1.As has been said before the box will be removed if complained about.
2. Their technical difficulties in this case were beyond their ability to resolve and require a lead time of 2 -3 weeks.
3.There is a degree of strategic thought going on within their management. Or that it was the least worst option.
4. Keep It Simple Stupid. Three channels; a blonde a brunette and a redhead well run would be better than making a mess of four.
(By failing to ensure we hear Fernanda's sign off for example)
5. That Rebecca Kelly fans (of whom Ben Whitehall was the most forthright on the Firestorm chatroom) were the losers. We couldn't condone that especially since Rebecca was a strong contender in the poll at the end of last year.
6. That picture in picture (as he calls it) ought to be a useful enhancement if used correctly.

Intriguing post. Thanks for, once again, persuing the donkey work on this Chrisst.
Though I feel there are more pressing problems with 66's output atm (stream 4's use for one) I can see why these PiP boxes always cause a stink on here. They are an irritant to all but granted a major menace to cappers.
It wouldn't be fair to imply that 66 were prioritising their use however (if that's what anyone was doing) as Gallery was obviously asked about it and was responding above. I don't think the problem's standing can be judged from that chatbox. The boxes have reappeared as a response to 903 and 66 obviously wish they could do without them.
I also find 66's willingness to engage on stuff like this these days quite refreshing. I'd rather these communication lines were there than not - however much we might not like the answers at times - because there is, generally, information to be gleaned even from the most negative sounding answer. Not every user (paying or non-paying) phones a babe and wastes his £2 a min for a chat on such things.
As for Chrisst's list....
1. It's good that they are apparently willing to listen and act on this sort of thing. This is the second ot third time in recent months were they have done so. There seems to be a little effort to stand out as more immediately responsive than BS.
2. This is the sort of practicality it's easy to not see as a fan. Every business has frustrating lead times when relying on third party firms.
3. Yes. There is thought behind the boxes but their use or not comes down to priorities and how much 66 are willing to reflect those here.
4. I agree with the general sentiment. Absolutely...
Except, if your opt.4 is used to her shift and you don't want to piss her off or drop her earnings completely! Opt.4 is there at all atm because we, the babes and 66 are used to it being there sometimes. Variety is usually praised on here. Should we really be asking for less babes in each day? Of course, what
sort of Opt.4 it should be is an entirely different matter.
I don't think we can blame Fernanda's sign off mic issues on the Opt.4 problem at all. That mic problem has been around almost as long as there have been babe channels. It's not gotten any worse since the loss of 903 or anything. Fern's just been unfortunate with it lately and we've been looking for it. It's something they've always needed to do better on but have never really tackled. (They REALLY do need to find a way to automatically fade the music when the mic's level is raised, but that remains only half the problem.)
5. Spot on. Top day babe - especially as regards giving value to a certain kind of caller I feel.
6. Hmmm. If used sparingly perhaps. A couple of mins every half hour or so perhaps. Or when the babe in the box is on mic or changed or newly outfitted or whatever. It is the unwarrented or poorly positioned use that creates the most frustration. Removing them only when three babes are on would be a big start.
And that leads to...

^ This times 100. This is what every single babeshow fan (NO every redblooded male) would have thought switching to Macy's stream this morning but 66 don't pay hardly any attention to composition on such things.
Seemingly they didn't give it enough consideration on implentation. The ability to position the box and accompanying OSGs to left or right as best for the shot should have been a prerequisite of starting PiP. So many guys watch and cap the clean streams they should factored into this sort of thinking at every turn long ago.
