Was 3 hours short notice? Maybe. Are people expected to be on the boards 24/7? No. But the way I see it is this: a meet is a meet. People start blowing off the short notice ones, and other people blow off the long notice ones. The people that DO SHOW start to say "WTF? Why should I show up if nobody else gives a crap?" Then pretty soon you have an extict club like the faded out CJCFBO {or whatever the call letters were} that I was kinda a founding member of.
Just looking at the facts! But at least I got to meet Mike {nice dood!} and see Tim again, and have to listen to his jibber jabber about how AMCs suck...  |
I disagree with that... the purpose of forums is to share info with each other regarding a common interest... meets are an added bonus. The forums could probably still survive even without the concept of monthly (or even short notice) meets. There are many other meets this forum has that has great turnouts, imo.
I (among others) have made many friends from this forum and we hang out regularly aside from the meets. I don't think that the 3 hr short notice one being a flop is going to burn this club to the ground.
Just my 2 cents.
