Building a Contact List - UPDATED INFO

[TheGood]

I'm growing concerned that .NET and .ORG will permanently go down.  If you would like to be part of an e-mail list/group please send me via Private Message here on .ORG your e-mail address and I will start building a list of contacts. 

Let's just say you need to be someone I recognize from either .NET or .ORG, someone I don't know with only a post or two here won't make the mailing list. 

I'll check here daily and copy anyone's email who PM's me to an offline list so it will be as up to date as possible and won't get lost if .ORG goes down. I will only invoke the mailing list if we know for sure that .NET and .ORG have gone down permanently.

UPDATE:

Anyone who can't login and PM can send a request to join our growing e-mail list to the following address:

pkt_kk (at) yahoo (dot) com

Good idea, I'm in.

Thanks guys, list of 5 so far! 
Anyone concerned about 'politics'/affiliations/disagreements please don't, it's just important to keep the CG 'family' together.  Everyone's welcome if it goes to e-mails, and we'll discuss setting up a new 'home' from there.

[TheGood]

So CG was running/fast until this evening, now it's down with 504 timeout error again.

We're up to about 15 members on e-mail list, hopefully more will join once .NET comes back up again.

Email to the following address if you can't get online to .NET and don't have a login here to PM me.  You must be a member of .NET that I can verify or know who you are from prior post history to be added (to avoid adding spammers to our list).

pkt_kk (AT) yahoo (DOT) com

[Bar-Ang]

me too.

[TheGood]

Everyone who's PM'd me on .ORG has been added.  My yahoo email address had several emails that went to spam. Some of them didn't have .NET or .ORG usernames in the email.  I'll follow up with them but please, send your .ORG or .NET username in the first email you send so I'll know who you are and can add you to our mailing list directly.

Monday 12/2 BUMP

[TheGood]

Tuesday BUMP, .NET hasn't been available since yesterday AM, so we're still in limbo.

Good evening
So what's the plan?
I understand the list is for if we lose contact on both .org & .net.
Does that mean you hold it in trust until then?
Should all contributors receive a copy?
That's how our neighborhood watch list worked, everyone who added their name & number got a copy.

Well, I didn't think that people would want their email sent to all members of the list unless we actually lost the .NET website so that's why I was keeping it in 'trust' until the time it became necessary.  Also I didn't think it would be fair to the Calguns forum (greater membership) to start up offline discussion via e-mail before we know the fate of .NET/.ORG.

That's why I stated in the initial post that I wouldn't invoke the email list until we were fairly sure that .NET was permanently down, which also includes loss of contact to -some- of the members via .ORG.

I don't think it's fair to the members who signed up for the email list to change the criteria for opening up email communication in the manner that I initially posted, do you?

I think you should keep the list and never use it unless calguns dies, then send a mass email out (bcc everyone so addresses aren't shared) with some location where we can meet (online). I don't know what that location would be.

I don't think it needs to be any more complicated than that. Just a last resort backup list. I hope it never comes to that!!!!!!! It is such a shame what is happening right now. I really hope the damn website gets fixed.

i'm not smart enough to know the complicated merging, moving to a bigger server, etc. i thinks kes wanted to save the contents and history but it's not happening. we saw his efforts in trying to make it work but it keeps getting worse.

he's probably trying for the last time before making a decision to start with a clean slate.

If only he let us know...

Site troubles are one thing. But it sure would be nice to get a little update once in a while. At least tell us what is going on.

true! he's probably frustrated, pulling his hair out and swollen hand for punching the wall that's why he's not able to type to give us an update.

I'm wondering if for some reason he can't login to .NET/.ORG, it's really strange that we haven't heard anything from him in over 2 months.

The email list is at 26 members, with 3 members who are not verified yet.
I need verification of membership on .NET/.ORG from the following people (or a longstanding member who's knows any of the following to 'vouch' for them).

jbe*******s (at) gmail (dot) com
her*****g (at) gmail (dot) com
r****y (at) squ*** (dot) net

[Bar-Ang]

the first one "j--------" looks familiar. when .net is available, i'll try to find him and let you know if haven't already.

i tried this morning and it's not coming up so i'm guessing i thought i've seen that name (outside o/t) or just my imagination. my bad. 

[tuolumnejim]

Pm sent.

[SandiegoPoopButt619]

Did you get my message? I am SexyStud69@gmail.com just in case you didn't get my message

Just kidding, I think we will be around for a few more weeks at least I haven't got around to making a contact email yet but I will. I don't want to lose contact with you guys! What would I do??

[kimber_ss]

Haven't reached .net in 48 hours. Worried....  

[Bar-Ang]

i was able to get on yesterday for a brief moment and a little longer last night and then followed by 504 of course.
