Title: CDG Weekly Meet Up - Thoughts?
Post by: BLUEVOODU on July 16, 2025, 08:06:11 PM
I'm thinking of putting a CDG meet up every week on the calendar. 

Time: This would be a 15 to 30 minute time per week.   What do you all think about maybe a Tuesday 8 or 9PM (EST)?
Goal: try to get as many people on board to have fun, hang out, create topics and post together. 

We used to do this on our previous format a long ago.  What does everyone think?  Please add your thoughts and comments.

I'd also like to hear from the members tagged below... hopefully we can get a response from a few that do not check as regularly.  It would be cool to have you join:

Yo! Thanks for the account help, btw. I don't know if I could meet every time, but I am definitely down to hang sometime.

Remember when we did podcasts? I wish I had saved them somewhere.

I'm down with meetups for posting.

We did?!

I genuinely don't remember. I'd do it but would depend on when.

@CreepinDeth yeah... this is YEARS ago. We had flash chat and would meet here and there. Not necessarily on a consistent regular schedule... that part is a little different.  I'm proposing that part to help coordinate - if that helps.

Let's kick off a potential time frame.

What do you all think about maybe a Tuesday 8 or 9PM (EST) for 15-30 minutes?

Title: Re: CDG Weekly Meet Up - Thoughts?

I am assuming we are talking about PM?
Title: Re: CDG Weekly Meet Up - Thoughts?
Post by: BLUEVOODU on July 29, 2025, 05:06:25 PM
lol... yes @retro junkie --> A Tuesday 8 or 9 pm start 15-30 minutes.

My bad on that... I updated the post.

Post by: BLUEVOODU on August 26, 2025, 07:48:15 PM
Alright.  I think I'm going to set 8pm.   If there are no objections, hopefully members can make it.  Please post up your thoughts

Did we ever do this? I got caught up in some stuff and was busy.

I finally figured out and am hooked into Discord......

Whelp! I am no longer on Discord......I have no idea...
I do know that Chromebook has a lot of trouble with some sites... but I never had something like this

Hey @retro junkie - we have not put this into action yet.  I was hoping at least a couple people would chime in that the time specified would work.

@Jack @Mai Valentine @targetrasp @CreepinDeth @mastermario @Grindspine  --> Would this time work for you?

Also, What did you do Retro?! LOL... it looks like you spammed someone or did something nefarious  ;D   You could always recreate an account.  I need to re-implement the login integrations mod to include this new theme.

bumping this up again:
@Jack @Mai Valentine @targetrasp @CreepinDeth @mastermario @Grindspine @retro junkie  --> Would this time work for you?  I'd like to see if we could get at least 4-5 on at a time.

What time zone are we looking at? I am central time.

@BLUEVOODU I really think my problem is the chrome OS and Discord. Not sure, but I do know that I cannot use the chrome OS to log into my credit card site. I will need to use my Linux laptop next time I try Discord.

I am pretty free most of the time, I would just need a heads up before hand to plan my day around it.

Awesome - I'll try to get it setup and on calendar for next Tuesday.

Alright everyone... let's try again for Next Tuesday. 8pm EST


@mastermario @targetrasp @retro junkie @Grindspine @Mai Valentine @Jack @Kinikko @CreepinDeth

Again, I'd love to get a couple people that haven't been here in awhile to attend as well - tagging for reach:
@trkorecky @Polygon @Boomsickle @medataoh @AngelBob

@Boomsickle  --> Many improvements have been made to the forum, you shouldn't have the issues you had when I was 1st getting everything set up.

Wait nobody was looking where?  I have no idea I was supposed to be looking somewhere.

Sorry, got caught up with some late meetings at work so wouldn't have been able to make it.

Actually, this is a good question. Was it supposed to be Discord? @BLUEVOODU
Title: Re: CDG Weekly Meet Up - Thoughts?

I would have been there but I was preoccupied. Surely I will be free this coming Tuesday...

Post by: BLUEVOODU on October 17, 2025, 03:58:21 PM
That's a good question. I meant for this to be a time to get on board and post up.  However, I don't see why it couldn't be both

Ie we technically did both on the old boards. I'd be up with filling both!  Thoughts?

Not sure how many will remember, but I had flashchat on the old board.  We would post up and be in flashchat.  That was a decent system... and flash isn't really a thing anymore. Looking it up, it looks like it died hard in 2020... which, I thought it was well before that.

If we could get people active in both... that would be awesome.


It would also be cool if people could invite others to join up.
