also found it odd that time when that happened, and thought it was maybe bc is for '‘younger crowd’

Korean is a difficult language, especially with all the homonyms, slangs, loan words, etc. but don’t give up.
Btw, 차려 also has multiple meanings depending on the context. Just to give a few example:
상 차려 (sahng-cha-ryeo) = set the table. Here, 차려 means “prepare” or “set”.
정신 차려 (jeong-sin-cha-ryeo) = wake up, come to your senses. Here, it means “regain”
가게 차려 (ga-gye-cha-ryeo) = set up (establish) a shop/store. Here it means, “establish”.

Viki will politely remind you to “let others play” when you talk to the same user of post too many things. Discord is like a group chat.
