Re: Rupture Chat
It's been great talking to the handful of you who have stopped by our Rupture Chat to ask questions, share your suggestions, and discuss problems. We wanted to give you all some helpful information about our Rupture Chat. Especially since we've missed some of you who have attempted to visit us since we see all of you who poke your heads in:
- If someone doesn't respond right away, give us a few minutes :)
- Typing text to the chat will ping us with a sound.
- Not all the staff is in there at all times!
- We're not officially at the office on weekends, however, it's not unusual to find us there on weekends - but keep in mind, we might be less responsive.
- Our office hours range from around 8:30am to 6:30pm so those are the dominant time periods that one of us is usually present.
- If for some reason the chat is idle when you pop your head in and you've got something to say, then submit feedback - you will always receive a response and we'll probably ask ya some questions to learn a little more about you, our users!
Our new office is now looking, and working (hello internets!), like a real office. Snapping pictures of the office later today and tomorrow - will toss some interesting office move pics up here, soon!

Rupture moves offices; former 3rd story neighbors rejoice!
We have recently endured a move of offices... a whole block and a half away from our previous office! We spent the better part of the last day of April packing our office up and making the haul 0.2 miles down a busy street in San Francisco to our new location :). We wish our former 3rd story neighbors at the old building some well deserved quiet and relief from our random bouts with Rock Band! Adventurous and storytelling pictures of the move, to come...

Update & Gamer Name info!
As some of our previous users may have noticed, we have changed the information required to login to Rupture and have also introduced the Rupture Gamer Name. The e-mail address associated with your account is now used to login instead of a login or account name. A Gamer Name is a name setup by you, the user, which is used to identify you around the site - the name you choose is what will be displayed to everyone else! You can change this name at any time. There is a temporary system setup allowing access to your account using your old login credentials, if needed... but remember it's only temporary, so login, setup your Gamer Name and make sure your e-mail address is correct!
We've pushed through a couple updates, recently, here are some changes and highlights:
- New feed design and style enhancements.
- Introduced Gamer Name for users to setup which is your name that is displayed to other users around the site.
- Changed login system - email address is now required as part of login credentials instead of a login name.
- Rupture Chat - if you want to talk about any question, problem, bug, suggestion, request or just want to chat with us, come hang out!
- New Event Details page - each event now has its own details page which is where comments are now made and stored.
- You can now delete comments you make.
- Customizable gamer tagline!
Update on what's coming soon later next week, make sure you check back! Come chat with us and other users in the meantime!
