SHTF Groups

[Goodburbon]

Not sure how the forum is setup, if there is a way to have password accessible forums, or if there is a role-based setup. Maybe best to vote on a date for a meetup and have anyone interested go to the meetup to meet and get to know each other, then issue the password there or assign roles to their account.

This is obviously a little more involved, but for a new member like me, I'd have to just start spamming posts to get my comment count up, or just wait it out till I have been a member for X days. I guess that's okay though, maybe sort of a 'right of passage' or something.

I don't personally know anyone on the forums either, so I'm not sure how I'd go about getting an 'invite' to be a part of the group either.

meet n greets, shooting competitions, shooting outings, trade activities, build parties. All of which come with time and personal interaction with one or more members in good standing.

I think voting/invite in is a much better, safer, and more secure method.

That definitly is the way to do it after the preliminary meet and greet,or interview so to say.But of course dont let on like it is an interview.

This IS something we could set up without too much problem. How would you propose we allow membership? Like the trading post?

By voting is fair.. on another 'self sufficient' forum, they like meet and greet before they allow newer members into their inner forum.

That's where you learn the secret handshake...

Secret handshake?! So the whole butt slap thing was a joke?

Wait until they want you to wave

Omicron is near me, how about some local meet & greets and go from there?

Let's do it. If you guys are willing to come down South.. we can meet at our restaurant.

Few of us roam through zombie's CO chapter too. There are less than 20 members active there if I am not mistaken.

Anyway, planning and exchanging ideas here are good, but how about a meet and greet one of these weekends. I have met many of you, would love to sit down for a lunch to pick your brainnnnn..brainnnnn.. on prep stuffs. Meanwhile, we can build trust.

We have around 15-20 depending on the season, thats plenty, having to support a group that large if there was a SHTF scenario would not be a fun task......

One needs to take there time here. Understand that when the boss let me have this forum he warned me that too much tinfoil would make it go away.

Slow and easy gang. I do understand the need but small bites.

[Omicron]

Small bites indeed.
