Clearly what we must do is organise at least one weekend a month to sit down and chat each other up, just for old time's sake. I'm not gonna be so naive and believe things can go back to their glory days, but a little reminiscing never hurts, no? As most efforts to "revive" the boards to their glory days have met with abysmal failure, and most attempts to "reinvent" the boards to our new situations have met with slightly less abysmal failure, it's time to try a different approach, and Noxy's plan seems quite sensible. We should endeavor to coordinate these weeks ahead of time and during such time, people should use the time they have available to get on the Hideout. I'm not asking for a huge commitment here - just that during Hideout Weekend, you use your time that you normally use playing WoW, watching anime, or whatever it is you people do in your free time, on the Hideout and in the associated IRC chatrooms instead. What exactly we'll do on these weekends isn't something I've entirely figured out yet, but I imagine there will be chatting and maybe some RPing of some sort involved. Suggestions are welcome. More importantly, we should start planning some weekends. August is about halfway done, so let's try now to schedule one for August (if possible), as well as September. I don't really have any preference, myself. |

Well, before we can really start planning anything, we need ways to get in contact with all those people that don't visit anymore, don't we? Like a communication net or something.
Maybe we should start with brain-storming a list with all the essential people. Before we can even contact anyone and work up a weekend, we'd need to know who to contact.

Maybe we should start with brain-storming a list with all the essential people. Before we can even contact anyone and work up a weekend, we'd need to know who to contact. As Administrator, I am capable of viewing the e-mail address for any member of this board, even if they have it set to hidden. So this communication net of yours will only be necessary for members whose listed e-mail address is no longer active or for members who no longer have an account at all (either of which is possible for members who have been inactive for a very long time). Based on the Hideout's current member list, I would say the following members have been important enough at some point in the Hideout's history to at least merit contacting for this project. I would not say they are all "essential" and there are many I doubt will respond, but it doesn't hurt to try. I am open to further suggestions. This list is certainly subjective - there's a few people with higher post counts than some people on this list, but I guess they just didn't leave an impression on me. Active (Last login within the past month): -Alyx -Crystallis -Firehawk -Nocturn -pink_lugia -Starbird -Starry -Videospirit -Warlock -White Inferno Inactive (Last login within the past year): -Cavelcade -Chris Asmadi -Chris-Chris -HaitokuHonoo -Lynn -Manus Dei -twineyfox -Verna Very Inactive (Last login within the past two years): -Kor -Mutamu Missing Persons (Last login within the past three years): -Gunsmoke Mist Only Spoken of in Myth (Last login within the last four years): -nagumo -ricka |

Whee, I'm on the list, even if you did put a space in my name AGAIN.  That said, it makes sense... but *shrug* |

So I myself currently only have means to contact Cav and Manus, AND I SHALL DO JUST THAT once I see them online. People, just make'em aware of this thread. We can do this.

Oh load, if this is successful that could be a wild weekend. XP Certainly sounds promising. I'm a little surprised nagumo got a mention over Ruda though Ruda was so-so active in chat once upon a time no? |

Yeah, but Ruda was never really active on the boards.
Nagumo was sort of active back in his day... it's just his day was way... way back in the day.

Jeez, disappear for a few days months and suddenly its "OMG HE'S ABONDONED US!!!". I fixed that for you. But as you wish, you're changed to "active" in that list, due to your triumphant return. |

I've been posting when I feel inspired, but my condition has deteriorated again.
