general Kik exchange Thread!

[Powercell 30]

So I'm pretty bored most of the time and lack friends, so I was thinking, why not put my kik on mlp forums, and so as of posting this topic I have, feel fre to pop up to me or post your own user on here :3 be a friend ~powercell09~

[repsol rave 2,963]

seems interesting, tough one question seems to come to mind...

what is a kik? :/

i tried googleing it but i couldn't really find anything.

[Powercell 30]

Kik is a smartphone messaging service like BBM or Facebook chat, but an independent and well thought out app.. (Just to clear up confusion an whatnot~ )

@@repsol rave,

I know why you wrote, that you googled it I was tempted to do it again.
Its... this social media-chat-thingy, that a bunch of people on the internet seem to be using. Here is their homepage: http://kikcommunity.com/

 

EDIT: its also a clothes-market thingy over here in germany. They have the reputation of selling the worst and cheapest clothes EVER. ( It even goes as far as having a saying, that thieves, that steal from kik are doing work.)

I already have something like that. It's called text messages.

 

*insert annoying smirk*

 

Seriously, I don't see the point of messaging services on phones. It's a phone. Just give the person your number and text.

[repsol rave 2,963]

ahh, that's why i couldn't find it on my computer XD

sounds like fun actually. this could become like the mobile message boards of the forum

i'll see if i can download it.

1. Overseas texts cost a small fortune

2. Phone contracts that have unlimited Internet but no texts... *insert annoying smirk*

In fact, I think I do have a kik.

 

My username is The_Unofficial_Ninja I believe,

 

Feel free to message (or kik) me any time you would like.

Not everyone has a cellphone - my boyfriend decided specifically that he was sick of cellphones and just goes without a phone entirely, so I use Google Hangouts to get in touch with him.  (Plus, I also use it on my computer, so it just kinda makes sense to use it on my phone)

My username is SellyBelly411. I won't reply all the time though (when ai am in school, roleplaying, etc) so yeah, kik me whenever. Just not at

3. Some people don't make heavy use of their phone and/or cannot afford a regular plan and are thus stuck on prepaid accounts... as such they may have to pay for every text received and/or sent - making SMS less than ideal for rapid-fire chit chat.

4. I prefer to only give people my phone number that I trust a great deal, whereas instant message accounts are much easier to walk away from if I end up getting tackled by a ton of people that I don't want to deal with.

 

*insert annoying smirk*

 

That said, does Kik offer any advantages over services like Skype? I make heavy use of it on both my PC and phone - in many cases it serves as my primary source of IM communication.

*breathes life into the topic*

 

So, people who have kik, is it really worth getting?

[Onylex 2,837]

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but, whats KiK?

[Scootalove 10,689]

Messaging services on a phone? No thanks, but maybe I'll reconsider.

[ChoroChii 284]

I don't have a cell. ouo; lol

[Psych Ward 377]

I'll make a kik later tonight.  I've been meaning to do it for AGES!

[nickdh 49]

Fellow Brony Kik-ers? Heck yeah!
Message me: vebeba1

[Jokuc 8,173]

oh yeah I've had one for ages (=

 

I prefer it over both sms and skype (on the phone).

 

Skype for the phone lags sometimes and when you get lots of notifications it can take a while to load. Plus, you have to login and stuff.

normal text messages costs money, kik runs through the internet and is therefore free. I have unlimited data so that is perfect for me.

 

my kik username shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

Don't bother adding me if you want to role play. I DO NOT RP.

I wish people would stop saying kik on a phone is stupid, cuz im gonna tell you why it's not

 

~What if you can't have a phone contract? For a long time, i didn't have a sim card in my phone (don't ask)

~What if they don't have a phone? My phone is currently *cough cough* not working, and i use kik on my tablet (Which i'm on now)

~What if you don't wanna give out your number? I sure wouldn't i get creepy enough texts on kik, besides, if you have a number, you can track people to where they are

~I live in canada. You think it's free to text someone in hawii?

~You can't stop someone from texting. You CAN block someone on kik, and report them

 

Pretty good reasons huh? And if you don't think so, i have more

[Powercell 30]

Let's just pretend my phone didn't just deep out there... After I asked you all if you'd make accounts xD totally didn't do that Dammit iphone!!

@jokuc sorry man xD didn't mean to wake you :/ so, new rule, post your time zone as well! XD and don't message people late.. Like past 11pm.. Just courtesy rule..

I'm good at any time of the day.  I may not reply, but I have Kik on my tablet so it doesn't make noises.
