@cybereality I've got to ask the question as I've not seen it asked before except in passing in other threads


why doesn't the information on reddit get posted to the oculus forum (you know, the official site on your own systems that people go to for information)??

i don't use reddit.. Never have and I'm not really interested in starting. I usually think that the forums run by the company is the place to find information from the company.

so why isn't this true?? Pretty sure I'm not looking at reality through some sort of glasses affair (because that got delayed by weeks), but having to get people in the community to repost reddit comments so that people get the information you guys are providing is screwed up...
Though you are more than slightly incoherent, I agree with you Madam,
a plum is a terrible thing to do to a nostril.

Planetside 2 has the same issue.

Agree. Reddit is horrible. I avoid it as much as possible. Really wish we had some of the attention people like Palmer pay to Reddit be given here.
The argument that this use to be a developer forum makes no sense. If anything, that would seem to be more reason for them to visit here more often since developers are helping create products to be used with and lift up their own product. IMHO.

i would be happy if they posted updates on their Facebook page, but i seem to be the crazy one here.

Obviously you don't know the purpose of reddit. Reddit isn't some random forum, it's a place where information can be disseminated to people asking questions either through the AMA or through the particular sub-reddit community you are reading.  It's a place where experts and company employees can "personally" answer questions asked.

A company's forum is just that, a forum; a place for their community to discuss things that are going on.


What a load of hogwash. So someone doesn't like reddit equals them not understanding the purpose of Reddit? Sorry but that is just stupid. Like I said before, I do not like Reddit, the mods on there or the owners of it. In fact, to me Reddit is just as pointless as any of the chan sites(including the ones on Silk road).

Reddit is a forum period, nothing is going to change that tiny fact. Just because plenty have adopted it as some kind of go to place for everything, does not change that.

Thing is, this site and it's forums are no longer pure developer forums and are part of Oculus. Logic dictates they post here too, but they don't. It is rather stupid to come to find answers on Oculus site, to not find it, then being redirected to Reddit to find your answer. In that case, just link this forum directly to Reddit and be done with it. Apparently there was no need for a fancy little Forum upgrade.

Oh and whilst we are at it, lets link Support and Technical Support for anything related to Oculus and the Rift to Reddit as well. Afterall, they don';t bother answering here.


Regardless if you like reddit or not, it touches far more people than their forums ever will.  Yes I agree that they should post pertinent information here as well but like I previously said, reddit is one of the best ways to get information out to the masses.
